Chapter 1: Who is Antonio Brown and why is he on the podcast?
UPS, Target, anything.
It's always good, man, when you can walk out on your own freedom and make the moves that you believe in. And life is already written for everyone. If you want to be a football player, you know. If you in high school, you got to pass the clearinghouse. You got to have the right grades for the SAT. It's a certain requirements that they lay out for what you got to be to be that.
In my life, you got to lay out what you want to be within yourself. And most of the time, you know, the most important thing is to be in tune with God. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, because I guess as a football player, the path is kind of there. It's like you got to do this.
Everything lined up for you. Right. In my life, you got to create your own life, man. You got to have the freedom and the balls to choose what you want. Football don't last forever. It's injuries. It's a lot of things that go into it. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, damn, y'all got them.
We got the honey pack. Y'all got them backwoods, huh? Yeah, I brought some Zyde. Yo, I know you. You can smoke it, man. I'll watch you. All right, bet.
I'll fucking watch you smoke that shit. This is like therapy. You know, as a black man, they always want to fuck me over.
Who does? Backwoods? How many's in there? They put five in there, huh? Yeah. Why, you think they shorten you? They always shorten us.
You got to have one on the bench.

Chapter 2: What is 'Cracker of the Day' and how did it start?
Oh yeah, handsome kid.
Yeah, he's pretty good. He got a good hairline on him. I know, Kid Swaggy. Yeah, I don't look at him too much. Where you from, Dale? You from New Orleans? I'm from outside of Louisiana. I'm outside of New Orleans. Trying to think if we had any pro athletes that came out of our area.
Yeah, one of my baby moms said they came from the same spot you in. Really? Yeah, you know I got a baby mom collection. How many? Oh, damn. How many you got? I think I got enough. It's in the backwoods. Maybe five. Oh, wow. You got a pack. You got a starter pack. Yeah. I woke up a sour patch. Where's my starter pack?
Somebody said you're not a real black father until you've had three kids. Is that true or not? Like in the black community, that's what I heard.
Nah, I think you ain't a black father until you get on child support. Because then you know, like... what it take to be a black father. I think my dad was on child support years and years. I think it's just like in a black community, I feel like the government is taking our woman. It's like, yo, if you grew up in an inner city community, you had a kid with a woman. It's like,
If you're going to go out of the way and try to make some of yourself, the government going to take your spouse because now they tell the spouse, yo, you're going to be in Section 8. You're going to get free food, food stamps. The government just took my mom. Now they took my mom. Now my dad can't even come back to the house. Why? Because if he comes back, then she loses the benefits. Exactly.
So it's like the government really just took your bitch. So as a black father, it's like, man, to experience that, you really, you know what I mean? To be a black dad in all seriousness. It's like really bad because you have a kid and you're trying to go out and make some of yourself. And these women, the government come in and take it right out because it's like, yo, it's hard to be a dad.
My dad had me when he was in college at Louisiana Tech. Oh, he went to Louisiana Tech? Yeah. I've been rusting, huh? Yeah, right around you. Right around you.
Was he playing ball up there or no?
