The Bulwark Daily · S2 Ep1004: Wes Moore: The System Doesn't Work for a Lot of People · 20 Mar 2025 podcast

And actually, you know, and here's what's wild. It was crazy. So they were like, you know, can the governor come and visit? And I think they wanted me to like say a couple like rah, rah, you know what I mean? But I was like, no, you're like, go Terps. I was like, no, like, can I practice? And they're like, what do you mean? It's like, can I actually practice with the team?

And we got on board, threw the gear on, and I ran a full practice with the University of Maryland football team.

Well, during practice, I was playing wide receiver because I played wide receiver in college. So I played college football. And so it actually felt very comfortable. The big difference is I was actually hanging with these dudes. They're like, OK, he can actually ball. Here's the problem. The next morning, I couldn't feel my legs. Yeah. Did you take any hits? Was it a full hit?

You were taking hits? I was taking hits and giving them. And I'm telling, because I told him, I was like, you were giving hits as a wide receiver?

Oh, in the drills. Because I was telling him, don't take it easy on me. Like, if we're going to work, let's work. And I'm very competitive and I don't like losing, especially to like, you know, to 19 and 20 year olds. Were you shit talking? Oh, hell yeah. Hell yeah. But I ain't going to lie. The difference is this, is they got up in the morning and they probably did another two a day.

I got up in the morning and I just needed to just pound Advils all day long just to make it through.

Gold's, yeah.

So I actually work out every morning at the Naval Academy.

Every morning I work out with the midshipmen. And it's cool. Squats or what you do? Yes. I mean, every day is something different. I mean, today we were burning out on sleds in Versa. Yesterday we were doing backs and buys. So, I mean, every day I'm out there working out with the midshipmen. So they keep me honest, man. It's good. That's cool.

I'm losing. Absolutely. I'm losing.

Listen, I don't have an issue. And trust me, as someone who very often will take a cigar, I don't have an issue with it. I also think that we need to make sure we have ways of focusing on public safety on it, too. And so I really don't have an issue with it, particularly as adults go and do what adults need to do. Like no one's going to tell me not to smoke cigars ever. You know what I mean?

At the same time, though, I want to make sure that our kids are protected. All right. There are some kids vaping out there, so I get that.

I began to understand it, I'd say probably right in 2018, 2019 or something like that. You got to get it now that the president's running a crypto grift. Yeah, but as you're watching it completely fall off the cliff when it comes to value. So I think people just need to be careful. So no West coin? Nah, ain't no West coins. There will be no West coins.

So I mean, listen, for anyone who wants to get in it, whatever like that, that's cool. It's something I've actually, I really got into because intellectually, I wanted to understand it. And probably around 2018, whatever, I really started to like, oh, this is actually kind of interesting. It's just, it's not my thing. I like things that are tangible.

Actually, I think the Big Ten is real college football.

Duh. You been to Knoxville? I actually have on my bucket list. I have on my bucket list that there are a couple places that I really got to get to. Tiger Stadium. And that's definitely one of them. Actually, Michigan's another one. That's another bucket list for me. And Ohio State. I'd love to see Michigan, Ohio State. That's another bucket list game. But yeah. No, but Big Ten.

Big Ten is actually some of the best football you're going to find.

That sounds good to me.
