 I got the energy, I got the will to survive, I got the energy, I got the energy, I got the energy, I got the energy. I don't even need to read the accolades because it's Johnny freaking Manziel and I think that's kind of how we start this thing and you're here because Chandler, he swore he would get you on this show one day and it's finally happening. I thought he was bailing, I gotta be honest with you, you're 20, better late than never, but you are party to the party, dude. Never late is better, Chand, never late is better. That's true. By the way, how do you two know each other? How does this friendship, only hell could muster up come to be? I guess right now I just get hustled on the golf course weekly, so that's about what our friendship is on right now. Yeah, we met a while ago, just kind of playing with that. Me and Chand go back a long ways. From his days in Houston, from his time he's been in Dallas with the Mavs. I mean, this is really probably 10, 12 years into this friendship right now and somebody I truly call a dear friend and we have a lot of fun. That's like a legit friendship. Yeah, we wanna throw back there on that picture there, Jesus. Yeah, that is like- It's a nice house you had, Jen. Huh? Throw them in the water. It's a nice house you had there. I know, which house was that? I'm clear on my show, I've been on the move for a while. Deuce, I was telling them about, so when I put on the Grizzlies, Johnny was on the Memphis as an XFL team and Joe Keemno was there. We had a squad and basically me and Johnny were living together for this time period. So anything in particular, remember me busting that ass and ping-paw, any situations in particular? We had a great system going in Memphis. Me and Chandler and Joe Keem would take bird scooters to the games in Memphis and it really was a great time to be there, even though it was a short amount of time. Chandler's always been a really good friend of me, always allowed me to hang around, be in the NBA circles, so I get to feel like a hooper at times. Can you go back to Memphis, by the way, because Chandler cannot go back to Memphis. I think I'm gonna go on Friday for my Texas A&M, you know, Aggies in the tournament. Please wear my Grizzlies jersey, Johnny. Please wear my jacket. No, he's gonna get us sorted out. You might get sniped. You might think it's you. Oh, God. I think it's you. All right, do something. I think I'll be all right, Chandler. I do have that jersey, so I may have to bust it out as I sit. By the way, that was the best thing. So he comes to Memphis, huge deal. Johnny Manziel is going to play football there. I'm like, been lauded in that city when he comes there. And literally his first game, he wears my jersey. Oh, my God. He's walking in the tunnel to his football game. That's a good friend. It was a bold move, Johnny. It was a bold move. Thank you, Chad. It was a bold move right there. Johnny, I want to ask you this. We always, we play golf together. He's a stick, by the way. Damn, you're a scratch golfer. Who would be your dream for some if you had to pick? And I mean, on golf, on the golf course. Yeah, I clarify that. Thank you. Thank you for the clarification, Chandler. I would put you in there. I enjoy playing golf with you a lot. You're a good, you're a good time. You're a good gambler. I would put Tiger in there as well. You have to play golf with Tiger Woods in that foursome. And for a fourth spot, I got to find somebody who's cooler than you. So I'll probably take Brady. Yeah, good luck. Brady, you said? See, I want like a John. Give me John Daly. Give me someone in there really spice things up. John Daly. Yeah, we know what you like. However, times have changed in my life, Chand. I'm a little more calm, cool, and collected at this point in my life. I love that for you. Tom Brady's cooler than you? No chance. Okay, fair enough. So, Johnny, did you play football and what made you give up? Or no, did you play basketball and what made you give up basketball for football, baseball, anything else? Yeah, my dad, my dad made me give up basketball. You know, I was, man, I was too small and I was too white. So that was really what it comes down to. Happy both. There's only like eight of us in the league, Johnny. Slim pickets. Johnny, I see the video of you dunking a basketball, man. Can you still dunk? Can you still get on the rim? And who would you model your game after? There he is. I mean, I think I'm like a Zion. I think I'm like a Zion. Williamson, to be honest, it's not a stick. Like, that's really what I think it is. But I don't know if I could dunk any more, man. Like, I would love to go out and try it. I'm gonna have to find out if I can this week. This was years ago. And I know I don't have to speak out. This is impressive, though. This is pretty good. This is impressive. I appreciate it, but I got Chandler Parsons' knees these days. They can't be that bad, Coach. They cannot be that bad. Johnny, we always talk about the goat quarterback of all time in a field. A lot of people say Tom Brady, obviously. Is Pat Mahomes have an argument? Who do you think the goat is? The goat in my eyes is probably still, man, I have a different opinion. I love Michael Vick, but that was just the way, that was just the running style and this. You're gonna really call the goat. Mahomes is well on his way, but you gotta go win six, seven Super Bowls to go beat Brady, so. Michelle's a real dog lover. I just was like that, all the names. I'm like, that's not the one I thought was coming out today. Oh, man, that is so good. What was the question? Could have been better. Fair enough. Oh, you got more? Back to your point, though, Chand. I mean, Mahomes is the guy. Right now, everybody's gotta go knock him off. I mean, what he did in the Super Bowl this year, the last couple of years. I mean, how can you not love that guy? You get a chance to spend some time around him. I know you guys are homies, so who's doing it better than Mahomes right now in any sport? And now, NBA-wise, you got MJ or Braun. I mean, that's just like, what are we gonna sit up here and have the same debate you guys have every single day? That's why you're opinion, by the way, me and Lou think it's Braun. Oh, I mean, I've been a Braun guy my whole life, but MJ is hard to, can I be a Kobe guy? For sure. Yeah, absolutely. For sure. I love the bomb of mentality. That's right on my alley. Couple weeks ago on Club Shay Shay, you mentioned that you wouldn't do anything Heisman related until Reggie Bush, as Heisman is returned back to him. I'm just curious to know, has anybody reached out to kind of bridge that gap or no? Yeah, I kind of reached out to myself a little bit. You know, I called a lot of former winners. I think a lot of guys who are, you know, some of the newer, more recent winners feel the same way that I do. So, you know, I won't throw anybody's name out there or anything like that, but I went and did the due diligence on my own to reach out, call the trust, make sure that there weren't any, you know, issues with what I was saying and what was going on and really try and get everybody on the same page because that's what it comes down to, you know. This is a very important situation, not only to me, but, you know, Reggie, a lot of the young guys. So, you know, we've had talks and I think we're in a better place now than we were a couple of months ago, a month ago. Dude, so obviously NIL is like the biggest thing right now in college athletics and you would have been, you know, severely paid in that aspect. What would it have taken for like a Nick Saban in Florida, what kind of bag we talking to drop to get you to leave A&M and go to one of those schools? Probably the same contract you got in Memphis. That's a heavy, that's a heavy contract, Coach. I don't know about that. It is, but it was never the last chance. I always give you, I always give you some crap for it. It was well deserved. So don't let anybody ever give you shit and I know you won't. Thank you, Coach. Also the NCA football, the video game is coming back and you definitely would have been the next cover athlete for that. Did you ever think about that? Like how things would have been if the rules were now? Yeah, I mean, I definitely think about it. I think it's something that I still have a want and a desire to be a part of the game. For me, being able to be in the last year of the video game that they had and be the best player in that game, me and Clowney was kind of dope because I still throw that on an Xbox and I'm able to go back and play it and I play that game my whole life growing up. I enjoyed it. I'm excited that it's coming back. I just really hope that they find a way to incorporate a lot of the old Heisman winners and make it cool because I think it's something that they need in the world right now as far as video games go. And your number one guy at A&M was Mike Evans. I know you speak volumes of him all the time. Where does he rank in your opinion of receivers of all time? I mean, right now he's a first ballot hall of famer, walking and still playing and what he's done as far as 1,000-year-hard receiving seasons. Only other person that has done anything near that or remotely close is really Randy Moss and he's still at this point in time. Mike is blazing his own path. He's absolutely crushing it. Got a new contract back in Tampa with Baker. So the sky has the limit for Mike but just because of who he is as a person and who he is as a football player. So I rank him at the top of the list as far as people that I've got a chance to play with and just true brothers in the sport of football. So, Johnny, I know you were at the Drake Show a couple of nights going OKC. Shay Gillespie-Zander, home grid, also were there. First of all, that's a lot of stars out there. Did you get a chance to link up with any of them? What's your impression of them from afar? They're awesome. I mean, I love both of those guys. I got a chance to say what up to them for just a second but I kind of stay in my lane. I kind of mind my own business for the most part and I'm there to enjoy the Drake Show but any time I walk by any of the NBA guys or any of the young bucks like that, like young bucks I say, I don't know why I feel like I'm so old. I get a chance to go say what up. So I'm always trying to put out some positive energy and some love whenever I meet these guys and they're great players. They're great dudes and I wish them nothing but the best. So I think that's what I get a chance to portray whenever I see them. And it's still being around greatness in settings like that. And I think that's what Drake does the best is, he allows some of the greatest people in sports, in music and around the world to get a chance to come together. And that's why I love those shows and I got a chance to do it again the other night. So it's always a good time when Drake comes into town. I know Lou loves this next question. Back in 2020, we got the Magic City Wings. You said, believe it or not, the Chicken Wings at Magic City are the best I've ever had. What the hell's in these wings? It's a good product, man. I don't know. But whatever they got going on there is really, really good. And once again, I'm thankful to my great friend, Chandler Parsons, because I didn't go in there alone. There we go. By the way, if we're ever back to, Lemon Pepper Lou was obviously the guy, Johnny. And I went recently and they were just as tasty. We have to go. We do have to go. Can I go? Yeah, I do a lot of shows. Johnny, my last question is, obviously I know you got a lot going on with, you know, the world, what's the world expect now coming up from Johnny football? Sports media, what do you got on tap? Yeah, I got a lot coming. Kind of playing it close to the vest right now with what's coming on. I'm coming back to LA this week. I'm gonna take some money of yours on the golf course. I'm gonna hang out. I'm gonna enjoy. I'm kind of finding out where my body is right now. I'm finding where next steps are as far as sports. So, you know, life is good. I'm happy, healthy, and that's just really where I'm going. Can you guys please take Lou on the golf course? We'd love to. And then get some video. I'd love to. Come on, Lou. I've literally never been on a golf course before. This has to happen. That's all right. 37 years old, never been on a golf course. Yeah. Oh, never. We got you, bro. Don't worry. Yeah, you're an athlete. But you can't take money from it. Like, that's the rule, right? Nah, nah, nah, nah. We won't place them. Just from each other. We won't place them. No. I'm trying to protect you, Lou. Nah, that'll be fine. We got you. Next week. I appreciate it. I'm rolling. We got a minute left, Chandler. Anything you want to share? That's it, Johnny. I'm happy for you, buddy, for real. I love now for you. Everybody, I wish you would tell them about that little streak you went on in Dallas. That little lucky rabbit's foot run you got on. That is true. There was a time in Dallas also where Johnny stayed with me for about a good month. And I think I averaged 25 for that month. Oh, wow. We always call Johnny my little rabbit's foot. And by the way, we would go. We'd drop 25. We would go out. We would party. And we would still do it the next night. And it was just rinse and repeat. And it was, he was my good luck charm. I want to hear the best going out story. That's PG-13. We're going to be more to the minute. Yeah, I don't know if this is the show for. 20 seconds left. That's a PG-13. We're going to be more to the minute. We had a great speech toast on Martin Luther King Day one time. What? We had a great Cabo trips. There's nothing that we can really talk about. Don't worry about it. We'll tell you after the show. If you think we're not starting the show tomorrow with the end of today's show, Lou and I have questions. Deuce, Johnny. Appreciate it, buddy. Appreciate it. See you guys. Thank you for having me on. See y'all tomorrow. They're running back, running back, running up, running back, running up, running back, running up.
