Buckle up, listeners, as we kick things off with a freestyle that'll get your nostalgia engines revving! We take a stroll down memory lane, hitting up the classic tracks of LL Cool J and New Edition that might just have you confessing your long-lost loves. It's a riot of laughs as we spar over who's got the darkest tan and draw laughable parallels to legends like Michael Jordan, all while trading some light-hearted gym jibes.

Then it's time to suit up in your throwback jerseys as we dish out tribute to the gridiron greats, from the silver screen's "Any Given Sunday" to the Arizona Cardinals' real-life MVP, Kurt Warner. Revel in the retelling of Warner's rise from grocery clerk to NFL legend, and tackle the conversation on how football gear and rules have evolved for the safety of the sport. Whether you're reminiscing about past glories or pondering the future of football, this huddle is the perfect blend of nostalgia and knowledge.

Lastly, we shift gears to the car culture of yore and the sneaker scenes that had us all in a frenzy. Remember when a Subaru was the ultimate safety statement and a pair of Jordans the ultimate status symbol? We're hitting the rewind button on those days, cruising past the car sound systems that boomed through our adolescence and the sneaker ads that sold us dreams. And before we park this ride, we navigate the tricky terrain of teacher-student relationships post-graduation—with a mix of candid insight and humor that only we can deliver. Join us for this joyride through the past, present, and the personal corners of our lives.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I know, huh, kurt Warner Him. And.

Speaker 4:

Larry Fitzgerald was the connection. Yeah, and Quan Bowden and Quan Bowden, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's when they caught. It was like lightning in a bottle. They was on fire for a little bit.

Speaker 3:

Kurt Warner had. I mean obviously he was a Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Rams.

Speaker 2:

Went to.

Speaker 3:

the Giants sat behind Eli Then came.

Speaker 4:

When did he come? Because he had retired. They said he was at home and they called him. Oh yeah, I think you're right. He said he was back in groceries.

Speaker 3:

He was about to retire.

Speaker 2:

No, that was before he retired.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no no, yeah, that was before he, because he played for the Iowa Barnstormers, yeah, the Indoor Football League or Arena Football League, and then I think he was-.

Speaker 2:

That's why I got that quick release, boy. You know you got to have that release in that Indoor Football.

Speaker 3:

That quick twitch. Yeah, I guess, since we on this football subject real quick what y'all think my brother was on one today about these damn helmets.

Speaker 4:

Oh man listen External pattern Dude.

Speaker 2:

You know what? Listen? We got to figure out man. We got to post that on IG. What are them? Things called Listen initially when I first saw them being. As I said numerous times on here, I'm an ex-football player.

Speaker 1:

Now I thought they had them things on their helmets meaning.

Speaker 2:

It meant like no contact. You know, most of the times, like back in the day, you throw on like a yellow jersey or a green jersey, so it signifies your participation Right, obviously you know you can't touch the quarterback, but you know I might have on a green shirt to wear. You know I can go full gold, but, don't you know, somebody might have a yellow shirt to wear. We just want him to kind of chill and just walk through everything. I can't even remember when the first time I saw them things.

Speaker 4:

I thought that shit was just things I saw them a couple years ago.

Speaker 2:

That's what I thought. Well, they were.

Speaker 3:

So they're called guardian caps. So they wear them for practice, just to kind of help protect themselves so that they can be prepared for the game.

Speaker 2:

So you can really really.

Speaker 3:

I guess they said so won't nobody's helmet pop off. Man, that thing don't snap off If someone hit it hard enough. That's what I thought I mean. It just goes over top of the helmet Right.

Speaker 2:

But I'm just saying, man, as fast as these dudes be sitting up here hitting, I mean, ain't nobody going to wear it, because one oh yeah, because they know they're about to get crucified, they put that on.

Speaker 4:

I could imagine someone coming on the field with that thing on man it's concussion protocol.

Speaker 3:

I got to wear it for two weeks.

Speaker 2:

Get that. Hey, that better be the only reason.

Speaker 3:

Now you covering up the team logo.

Speaker 4:

what they got to put it, they're going to come up Stocking cap over the top with the team logo on it.

Speaker 2:

Y'all seen them pictures I sent out, with them helmets I'm like man, listen, they're going to have people. Hey.

Speaker 3:

Don't put me out there, those weren't made for regular people.

Speaker 2:

That's listen. That's what it look like. That's exactly what those helmets look like. I was like man listen, Sissified, listen, Sissified.

Speaker 3:

Becoming sissified and.

Speaker 2:

Like Bink. No, listen, no, it has gotten the whole tackling thing. I, I.

Speaker 3:

I ain't even paid attention to that. I'm interested to see what happens.

Speaker 2:

They say you can't, you can't tackle.

Speaker 3:

You can't drag them down.

Speaker 4:

Can't hit them, yeah. Drag them down by the hips, yeah.

Speaker 3:

So, like you know how you come up and try to tackle someone from behind.

Speaker 2:

Oh and swing them around?

Speaker 3:

No, no, you can swing them, you just can't take your weight down with them. So that, how is?

Speaker 1:

it.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I think I know what you're saying Grab and sit on them.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, grab them and then sit on their ankles.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh, oh.

Speaker 3:

Okay okay.

Speaker 2:

Hip tackle.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so you can't do that, but that's going to be interesting. I mean, these guys have been tackling all these years.

Speaker 2:

Dude. That's what I don't understand, because Now you got to change everything. I remember the days where you laid on your back. You got up and hit.

Speaker 4:

They don't do that no more. Yeah, the bull ring.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you can't do bull in the ring, Bull ring. Oklahoma drill.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when you lay helmet to helmet or a few.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, flip over and go. You can't do that no more. Yeah, one guy got the ball, one guy get the tackle man. Tackle the ball, tackle the ball, make them fumble. That's what our coach used to say Make them fumble. Put your helmet on the ball.

Speaker 3:

Sissify. I mean I know players are bigger, faster, stronger, but still you got it. You play that sport, you know it's a physical sport. You get hurt.

Speaker 4:

That's part of the game Next man up. Next man up.

Speaker 2:

A wise man once told me you play football, you get hurt.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, Just like you ride motorcycles, you're going to fall. That's what the coach told me in my little training class. He said if you ride a motorcycle, it's not if you're going to fall, it's when you're going to fall when you're going to fall. You're going to fall. I've been doing this for 20 years. I've fallen a couple times.

Speaker 2:

It's like that, you know it's like that.

Speaker 4:

And it's not your fault. It doesn't have to be your fault. It could be the other person's fault, it could be a pedestrian's fault, it could be a bottle's fault, it could be a leaf's fault.

Speaker 1:

It could be anything.

Speaker 4:

It's not going to be you. I was just like, yeah, he right. I remember I rode through some leaves. You know how you ride through some leaves with a car and the leaves go like this so, I got on my motorcycle, it was like ice.

Speaker 2:

You got to be careful Even around like the my bike just spin.

Speaker 4:

I just got up. Hope nobody saw that. Damn, it'll be all right.

Speaker 3:

Keep going, yep.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, back on and kept going.

Speaker 4:

I was like okay, I learned my lesson.

Speaker 2:

If you turn in them corners, boy, you sitting up here looking at them little pebbles and them rocks. This is crazy when you're on your motorcycle.

Speaker 3:

I hope I don't slide out Right. You riding down the freeway or a street or something like that, you notice every little bump in the road, every little crack, every little pothole.

Speaker 4:

You're like God dang where all this come from. Is that an oil slick when?

Speaker 3:

are you from? Get away from it, get away from it. You see everything when you're on your motorcycle, in your car.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you just roll. You be like, if I hit it, I hit it.

Speaker 3:

You get on the freeway like I'll be all right. It's a big crack right there.

Speaker 4:

Make sure I can get over this thing real quick. I'm like dang, that's crazy. Yes, sir.

Speaker 3:

I think motorcycles make you a better driver, though.

Speaker 4:

I think so, because it makes you aware. It makes you more aware. You got to be aware of everything going on, not just driving in the next car going on, not just, you know, driving in the next car. No, you got to be aware of everything because it could be a chain reaction. It's coming your way. You got to be able to avoid it. That's true.

Speaker 2:

no, that's very, that's very true right there. You do have to pay attention and when you know you see you.

Speaker 3:

That's when you see the, the textures and yeah you see a little bit like in your car.

Speaker 4:

See the car drift over just a little bit, that's just enough to nudge me right there.

Speaker 3:

See if I haven't been paying attention. You don't realize how fast people be driving, until you're in your motorcycle too. Oh man people fly. Yeah, I'm going like 90, 95.

Speaker 2:

This car is flying man, Okay, bye.

Speaker 3:

I ain't racing, I'm flying. I know they flying. I'm going like motorcycle flying, not really like real fast, but just enough just to stay ahead of everybody. But hey, flying. I see the cars going by me going 100. Yeah.

Speaker 4:

Speaking of that, you know the cars with the eye sight. You got the eye sight on them and they had a test right. Subaru tested Subaru, tested number one, all the mother cars. You should have seen they had a guy Like a dummy.

Speaker 2:

You said Subaru Tested number one.

Speaker 4:

It was the safest, all the other ones. Subaru didn't stop For the motorcycle, but you should have seen, like the Chevy, the Volvo.

Speaker 4:

The motherfucking. So it made me think I was like oh shit, I gotta start watching my six, cause you should have seen the cars going. This was 30 miles per hour. Car was just going and it never stopped. Wow, boom Guy get flipped over. Boom, the dummy flip over the back of the car. Bloop, bloop, bloop. The bike split up in half, break up and just go bouncing everywhere. This is at 30 miles per hour.

Speaker 2:

So wait, is this a self-driving car? Because you said EyeSight?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, they had the EyeSight. They was testing the.

Speaker 2:

EyeSight on all these vehicles Right, right, Like the Ford the Chevy, the Subaru and. Subaru has the best EyeSight.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, subaru stopped for the motorcycle every time and they said I think it was like 80% of the time Subaru stopped, but the other ones 27% of the time they stop.

Speaker 1:

Subaru has the highest safety rating out of all the cars.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yep, subaru Forester. I was just like damn. So if you ain't got a Subaru behind you, you better watch your six.

Speaker 2:

I'm about to go get one. They ain't paying attention.

Speaker 3:

Well, it's collector's items, now right To make them collector's items you've got to control the market, you got to limit them. But at the same time, I'm sitting here Because there's only so many people you know who can get them the athletes, the stars and then there's a select few of rich people that can get them.

Speaker 2:

And that's regular folk that light sneakers.

Speaker 4:

You don't get to get them, unless you go to Korea, we'll have them made they be looking the same.
