 What's up, what's up? All right, good to see you. Oh, my God. Welcome, welcome. Let's go. Welcome. Okay. You guys ready? Oh, man, we got it. We got everything. I'm making the traditional dish in my period. This is the only one I know how to make. You never thought you would. Got to get my 100% every single player. And then, I'm gonna just love the game. Rice in the stew, and that makes our traditional rice called Jaluf rice. Hey, Mom, does this look right? I really honor my dad. Honor everything that my dad instilled in me. How does that do right here? For what, it means everything to me. That's God, man. In Nigeria, they just eat a breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 2003, that's when the war broke out. It was a blessing for me to see my mom, man. Because, you know, from Liberia, the food is spicy. It ain't good. That is fine, bro. Let's get better today, baby. The vibe's going back a little bit, as always. I got a chocolate bar and an applesauce. Man, you're gonna get me going all day. I love my job, dude. It's insane. The day I started playing football, I was so addicted to it, always in front of a TV, watching college football, like, watching NFL. Like, I'm talking about all day from morning to night. Football has changed my life in ways I can't even explain, man. I love this game, man. When I'm training, I train to be the best. I want people to know that I give it my all. You know, whatever we wanted to do it was about, hey, you got to do your homework first. Like, there was no, like, that was number one. Like, if I wanted to come back home and go out and hang out with everybody, it was first I got to make sure I take care of the responsibilities at the house. And there's no talking back. There's no talking back. That's not even that. That's not even that. You don't even think about it. Like, when you go to your friend's house, right, and they go, oh, that's... People are talking back to me. That's right. First time I've seen that, I was like, Whoa! Yo, he's about to get it right again. Destroy it. Yeah, like, no. That's not even an option. So, discipline in our house was... But it made me who I am today. You know what I mean? Appreciate it. And you go back and you think about all the lessons and all that that they taught us. Appreciate it all. You know, from them having the struggle just to get here and understand what they had to do to just make it. You know what I mean? So, you have a better appreciation for what you have. I remember back in, like, seventh grade, I had, like, a C in math. Like, it wasn't even a C, like, at the end of the grade period. Like, it was just a C at the time. We still had time left to get it up. When my dad saw that, he was like, You're done playing basketball. Call my coach, like, took me off the basketball team until I got my grades back up. Like, yeah, they did not play about that stuff. Sad part of my life, you know, my dad, who taught me everything, who taught me all that discipline and hard work. He actually unfortunately passed away with a heart attack, you know, when I was 15 years old. So, you know, lots of them at an early age, I feel like at those, you know, peak years for a young boy to have their father. So, then, you know, in our culture, in the Nigerian culture, it's like, I became the man of the house, you know, right then at 15, and all I wanted to do was just make sure my family was straight. When my dad died, it was like, I kind of opened my eyes to, like, man, like, the world is real. Welcome to the show! I apologize. I actually almost had got the game of football that he'd taken away from me. My dad actually died of a heart attack, and now I'm having a heart attack at 20 years old, so it's like, oh, wow, this is crazy. So, I started seeing everything in the big picture. Like, every time I did, I was doing, like, a workout. I hear people complain, and I'm like, nah, this is gonna help me down the line. Be present where you are, because I wish I could go back and just breathe so much more present, you know, in those days. You just don't know until it's gone, and when it's gone, you can never get back. He didn't even get to watch a high school game. A college game, man. And a field game. I got my family with me now, though, and they're all watching and living it out, and I know he's up there looking down, and he's extremely proud, so... Chica! It's good, baby. I was doing it, man. It's scary. Let's get it, man. Let's go and rent some 2K. Ooh! For me, I would say, like, our friendship has been growing a lot, doing a bunch of activities together, like hiking and, you know, just kicking it, talking about life. You got to knock that one down, I'm... Yeah! Man, this is funny. Always joking all the time. You know, you're the first one, like, you just got them hitting communication, you know? You know, you just got that... You just look at them and just know exactly... and just know exactly what you're thinking. Get up that quick! No, man, no, man. I won, man. They have no evidence. You know what it is, man. Yes, sir. Afro beats means a lot, man. Like, I said earlier, it's definitely, like, the genre I listen to the most. You know, it gets you going, man. It gets the heart flowing. You know, it gets the body moving a little bit. You can dance to any Afro beats. Yeah, you can literally dance to any Afro beats, man. I like your tricks there, man. It's a spirit, man. It's like... You feel it in your spirit. You feel it in your spirit, man. Yeah, honestly, that beats get on, man. You don't want to move, honestly. Going back home was great, though. So now when you go back home, do you see it differently? Yeah, it was like a whole... It's like nothing like I remember when I was coming here. It's not like big buildings. Shopping malls. McDonald's out there, man. Oh, man. Growing up early on in Liberia, man, it was great. My grandma... My grandma had worked really hard to get us in a comfortable place in Liberia. So, you know, it was pretty comfortable, I would say. So it was like 2003. It was like 2003. I was like eight. Civil war, I broke out of my country. And, you know, that was a really tough time. A lot of kids didn't get to see their parents again. Yeah. Me and my mom actually being... I ended up getting separated during the war. And, you know, that was a great thing. And, you know, that was a really tough time for me because my mom was my best friend, you know. She's my everything. It was tough, man. It was a really tough time. There was a lot of child soldiers, man. You know, just me seeing a lot of stuff. A kid should have seen at a young age, man. After the war ended, me and my mom were super to, you know, reunite. Which was a huge blessing, man. I say this a lot, it's a huge blessing for a lot of kids. You know, they get the opportunity to see their parents again after the war. You know, that was great. And then, you know, as time went on, the country, you know, got better and better again. And then finally got the opportunity to come to America. That was amazing, man. It was like, whoa, new plays, you know. Excited. Yeah, man. Nice job. Garantano. Dropping. Looking. He is... Just football dream, man. You know, my dude is like, you know, You know, the tradition of African path, man. Dr. Lawyer, you know, the tradition of African path, man. Dr. Lawyer, you know. And I was like, you know, I'm a child of the football thing, man. Man, you look back at the journey. I was like back at the journey and it's like, man, I've wanted this since I was eight years old. Like, how many people know what they've wanted in life? Like, since they were just like a child and like really got to go in that path and just complete it. So me and me, it's like, you know, it's everything to be like. Well, with an opening statement here, Wilder's way through the Kansas City Chiefs. It's nice to be able to take care of your people. At a moment's notice, I can just help anyone in my family. Right. I want to see the people that I care about happy. That's why I'm really doing all this. So everyone that comes from me will have freedom to do whatever they want to do in life. Women in his life. Who loves him. The NFL actually was doing a lot of work with, you know, back in Africa and trying to get, like they sent something, I think some teams over to compete in some flag football opportunities too. But, yeah, at some point, man, I know you've talked about going back over there and being a part of something like that. Sure. I want to help people, man, especially in Africa, man. I want to build some schools out there too. I actually want to build a house in Liberia and move back home. Then I'm a football man and really see how I can help my people develop out of my country Man, it's a lot of talent in Africa, man. It doesn't matter how much you hit it. So much hidden talent. Just with no opportunity. Like, I don't know about job. Like, whenever I see another, you know, African. It's immediately like, yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah, it was crazy. Because you just immediately understand and know kind of like the upbringing and everything.
