 We're joined by another NFL star, Pro Bowl running back from the New Orleans Saints. Everybody give a warm welcome to Alvin, Camara, Alvin. Thanks for joining us, my man. No doubt, thanks for having me. Yeah, Alvin, I want to get this out of the way first. You and I were on Sports Center together a few years ago and I don't think I asked you on camera. If you watch a game broadcast, the entire game back and forth in the booth, your name is pronounced two totally different ways. Camara and Tamara. So from you, how do you pronounce your name? Well, I say Camara. I think I tell everybody it's like it's just how the A comes off your tongue. I say Camara. Some people say Camara. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. However you say. So you prefer Camara? I say yeah, that's what I say. My mom says Camara though. So I don't know. I don't know if I'm right or my mom right. I was about to say let the record show and then you threw that wrench in there. Yeah, okay. I'm going to roll with you, Alvin. All right. How are you doing in quarantine? What's life like for you these days? Good. I mean, it's definitely a little different, but just try to keep it as normal as I can considering the circumstances. But everything's good. Just trying to stay safe, trying to stay avoid obviously the pandemic that's going on. Right. So most importantly, everybody in your house safe, everybody healthy. You've been okay? Thankfully, you know, well, and everybody's been good. My sister, brother, everybody, you know, my whole family, they're safe. Man, it's just clear of the virus. So that's definitely a blessing. Yeah, God bless. Thank God. Hey, man, I know you just got to Houston. I don't know if you know this, but you got a season to get ready for. So tell me what you've been up to. What's your workout look like for these days? I've been my workout been normal. I'm not going to tell you how I've been, you know, being able to get it in, but I've been getting my workouts in, you know, regular scheduled programs. So it's been, it's been fine. You know, I've been, I've been, you know, doing what I had to do to get ready. So whenever we, you know, whenever it is that we do have to go back, I'll be ready. All right. So take us, I mean, everybody at home is like, what does that look like? Definitely doesn't look like what I'm doing. Give us like a quick overview of like what you do on a typical day for your workout. All right. So I wake up before 15. Um, yeah. So I wake up before 15, have like a little juice or snack or something. Okay. Get to the weight room around like four or 45 workout from like that time to about like six. So, you know, I mean, regular, I mean, not regular, but Olympic squad, Olympic, Olympic lifts, squad, deadlift bench press, you know, the regular go back home, you know, get home around like 6, 30, 6, 40, um, have a protein shake, probably, yeah, have a protein shake, then take like a little, like an hour to kind of just be compressed for my workout. Might fall asleep for a second. Take like an hour. So, you know, get back, get back, moving around eight o'clock and, and then go get with my second trainer. And that's when I go through all the, all the, you know, all the balanced workouts and all that stuff that everybody's been seeing. So it's so crazy. Yeah. So from about 830, 845 to about maybe like 12 o'clock, 1230, that's what I'm doing. And then I'm done for the day. I'm good. Anything else? Massages or just taking care of my body. That's what I'm doing. It's kind of like my day. I mean, I usually get a third workout in. I'm usually up at like 413, but you know, I'm saying that's pretty good still. I'm playing, um, you know what though? I've been seeing you in your basement. You've been gaming this entire quarantine. Are you a gamer? Are you good? Yeah, I've been, I've been gaming. I've been, I've been on it hard. So I've been on crowded duty. I've been on, you know, maybe 2k, Apex, just streaming like, you know, you know, Twitch, everybody's on Twitch. So I've been on Twitch like heavy, heavy, heavy. So that's what I've been doing. Just, you know, giving everybody a little glimpse. Right. Awesome. Awesome. Well, I love that you're training. I know a lot of Saints fans cannot wait to get this thing going, especially because you got a new, a new quarterback in that division over there in Tampa Bay. You ready? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ready. I like, I like Brady, man. I'll talk to him a couple times, you know, just adds another, another little bit of flavor to our division. It was already loaded, but now with Tom and what they have, or what they're getting ready to have going on down there, I think it's just more competition, you know? Yeah, no doubt. Bring it on. I mean, I could keep asking you questions all night. We could keep doing this, but we have got a ton of awesome fans on this call, exclusive, exclusive people joining us and fans that have a lot of questions for you. So I want to get to those questions right now. And then the first question comes to us from, boom, Brandon K. He says, what did you first buy when you got your first NFL check? Great question. Brandon, all right. When I got my first check, first of all, now I'll tell you about all the taxes. My tax first, then when I actually got my check after the taxes, I ain't do nothing. I went and got some food. I literally went and got wings. Like I went and got something to eat. And I still like to this day, I have yet to like really buy myself anything with like any of my football money crew. So good for you. Good for you. That's how you make it last, right? Talk to the young kids. Yeah, don't touch it. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. No matter how tempting it is, don't touch it. There you go. You got yourself a chain though, too. Yeah, it was a gift. That's beautiful. All right, let's move on to number two here. Allie N asks you, Alvin, you had the highest Wonderlich score of any running back in your draft class. How did you prepare for that? All right, Allie. So I know it might sound strange, but I didn't prepare for it at all. I got it from my mama. I literally, like, so they're all through draft prep. Like I didn't do, I didn't even like, I didn't do a fake Wonderlich nothing. I didn't do a test Wonderlich anything. I just the first time I took the Wonderlich or saw what the Wonderlich looked like anything like was when it was administered at the combine. So, all right, you know, it was God giving. There you go. Own that. Awesome question, Allie. Thank you. Let's get to our next question here for Alvin. And that comes from Andre E. Alvin, you want to know besides the Superdome, what is the next best stadium that you like to plan? Man, so I've been, let's see, I've been the Dallas, I've been to Minnesota, I've been, I've been, I've been everywhere. I haven't, let me see. I think, oh, yeah, I know Lambo, because you know, you hear all the stories about Lambo and like the history and and like, you know, you just hear so many stories about it. And then to actually go there, like, it's already hyped up before you go there. And then when I went, like, I went out for warm ups and I'm just looking around like, dang, this Lambo field. So I think like I definitely enjoyed playing there just because of history. That's very cool. What's the coldest place you've ever played? I mean, you play in a dome so. Yeah, I don't got to deal with the weather. Yeah, you get you get up north and you're like, they said they for me. But I'm trying to think. Like actually having to deal with the elements probably buffalo. Yeah. And it wasn't even there, but it was still cold. All right. All right, let's move on. Next question is from, we're gonna see it in a second. I got you. All right, with the possibility of no fans in the stands, Alvin, how may that affect your play as opposed to having a full packed roaring stadium? This question is from Sal M. It's a great question, by the way, very topical. It's a good question. And I think, like, you know, a lot of me of my coaster friends that also play have been talking about it. You know, it's definitely different because we're used to the energy that the crowd brings. So, you know, stadium noise is a thing. Like, you know, crowd impact is a thing. So without that, I don't know. It kind of changes the dynamic of the game. It's like, when you score touchdown, who's cheering? Like, I don't know. Some guys, I don't know. I feel like it's going to be it'll be weird if that would happen. I don't know how I react to it. Or I don't really have a I don't know if I really have an answer for that. I know you guys pump in crowd noise, depending on what stadium you're about to go to, to kind of, you know, get you prepared for that environment. Perhaps like now your coaches will just have like absolute silence to get you ready for that. Just completely conversely, like flipping the scripts. I don't know. Sano has something good. I don't know. That's what it comes down to. Sano has something. I'm sure. No doubt about it. All right. Let's get our next question, Alvin. This comes from Jerry D. Do you still talk to Mark Ingram? Jerry, I talk to Mark every day. I was with Mark yesterday, literally. So that's my boy. Like, that's one of my closest friends. So I talk to him every day. It's like, he might as well still be in New Orleans. Like, we still get as close as we were when he was with us. You guys train together? Let him know that you got a shout out on the Fandall virtual event tonight. Very exclusive deal. Got a shout out. All right. Okay. Next question here. It is not sure who it's from, but tell us a fun fact about Drew Brees that people wouldn't know. A fun fact about Drew Brees. Drew actually has a lot of knowledge about 90s hip-hop. So, you know, you might catch him in a locker room, just walking in the locker room. Somebody might play like, might be playing like some Dr. Drew. That's cute. But like, some, and he's just singing everywhere word for word, like hitting like Snoop Dogg, anything. Like, he's in it. Like, and you'll be like, what? Hey, Drew, he's like, you know, he got that little cool walk and he's in the locker room, like Bobby. Nah, Drew, real cool. Like, super cool. But that's one fun fact. Like, I was surprised when I saw him do that. I was like, what the heck? I can definitely see that little DMX, little rough riders mix in there. I love it. Respect, Drew. Okay, let's get to this next question here for you, Alvin. What's your go-to song to get you right before a game? Oh, my go-to song? Yeah. Dang, I don't really got to go to song. I'm all over the place. But let me see. Like, I'm from Atlanta. I just, I, any, I just, you could put on future essentials and let it ride. And you go, something gonna hype you up. Be ready to go. Yeah, you will hear something. Awesome. Awesome. Okay. Next question. What has been your favorite thing you've watched so far during quarantine? What you watching? This is from David C. I don't really, you know, the crazy thing. I don't really watch a lot of TV, but I did watch it. I think I was watching, um, what was that the other day? The evolution of hip hop. And I was like, the first episode, or I think it was the second or first, one of them was about New Orleans, like Coincidentally, it was like about, you know, like cash money and stuff like that. Like Master P and all that. So I was watching that. That was pretty interesting because it was some stuff I didn't know. And just to, you know, know that and actually be in the city and like see stuff on the show and where they were at. And like, now I'm in the city and I'm like, oh, I've been there or like, I've seen that. And like, Hey, that's when, that's when they were doing that. Or that's where they were doing that. It was dope to see. That's really cool. Probably taking a little bit through your childhood as well. Coming through that history. Just a little bit. Okay, let's get to that next question. And it is from Justin H. Do you feel that you were limited last season by your injury? I know you had two injuries in those two games. And do you expect any impact going forward? How are you feeling? Well, I was definitely limited last season, like a hundred percent. You know, I mean, specifically, you know, during the season, nobody really knows, you know, as a fan, like, and I understand it, I don't really care. It doesn't hurt my feelings. But, you know, fans, they always expect perfect product. But, you know, realistically, we deal with injuries. We deal with other things like we're still human. But, you know, just dealing with dealing with dealing with that knee injury. I mean, it just limited me. I couldn't really move. I wanted to move. I was in pain every game I was playing. And, you know, I just I could have sat down like the extent of my injury. Like it was a serious injury. Like it's not really an injury you play with. But I just decided to keep playing and try to fight through it the best I can. That's what that's what I try to put out on the field every year. I try to give my all every every game. And, you know, it was a down year, but I'm not worried about it going forward. I'm a hundred percent healthy now. So I'm good. I know a couple of DFS players that needed you for those two games, Alvin. I'm just saying, got you got you next season, for sure. Yeah. Okay. Question number 10 for you. What's your favorite spot to eat in New Orleans, maybe a spot that you're missing right now during quarantine? I know you said that you're in Houston right now to train. So what's your favorite spot in New Orleans to eat? My favorite spot in New Orleans to eat. My friend has a restaurant. Larry Moro shout out to Larry. It's called Moro's. And it's just kind of like Louisiana. It's Cajun cuisine with a little Korean twist. He's his mother is the chef. She's Korean. So we've got some Korean twists with it with some Cajun cuisine and like, you know, just some home cooked good food. So shout out to Moro's. That's that's what I'm missing right now. All right. All right. Sounds good right about now. Let's get this last question for you, Alvin. Who was your favorite player growing up? Ah, man. I feel like you knew this was coming. It's like, well, I hate those questions. Who was your favorite player? Who was your favorite team? Who was your favorite running back? But my favorite player growing up probably just, I mean, I was in Atlanta. So if you, if you don't say this, you like, you were on Mike Vic, you know what I'm saying? He was electric. Like he redefined. I mean, he really redefined the game. And it was just like every time you watched him, he was on the edge of the FC. Like just trying to, like, you know, what's next, trying to see what's next. So Mike Vic for sure. Like me fast. If you said Patrick Kearney defense events with Atlanta Falcons, that would not have been an incorrect answer. Alvin, you're the best. I'm pretty cheap to you. Thank you so much for being here. Great insight into your world. Enjoy Houston. Keep it safe during this quarantine. Thank you so much for joining us for the Spandool virtual event. And man, good luck this season. We're going to be cheering for you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me. All right, we'll see you soon.
