Le'Veon Bell
Man, hey, man, I appreciate y' all having me,
Joe Hayden
brother.
Le'Veon Bell
Man, I appreciate y' all having me.
Joe Hayden
Hey, hey, look here, man. It was some. It was some jibber jabber going back and forth. One of them Paul boy was popping off at the mouth. You said, hey, I'm here. It looked like an initial duck.
Le'Veon Bell
Get out the way.
Joe Hayden
Don't let him get to me. But then he made like he was coming back. I really think what happened is he realized as soon as he said that, you know what? This dude can actually fight. You know, he got some power, and he around my same size. It ain't gonna be some little dude that I'm fighting. You know what I'm saying?
Le'Veon Bell
And it's gonna be pretty age too old.
Joe Hayden
So, I mean, that's what I think. Why do you think he initially was. Was ducking you, bro?
Le'Veon Bell
Man, he initially dug. I knew. Let me tell you how I knew he's gonna duck. Let me tell you how I originally knew. I originally knew right away when he was naming in the interview, right? He was named all the NFL, man. I knock out. I. I fight Tom Brady. I fight Gronkowski. I'll throttle Miles gear. I will throttle mouse gear, right? So he's. He's saying all this stuff, bro. I'm like, oh, bet. But he naming all these players. And Logan knows I fight. Like, we don't fought him. We both fought on misfits promotion before. Like, he knows that I fight, but he made sure lady on Bill's name wasn't said. He's making sure.
Joe Hayden
Yeah.
Le'Veon Bell
Name all these other guys. Boom, boom. I'm like, no, you want to fight NFL players, Logan? No. You know, I'm the one who got training. I'm the one who actually do this.
James 'Debo' Harrison
What's up?
Le'Veon Bell
Let's do it in Pittsburgh. That's. That's what we. That's where Leon Bello, he made the name, right? Let's do it in Pittsburgh. Because the first NFL draft in, like, I don't know, like, 50, 60 years, perfect time like this, and all these NFL players gonna be there that you swear that you just so much tougher than bro. Come. Come knock out somebody or come beat somebody who actually do this in front of NFL people. He like, okay. Oh, no. First you say, no. Like, nah, bro. Levion, bro, you ain't no draw. Plus you can actually fight. It's like, hold up.
Joe Hayden
No, no, no. He ain't say, you could actually fight.
James 'Debo' Harrison
No, no, no, no, no. I think that's what he said the first one. That's what I saw.
Joe Hayden
He said.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He said, you can fight.
Le'Veon Bell
And.
James 'Debo' Harrison
And I was like this. Oh, yeah, you don't want to fight somebody that really got hands. He's like, you're not.
Le'Veon Bell
That's what it was.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He's like, tom Brady, not in the league. Fight Leon,
Le'Veon Bell
Tom Brady not in the league. Grunk, not in the league. AB not in the league. Y' all naming all these dudes who not in the league. So now you try to move the goal post the first time, trying to say, I won in the league or whatever. But you. But, Eric, I love that the Internet,
James 'Debo' Harrison
they don't let nothing slide past them.
Joe Hayden
No. At all.
Le'Veon Bell
Like, hold up, bro. You were just talking about Tom Brady, though. Like, why you talking about fight Tom Brady? He a in the league, but he wanted to fight somebody. He wanted to fight somebody who not necessarily trained in that.
Joe Hayden
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
And don't get me wrong. I feel like if football players come over to boxing and train, I think, like, football players like the best athletes in the world. You know what I'm saying? So I think the transition for football players would be a lot easier to box, but let's be realistic. It would definitely need training and. And a lot of practice in the gym, bro, because boxing is completely different, cardio wise, cardiovascular wise. Like, so Miles Garrett or somebody that come in there first time, they're gonna gas out in the first minute, two minutes, bro, you know what I'm saying? Versus somebody who actually know how to throw a punch, somebody who actually knows how to defend herself without exerting too much energy, you know what I'm saying? And Logan knows that, so he's trying to finagle a big name in a football, but beat him up, like, just beat up a football player? Like, how Jake do Jake want to beat up Mike Tyson? Mike Tyson old as hell. A lot of people like, man, this fight was rigged, bro. It's not rigged. It's only rigged in the fact that Mike Tyson is 60 years old, bro. So what can y' all expect Mike Tyson to do at 60? Imagine, bro. Imagine racing, bro. If I race Usain Bolt, if I got my son, I race you saying boat when he's 60, bro. Oh, yeah. I beat the fastest man in the world, though. Yeah, bro. You say both 60, though, but I could beat him in the race. Like, yo, come on, man, let's be real. Let's be real. So you sitting there saying, hey, Logan, like, man, I'm an athlete this and third, we'll get in the Ring with an athlete, then getting a ring with an athlete that actually does this, right? You know what I'm saying? Don't try to call out somebody who don't do it. I feel like. And then he said, bro, y' all know what the word throttle means? Because I had to, like, look it up. I literally had. Y' all know what throttle means, man. Bro, he's still full of. He said he will basically choke out Miles Garrett, bro. I would literally pay for that. Hold up. Like, you go to the room with Miles Garrett, I guarantee you talking him out. I don't give a. But he tried to change it. Listen to the interview. He tried like, oh, boxing match. Boxing match. He tried to change it. Like, no, you said throttle. Throttle. You would throttle Miles Gary, bro. You know what Miles Gary would do when you in the room, y' all try to wrestle with. Single you up, bro. But then he tried to change it. He tried to change it to a boxing match. So as soon as you changed to a boxing match. No, no, I'm not letting that slide. Okay, if you want a box, then box me, right?
Joe Hayden
So this is what I wanted. It was said that at some point that y' all was actually talking. Was there talks going on that it was an actual chance that it was gonna be a fight until he, you know, he had his boss call and be like, hey, get me out of this, so I'll get my ass whooped.
Le'Veon Bell
So we doing the back and forth on the Internet. Like, people kind of seeing the back and forth, but he sends the dm. He sends the dm, like, send me the email for the contract, bro. So the moment I see the dm, it was like an hour later. The moment I see the dm, send my email, like, oh, yeah, bet. Send it.
Joe Hayden
Boom.
Le'Veon Bell
No response. Once he sending no response. I was gonna give him 24 hours before I start calling him out again. Don't give him 24 hours. Like, bro, I ain't got no contract if it's 24 hours. I got no contract, but I'll wait. I was like, you know what? It's a weekend. It's. It's Sunday. I'm gonna get into Monday, get him to Monday. Before Monday come. Oh, now he got a mysterious phone call. First of all, you never drew up the contract either. Y' all know the. When he got the phone call from the wwe, Chris, whoever. Chris is from wwe, right? He got the phone call. He like, man, I can't fight. He's like, man, I had to fight drawn up. He, like, showing the camera, but he don't show the camera. He's like. So he had a contract drawn up, but he never shows it. I'm like, bro, you ain't had no contract. You full of. You scared the whole time. He already do. He's gonna find a way to duck it. So he has somebody call in. Hey, look, no matter what, tell me nothing.
Joe Hayden
I can't have. I can't have it. I can't go over there and have this man put his hands on me.
Le'Veon Bell
Bro. It went from, bro, let's fight to, okay, let's spar, to like. Okay, let's spar. You gotta bet a million dollars. I'm gonna tell you what happened. He didn't think. He either thought I was gonna say
James 'Debo' Harrison
no, he didn't think you had it
Le'Veon Bell
done, or he ain't think I had it as one of the two. He thought I was gonna say no, or he thought I could better. I wasn't gonna be able to put the money up when I was. When he. Million dollars. Bet.
Joe Hayden
Bet it. I'll be there.
Le'Veon Bell
Just understand. No judges, though.
Joe Hayden
Listen, man, I'm trying to tell you right now, this boy gonna deny all this, man. You're gonna have to have you guys have some backup on that to prove that that's what happened. Bro, he gonna try and deny all this.
Le'Veon Bell
What? Deny what? He can't deny it.
Joe Hayden
You got some receipts. I know you got the receipts.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, for sure. Like, everything. I got hella receipts. Hella receipt. Oh, bro, I'm not about to let you off the hook. I'm about to stay in his head the whole time. Bro, you have to say something, bro. Because, like, bro, you can't just go silent after like, oh, yeah, my boss is called, and everybody know. You're full of. Bro, you full. You fake the phone call, bro.
Joe Hayden
Hey, they just happen to be recording. Hey, they ain't gonna let me. Hey, hey, Record me on this, because I can't. Hey, listen.
Le'Veon Bell
What? Who?
Joe Hayden
I can't. I'm too valuable.
Le'Veon Bell
What? Huh? Oh, I want to do it. No.
Joe Hayden
Trash. Trash.
Le'Veon Bell
He said the crazy questions. I just happen to be live. They called me while I'm live, man. Look, man, I see you talking about fighting, sparring, leave you on. But basically. Hold up. Basically trying to say is they said you can't go work out because that's all we doing. We sparring. It's not even.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Low and low. Like, it just doesn't make sense to me because I'm like, I understand a regular, real fight. It's a spawn match. Can he not go spa. Like. Like, you can't go do nothing. I like, I see him spawns all the time. You can practice.
Joe Hayden
You can't practice.
James 'Debo' Harrison
You can't practice on Bell because he think he might hit him. I don't know.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, you know why?
Joe Hayden
Because.
Le'Veon Bell
You know why? Because they don't want him to slip and fall and hurt himself, bro. He posted a video with Bradley Martin, bro. Them do his wrong messing and throwing each other off the wall. And I posted it. But, bro, I'm posting all this, bro. If y. Everybody's watching, bro, go to my Twitter. I'm posting everything. Posting all his foolish. Letting y' all know, bro. It's just clearly a duck. And he lying full of a. The WWE ain't call, but they don't care about him fighting. Why they care about Brock Lesnar fighting in ufc? Why they a care about him?
Joe Hayden
They said Lesnar could win. They said you can't. You can't win this.
Le'Veon Bell
They let Logan. They let Logan Paul fight Dylan Dennis. Logan Paul fought Dylan Dennis Wise with wwe. Logan could fight Dylan Dennis, but Logan can't fight NFL player slash Leon Bell not even fight. You can't. Boring.
Joe Hayden
You came.
Le'Veon Bell
You came to practice with them. You came to practice.
Joe Hayden
So he shouldn't be able to do none of that. I don't think that should be wrestling. That's outside of wwe. No sparring. I don't even know if he should be able to lift weights over his head if that's the case.
Le'Veon Bell
He might. He might sleep.
Joe Hayden
Wow.
Le'Veon Bell
You get what I'm trying to say?
James 'Debo' Harrison
You're basically saying you can't. He can't do nothing.
Joe Hayden
I wonder who he was.
James 'Debo' Harrison
It's Chris.
Joe Hayden
Find out who Chris is in the wwe. If he got any. If he got any pool, we can figure that out. I know.
Le'Veon Bell
He said. He said. He said, the boss is called bro. Is that triple?
Joe Hayden
He didn't even give a name.
Le'Veon Bell
He said, the boss is called. I'm like, who? I'm like Triple H.
Joe Hayden
No, the boss was calling.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Triple H is the boss. It must have been Triple H. It had to be Triple H from the phone.
Joe Hayden
Why wouldn't I say Triple H?
Le'Veon Bell
But Triple H name ain't Trish.
Joe Hayden
Hey, man.
Le'Veon Bell
So it's like, Nick, what you mean Boston is calling bro?
Joe Hayden
Who.
Le'Veon Bell
Who's calling you, fam?
James 'Debo' Harrison
We gotta find out.
Le'Veon Bell
What now?
James 'Debo' Harrison
I don't know that.
Joe Hayden
Hey, his homeboy Chris said, hey, man, get me up out of this, man. Say you. Say you wwe Chris.
Le'Veon Bell
Chris full of too, bro. Hey, but Chris, hey, Chris a real friend, bro. He's like, hey, look, whatever you need. We. We gonna keep you out of this ring from this dude, man. Whatever you need, man. I know you want to get in there with somebody old or somebody that can't really train or. But we gonna leave you out of this one, man. We're gonna try to. Just so we can keep you in great, great faces. Like, ain't like you ducked. We want to make it seem like you can't do it. No, no, no, no. We see right through that. We know you're an actor. We know you're an actor. That's why you do YouTube. That's why you do wrestling, because you're a good actor. I just want to say this skit was very, very, very terrible. It was a terrible skit. Like, the acting was terrible. You feel me? Trash acting. I want my money back from this movie. Like, I need a refund. I need a refund, actually. Logan owe me a million dollars, bro. You made the bet, bro.
Joe Hayden
Then you gonna just go make the bet. Then you go back out by default.
Le'Veon Bell
Logan been running around. Oh, man. Floyd Mayweather owe me a million dollars. He owe me a million and a half dollars for my fight. No, no, Logan, you owe me a million dollars now. Logan, you owe me a million dollars. If we owe you, you owe me.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yeah, tell Floyd send me that 1.5 this way.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, straight up. Yeah, I'm getting this 1.5 before it, like, straight up. You come get it for me.

Le'Veon Bell

Joe Hayden
Come get it in blood. How you want it, man?
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, Logan Paul want to duck mouth. Give me Jake Paul. Give me Chris Paul. Give me Paul. Give me Paul.

Le'Veon Bell
That was real time.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That was real time. You did that.
Joe Hayden
That was for my guy. That was for my guy, Will Gay. To be honest with you, man, that was okay, man. AP did something vicious to Will Gay over there, man. He stepped on that, man.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He stepped on that, man.
Joe Hayden
Did the gorilla yell on him? Got up and do it. I was so mad, dog. I ain't know what to do. So we get back. We get back into the, like, Monday, we watching the film and we got a.

So it was a fight. I'm fighting this dude named JMX on misfits, right? I'm fighting them. The winner of that fight got Logan Paul because look like, yeah, I want to fight the winner of that. I want to fight the winner. This is like two years ago. This is in 2024, 2023, three years ago, right? I fight the dude J O MX I beating, like, convincingly, like, bad. Like JMX barely survived. I'm supposed to fight Logan next. Logan see that fight, he instantly like ducks. But at this time, I'm not really calling him out on crazy, you know what I'm saying?
Joe Hayden

James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what. That's.
Le'Veon Bell
That's what I heard, bro. When he was saying. When he was talking about all them names by them football players, he was trying his hardest not to say Leon Bell. They said Antonio Brown.

Getting close. Getting closer than bees.
Le'Veon Bell
Oh, Logan Paul was like, bro, just don't say the word ladyon. Don't say Leon Bell, anybody but them. Soon as people start lady on bell, then he start acting like he entertaining it. Oh, yeah, you sit over, bro. He thought I was gonna say no to the 10 ounce head. 10 ounce gloves and no headgear. He thought I was gonna say no to that because we sparring, bro. I'm g put cool if you want to do that. I'm not gonna be getting hit. You're the one gonna be getting hit. Like, yeah, so he thought I was gonna say no to that. But he don't understand, bro. I'm so confident in my ability and in this boxing and plus. But athletically speaking, bro, I didn't play with the best athletes in the world, bro. So, like, you know, quickness wise or reaction wise, bro, but I'M telling you, I'm getting. Getting here with all these boxers. And, bro, it's not even close, bro. Like, because football is like, bro, Deba, me and you, we meeting right here. We gonna keep going until somebody stop. Like, till somebody stops. But, like, everybody's mindset. Not like that in boxing. Somebody get punched, oh, you know who you got? You know how you got
Joe Hayden
no pad
James 'Debo' Harrison
check his club?
Le'Veon Bell
The same. The same way with football. Y' all know y' all be seeing. People would be like, oh, yeah, he ain't really on that.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Like, turn this down.
Le'Veon Bell
It's. It's the same with boxing, bro. It's the same. It's just like, once you hit the skill up, you start seeing like, oh, yeah, why hit this Doing his body. He didn't like that. He running. He running the whole time. You know what I'm saying?
Joe Hayden
Yeah.
Le'Veon Bell
And that comes with experience and just being in there, you know what I'm saying? Logan knows that. Literally, he knows that. So he'll. He is like, call somebody out who don't really have the understanding that, like, it's so much more than physicality in boxing, you know?
Joe Hayden
Let me. Let me ask you before we get you out, I know you got a time limit on you. Hey, so Clarissa Shield said that she could. She. She said she perfect person.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I wanted to ask.
Joe Hayden
Thank you. So with that being said, before I show a video, I'm a prefix it with what she said. I guess on. On Nightcap that he didn't have any patent in his gloves. But this is a guy that Romeo, he. He whooped on, and she got put, put, put down. Show the video. We got the video, please.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, I know what clip y' all talking about. You're playing real quick. We can talk through it.

Le'Veon Bell
Oh, y' all playing it. See?
James 'Debo' Harrison
Oh, did you see that?
Le'Veon Bell
Levy on. So look, I love. Course I. I legitimately think she's the best female fighter.
Joe Hayden
No question now, right?
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
But she tripping. She tripping, bro. Rolly, I understand. He. I know what she's saying. Everything she says, the reason why I love her, because she really believes this.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying.
Le'Veon Bell
She really believes it. Yeah. And it's like, I see what she said. It makes sense. In her head, it makes sense, but I don't think she's not. She's trying to realize, right. Oh, when he hit you, that gonna feel different than when the other woman hit you like that. She gonna feel different. With no head girl in an actual fight, that gonna Feel different. You know what I'm saying? And I'm. I love person SHIELD So, you know, she might see this, and she might think I'm talking about, but I'm not at all. Like. I feel like she's one of the greatest fighters in our generation. Female fighters for sure. But, yeah, especially Rolly. Like, Rolly, bro, He unorthodox, but he's like that. Like, Rolly like that, bro.
Joe Hayden
I looked at some of his stuff. I'm like, he putting. He putting cats down. Left, right, left, right.
Le'Veon Bell
I'm like, broly can punch, bro. Like, people getting confused because he went against Tank, and Tank is just next level.
Joe Hayden
Hey, Tank.
Le'Veon Bell
Tank is levels, right?
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
Like, Tank is just next level. So Tank is like, okay, I'm gonna take aggressive. Aggressive. I'm gonna take advantage of your aggressiveness. I'm gonna step back, let you run in uppercut. I'm out of here. He ran right to the ropes. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. If Shields got that reaction. Boom, I would have knocked him out. And it's because. Rolling. If you don't knock him out. I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm coming the entire time. And you got to knock him out because.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Did you see the girl?
Le'Veon Bell
Did you see the girl?
James 'Debo' Harrison
She just fought Le'Veon, that the. The big girl, and they was in there throwing punches. So I'm. I'm respecting SHIELD too. I think she's the best female fighter out there. But I'm like, when that other girl was giving punches and she's eating them, I'm like, how many of them big boy joints are you gonna eat?
Joe Hayden
You ain't getting out of the way or nothing.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I don't know.
Le'Veon Bell
She like. She's not eating those. She's not eating those.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying. It's just a different strength. It's like, that's just why you don't. That's the only thing.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, she's not. She's not really understanding because she's just thinking, like, female fighting. Okay? I fight at 185. If I'm fighting a girl, If I find a girl at 147, what I would do to her, she's not realizing, bro. Bro. R has a different. He's a man. He has a different energy.
Joe Hayden
I'm talking just actual, like, biological, professional. He's a professional muscle
Le'Veon Bell
jab to the body, bro. You know, if I punch you to your stomach, how that's gonna hurt her? Bro, if only punch her to the stomach. Not even knocking her out. Just punch her to the stomach. You know how hard that's bro? She's gonna feel that and not want to fight no more like, she's not gonna. You ever. That's what it feels like. It's like. But you still gotta sit there and fight. Like, bro, she's nobody. Keep saying that.
Joe Hayden
Nope.
Le'Veon Bell
But I love personal shields, though. I think she's the question.
Joe Hayden
You start, you know, trying to go into, like, fighting, like, and doing it at a high level. That's. I don't. I don't think that's smart, man.
Le'Veon Bell
She said Roy is unorthodox.
Joe Hayden
He is.
Le'Veon Bell
But he's still like, yes. Yeah, he's just unorthodox. He's orthodox. You know what I'm saying? But he's still bro. Ry got skill, bro. People say he don't got skill. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. He just not as skilled as Gervonte. It's still levels. Don't get me wrong. Javante been this. You know, it's like football.
Joe Hayden
Yeah.
Le'Veon Bell
You know what I'm saying? You got corners, first team ball pro. You got Joe, you got Jay Jarrison, mvp. You know what I'm saying? But you got people who are still NFL. But I'm just. Maybe not that level. But you're still in the. Still in the league. It's like, yeah, you still.
Joe Hayden
That's what I be telling people. Like, the same thing when they be talking about basketball. Oh, man, he trash. I said, man, you couldn't do nothing with that dude sitting on the bench sometimes. You couldn't do nothing with him. The dude that ain't dressed on the field for us that's sitting there undressed. You couldn't do nothing with him.
Le'Veon Bell
No. You want no smoke, bro?
Joe Hayden
At all.
Le'Veon Bell
Because look, Logan Paul talking about some, man. Yeah, I'll throttle. I'll knock out any fighter. But imagine him trying to run a route on Jeff. I will bet my bottom dollar he doesn't catch one ball.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
Like, you won't catch one ball. This one's like, we athletes is, like, different. It's like, okay, if you don't really know how to run a route, Logan, you're not gonna catch a path with Joe Hayden. It's the same with boxing. It's like, bro, he's in the chocolate fighter. Like, no, bro, fight somebody about train
Joe Hayden
like, yeah, weird for sure, man.
Le'Veon Bell
But both of. Both of them be doing weird stuff like that. They make it. That's why the Jake Paul and, and Tyson. Mike Tyson. Everybody was saying it's rigged. It's not rigged in the fact that Mike Tyson, I think Mike Tyson really in there trying. He just old. He old.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I knew it wasn't tripping.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Joe Hayden
I feel like Mike, let him, let him, let him, let him, let him, let him live a little bit, man.
Le'Veon Bell
Listen, I'm telling you.
James 'Debo' Harrison
But fatigue make chumps out of everybody.
Le'Veon Bell
I'm tell everybody.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Lift up your arms.
Le'Veon Bell
You look weak, bro. People don't felt it. Like, people ain't filthy, like you ain't entering felt it before. You ain't gonna know. But Mike Tyson, bro, I'm like, he's trying, but I promise you, he is trying. The just 60. He thinks he's 21. He think he's still going there and do that. Oh, yeah. B fight, Jake Paul. I'm going to knock him out. But realistically, bro, them knees, the explosion might get what made him special. He ain't got that.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He gonna give you them 30 seconds. That little, that little 15 second clip on Tick tock. Where he coming that joint.
Joe Hayden
Hey, that's what I mean.

James 'Debo' Harrison
I'm like this. Oh, everybody, oh, you see Mike moving all fast? I'm like, yeah, he got 10 more seconds. It's a rap.
Le'Veon Bell
I wish I was, bro. I wish I was there when they were doing the book cut ups, bro. I want to know how much time he took the rest before he came back, bro. Bro, that got me. That's all he had.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He was exhausted. Lay me on.
Joe Hayden
You can't. Damn, man, y' all killing me, man. Y'.
Amber Grimes

Le'Veon Bell
Mike Tyson was really in that. I'm like, bro, that for sure. Fatigue. I was watching the clip saying, the same bro went out there, round one. Was out there for a minute, man got tired. I'm like, man, let me tell you, Jake ain't as good as everybody think he is. Because Jake was. It was after the fight, he in the. He getting the interview. He like, yeah, I seen Mike Tyson.
Joe Hayden

James 'Debo' Harrison
I need to watch it.
Joe Hayden
Just.
Le'Veon Bell
Jake. Jake ain't as good as everybody thinks. He should have. He should have stopped, Mike. Mike is 60. He should not be in there and be on the last eight rounds with you. But he wasn't good enough to stop, Mike. That's all it was. Like, you weren't good enough to stop. But he was trying, bro. Watch Jake trying to bro. Mike Tyson.
James 'Debo' Harrison
60 was.
Le'Veon Bell
He was ducking some Jacob throw some.
Joe Hayden
Hey, I listen something. I was like, oh, Lord.
Le'Veon Bell
Okay, I see you welling up on that. I'm. At least get out of that. Like, God damn. You know what I'm saying?
Joe Hayden
Yeah. Okay.
Le'Veon Bell
But, like, no, Jake was trying to sleep, Mike.
Joe Hayden
Bro.
Le'Veon Bell
That guy lost in the wash. Like, oh, man. Like, Jake was trying to let him eat. No, no, no, no, no. Jake was trying to sleep, Mike. Everybody got Netflix. Go back and watch.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I'm gonna go back and watch.
Joe Hayden
Go back and watch it. Yeah, bro.
Le'Veon Bell
Hey, let me ask you a quick.
Joe Hayden
Before we get you out of here. I know you gotta. You gotta hit the gym. What do you think of the. The McCarthy hired. Hello.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That boy wi fi went out.
Joe Hayden
Did wi fi go out?
Le'Veon Bell
He said, what? Hello? All right, bro. It is what it is, bro. I ain't gonna say. I'm not gonna say I'm ecstatic about it, but it's like, it's cool. It's cool. It's like, it's cool.
Joe Hayden
Hey, listen, I. I give you. I'll give you. I'll give you how I felt. I'll give you how I felt. I'm good with it now. I'm on it. I'm on it now because I believe that he with it. I'm good with now because I believe that he. He's there because he truly cares. He understands what it is to be a Steeler, A true Steeler. Like, what it is, what that legacy is, what it is all about. It's about Lombardi's. It's about winning championships. And that's the first thing that he was talking about. And I ain't gonna lie to you, bro. Like, when he first started crying, I text Joe. I said, man, this cry. What the. You know, people.
Le'Veon Bell
You know, he was.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He was from the city. Look, lady, on laughing.
Joe Hayden
He got a passion and, and what I'm seeing right now, especially with Omar being able to. Omar like he should be able to gm, you see what he's doing. This has been the most active free agency that you have seen ever since this, since 2000, whatever, since the Steelers have started. And that is a big part of Omar and his vision and what he sees and how he approaches. Normally we go and we, we, we. We keep the guys that we have and we sign them under contract, but we can't do it because we done missed over the last 10 years on our first and second rounders and we've only been able to keep two. With that being the case, he done got a position. He's now able. It's a collective that they use where you can now go and say, you know what? We got this, we got that, let's get this, let's get that. And right now, dude, I'm loving what he is doing. I'm telling people, I've been telling people, give this man three years and judge him from this point forward and I promise you, you're going to see Omar Khan GM the way that I knew he could from the very beginning.
Le'Veon Bell
Think Omar is definitely the problem. And to be honest, bro, I didn't think Tomlin was the problem. But I feel like them switching, look, just culture change, maybe it's needed, maybe it's not. I just feel like if you going from Tomlin to Mike McCarthy is them their tomato, tomatoes, like kind of same,
Joe Hayden
I would understand that as far as the coach goes. But this is the thing you don't understand as far as the inside. I've been said the same thing. The shift of power that Tomlin had was enormous in his last 10 to 12 years.
Le'Veon Bell
What do you mean?
Joe Hayden
As far as who you drafted, where you drafted them.
Le'Veon Bell
Okay.
Joe Hayden
Who you kept, who you let go.
Le'Veon Bell
Okay, so. And the last 12 years, what's that gotta do with Thomas and Mike McCarthy?
Joe Hayden
So he's saying the coach is the same. True statement, but now you're allowing your GM to GM to get players that everybody as collective feels can do it. And not a single person saying, yeah, I know they saying he a three, but I think he's a one. So let's get him.
Le'Veon Bell
Hold on. So who you say was doing that? Tomlin.
Joe Hayden
We're saying Tomlin had the last call on what it was that he wanted to do as far as.
Le'Veon Bell
So he had to like the last final.
Joe Hayden
Oh, yes, he could overrule. I mean you could have a room, whatever. He was final word. I know for sure. All you got to do is look at anywhere from about. I would say it started to switch around that 14 to 16 range, and from there it was just bloom.
Le'Veon Bell
See, look, I will say the culture change was needed. I do the Mike McCarthy one. You kind of talking me into it a little bit. I'm starting to see different side of it. Originally, I didn't like.
Joe Hayden
Now look at the coaches he brought in. Look at the coaches McCarthy has brought in.
Le'Veon Bell
I'm interested to see how it goes. You know what I'm saying? I just don't want. We go out here and then we go nine and eight, and then it's like, okay, what the.
Joe Hayden
I believe this. I believe that we're going to have a subpar year if we don't. If. If things don't pan out at the quarterback position. Once we're able to correct that. We can't correct that right now.
Le'Veon Bell
We can't. Yeah. I don't think. Tom. I don't think it was necessary time to use the quarterback. I think we need a quarterback, a solidified quarterback. And I think once we got that, I think everything kind of falls into place. But think about it. The person who touching the ball, every single player, is a quarterback, bro. This ain't working like. Then you're of course gonna look, you know what I'm saying, unorthodox. We look terrible on offense. We gotta eat some.
Joe Hayden
We also gotta be on defense. You telling me that defense all of a sudden couldn't stop nobody, or did they change the dynamics of what that defense was doing?
Le'Veon Bell
Y' all both play defense. Y' all know a little bit. When I. When I'm on offense, I consist with defense getting tired. So we out there all the time, but I know defensive players is getting tired. You know what I'm saying?
Joe Hayden
Tell them how these corners was doing, man, week in and week out. The basics. They weren't being taught the basics, bro.
Le'Veon Bell
But is that.
Joe Hayden
It has to be because everybody's doing it.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yeah.
Le'Veon Bell
What do you mean the basics, bro? Stop. Joe. Was it like that when you was there?
Joe Hayden
I mean, not Pro bowl all time. A Hall of Fame corner. Joe knew what to do.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, I know.
Joe Hayden
Tell me this. Were you taught anything and developed, I mean, to a greater extent that you could say yes.

Joe Hayden
You know, Rob and I was always a great hang.

Joe Hayden
And it's exponentially more so in the Trump White House. Listen to the new season of here's the thing on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. They developed me greater than I was. So much greater than I was developed.
Le'Veon Bell
Joe was already first team. I knew they all propose, like, develop. Right. When you was with Tom, did he
James 'Debo' Harrison
give you anything to help you Coach Tomlin? That's the one thing I tell you he did for me. I knew when I was going into the games, he never. He didn't really teach me too much or nothing. Cause I'm already. I'm year eight in the league. I know a lot of shit. But I'm saying the way that we studied tape and the way that he prepared me to go into the game, I knew what they was about to do.
Joe Hayden
Let's repeat. Let's repeat how you felt about your position. Coach. Then Joe, the position on that.
James 'Debo' Harrison
When I had Coach Scrapp there, when I had Cornell Lake. Coach Lake, amazing coach. When Lake got up out of there, he left with his son. Then we had my man Scrap that came in there.
Amber Grimes
Not good.
Le'Veon Bell
I love Coach Lake.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That man, the next coach we had, Scrapper, he got out of there after the year. He wasn't that good. And that's where it was just. We needed our coaching staff to be on the same page. They were kind of just talking a little different languages. You know what I'm saying? It's not a little language.
Joe Hayden
And a should be a. No matter if your DB coach is
James 'Debo' Harrison
telling you
Joe Hayden
that's what it should be. And then when you go in there and you try and change certain parts of a defense, you can't change certain parts of a defense to cover up one weakness because you create two or three other ones. It's the same thing. If y' all do it on offense and say, hey, we go pick up this dude with so and so and then they bring something else. You're creating more weaknesses. When you got to say, you know what if this happens, chalk it up to the defense or the quarterback got to see it and get it out.
Le'Veon Bell
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Hayden
It's a lot, it was a lot of that going on on defense with the switching of.
Le'Veon Bell
I don't, Yeah, I don't really fully understand the whole schematics on defense. Y' all understand that way better than me. So like obviously watching like what the. Like why, why? And I feel y' all and coach time was more defensive minded. So y' all know way more what's going on. So I could. I definitely hear y' all side of it. And hearing y' all saying it's like, yeah, y' all tell me this.
Joe Hayden
If he's defensive minded and all that is happening. What's going on?
Le'Veon Bell
I feel you. I feel you. That's why I like, I, I agree. A culture change was needed. I'm just saying Mike McCarthy is like, was he the one? Because you know what I'm saying, that's the only thing.
Joe Hayden
Listen to put people in positions to enforce and teach yours. That's why when you get as a head of coach, as a head coach, you go and you create. You go ahead and you make and you, you, you get your, you get your staff together. A head coach should be as least hands on as possible because he's going to get the people he know can do the job so that he don't have to sit there and micromanage. When you want to micromanage, you don't go and create people that go and
Le'Veon Bell
do what you do.
Joe Hayden
You create people that sit where you're at and then when the time come, they move laterally to another spot and never go and make more of you because they don't know what it is you do because all you do is manage them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Le'Veon Bell
I, I get that what you're saying. I get exactly what you're saying. I follow that. That's why I look, I might against the culture change, bro. We just gonna. I'm eager to see how it goes.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
Because my McCarthy offensive minded. He's offensive minded. So it's like the problem with the defense and we gonna see like I get somebody in there knows what's going on and yeah, that know what's going on. That's there all is. And don't it come down, bro. We need some, like, to step up, though.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Le'Veon Bell
Say what? Yeah, that's what it is. It's like we need them captains and leaders over there to step up, too. You know what I'm saying? I feel like from the beginning of the season, it was always like, oh, it's Cam. Go play. Is he not gonna play? His TJ gonna play. Is he not? I feel like it's a whole bunch of up and downs. Like, that should start from the beginning of the season, like, but it started now with OTAs and training camp, or Mini can't come up. We're gonna see, bro. I'm excited, though. Like, I' ma see what my McCarthy got, bro. I'm. I wasn't opposed or I wasn't forward at first, but now I'm not opposed hearing y' all out. We gonna just see how it goes.
Joe Hayden
Okay. I love.
Le'Veon Bell
I love hearing perspectives. You know, you gotta give him a

Le'Veon Bell
You already know.
Joe Hayden
All right, Joe, man. Yes. I told you he was ducking W's
James 'Debo' Harrison
in the chat for Le'Veon Bell, man. That's a good man right there.
Joe Hayden
No question, brother.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's a good man.
Joe Hayden
Look here, man, As I said, the Steelers making moves, man.
Le'Veon Bell
Yes.
Joe Hayden
The GM Omar Khan is GMing right now, man.
Le'Veon Bell
He's been.
Joe Hayden
He's being able to do what it is that they put him in position to do. And this has been the most active free agency that. That the Steelers have had in I don't know how long, you know, like, the history of. Of the Distillers, probably since probably since the 70s.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Let you know that, man.
Joe Hayden
Cook, listen, I ain't even think that we was gonna get Michael Pittman Jr. Dude, we ended up getting Pittman Jr. After they went on ahead and they said they was gonna retain Alec Pierce, they gave that man a four year, 116 million deal. And then shortly after, he said, hey, listen, the big thing, Joe, that I said about Pittman is I was like, yo, I like it, but I don't like the number. I said, I don't like the number of the 29 million. I said, and he only got one year left on the deal. So if we get him, we got to make sure we don't give up much. And then we got to get him with a deal and what we do.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Nine Sounds good.
Joe Hayden
Late. We get him with a late pick, Joe. A late. It is a swap at that, Joe. It's a swap at that. And then we sign him to a three year 59. So now the 29 ain't 29, Joe.
James 'Debo' Harrison
No, it's not. It's less.
Joe Hayden
Catch anything around him. I see you, Omar. You like that, Joe? Do you like that you pair him with dk? Joe, where we at in the AFC north as far as the receiving core? Where we at with that duo, Joe?
James 'Debo' Harrison
Oh, in the North. In the north for two. In the north for two. In the north for two. Because after Jamar Chase and T. Higgins, obviously Ravens not messing with us, but they receivers and you know, my good old Browns right now, you know, we don't have any too many. We have Judy. But right now, The Steelers with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. Are looking like the second best in the north, you know, behind Chasen Higgins. But we got. Now we got dk. And coming off of last year, too, DK being two years ago, dk, I would have been feeling a little bit better last year.
Le'Veon Bell
He gonna be all right.
Joe Hayden
He gonna be all right.
Le'Veon Bell
No, no, no, no.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying. I believe in dk. I know that he wants to go out and go crazy again and with the suspension and all that stuff. He's a baller, and that's what he does is go hoop. So if he goes out there and be the DK Metcalf that I know and love, that we signed for the 30 mil a year that we were expecting to get. Beautiful Michael Pittman Jr. I loved him because big receiver and he's a non. You don't hear nothing about him. He's quiet. He not saying nothing. He's work pale. He's boots. He's coming to work every day to grind and get the job done. So when you have him on your team, a solid number two. And I heard about my man Pat McAfee. He was pissed that the cost lost him because, you know, he was pissed dropping the big F bombs.
Joe Hayden
Hey, hey. I want to say the F. I want to say, yeah, he went hard
James 'Debo' Harrison
because I'm like, he like this that we want to get. He wanted to give him the respect that people were signing out, dudes on the team being late to meet and some dudes just weren't doing. He's like, pimmy. You were never that guy. You're going to be there on time, you're going to work hard, dive through a wall for catch anytime, no matter what. So we need those dudes, we need those hardworking kind of guys are going to bring that. To bring that. That demeanor to the offensive side of the ball too. So I'm loving that vibes. I'm loving that he know receiver was a position that we needed. We're talking about it. Everybody keeps saying, oh, no, what about the draft?
Le'Veon Bell
Are you over?
James 'Debo' Harrison
No, no, no. So now we're making moves and doing things that we need to do. So guess what?
Joe Hayden
Thank you.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Clap it up for Omar, you know what I'm saying? If we wouldn't have gotten nobody and everybody's looking crazy.
Joe Hayden
No, hey, we can clap it up. We can clap it up for show. Listen, we went and got a big body and catch anything around him. He attacks the ball. He is a good route runner. And guess what? He also is a blocker, too. Now, with that being said, we still got the draft. We could still go get a burner.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Joe still got so much because all
Joe Hayden
them boys was burners. Joe, we still got that clap it up chat. Come on now. Let me listen. Stop playing with. He wasn't. He ain't. He wasn't done then. Joe.
James 'Debo' Harrison
It's not.
Le'Veon Bell
It's not.
James 'Debo' Harrison
It's not. He's not done.
Joe Hayden
Yo, he ain't done. He ain't done. Rico. We went on here and said, hey, man, we go get. We go. This, this. I like this one. I. I was trying. I was trying to. I was kind of. I was trying to think about this one. I wouldn't understand this one, but I. I sat back. Rico Dowley or what is it
Le'Veon Bell
okay.
Amber Grimes
Yes.
Joe Hayden
So we went and got him signed a two year 12.5 million. Okay, now, Joe, I. Like I said, I didn't understand it at first. So I'm sitting There. And I'm like, yo, like why are we signing this dude? I'm like, okay, we lost gain. Well, so yeah, yeah, we need to pick something up. But I'm like at that, you know, so I'm looking and I'm thinking and you know what? I said, okay, I see now he's familiar with McCarthy's offense. He was with him over there in Dallas in 24. Okay. This man got two back to back thousand yard seasons. You know what? I'm like, yo, what does this mean for Jalen Warren though, Joe? Like what do you think it means for Jalen Warren?
James 'Debo' Harrison
I don't think it mean nothing.
Joe Hayden
I don't think it mean nothing, Joe. This is what I think it means. We need two things. Listen, I think it means this. The Steelers are saying, here's my signal, we are going to run the ball. We're getting back to Steeler football. We're going to pound the ball. We got two guys that are down here, runners. They are very similar in running styles. One is almost 6 foot 220, the other one a little bowling ball about 5, 9, 2, 15. And he getting it to him, bro. We, Mike McCarthy is saying, we're going to dedicate this. We're going to run the ball. We're going to be dedicated to running the ball. He went out and got two of them that do the same. So it ain't going to be much of a difference when you switch them in and out.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I literally split between two, split in between two. Making sure Warren don't get too beat up. Rico don't get too beat up. They gonna be fresh when they get in there. They're coming off running downhill. I love the way Jalen Warren hits the hole so hard. The same way Rico hits the hole when he was playing for Carolina. So us being able to get him for the $6 million a year, these running backs, my man, what did Kenneth Walker, he just got like 15 something a year. He got 15 million a year. No disrespect, but us at Rico, that's toting that pill hard as he can for six. And that's eight million dollar difference I'm liking. I'm not saying he's a Kenneth Walker, but I'm saying when you get an established running back that's 2,000 yards back to back and you know what kind of guy you're getting downhill, no bull. And you got Jalen Warren, that's just, that's, that's, that's ripe. That's exactly what we need for the team. That energy that you got a blocking receiver, you got a crazy strong running back.
Joe Hayden
Yes.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I'm loving the moves. They're early. And it's not crazy. Brad, you're not just these dudes. No, we got Rico. Rico could have made eight. Rico could have had eight million. Eight million a year. But we went and got him for six, you know what I'm saying? Or Pittman, 29. Now let's go get him from the 19. Like what? These are great players at great deals that are coming to the team, trying to go win. They're happy that they got their bag. We're happy that we feel like we got over a little bit, but not over, but like we didn't have to overpay and we got balls.
Joe Hayden
They got a good deal, Great deal.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Everybody's out happy. Everybody's happy. You happy? I'm happy. We happy, you know, so I'm. I'm rocking with it. It's still early, too. There's still the draft to come. We got so many picks. We got so many picks.
Joe Hayden
We ain't even done yet. We ain't even done.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying right now. Right now. It's early. We just cooking. We just cooking. I'm loving the way Omar's cooking right now. And they're making moves that may not be the most explosive, but they're stills and they're good moves.
Joe Hayden
We just picked up the cornerback. Was it Jamel Dean? Three.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yes.
Joe Hayden
Deal. Three. Three year deal. After he was just in Tampa. They made that man take a 8.2 million dollar pay cut last year. Okay. I'm looking at it. I'm like, man, y' all made me take a pay cut. I had to. Look, I said, okay, maybe because he was a little. Little banged up, all that other stuff, but, bruh, this dude is 6:1 fast grease lightning fast. Joe 4:3. Joe 4:3.
James 'Debo' Harrison
He.
Joe Hayden
He's good man coverage, Joe. So even if you do maybe possibly get loose from, you're not about to get away from me. He's 4 3. Hey, Joe. Nephew, you got you a partner over there. You got your running mate, Cincinnati J. Hey, we locking it.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Don't be locking it.
Joe Hayden
Don't forget we got Ramsey still over here, too.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Yeah, we lying.
Joe Hayden
Hey, Joe. Listen. Joe Burrow. Listen, let me talk to you.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Oh, see, we should get back to the dog.
Joe Hayden
Listen, it's still. Ain't too late. We still got open arms over here. Joe, bro, we still got open arms over here. I want you to remember that, okay?
James 'Debo' Harrison
Hey, brother, I Hope that he knows we're dead serious, but I just hope we keep throwing it out there. He. I don't know if he. Wait just Joe Borough.
Le'Veon Bell
If you really.
James 'Debo' Harrison
If you can come to the Steelers for sure, that would be just the best thing ever.
Joe Hayden
Joe Burrow, then the super bowl or bust.
James 'Debo' Harrison
If we get Burrow, it's Super bowl or bust.
Joe Hayden
No question. Hey, listen, in the corner, Dean, we just hooked up. Hey, guess what? One touchdown allowed last year. That's it. That's what I'm saying. You know what? We got two corners that only allow one touchdown.
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's what I'm saying. That's straps. That's straps. Put Dean opposite of our man, young Peasy, they still have to worry out, figure out a way to get Peasy gonna get that bag, man.
Joe Hayden
They go get it to him, they
Le'Veon Bell
gotta get into it, man.
Joe Hayden
We, we getting. We getting good deals, man. We getting. We get everybody getting what they want. They happy with it, man. Listen, man, we getting good deals. And what was that? The year we gave. We gave to Asante Samuel for year four, for one year. And on top of that, you know, we got hul to a two year five. So right now we got every. I mean, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. We got every inside linebacker that we had in 2025 still under contract right now that we had from last year. So, I mean, and I think right now we can address again, like you said, we got the draft. We can address that inside backer that could do both hit the run and, and, and, and give me pass coverage too.
James 'Debo' Harrison
We gonna hit that. We gotta hit that backer. We gonna hit that line. We got backer o line backer o line receiver. Even though we still got a receiver but back of online receiver. Get that, get that. We got 12.
Joe Hayden
12, Joe.
James 'Debo' Harrison
We got 12, man. Come on, man, package them up, man. Make it something good. Making something great. Go get who you need. Just don't get 12 randos.
Joe Hayden
But, but, but one of those was the. I don't know if it was 214 and 216. One of those was the swap that we ended up doing with the Colts for Pittman. We got a swap.
James 'Debo' Harrison
So we still got 12.
Joe Hayden
I think we might have swapped down to like a 224 or something like that, but right there it ain't. You know what I'm saying? What are we talking about?
James 'Debo' Harrison
That's still good.
Joe Hayden
It's still good, bruh.
Le'Veon Bell
They did their thing right there.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I ain't gonna lie. The defense is coming apart because coming along, we got the one for four, Sante. You know what I'm saying? Chilling. And then we got another outside. I don't know if Sante plays slot, but if we got those three corners right there, Dean, we got.
Joe Hayden
Listen, don't forget now, he can. He can. Ramsey. He go safety or Ramsey doing.
James 'Debo' Harrison
The Rams is doing everything. Ramsey Swiss army knife. Ramsey's nickel. Ramsey's corner, Ramsey safety, Ramsey's whatever. You need him to be. Gang size.
Joe Hayden
You thought that wasn't gang signs, man? I was throwing up every signal that I could in baseball to tell you to still go, not reach. He doing it all. Swiss Army Knight throwing up autumn blades. 15, 20 blaze in that thing.
James 'Debo' Harrison
Hey, okay, okay, okay, okay. I wasn't hip. I wasn't hip.
Joe Hayden
Joe. Joe, we making moves over here. Joe.
James 'Debo' Harrison
I'm excited, man. That diva.
Joe Hayden
