Sean Febre 0:21

So this is my third, and where are you from, exactly?

Young Hub 0:24

Oh well, first off, let me introduce myself. I'm Young Hub, I'm from Tampa, florida, 813.

Sean Febre 0:31

All day, all day, Apparently not all day, because you're an Eagles fan.

Young Hub 0:35

Man listen.

Sean Febre 0:37

His team is better than yours.

Max Paul 0:40

Eagles aren't better than yours.

Sean Febre 0:42

Eagles ain't better than y'all, of course. How many times have the Eagles been to the Super Bowl?

Max Paul 0:46

They got two rings.

Sean Febre 0:48

How many do the Bucs have?

Max Paul 0:49

Two, and okay, this is the only part. They didn't have to go buy Tom Brady to get one hey watch yourself.

Young Hub 1:00

Just like how we were saying earlier how many times 638 wins is what the Eagles have, the Bucs have 318.

Sean Febre 1:05

Thank you, but the Eagles are an older franchise.

Max Paul 1:09

Valid.

Young Hub 1:09

Valid. They're one of the first right. Yeah, they're one of the first Okay.

Max Paul 1:14

Because, if you go by that standard, they have what was the old championship before? It was the NFL, it's the NFL, american football something AFL championship. Yeah, they've got those that don't count.

Sean Febre 1:26

Why I just go by the wins and I go by the Super Bowls. That's pretty much it. That's just me personally Now and if we're going to talk about who's better, who won the Super Bowl first, the Eagles or?

Young Hub 1:38

the Bucs, the Bucs Bucs right.

Sean Febre 1:39

That's right. So y'all been around longer. It took y'all way longer and we were 0-16. Think about that. We went from 0-16. Y'all 0-16?.

Young Hub 1:49

Yeah, like 72 or some shit man all right, nothing to talk about. Then If y'all went 0-16, what you mean?

Sean Febre 1:54

And we won a Super Bowl before the Eagles did.

Young Hub 2:03

Man 0-16, you which is an Eagles fan. Don't worry about it, but I am an Eagles fan.

Max Paul 2:07

Yes, sir.

Melodizing and Music Projects

Young Hub 2:08

Yes, I did drop my third studio. It's not my third studio album, but it's with the trilogy. So it's this thing called melodizing. I know it's not a word, don't quote me on it, it's okay. It makes sense in my head. It's just something that I own which is called melodizing. It's kind of like rapping and singing together.

Young Hub 2:26

Kind of like that Drake vibe, Kind of that older Drake vibe where it's a little rap, little singing Well like I said, I don't really like to judge myself, so whatever that y'all think, that's how I look at it.

Max Paul 2:38

When people say it's going to be a little rap, a little singing, I'm like, yeah, something like that.

Young Hub 2:43

So I think it's something like that. So again, I call it melodizing. I did part one, I did part two. Now I'm on part three and I think this is going to be the one man and I will say Soul Cry is my first single, so y'all just check that out. But thank y'all for having me on here.

Max Paul 2:59

Yes, sir, yes, yes, sir, yes sir. Happy hour, happy hour. I appreciate that Well, you know, because it's happy hour, all right. We're recording at 6 pm. I swear 6 pm. Well, it's 5 o'clock somewhere. I don't care about none of that. No, you did it.

Young Hub 3:13

But again, I appreciate y'all having me on here and real quick, can I get y'all teams?

Max Paul 3:19

No, no, no, I'm a Ravens fan. Ravens, ravens, go ahead.

Sean Febre 3:24

Born in Tampa. Well, not born in Tampa, but basically grew up in Tampa.

Young Hub 3:27

Yeah, I can't say nothing about that.

Sean Febre 3:29

You can't, you can't argue with that.

Young Hub 3:30

Yeah, you can, man Lamar. He from Florida, lamar Jackson's from here. Yeah, lamar Jackson's from Florida. Hold on, he's from South Florida.

Max Paul 3:45

Okay, florida, xavier Flowers, florida, like Shit, like you've got coaches from Florida.

Sean Febre 3:49

Yeah, yeah, that's true. Hey, do you know what all of them have in common? What? No Super Bowl ring. You know what they all have in common.

Max Paul 3:57

Outrun everybody on the Bucs team.

Sean Febre 3:59

Stone can't win though.

Young Hub 4:01

That's true.

Max Paul 4:01

Quick question they're in a much harder division too.

Young Hub 4:04

That is true.

Max Paul 4:05

The AFC North is a much harder division. What state is?

Young Hub 4:08

the best state in football.

Max Paul 4:10

Florida, texas. We already looked it up. It was Texas. I don't care what the stats say. Look it up, florida has the best athletes.

Sean Febre 4:16

What is that? It said that the most drafted players come out of.

Max Paul 4:20

Texas, then Florida, then Georgia. You got to think about alignment. Are we basing it on?

Young Hub 4:27

You said drafted to the NFL.

Max Paul 4:29

You're asking where the best players come from. If you're asking where the best, players come from.

Sean Febre 4:33

What about California?

Max Paul 4:36

It wasn't even on there, bro, I thought it was number five.

Sean Febre 4:39

It wasn't even on there In y'all opinion.

Young Hub 4:42

what do you think?

Max Paul 4:43

Florida breeds the best athletes. Why you say that? Because our training schedule is different.

Sean Febre 4:48

That is, but you called it. You said something different, also about why Texas is better. Texas has bigger athletes, they're pro-ready is what you call it. They're pro-ready, pro-ready.

Football Debates: Eagles vs Bucs

Max Paul 4:59

So, from a system standpoint, how they train coming up they're ready to go pro tomorrow. They know how to give the correct answers. They know how system-wise, how to make it work, the work ethic. So when you look at them, if I take a receiver from Texas and a receiver from Oklahoma, this guy from Texas he's ready to fall into this system with the film study.

Young Hub 5:23

He's probably like 6'2", 6'3".

Max Paul 5:24

Yeah, he's not going to be in big body. You know what I'm saying. Now, if I'm looking for the best athlete at that position, I'm looking at Florida athletes and it's not even close, you know.

Sean Febre 5:32

But it's a good question, because I didn't think about it this way. They might have gone to Texas to play, but they might be from Florida. So I'm wondering.

Young Hub 5:41

That's true, but I don't think it's like the majority of people. I think it's probably like a small minute of people in my opinion, but I'm just going to give a quick shout out. I think the best wide receiver that came from Florida Talk to me. First of all, I am a little biased. It is my brother, Travell Harris. He did make it to the league.

Max Paul 5:57

Okay, okay.

Young Hub 6:06

So I will give him that he's one of three percent. Yeah, he did make it. Um, he coached now for toledo. Okay, but um, he is the best rob c in florida. The other run, best running back I always think, too, was malik davis.

Sean Febre 6:13

That came from jesuit they both play at the same school yeah, that's my dog.

Young Hub 6:17

Um, who else? I'm trying to think who y'all got from, uh, flor.

Sean Febre 6:21

Well, hey, check this out, I just pulled it up. So people from the state, not actually. You know. Florida, yeah, has produced the most NFL draft picks, but not so. That's just if you were born in Florida.

Young Hub 6:36

Yeah, yeah, 300 players selected. Oh, okay, since 2015.

Max Paul 6:40

Yeah, yeah.

Young Hub 6:42

According to math. But, derrick Herring, though, I ain't gonna lie the boy different.

Max Paul 6:46

The boy different to me, I was saying that's a whole nother level, Derrick.

Sean Febre 6:48

Henry or Shaquan Shaquan's a whole, nother level Shaquan's a whole, nother Shaquan Shaquan's like 20 something.

Max Paul 6:52

Wait, what are we talking about? We just talking about NFL.

Young Hub 6:59

Yeah.

Max Paul 7:00

Y'all weren't on Shaquan's job like this when he was at the Giants, I see.

Young Hub 7:03

He's 28. Okay, he's 28. Derek's 31. I'll go, Derek. Yeah.

Sean Febre 7:07

Derek's the highest paid, running back over 30, right.

Max Paul 7:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah so.

Sean Febre 7:14

Yeah, but I mean Shaquan's reverse hurtling over people.

Max Paul 7:17

That's great. That's his game, derek Henry's, on running styles.

Sean Febre 7:26

If you do that, then you want to base it on stats? Yeah, because Saquon would be the better running back.

Young Hub 7:34

Oh, y'all going live with it. Yeah, absolutely Okay, we bring the facts. Yeah, because Saquon had the better stats.

Sean Febre 7:39

I got to ask Chad G what this year? Yeah. I got to ask Chad GVT yeah, he had the best touch this year. No, we're basing it on career, oh, career, oh then.

Max Paul 7:49

Derek Henry. Nah, I like Derek Henry. Derek Henry's going to win that one, because Saquon couldn't stay healthy.

Young Hub 7:53

Nah, derek Henry, a hundred percent.

Max Paul 7:55

Mm-hmm, I can say it. We even got to ask Chad GVT. A Shaquan couldn't get his life together in fucking New York. They were a one-trick show. Hand that bitch off.

Young Hub 8:07

Nah, it's too cold in New York.

Max Paul 8:10

I don't even know how he did that. New York ain't got no good football teams?

Young Hub 8:12

I really don't.

Sean Febre 8:13

Yeah, they do the Jets, man man.

Young Hub 8:16

Fuck man. Yeah the Jets, I don't even know they ass. The butt fumble team.

Sean Febre 8:21

Yeah, all right, so let's do it.

Max Paul 8:22

So, shaquan right here, uh-huh, go ahead, here you go.

Sean Febre 8:24

Three times to five times.

Max Paul 8:52

Yep Led the league in rushing, uh-oh 19th all-time in rushing yards. That's crazy right.

Sean Febre 9:00

But this is what Derrick Henry does not have.

Max Paul 9:03

That's cool Super Bowl, which is correct.

Sean Febre 9:05

That's great.

Max Paul 9:06

I'm not even going to argue that point he only has five receiving touchdowns. Why would he have a bunch of receiving touchdowns?

Sean Febre 9:13

Shaquan's got more receiving touchdowns.

Young Hub 9:14

Yeah, that is Derek.

Max Paul 9:15

Henry, yeah, let's look at the difference in systems.

Sean Febre 9:19

So let's see Career highlights Verdict Derek Henry has demonstrated, so career highlights Verdict Derrick.

Max Paul 9:24

Henry has demonstrated. They're going with Derrick Henry. You know why Name three times. Derrick Henry's been out for a season.

Sean Febre 9:31

I'll wait. I don't think he has that's crazy.

Max Paul 9:33

You know who has been out for a season. What Saquon you? Got injured yeah, he fucked up his knee or something like that. He had to sit a year. Yeah, yeah.

Sean Febre 9:47

Yeah, you know, they both have 2,000 yard seasons.

Max Paul 9:51

I'm not arguing that. You know what I mean. Yeah, I'm glad he got his flowers.

Young Hub 9:56

Nah, that's fast. But I was just going to ask did y'all ever play sports when y'all grew up, or no? I played soccer, you played soccer. Yeah, dead, serious. Yeah, you on hot. I'm Cuban bro. Oh, that's dope. I was saying you on hot.

Max Paul 10:08

Sean Febre 10:13

You playing ball.

Max Paul 10:15

You know I played a little football here and there. Did you, Did you?

Sean Febre 10:17

play in college or in an arena. Did you play For the Storm or something? I played for the Storm for a little bit, for real yeah.

Max Paul 10:23

I didn't make the lead, but I played.

Sean Febre 10:25

Arena for like six seven years.

Young Hub 10:26

No, no, no you did your thing.

Max Paul 10:27

Different states bounced around.

Young Hub 10:29

Hey, you did your thing. Got my little checks and got up out of there. Hey, no, you did your thing. At least you know what you enjoy it. I say Arena.

Max Paul 10:45

Loved it A labrino. Here's what I say.

Sean Febre 10:47

Slamming into the walls, man.

Max Paul 10:49

Okay, that part wasn't great, you know what I mean. Like there was nothing better than you catch somebody right by that wall and come up. What'd you play, linebacker? Uh-uh, I played corner. I was a DB. You was a DB. Yes, sir, what? That's what's up.

Young Hub 11:03

Yeah.

Max Paul 11:03

So like I looked at it, like this College and player ball, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like for you to touch a fan you'd have to get like jumping up to something. Or you had to go around to reach out to somebody With Arena. This the wall. I'm right here. Yeah, you right there. I used to trash talk fans mid-play.

Young Hub 11:25

Oh yeah.

Max Paul 11:26

When I was in Nebraska, I remember we'd get home, we'd have home games. Yeah, yeah, I'd be talking to one of the fans on the side. Hey, I'm going to jump this slant rope Bump that I'm going to smack the pitch out of this.

Max Paul 11:35

Nah, that's a fact. Watch, watch, watch. Give it a minute, slam, bow Hold. That I told you. I told you. I said anyway, bring him over here. So there's a video running around where I said all right, cool, watch, this Receiver lines up, I jam it and pin him to the wall where the fan was sitting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I told him I was going to bring him right there. Bow, here you go, this is what you wanted to see I got you Rob Markman, the man Rob.

Young Hub 11:57

Markman. The man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman, the man Rob Markman the man, rob Markman, the man, rob Markman, the man, rob Markman, the man.

Max Paul 12:14

Rob.

Young Hub 12:14

Markman, the man Rob, yeah, 6'3". You can't beat that, though you can't beat that, you can't beat that you can't beat that.

Max Paul 12:19

You can't beat that you can't beat that.

Sean Febre 12:21

You can't beat that you can't beat that.

Young Hub 12:23

You can't beat that. You can't beat that, you can't beat that.

Sean Febre 12:25

You can't beat that. You can't beat that.

Max Paul 12:27

You can't beat that. You would have still been a corner I still, would I promise Receiver man no, no. This is why I didn't like being a receiver. I didn't like Because you couldn't catch the ball.

Sean Febre 12:49

Well, no, I can catch it, I can catch it.

Max Paul 12:54

I didn't like. You can swat at it. No, no, I just didn't like the whole. I'm running a slant for me. If that bitch ain't off my first step, now you're running me into an outside backer, and now I got to catch it and fold up.

Sean Febre 13:09

But, as a corner, aren't you still at the QB's mercy Because you got to hope the QB throws to the receiver you're covering in order to make a play? No, no, no, no. I don't care what the ball is.

Max Paul 13:25

I can Right. Yeah, that's kind of true. It don't matter Like you got to look at it like this, because when you're a DB or even at the corner, you're always being watched on how you cover a route. Yeah, your technique, my thing is, if he not like and this is a big misconception If he not throwing at you, you know, you did your job. You know, your best DBs get thrown at Like they're going to have to throw at you, because usually you're guarding the number one receiver.

Sean Febre 13:42

Yeah, Like for me in arena.

Max Paul 13:44

Yeah, who's your best? That guy, all right, cool, hey, move, move, I got it, I got it how you deal with all the motions, though. Especially in arena. I'm only asking because you sitting right here, Bro that motion is tough.

Career in Arena Football

Young Hub 13:56

I want to say how you do it, because corner is the hardest position to play in.

Max Paul 14:00

You learn different techniques. My first game I was bailing. I was just trying to get up out of there.

Max Paul 14:04

So I didn't get beat, especially with the emotions, yeah. But now you got to kind of learn your patience and just keep your little distance. You know what I mean. You figure it out. You can kind of slow play a lot of things and then once you see them really trying to throw it, then you can just play the top end of the route. But it's 6'3". I'm disrespectful In every sport. 6'3", crazy 6'3". I'm going to basketball gyms randomly and dunking on people. I don't give a fuck who it is Ready Regular people, kids, children, slow kids, slow people I don't care.

Sean Febre 14:38

Because you dunk on Brittany Griner.

Max Paul 14:39

Young Hub 15:22

Clark, the biggest crybaby Listen, I fuck with everybody.

Sean Febre 15:26

The biggest crybaby. Oh, you must be talking about Angel Reese.

Max Paul 15:29

Max Paul 16:04

all right. Prime example Rob Markman Jr.

Young Hub 16:06

Especially a star, Rob Markman.

Max Paul 16:07

Jr. Like, if you're looking at like, when I went to Vegas for this flag tournament, the Aces were still gearing up for their season and whatnot. So when you go to their arena the sound guys or whatever kind of of fine-tuning things getting ready for the season, they'll have local artists that they play their music during warm-ups.

Sean Febre 16:28

Oh shit, you put me on man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Max Paul 16:31

Sometimes you want to reach out to those places because they might ask you like hey, give me an instrumental of what you got, yeah, and they'll play that during warm-ups, timeouts, shit like that. You know what?

Sean Febre 16:44

I mean, what would you say in Tampa is the equivalent to that? Finding something like that, what kind?

Young Hub 16:50

of arena.

Sean Febre 16:51

Are we talking? Are we talking?

Young Hub 16:52

baseball no you got Clearwater.

Sean Febre 16:57

The Yankees, the Yankee shit when they do the spring training, clearwater Threshers. That's what I was thinking about.

Young Hub 17:05

You can do a Clearwater Thrasher's you can do.

Max Paul 17:06

What's the sock? The Rowdy's, the Tampa.

Sean Febre 17:08

Bay Rowdy's. Tampa Bay Rowdy's. Yeah, you can run with them.

Young Hub 17:11

Sean Febre 17:26

I know they play a little something.

Max Paul 17:27

You got it. Look, I got a price. Hey, hey.

Sean Febre 17:30

What's the?

Max Paul 17:30

price. It depends on how often you want that bitch played Like just for tonight. Yeah, that's a hundo. Oh yeah, I got to play Bad Bunny. I got to play Cardi.

Young Hub 17:49

B I got to do Then you got to figure out how to mix it in.

Sean Febre 17:51

Yeah, and I got to figure out how to blend shit, you just give it to the DJ and tell him to do it.

Max Paul 17:55

Who, If it's a request that you gave to me, oh damn yeah, because you know I got to jump on the board and do what I do. Nah, fam, I can do that. That part's easy. Like I ain't going to hold you, I'm cheating, I'm using the reverb and then just dropping in the next song Like I'm not scratching into shit, but I can. Next we're rolling, Rolling it on. Nah, bro, like real talk.

Max Paul 18:26

There's some avenues to drop new music, I think, especially with social media being as big as it is, it's easy to reach out to these places, prime example. What do you think about just showing up? Oh, that's a good one too.

Sean Febre 18:35

It's hard to say no to a face.

Max Paul 18:37

If I get a text or an email from somebody.

Young Hub 18:39

I can be like you can just excuse it off.

Max Paul 18:43

But I had a guy. This is some years ago. You can just excuse it off, all right, fuck that. But I had a guy. Oh, this is some years ago. I was working at Prana down in Ybor and this guy I was just doing security but this dude was relentless Dude would show up. We're open Thursday, friday, saturday, sunday. At the time this man was there Thursday Friday.

Young Hub 19:05

Saturday, sunday. He wasn't playing, bro, he wasn't playing. I don't know why doors opened at 10.

Max Paul 19:09

Was the shit, good though that's?

Young Hub 19:10

Max Paul 19:12

It was solid.

Young Hub 19:13

Because if they keep saying no. No no.

Max Paul 19:15

It was solid. It was just like he would ask management.

Young Hub 19:20

Hey, I told him hey, bro, yeah just directly, Don't talk to them yeah come directly, go straight to a DJ. Yeah.

Max Paul 19:25

Go straight to a DJ, because the manager's always going to say no, because he don't want to hear something like that yeah, somebody amusing and shit.

Sean Febre 19:33

But if you go talk I said, come later, yeah.

Max Paul 19:35

We've got five floors. Go talk to each fucking DJ and just tap in with them. One of them will play it, you know.

Sean Febre 19:42

DJ Chris Sean. Yeah, good dude, I talk to him about that all the time. I'm like yo dog, so would you get upset or not upset, but irritated that people kept asking you to play their songs. He was like yo, you know what? At the end of the night, when the club is closing down, I would take anything as long as they pay me, I would take anything.

Max Paul 20:03

People like dude.

Sean Febre 20:05

Yeah yeah, Bro he said that people were coming up to him with a CD. This is back in, you know early 2000s CD. Hey, play it, play it, play it, play it. He would say no, all the way up until like 2.30 am.

Max Paul 20:17

And then play it, Because by 2.30, you've. It's the last thing they heard before they left and they're going to try to go find it. So, like bro, I'm telling you Rob Markman Jr.

Young Hub 20:36

So I got a quick question. Talk to me, Rob Markman Jr, Because y'all it'll sound like y'all been in this a little bit longer than me.

Sean Febre 20:43

We're older than you. That's why Rob Markman Jr Nah, it's all cool.

Young Hub 20:52

He's like you know, I got my own thing going on, but actually on the same flip side, all my followers and all mine are asking for advice or whatnot. So it sounds like you guys know a little bit about music or whatnot. So I've been in this music thing for a little minute, but I think now I'm at a pace where it's like my music hitting Okay. So now that I got the tape going on which is Melodizing 3, what should I be doing now with a promo and stuff like that, now that I got it out?

Sean Febre 21:20

I think what you're doing right now, being on a podcast, is a good idea. Try to find all the podcasts.

Young Hub 21:24

Happy hour, you did, yeah, happy hour. Holiday, you did Holiday.

Sean Febre 21:27

But go on all the podcasts you can find man and usually probably more music oriented, Like he said, because I didn't even think about this going to sports teams and having them try to play your music during pregame warmups.

Young Hub 21:40

Yeah, I didn't think about that.

Sean Febre 21:42

And also it's on DatPiff, right. I mean that's huge.

Young Hub 21:46

Does DatPiff?

Sean Febre 21:48

allow you to promote your.

Young Hub 21:51

Yeah, yeah, they'll give you little options.

Sean Febre 21:52

Spend money on promotions, bro.

Young Hub 21:54

That's my thing, that's the one thing I tell artists all the time Spend the money.

Max Paul 22:00

Promote that but pick your best Put a video with it, especially for Instagram. Put a solid video that's going to catch the viewer's attention. Get a bad bitch on there Mandatory. I know a couple.

Young Hub 22:14

I keep couple.

Max Paul 22:14

I keep man he ain't alone. No, no, I agree. No I agree Because you know it's attention.

Sean Febre 22:19

Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I want to see titties. They don't want to just see a mighty goddamn face on the floor.

Young Hub 22:25

Yeah, I get it.

Max Paul 22:26

Go, click that right here and then, if you make it, if it becomes a trending audio like have your friends, your people, near you if they're putting any video together doesn't matter what it is. Tell them to use your audio on like Instagram and TikTok, and TikTok because it'll make the audio clip trending and then, once it starts trending, now you're jumping into other networks and other people can piggyback that. Nah, that's not true?

Sean Febre 22:52

And now your music's out there, bro, and that shit's popping off. Yeah, because I mean, once Instagram and TikTok get a hold of it, yeah.

Max Paul 22:59

Nuclear. Hey, yeah, nuclear, get ready. Nah, that's not true. There's a lot going on, man.

Max Paul 24:03

So, AJ, you asked us if we play sports.

Sean Febre 24:05

I'm just wondering did you play sports?

Young Hub 24:08

So the question of that is yes, I did, I played football. What position?

Sean Febre 24:14

Actually, let me guess Go ahead Right tackle no.

Max Paul 24:18

I'm kidding.

Young Hub 24:20

No, no, running back, running back.

Max Paul 24:21

You were a receiver.

Young Hub 24:22

Running back? No, no Safety, no Linebacker, no Corner.

Sean Febre 24:28

Kicker. Oh yes, sir Corner. Yes sir, that's what I knew you were talking about. Yeah.

Young Hub 24:34

Now I play at corner. But see, the thing is in my opinion, you play in high school. Yeah, I play in high school. I played at Chamberlain.

Max Paul 24:40

Okay, okay, yeah, I played at Chamberlain. Where did you graduate?

Young Hub 24:43

2010,. I had to think about it. That's how I know Okay, okay, okay, but no 2010.

Sean Febre 24:48

When did you graduate? Played each other.

Max Paul 24:50

Nah, he'd have been. You graduated in 06, so He'd have been in 8th grade.

Young Hub 24:55

I'm trying to think 06.

Sean Febre 24:58

That's four years. No, he would have been a freshman, I would have been a freshman in Chamberlain who you play with.

Max Paul 25:04

I wasn't at Chamberlain, I was at a private school. I was over there in the cuts.

Young Hub 25:07

What private school CDS? No, fuck, no, oh no, not, cds Not.

Max Paul 25:12

CDS.

Sean Febre 25:12

I was a.

Max Paul 25:13

Tampa Baptist back in the day. Oh yeah, right here off Sly and Central, this camp is still over there. Oh no, I ain't heard about that. No, no, I played cornerback.

Young Hub 25:23

But in my opinion, you know, I was decent. What did you think about Sickles?

Sean Febre 25:28

It was all right, I ain't really think nothing about it. Y'all played against Sickles, right, yeah, but we still. Sickles was trash, bro. You know what I'm saying.

Max Paul 25:35

Sickles wasn't nobody special. Yeah, I want to say Sickles wasn't like. Sickles was one of them teams you just kind of looked at and went all right, yeah, yeah, we just played them, we played them. Because I went to Sickles. Ah, that's why.

Sean Febre 25:54

And Chamberlain off. So we was good. The first three years Y'all would have played each other. I think.

Young Hub 25:56

Yeah, I think we played each other, because Chamberlain was right there off Bush. Yeah, it was sickles, though it was just another team.

Sean Febre 25:58

Yeah, it was just another team.

Max Paul 25:59

With nobody to worry about.

Young Hub 26:00

Nah, it was just sickles, but nah, we was good. You know, we went to playoffs the first three years of my high school. Yeah, stadium.

Max Paul 26:10

Yeah.

Young Hub 26:11

And then I went through the like, literally that whole BS man.

Max Paul 26:14

Like that, switched the coaches. It was a 2010.

Young Hub 26:17

So yeah, y'all had like yeah, man, that was horrible, was it two coaches in?

Max Paul 26:20

the whole during the whole year. Yep, yeah, I remember. Oh, so you knew.

Young Hub 26:29

I heard about it. Yeah, yeah, I players. And the next thing you know, I think Wilder went to plant.

Max Paul 26:33

Yeah, my cousin, he plays for the best. He's coaching over there now. Oh yeah, I heard yeah he came back to give back and he's coaching over there.

Young Hub 26:41

I heard yeah, that's my dog man. We all went to high school and stuff together like that. But yeah, after they got rid of Coach Turner man. I still stayed tried to honorary team of but man, we was trash. What do you think about that name change?

Sean Febre 26:58

What as far as what? No longer the Chamberlain Chiefs.

Young Hub 27:00

Oh, you talking about. What do you call them now?

Max Paul 27:04

Fuck Shit that's how.

Young Hub 27:05

You don't even know.

Max Paul 27:06

Because they're still the Chiefs in my head. Yeah, they're still the Chiefs in my head, but they're not though.

Young Hub 27:10

No, they're not. I forgot what they call them. They're the Chiefs.

Max Paul 27:13

They call them something Anyway.

Sean Febre 27:15

Nah, man, you can't change that.

Young Hub 27:16

I mess with Chamberlain man. I love that stadium man, especially that big old stadium playing the Friday nights.

Max Paul 27:21

What's crazy is, the reason I knew about Chamberlain is because the private school I went to we didn't have our own football field.

Young Hub 27:28

Oh.

Max Paul 27:28

Storm. Yeah all right. Oh yeah, All right.

Sean Febre 27:31

That's what they're called. They're called the Storm. They're the Chamberlain Chiefs.

Young Hub 27:33

They're the Chamberlain Storm, oh Storm. That's what it was Cool. They're the.

Max Paul 27:37

Chamberlain Chiefs in my head, yeah it's still there.

Young Hub 27:39

Yeah, it's still the Chiefs. I don't know.

Max Paul 27:41

But, like the high school, I went to do that. Oh, you had cheese, yeah, had that butter. But we didn't have our own football field, so we actually our home games were at Chamberlain High School. For real, what days. So we had to schedule our games to when Chamberlain was away.

Sean Febre 28:06

Who the hell were you playing? If you're not playing Hillsborough County schools, right, we were playing Hillsborough County schools.

Max Paul 28:14

Who y'all played, but we played Hillsborough County Private Schools so, for example, cdc CDC wasn't relevant at that point, this 2006.

Young Hub 28:18

They weren't. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sean Febre 28:19

Yeah they weren't so like Tampa Bay Tech.

Max Paul 28:22

No, that's not a private school.

Young Hub 28:23

That's not a private school.

Sean Febre 28:23

That's not a private school.

Young Hub 28:28

So we played like Bayshore Christian it's we had at the time.

Max Paul 28:31

But you're not playing like. You're playing like small other shitty small private schools.

Sean Febre 28:36

Did you play against CDS?

Max Paul 28:37

CDS wasn't. They didn't have a football team yet oh shit. Yeah, they weren't. You know what CDS was?

Sean Febre 28:43

Carol Day School.

Max Paul 28:44

Yeah, carol Day School. You know what they were? No, a magnet school, but just school at the time. So, for example, when Steve Garcia was like yeah, we're training at CDS, what, yeah the fuck, what do they have there?

Sean Febre 29:03

Do you know now what that shit looks like?

Max Paul 29:04

It's insane, it's fucking insane.

Sean Febre 29:06

Turf field is beautiful. That's nice Was y'all in high school. We were decent.

Max Paul 29:11

We were like a 500 team. It wasn't anything crazy.

Young Hub 29:15

What you got Scholarship right. This is CES. No, I did not. I had to earn it. Nah, that's what's up.

Max Paul 29:23

Oh my God, I know All right, cool, so they had this now Back then. This was all. This looked like this right.

Young Hub 29:32

Oh yeah, I see what you right.

Max Paul 29:33

This was about half the size, Like that's what I'm saying. Like when I saw it bro it blew up, it got the right investors.

Sean Febre 29:42

the right people are going to kick back the right students with the right parents. Hey, look, first off, we don't Cut that check. Cut that check.

Max Paul 29:51

I'm not going to accuse CDS of having booster programs or question their funding but Well, kids, there are getting NIL deals now, right? Immediately getting NIL deals and out of nowhere they have a $100,000 plus price field. Golly, out of nowhere. You think it's out of nowhere.

Sean Febre 30:13

I don't know where this money comes from Somebody make a good investment, I wonder how much it costs to go there.

Max Paul 30:19

I don't think it's a crazy number.

Young Hub 30:21

People got scholarships and stuff.

Max Paul 30:24

For private schools there's small scholarships and stuff like that. That'll clear it. I know for the school I was at you had to have X amount of kids on scholarship for those programs to kick back money to your school.

Young Hub 30:37

So as far as let's say, you know, everybody got kids or something. What school?

Sean Febre 30:42

would you recommend $17,000 a year for elementary and then, once you get into middle and high school, $27,000.

Young Hub 30:52

Dang. What school would you recommend that's private here in Tampa or in the area?

Max Paul 30:57

Who CDS that one?

Sean Febre 31:00

No, I would go For what? For football or for education? You say football, I would say football.

Max Paul 31:04

Oh for football I would say Jesuit. But if you're talking about just for a student in general to get an overall great experience, I would say Berkeley Prep.

Young Hub 31:12

Berkeley Prep, berkeley Prep, I heard it.

Max Paul 31:14

I would say Berkeley Prep, but for football, not Armoy. No, no, no, I'm saying it, I already said it. No, I said private, private school and I take sports out of it. I'm saying I would say Berkeley Prep. I didn't know they were private Berkeley Prep.

Sean Febre 31:29

Prep. I always went to public school, so yeah yeah, I always went to public school.

Young Hub 31:32

Yeah, me too that's cool.

Max Paul 31:33

That's why I bet your SAT score is trash, don't worry about it 1440, bro. Oh, 1440? On a 1600 scale.

Sean Febre 31:41

Yeah, yeah, I graduated with a 4.7 GPA. My IQ is 135.

Young Hub 31:49

Fucking read it. I graduated with a 3.2. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't that good 3-2. You know what I'm saying?

Max Paul 31:52

It wasn't that good he got me through.

Young Hub 31:53

He got me through.

Max Paul 31:53

Hey, look, look, I did enough to get in there.

Young Hub 31:55

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right.

Sean Febre 31:57

Hey, he said his, I said mine. What's your GPA, dog 3-8. What is it?

Young Hub 32:00

3-8. Oh, you had a 3-8?, 3-8? Kent during the day, baby. Well, at least we all smart, at least nobody didn't say nothing. Don't get me wrong.

Max Paul 32:17

That 3-8 happened on the back end. You went to a private school. I don't know about that man.

Young Hub 32:22

I expect that than that. It's public kind of hard.

Sean Febre 32:26

Because the teachers aren't good, it's more. I can say this they don't give a fuck about you.

Max Paul 32:34

I can say this To my public school counterparts I was doing college essays as a freshman.

Young Hub 32:43

Okay, you see what I'm saying. I see what you're saying. I'm not impressed, I'm sorry.

Sean Febre 32:47

For me.

Max Paul 32:47

I walked into college ready.

Sean Febre 32:49

Yeah because you already knew what time it was. I already knew what it was. They prepped you for college, so you weren't taking college classes.

Max Paul 32:56

By my freshman year, no, my sophomore year.

Sean Febre 32:59

Yeah, damn, I started taking it in junior year.

Max Paul 33:01

Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Damn, that's what's up.

Sean Febre 33:04

I did the same shit. Yeah, but for me playing sports. Being in a small private school, you're playing every sport, see and I can respect that, because you have to play a sport and also go to school.

Young Hub 33:16

Rob Markman. Oh, you have to Rob.

Max Paul 33:17

Markman.

Young Hub 33:17

Yeah, rob Markman. Oh, I didn't know Rob.

Max Paul 33:18

Markman. I don't know if you have to Rob Markman, you don't have to Rob Markman, but what I'm saying is that he's playing a sport and doing that.

Young Hub 33:31

I mean, I was to pay for your own shit. I'm like okay.

Sean Febre 33:37

I worked at that McDonald's right there off north.

They don't have a lot of students, right, yeah so your students are limited and you're limited on black athletes. Yeah, so every coach goes hey, hey, hey, hey.

Young Hub 36:32

I could hey look, so here's what we'll do. Here's what we'll do when the Bucks training camp opened up.

Sean Febre 39:31

Yeah, I thought it's our minicamp song. Minicamp I'm talking about regular training camp.

Max Paul 39:40

Yeah, they have that Mm-hmm. You tried out there. Yeah, did you do it? I've done it every year. Yeah, oh, you did it, I've done it every year.

Young Hub 39:49

And what was the last year?

Max Paul 39:51

Last year's 40 time I ran was a 4.7.

Young Hub 39:55

Oh damn, bro, and I'm a 7.4. I was going to say that was crazy what you said 4.7. 4.7.

Max Paul 40:07

I mean you know I'm still running around with the flag. I'm still oh, so you play flag too. 230 pounds, it's hard to move this weight, what you mean.

Young Hub 40:10

I'm 210. But you 6'3". That's crazy, though. 6'3".

Max Paul 40:12

Yeah, 6'3", that stride should be, something different, hold on.

Sean Febre 40:15

What's the dude? That was 460 pounds. That got drafted by the Bucs.

Max Paul 40:20

Oh yeah.

Sean Febre 40:23

He ran a 4.9.

Max Paul 40:25

Yeah, yeah.

Sean Febre 40:26

And I'm running a 7.4. Yeah, I don't think you should say that Peak athlete 7.4. What I meant to say a 4.7.

Max Paul 40:35

He got dyslexic, he got to sit backwards, I got to back up. Nah, he never rode that.

Sean Febre 40:39

I mean he was cool. I did trip in the beginning, though. He definitely stumbled, Like I almost ran into, we'll cut it down I almost went head first into Trevor's truck, bro, and he said he ran on asphalt.

Young Hub 40:51

Yeah, oh, yeah, for sure. Nah, I couldn't. Nah, you had to catch me on the grass and no cleats, I'm already old.

Max Paul 40:59

I might you know what I'm saying. Yeah, he ain't stretching into it. I knew it. Oh dude, I knew it.

Sean Febre 41:03

I was walking back with my hand on my hamstring bro.

Young Hub 41:07

Or not. My hamstring on my quad.

Max Paul 41:09

I was like fuck.

Sean Febre 41:13

I had to stand there for maybe two minutes just holding it, because that shit.

Max Paul 41:16

I thought I Max you going to run it. No, no, I don't run 40s for free.

Young Hub 41:22

Well, actually you do at the Bucks minicamps, hey man, I didn't think about that, I didn't start doing.

Max Paul 41:27

X-Files Still not for free. I worked out for the Bucks before.

Young Hub 41:30

Oh, for real Mm-hmm. Oh, just trying, not Mm-hmm, they open it every year, don't they?

Sean Febre 41:35

Yeah, yeah, I think so you got to run that 40.

Young Hub 41:37

You got to do the jump.

Max Paul 41:39

You got to my vertical.

Young Hub 41:42

Like 36. I wonder if I could beat that. I think I could beat that, though I ain't going to lie. I'd try that Because when I was younger I think I did like 34, but I was young.

Sean Febre 41:52

Young, young, how tall are you?

Young Hub 41:54

Oh, like 5'11" 5'11".

Sean Febre 41:56

Yeah, db height. Db height yeah.

Max Paul 41:59

You said you're what 5'11".

Sean Febre 42:05

Clee height.

Max Paul 42:05

Clee height.

Young Hub 42:07

High school they give you that.

Max Paul 42:09

They give you a little extra. I was six foot on paper. You know what I'm saying. When I was playing in the arena they had me listed at 5'11".

Young Hub 42:15

Oh, for real.

Max Paul 42:16

Every time.

Young Hub 42:17

Oh damn.

Sean Febre 42:18

Why did they do that?

Max Paul 42:20

It's just To throw off the other Coaches and stuff like that.

Young Hub 42:22

You must have been real good, though, man. You made this arena though. Not a lot of people can make it, bro. There's a lot of people good out here.

Max Paul 42:28

But I think it was just timing.

Young Hub 42:29

The corners started in the arena.

Running 40-Yard Dash Stories

Max Paul 42:31

Timing opportunity, like I'm not going to hold you, like I wasn't going to go, like for me I was not going to go. I really was talking to a coach and I sent this coach, like two or three other guys, film, yeah, and it just didn't work out. Like they just, you know, they didn't want to be in the Midwest or whatever Case may be and you know, coach Anthony reached out and said hey man, you keep talking to me. All these guys like why don't you just come out? I want you to come play. I was like I mean, he had already sent over a contract.

Sean Febre 43:03

What was the contract for, huh. What was like the numbers on it?

Max Paul 43:06

Huh, I mean, if you don't, want to talk about it, that's fine. I'll say this I'm just asking.

Sean Febre 43:11

I'll say this Did they have incentives in your contract?

Max Paul 43:15

Originally no, like interceptions. Yeah, that's a good question. Originally he sends over like a base contract that he would send anybody else but for that year?

Young Hub 43:26

What year?

Max Paul 43:26

was this 2017.

Young Hub 43:28

2017. Boy, you played for a good amount of time. I remember my last day playing football. Man, that joint was crazy. I remember I tried out. I went to Bethune. I went to Bethune and played.

Max Paul 43:41

The two-hour base contract yeah.

Young Hub 43:44

I went to Bethune. I know, I know they ain't showing it, I know.

Max Paul 43:47

I know they ain't going to show it to you, I know they're not, nah, they ain't going to show the contract.

Young Hub 43:51

They're not going to show you how much you make, nah.

Max Paul 43:53

They're not going to show it to you on Google. Yeah, they are.

Sean Febre 43:57

All right, here we go. Well, there it is.

Young Hub 44:01

Best contract AFL.

Sean Febre 44:01

Was it close or what?

Young Hub 44:02

Back then it was probably cheaper than that.

Max Paul 44:04

Hey, look nah.

Young Hub 44:06

That's about right.

Max Paul 44:07

That's about right.

Sean Febre 44:08

It's not right, but you playing, but it's close.

Max Paul 44:11

It's pretty close. For the base contract they sent me. It was pretty close to that, on the low end, but my agent at the time had reached out and sent an incentive pack back to them. Said we'll take this, but it comes with this, yeah, and y'all are responsible for paying this Paying what the incentive?

Sean Febre 44:33

He sent an incentive contract. Oh, okay, like hey, we'll take this if Solo tackles assists.

Max Paul 44:39

Yes, yeah, so like PBs, interceptions, interceptions, pick sixes, yeah, but because you're playing both ways.

Sean Febre 44:46

Well, yeah, because you were also a receiver, yeah, so touchdowns Touchdowns Overall touchdowns Yardages Yardage per game, so like maybe 100 yards receiving.

Max Paul 44:56

Yeah, but mine was. What was it?

Sean Febre 44:58

Like 60 yards.

Max Paul 44:59

Yeah, but mine was heavy loaded on the defensive side defensive side oh because of the defense? Yeah, because I'm more of a defensive guy. I play offense as need be, like you know what I mean. Like we had guys who really just focused on offense, like my buddy Dallin. He could play both ways. He was doing like kickoff, but he wasn't playing defense with us. You know what I mean. So you were more of like a decoy on offense who? No, I need that.

Young Hub 45:23

I'm not running this for free how you felt when you had to put up the cleats, though when you knew you had to put them up.

Max Paul 45:28

When my daughter got a little older.

Young Hub 45:30

When my daughter got older, how you felt, though, it wasn't that bad.

Max Paul 45:41

It wasn't that bad for me because I understood missing out on time with her wasn't worth me being out there like that.

Young Hub 45:44

I remember I had to hang it up too Back at Bethune. Remember I had to hang it up too Shoot, I'm just trying Back at Bethune. I had to either walk on, but they had to tell me I could choose to, you know, stay in the dorm and, you know, pay for the dorm fees and whatnot, or I could just, you know, just live on my own. So I had to choose that, which was just get my apartment live alone, hang up the cleats, and I was just like damn.

Sean Febre 46:06

But at the same time so Bethune.

Young Hub 46:08

Yeah, Bethune cut me out there in Daytona Beach, so you were playing in college too. Yeah, yeah, I tried to play, but I didn't. I had to stop because I ain't had no scholarship, so I had to either, you know, take out loans and stay on campus, or I had to work it out.

Max Paul 46:23

Guys, I'm filming. Guys, guys, stop calling me, I'm filming, ain't nothing wrong with that.

Young Hub 46:29

You got to keep it for the fam, though my daughter actually was calling.

Sean Febre 46:33

She's on the phone first. Yeah, it don't matter, she knows how to use a phone already. Yeah, she's on an iPad.

Max Paul 46:41

I got me my mom. I was like she's got my mom's iPad, mine and her mom in a group chat on Facebook, so she'll use that to video chat her mom. But she don't understand that it's her calling all three of us and not just her calling her mom, so that's all it is.

Young Hub 46:57

I always say never give little kids a phone number because they're going to blow you my daughter will call me at the littlest things my nieces do the same thing. There it is my daughter will call me at the littlest things.

Max Paul 47:07

You know what I mean Never, never. So it is what it is. My nieces do the same thing. There it is, there it is, hey.

Sean Febre 47:10

So AJ, we're going to wrap up the show here. Is there anything that you want to plug? Is there anything that you want to shout out? Maybe some tips of advice for, say, people that want to make it in the music industry or even in sports, because, say, people that want to make it in the music industry or even even in sports, because I know that's basically what we were talking about the entire time.

Hanging Up the Cleats

Young Hub 47:30
