He was talking about the chicken farm, man. He said he had a chicken farm. Do you have a chicken farm?
Yeah, I got a horse farm.
No, I mean, you know, I mean, look, you assume if you have a farm, you got chicken. Yes. Chickens come with farms. Yeah. You know, goats and things of that nature. What's a horse farm? Yeah, what is it? A horse farm. So, basically, what we do is we board horses. People come to us. It's like a horse. Think of it as a horse hotel. Oh, really? Yeah. It's like a horse hotel. A horse hotel.
Yeah, a horse hotel. Hotel. Horse-tel. No, horse hotel, man. Yeah, but he tried to blend them both, you know? I'm trying to brand for you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. You guys are good at this. See, you guys do this every day, man. I can't keep up with you guys.
You know, Smirnoff, we do game days. The longest tailgate you've ever seen. I mean, we're talking about a 60-foot bed here. Right. That's what we're doing. Yeah. I mean, Flo Rida's going to be there. It's going to be off the charts, man. Yeah. I can't wait. I'm excited. I've never seen anything. Have you ever seen anything like this? No, never in my entire life. I'm with you, man.
See, one thing about Smirnoff, they always come up with these great ideas. That's why I love being a part of their family. I mean, it's been... an amazing journey with these guys because you never know what you're going to get. I know. You look great, by the way. Oh, thank you, man.
Come on, man. Look at me, man. God, it looks like me. Come on, man. Yeah, of course I can play. Are you serious?
Maybe, I'd say maybe 50 catches. Right now. 700 yards. Right now. First year, year one. And as we progress, numbers might go up slightly.
Well, I need to spend a lot of time. I mean, with the things that I'm doing, I have a show coming out called Match Point. It comes out February 11th on Apple and Amazon. Excellent. It's about two tennis players. retire, and decide to start a podcast. Everything goes wrong. Really? I brought my good friend Omar Bowden, who won the Super Bowl with me in Denver. He's a part of the cast.
It's going to be hilarious, guys. You guys got to check it out. That is so cool, by the way. Oh, thank you so much. So between the time doing all that stuff, I would need to take time away from that and take a good month and a half to get back to where I need to be. Right. And bada bing, bada boom, here we go.
I'm dropping back, maybe with Jaden Daniels behind the center, throwing me the ball.
Okay. And they used to have these activities at their house where they – it was called the Williams Invitational. Oh, right. Where all of the friends and family members come over and we play tennis. That's how I learned how to play.
I mean, they would have all kinds of, like, performances. It was a whole thing for, like, five years.
Well, did you see what's going on? Serena, she got pregnant. Yeah, yeah. Life got in the way. Venus became a fashion model. But you still want to go. I mean. Yeah, you want to still play. I did want to go. I mean, look, hey, but if you get married and your life changes, I mean, you don't want to invite guys. You don't want guys around anymore. I guess you're right.
I can hold it down.
She played left-handed.
She and Venus played left-handed.
Oh, yeah, left-handed.
Against everyone, yeah.
Got to play left-handed.
Six out. Yeah, they just won. That's ridiculous. Yeah, there's no other way.
No, I didn't know. My life has taken a path that was totally unexpected. I didn't know anything about anything.
You just kind of go and hope for the best, prepare for the worst. It was one of those journeys that I've taken. But they say when your life is like that, that means you're on track.
You're in the right place. You're right where you need to be. Because you can never really – you can plan out what you want to do, but the best outcome is always the things that you didn't expect, the things you didn't plan for. You know what I mean? Like being here with a 60-foot truck bed as a tailgate. You know what I mean? That's crazy.
But, look, I'm here. I'm a part of it. And, look, I'm –
Oh, yeah.
Right, right. And you kind of stumble into everything because you go into the NFL expecting to be this all-world player, but it don't happen like that. My first two years wasn't the best. Right. It wasn't what I wanted it to be, but as I continued on, it got better and better and better.
I can't, like, sitting here with you guys right now, I'm about to be a part of a 60-foot tailgate. I didn't expect to be a part of this.
Is it hard?
He's my co-host on the Bay Show. When I first started acting and studying with my coach, Anthony, Robert Epstein. Yes. I almost quit. I almost gave up. Yes. It was so hard, man.
Wow. I mean, the things that you have to do. I remember working with this other coach named Kevin Benton. He had me go. He said, I want you to look at that wall right there. I want you to pretend you're in the middle of a desert, but there's water and there's a ship going by, and the only way to get out is to get that ship's attention. Right. So I had to go, help, help, help, help me. Right.
It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. But I had to do it in a, you know, I had to, you know, I'm pacing, I'm back, like.
No, I mean, it's tough. Everything you do, I feel like anything that you do, whatever it is, it doesn't matter whether you're making a glass bottle or you're making, coming up with the designs for this football.
In order to be great at it, you have to put the time in. You have to study the craft. Yeah. and continue to go through trial and error and get better and better. It's always one of those things where sometimes you find yourself sitting there like, gosh, I need to figure out a way to do this better. But it's through trial and error. It takes time.
Yeah. Yeah. In the beginning, when I first started, when I first started, it was the hardest thing ever. It's like learning to dance. All of that stuff go in the same pipe. If you're first learning to do anything, it'll probably be the hardest thing of your life. And as you continue to go on, it'll probably get harder. Yeah. But until you find, we all have different ways of learning.
You got to get on figuring things out. You have to be uncomfortable, man. Yeah, you have to be uncomfortable. But some people give up. Some people quit. Some people are not. You know, used to being uncomfortable. They just don't like it. It's one of those things. But if you put the work in and you have trust and faith that you'll get to where you need to be, then it'll eventually happen.
A good game, but I can see the Eagles winning by two touchdowns.
Yeah, I mean, it was, yeah, I mean, everything that they have, the talent. Saquon, Hurts. Yeah. They just got it, man. They're all across the board. Those guys are playing the best football of their life. Two touchdowns, though, Billy.
But look, I had an opportunity to do something even cooler than this. Seems impossible. A few weeks ago, yes. What? With Complex. Ooh. Yeah, it was amazing. So I went through my house, and they had me find some of the most valuable items that I didn't mind giving away. Well, I did. I did want to give them away, but when it comes to Smirnoff, I'll do anything for them. Why'd you give away?
I can't tell you, but you can find out if you go to SmirnoffDrops.com. Oh, you are good. You are good. Come on, man. Look, I've been taught by the best, man. Come on. What, us? His coach.
Come on.
Oh.
He does remember. Look at me. I love you, man. I love you, too, man. Thank you, man. Thank you, man.
Good luck with the horses. Thank you. Oh, the horses. Not the chickens, though. Not the chickens.
It's not a bad thing.
