00:00:04,992 --> 00:00:06,078
Hi, I'm Kenny Smith.
2
00:00:06,103 --> 00:00:08,065
And welcome to "Young Athletes
and the Road Ahead"
3
00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:12,080
brought to you by NBC and our
proud sponsor Beyond Protein.
4
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:13,646
Where's the beef?
5
00:00:13,647 --> 00:00:16,498
On the cow where it belongs.
6
00:00:16,523 --> 00:00:17,627
Thanks, Beyondé.
7
00:00:17,652 --> 00:00:19,401
And tonight we have our special guest,
8
00:00:19,402 --> 00:00:21,904
presidential candidate Dwayne Johnson.
9
00:00:21,905 --> 00:00:23,989
Kenny, always good to see you, my man.
10
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:25,574
And looking crisp as always.
11
00:00:25,575 --> 00:00:27,451
And good to see you too, Beyondé.
12
00:00:27,452 --> 00:00:31,121
Where are my lettuce lovers at?
13
00:00:31,122 --> 00:00:32,331
So as you know,
14
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:33,833
our show focuses on the challenges
15
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:35,793
that young athletes face off the field.
16
00:00:35,794 --> 00:00:37,336
- That's right.
- And you didn't start playing
17
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:39,463
football till your junior year
of high school,
18
00:00:39,464 --> 00:00:41,215
and it took you
to one of the top college
19
00:00:41,216 --> 00:00:42,842
football programs in the country.
20
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:45,427
- The U, baby!
- The University of Miami.
21
00:00:45,428 --> 00:00:47,346
Say it with me, Kenny.
I know you want to.
22
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:48,973
Tar Heel born, Tar Heel bred.
23
00:00:48,974 --> 00:00:51,308
And when I die, I'll be Tar Heel dead.
24
00:00:51,309 --> 00:00:53,686
Wow, dead. That's some commitment.
25
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,604
You know, when you think back,
26
00:00:55,605 --> 00:00:57,856
is there anything that
you've learned about adversity
27
00:00:57,857 --> 00:00:59,525
that you would say sticks
with you today?
28
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:00,859
Oh, yeah. I remember facing
29
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,195
one of the toughest challenges
of my life.
30
00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,530
When I got to the University of Miami,
31
00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:06,156
it was in 1990, and I was a freshman.
32
00:01:06,157 --> 00:01:10,563
And I was joining the reigning
defending national champions.
33
00:01:10,588 --> 00:01:11,711
Let me tell you something, brother.
34
00:01:11,736 --> 00:01:13,372
We were the baddest pack of dogs
35
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:14,957
walking God's green Earth.
36
00:01:14,958 --> 00:01:17,960
The plan was to become a starter,
kick ass on Saturdays,
37
00:01:17,961 --> 00:01:19,086
get drafted by the NFL,
38
00:01:19,087 --> 00:01:21,831
and buy my parents
their first-ever home.
39
00:01:23,925 --> 00:01:25,634
Speaking of, when I left for Miami,
40
00:01:25,635 --> 00:01:27,219
my parents shut down
their cleaning business
41
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:30,890
in Pennsylvania and moved
to Tampa to be close by.
42
00:01:30,891 --> 00:01:32,516
Dewey trying to look so tough.
43
00:01:32,517 --> 00:01:34,894
He only smiles for his mama's cooking.
44
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:36,228
Love you, Mom.
45
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:37,521
Now, unfortunately,
46
00:01:37,522 --> 00:01:39,398
my grandmother Lia became homeless
47
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:41,400
and was in Samoa at the time.
48
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,235
She was deported, lost everything,
49
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:45,237
and she was very sad.
50
00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:47,031
We eventually got her back
into the country
51
00:01:47,032 --> 00:01:48,073
and back on her feet,
52
00:01:48,074 --> 00:01:50,576
but that's a story for another time.
53
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:52,745
My dad got a job driving a liquor truck.
54
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:55,666
And he loved telling everyone
who his son played for.
55
00:01:55,691 --> 00:01:57,082
Hey, everybody,
56
00:01:57,083 --> 00:02:01,086
let me know if you need
Miami Hurricane tickets.
57
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,963
My boy's on the team.
58
00:02:02,964 --> 00:02:05,768
I'll take some tickets. Can I get ten?
59
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:09,428
Ten? Greedy, Larry.
60
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:10,929
My mom also worked,
61
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:15,059
but her number one job
was worrying about me.
62
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:17,227
She was never far from my mind...
63
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,690
And neither was the promise I made
64
00:02:21,691 --> 00:02:23,108
when we lived in Bethlehem.
65
00:02:23,109 --> 00:02:25,277
I wanted to give her
and my dad a better life.
66
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:28,739
And reminders of that
better life were everywhere.
67
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:30,783
Practice at the U was intense.
68
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,577
And you had a lot of eyes on you.
69
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:41,293
From a rebel it's final on black vinyl ♪
70
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:49,635
Okay, guys, circle up!
71
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:51,721
Oklahoma drill!
72
00:02:53,890 --> 00:02:57,476
Cristobal!
73
00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:59,144
Freshman, let's see if you're
74
00:02:59,145 --> 00:03:00,813
a candyass or a hardass.
75
00:03:02,607 --> 00:03:05,609
Hey, you, get me
some coffee grounds to chew.
76
00:03:05,610 --> 00:03:08,112
I am tired as a one-legged
cat in a sandbox.
77
00:03:08,113 --> 00:03:09,488
Yes, Coach Orgeron.
78
00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:34,680
Nice, Johnson!
79
00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:36,849
You got the most violent
upper body I ever seen.
80
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:39,852
- Thank you, Coach!
- And polite as [Bleep] too.
81
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:43,647
Your momma raised you right, boy.
82
00:03:43,648 --> 00:03:46,358
Sanka? I don't chew on Sanka, son.
83
00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:50,507
You find me that good Italian crap
with the gondola on it. Yeah.
84
00:03:50,569 --> 00:03:53,365
- All right, who's next?
- One, two, three...
85
00:03:53,366 --> 00:03:55,033
- U!
- Let's go.
86
00:03:55,034 --> 00:03:56,596
Good job, guys.
87
00:03:56,621 --> 00:03:59,204
Hey. Nice practice, Big Fresh.
88
00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:00,706
Yo. Thanks, Russell.
89
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:04,209
Russ. Mr. All-America. Nightmare Boy.
90
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:06,712
Or the Conscience.
That's how I approach the game.
91
00:04:06,713 --> 00:04:08,088
I keep it cerebral, you know?
92
00:04:08,089 --> 00:04:10,549
- Yeah. Totally.
- Uncle Luke pulled me aside
93
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:12,551
during your practice,
said he liked your game.
94
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:14,553
Uncle Luke Uncle Luke? From 2 Live Crew?
95
00:04:14,554 --> 00:04:16,221
From 2 Live Crew. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
96
00:04:16,222 --> 00:04:18,390
Want to invite you to a party
at his house tonight.
97
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:20,642
He said, "I want Dwayne
Johnson to come to my party"?
98
00:04:20,643 --> 00:04:21,977
Or like how did he say... did he say...
99
00:04:21,978 --> 00:04:24,563
Hey, calm down. Calm down.
But be excited.
100
00:04:24,564 --> 00:04:26,398
I mean, he never invites
freshmen to his house,
101
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,067
so, you know, don't embarrass us.
102
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:30,360
Come correct, and dress to impress.
103
00:04:30,361 --> 00:04:32,237
It's not gonna be a problem.
104
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:38,827
Turtleneck, fanny pack, chain...
105
00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:42,113
Dwayne.
106
00:04:42,138 --> 00:04:43,472
- Yo.
- Hey, bro.
107
00:04:43,497 --> 00:04:46,152
- "Dear John's" about to start.
- Heading out, Omar.
108
00:04:46,177 --> 00:04:47,259
Record it for me.
109
00:04:47,284 --> 00:04:49,463
Noice! What's in the fanny pack?
110
00:04:49,464 --> 00:04:50,914
Pop Tarts and condoms.
111
00:04:50,939 --> 00:04:53,921
- Eat it and beat it.
- Noice.
112
00:04:53,945 --> 00:04:55,218
Beautiful.
113
00:05:00,163 --> 00:05:01,364
Hey, don't call him.
114
00:05:01,389 --> 00:05:03,769
- I'm gonna call him.
- Babe, he is in college
115
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:04,930
living his life.
116
00:05:04,955 --> 00:05:07,439
When I was 18, I was already
on my own wrestling.
117
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,441
But he's never been on his own before.
118
00:05:09,442 --> 00:05:11,610
What if someone tries
to steal his ATM pin number?
119
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:12,736
He'll be fine.
120
00:05:12,737 --> 00:05:14,113
He's 6'5",
121
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:17,241
230 pounds with genuine
Rocky Johnson blood
122
00:05:17,242 --> 00:05:19,952
flowing through him.
Ain't nobody gonna rob him.
123
00:05:19,953 --> 00:05:21,453
And instead of worrying about Dewey,
124
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:25,207
why don't we enjoy being empty-nesters?
125
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:26,625
Aren't we already doing that?
126
00:05:26,626 --> 00:05:29,743
Look, this is
an entertainment coupon book.
127
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,048

Yo, meet my partner Dwayne Johnson.
150
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:41,100
This kid right here,
he's gonna be a star one day.
151
00:06:41,101 --> 00:06:42,267
I promise you.
152
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:46,105
- Kid? Aren't you, like, 30?
- I'm 18.
153
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:48,274
But I make love like I'm 30.
154
00:07:03,748 --> 00:07:07,042
Ladies. Was that too much?
155
00:07:07,043 --> 00:07:08,752
Yeah, man. Way, way too much.
156
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,589
Oh, hey!
157
00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:14,299
Dwayne Johnson.
158
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:18,303
This is the freshman turning
all them heads at campus.
159
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:21,306
Yo, Uncle Luke, I'm a huge fan.
160
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:23,892
I played your tapes so much,
I broke three Walkmans.
161
00:07:23,893 --> 00:07:27,771
Oh, damn, the key is not
to use auto-reverse feature.
162
00:07:27,772 --> 00:07:29,398
You got to hand-flip them tapes, man.
163
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,234
Ain't no Walkman in the world
that can handle my bass.
164
00:07:32,235 --> 00:07:34,403
- Right, my bad.
- Hey, you know what, man?
165
00:07:34,404 --> 00:07:36,864
We got big expectations
for you, young blood.
166
00:07:36,865 --> 00:07:39,157
I got big expectations for myself.
167
00:07:39,158 --> 00:07:40,492
I'm gonna move the crowd.
168
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,828
See, that's what I like to hear.
169
00:07:42,829 --> 00:07:45,497
You got to bet on yourself.
170
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:48,333
- Honey, you shouldn't have.
- You know it's a good one
171
00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:50,294
because of the width in the back.
172
00:07:50,345 --> 00:07:52,387
- Yeah, you like it?
- Oh, we love it.
173
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:55,223
But it's too much.
How can you afford this?
174
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:57,726
I put it on layaway,
you know? I bet on myself.
175
00:07:57,727 --> 00:08:00,228
Throw this old small bitch
TV in the trash.
176
00:08:00,229 --> 00:08:01,855
Hey. And that TV is just the beginning.
177
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:02,898
In a couple years, it's gonna be
178
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:04,900
a three-bedroom ranch house in that box.
179
00:08:04,901 --> 00:08:07,172
A lot of young athletes
can relate to trying
180
00:08:07,197 --> 00:08:08,446
to take care of their family.
181
00:08:08,471 --> 00:08:09,655
It was my goal, Kenny.
182
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,791
And I was on my way
to making it a reality.
183
00:08:11,816 --> 00:08:14,660
All right, circle up, guys!
184
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:19,581
Men, this Saturday is
our season opener against BYU.
185
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,751
Those Utah boys like to throw
those pretty passes,
186
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:26,588
play that finesse game,
and what do we like to do?
187
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:29,091
- Hit 'em in the mouth!
- Yeah! Oklahoma drill.
188
00:08:29,092 --> 00:08:32,594
Cristobal, Johnson, rematch.
189
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:40,102
Lightning's not gonna strike twice.
190
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:41,895
We've all seen how this movie ends.
191
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:48,235
Ready, set, hike.
192
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,626
I just swallowed my damn grounds.
193
00:09:09,817 --> 00:09:11,817
All the ligaments
in your shoulder are torn.
194
00:09:11,843 --> 00:09:14,526
I'm sorry, Dwayne.
You're out for the season.
195
00:09:14,551 --> 00:09:16,722
Wait, what? No, that can't be...
196
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:18,098
Look, this is bad.
197
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:20,976
But at least it happened
before the season started.
198
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:22,978
All right, we'll redshirt you
so you won't lose a year
199
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:24,021
of eligibility.
200
00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:27,316
You rehab your butt off,
you come to team meetings,
201
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:28,817
and continue to study the game,
202
00:09:28,818 --> 00:09:32,571
next season,
you'll come back even stronger.
203
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:33,989
That must have been devastating.
204
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,073
It was.
205
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:36,950
But, you know, injuries
are just part of the game.
206
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,161
And I really believed
in what Coach O was saying.
207
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,705
There was no reason why I
couldn't hit rehab really hard
208
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,498
and then come back even stronger.
209
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:44,666
I don't care what the coach says.
210
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:45,959
You're injured. You should come home.
211
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,170
Mom, they reset my shoulder. I'm fine.
212
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:49,963
Babe, injuries are part of the game.
213
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:51,673
Remember when I broke three ribs
214
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,008
against Big John Studd,
215
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:54,634
then after the match,
Andre kept tickling me?
216
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:56,303
I knew something bad
was going to happen.
217
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:58,972
I had that mother's intuition.
But you started distracting me
218
00:09:58,973 --> 00:10:00,849
with dolphin coupons,
and boom, Dewey gets hurt.
219
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,601
I'm gonna dominate rehab
220
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,358
and come back stronger than ever, Mom.
221
00:10:04,383 --> 00:10:06,521
Tough as nails, just like your old man.
222
00:10:06,522 --> 00:10:07,856
I got some hernia X-rays
223
00:10:07,857 --> 00:10:09,042
that will bring a tear to your eye, son.
224
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:11,440
Rocky, no one wants to hear
about your hernia right now.
225
00:10:11,465 --> 00:10:13,612
You say that, but when
they hear the story,
226
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:14,640
they're always riveted.
227
00:10:14,665 --> 00:10:16,656
Dewey, are you sure you're okay?
228
00:10:16,657 --> 00:10:18,967
Mom, trust me. I'm fine.
229
00:10:18,992 --> 00:10:20,124
And were you okay?
230
00:10:20,149 --> 00:10:21,608
No.
231
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:25,058
And after dropping their opener to BYU,
232
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:26,708
the 'Canes look to pick up a win
233
00:10:26,709 --> 00:10:29,170
in their first home game of the season.
234
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:33,882
- Hey, brother.
- Hey, Mario.
235
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:35,133
Sorry you got hurt on that play,
236
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:37,469
but I want you to know I got your back.
237
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:38,470
Can't wait for you to get healthy.
238
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:39,627
We'll make each other great.
239
00:10:39,652 --> 00:10:41,473
Don't worry about it.
No hard feelings, brother.
240
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:44,268
Today I play for you.
241
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:47,229
Who's Vicki?
242
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:49,231
My mom's best friend
is going through a divorce.
243
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:50,857
Won't people think
you're honoring a girl
244
00:10:50,858 --> 00:10:52,860
named Vicki Johnson?
245
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:58,031
Well, you'll know it's half for you.
246
00:10:58,032 --> 00:10:59,699
All right, boys, gather up.
247
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:04,037
We're gonna go out there today,
248
00:11:04,038 --> 00:11:05,203
and we're gonna do three things.
249
00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:06,163
What's that?
250
00:11:06,188 --> 00:11:09,584
We gonna hit, stick,
and bust [Bleep]. What else?
251
00:11:09,585 --> 00:11:11,086
- Talk [Bleep]!
- What else?!
252
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:12,921
- Talk [Bleep]!
- What else?
253
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:14,756
- Talk [Bleep]!
- Let's go!
254
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,719
Man, you never want to be
the guy in jeans.
255
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:22,848
Oh, it was bad, Kenny.
256
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:26,393
And the jeans, they were wide.
257
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:29,062
It was the first big injury
I had experienced.
258
00:11:29,063 --> 00:11:30,897
So I did what I knew how to do.
259
00:11:30,898 --> 00:11:33,942
I hit rehab hard.
260
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:35,902
The gym was always my sanctuary.
261
00:11:35,903 --> 00:11:37,279
Outside of getting my shoulder healthy,
262
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,281
I didn't care about anything else.
263
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:40,949
I just couldn't get myself motivated
264
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:43,201
to prepare for games
that I wouldn't play in.
265
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:45,579
So I started blowing off team meetings,
266
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:47,497
started blowing off class.
267
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:49,249
My shoulder might have been
getting stronger,
268
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:50,685
but my mind wasn't.
269
00:11:51,681 --> 00:11:54,713
Mr. Johnson, something to add
to our conversation?
270
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,716
Yeah. I pressed B, but it didn't jump.
271
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,801
I was spiraling.
272
00:11:59,802 --> 00:12:01,136
Yo, you still playing Sega?
273
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:02,804
Don't you have a final tomorrow?
274
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:05,474
Yeah, at 6:00 a.m., worth 80%
of my grade.
275
00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:08,477
Seems like a lot of percent.
Shouldn't you study a little?
276
00:12:08,478 --> 00:12:11,271
I tried, but I just don't care.
277
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:14,316
All right. Obviously,
you're in a bad place.
278
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:16,902
But staying in this room
all day isn't helping.
279
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:18,487
We got to get your head straight.
280
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:21,156
- Yeah.
- Turn off the Sega.
281
00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:23,225
Let's me and you go grab some drinks
282
00:12:23,250 --> 00:12:25,494
and get into a fight.
283
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:29,397
I can't wait for you
to pretend to hold me back.
284
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:33,752
Yo, this is perfect.
Knock back some tequilas.
285
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,003
Throw some fists.
286
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,297
Yo, keep a lookout for some contenders.
287
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:39,799
- Violent Torso.
- Yo, The Conscience.
288
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,009
Where you been at, man?
289
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:42,469
I ain't seen you
at none of the meetings.
290
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:45,180
Uh, you know, I've been around.
291
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:46,348
Oh, okay.
292
00:12:46,349 --> 00:12:48,350
Well, what you standing
on line for, man?
293
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:50,685
'Canes don't wait in line.
Come on inside, baby.
294
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:52,647
Go.
295
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:56,804
Yo, why is he getting in?
He's not on the team.
296
00:12:56,829 --> 00:12:58,093
What'd you say?
297
00:12:58,118 --> 00:12:59,632
I said you're not on the team.
298
00:12:59,657 --> 00:13:01,780
I've seen every game,
and I have never seen you play.
299
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:04,157
Oh, is that right?
What do you think, Omar?
300
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:06,826
Should I show this guy I'm on the team?
301
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:08,662
No fighting here. If you want to throw,
302
00:13:08,663 --> 00:13:09,704
take it to Drunk Alley.
303
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:16,711
Hell yeah. Drunk Alley.
304
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:18,046
Let's go.
305
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:19,214
I don't think you want to do that.
306
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:20,966
You heard what he said to me, Omar.
307
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:22,384
This is why we're here, man.
308
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:24,386
I've seen this guy
at my judo tournaments.
309
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:25,887
He's past a black belt.
310
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:29,809
His belt goes up so high,
they ran out of colors.
311
00:13:32,687 --> 00:13:34,187
You know what?
312
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:36,064
I'm not even sure
I know what he said to me.
313
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:40,193
- Probably misheard.
- Couldn't have been that bad.
314
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:42,862
- Sorry. We're at capacity.
- What?
315
00:13:42,863 --> 00:13:44,197
You were just about to let us in.
316
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:45,573
I was here with my teammates.
317
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:47,075
Hey, Uncle Luke.
318
00:13:47,076 --> 00:13:51,413
- Oh, hey. Dan?
- Dwayne.
319
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:53,790
That's right. That's right.
That's right.
320
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:55,917
Hey, I heard you messed up your ankle.
321
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:58,253
My shoulder. I'm redshirting this year.
322
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,088
Yeah, I heard this place is hiring.
323
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:02,674
Maybe you can do security for Bongos.
324
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:05,219
I'll see you later, my man.
325
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:09,889
- Dude, where are you going?
- Far from here.
326
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:11,433
What about your final?
327
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,770
Miss Carla, your drunk ass
at the wrong door again!
328
00:14:15,771 --> 00:14:18,440
- Go home, Miss Carla!
- You're at 3B!
329
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:20,275
- Hey!
- Dewey!
330
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:21,318
Surprise!
331
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:23,111
What are you doing here?
Is something wrong?
332
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:24,779
Your Christmas break isn't for a week.
333
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:26,781
Oh, I'm fine. Everything's great.
334
00:14:26,782 --> 00:14:28,950
I finished finals early,
so I took the bus.
335
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:30,118
- The bus? Did you...
- Yes.
336
00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:31,453
I stayed awake the whole time
337
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:33,202
so nobody could put anything
in my mouth.
338
00:14:33,227 --> 00:14:34,311
Are you hungry?
339
00:14:34,336 --> 00:14:36,374
Want me to make your favorite,
steak and teriyaki wings?
340
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:39,294
Ma, it's almost midnight. Yes.
341
00:14:41,371 --> 00:14:42,496
Come here, boy.
342
00:14:42,521 --> 00:14:45,759
- Hey, TV looks good.
- Doesn't it?
343
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,553
We were looking forward to
watching you on it this season.
344
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,263
But hey, next year, right?
345
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:52,474
- Yeah, right.
- Did your momma tell you
346
00:14:52,475 --> 00:14:54,934
how many horizontal lines
this thing got?
347
00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:56,936
Boy, it's all about the amount
348
00:14:56,937 --> 00:14:59,190
of horizontal lines, son.
349
00:15:03,618 --> 00:15:06,587
Third down. Third and six...
350
00:15:06,642 --> 00:15:08,555
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, you're kidding me.
351
00:15:08,580 --> 00:15:09,657
That's PI.
352
00:15:09,658 --> 00:15:11,159
Breakfast wings.
353
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,161
Oh, you're the best, Mom. Thank you.
354
00:15:13,162 --> 00:15:14,576
So tell me about finals.
355
00:15:14,601 --> 00:15:17,850
- Which one was the hardest?
- Yeah, they were all hard.
356
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,668
Sorry. I'm just trying
to watch the game.
357
00:15:20,669 --> 00:15:23,338
Oh, sure. We'll talk later.
358
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:25,757
Mm-hmm.
359
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,675
I was happy to be home.
360
00:15:27,676 --> 00:15:30,095
away from all
the disappointments at Miami.
361
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:36,935
But that happiness didn't last.
362
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:01,501
Now by the time the ball
is thrown, Notre Dame...
363
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,627
Here, this is for your juice.
364
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:09,134
Hey, it's a nice day outside.
We could go see that gator,
365
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:11,386
see if they got ahold of
anymore fast-food containers.
366
00:16:11,387 --> 00:16:13,972
I'm kinda tired; I think
I'm just gonna watch the game.
367
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:20,395
Nowadays they'd call it depression.
368
00:16:22,731 --> 00:16:24,696
The sofa bed and the vacuum.
369
00:16:24,721 --> 00:16:25,900
But back then,
370
00:16:25,901 --> 00:16:27,402
the accepted medical term was...
371
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:30,071
- Hey. Snap out of it!
- What?
372
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:32,240
You've been sitting
on this couch for days.
373
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:35,201
Go out, get some air.
374
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:37,745
Ah! You didn't even look
through the booklet.
375
00:16:37,746 --> 00:16:39,956
Dad, I don't want to swim
with any dolphins.
376
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:42,417
You don't know what
you're saying right now.
377
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:45,211
When I come back, I want you
to pick out three fun things
378
00:16:45,212 --> 00:16:48,132
you want to do.
379
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,759
I talked to him. He's fine now.
380
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,596
He's not fine. Something's wrong.
381
00:16:54,597 --> 00:16:56,764
Well, maybe his shoulder's hurting
382
00:16:56,765 --> 00:16:58,057
or he's burned out from finals.
383
00:16:58,058 --> 00:17:00,518
Rocky, I am telling you something's off.
384
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:02,937
He's not himself.
He won't even talk to me.
385
00:17:02,938 --> 00:17:04,439
He keeps saying he's just tired,
386
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,275
but I know that's not true.
387
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:09,737
Okay, what should we do?
388
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:15,575
Look at us,
wearing each other's tank-tops.
389
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:18,119
Hey, Easy Money. You're looking good.
390
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,663
Hey, this is my kid
Dwayne I was telling you about.
391
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:22,165
Plays football for the U.
392
00:17:22,166 --> 00:17:25,293
- Dad, stop saying that.
- What? It's true.
393
00:17:25,294 --> 00:17:26,392
Technically, it's not.
394
00:17:26,417 --> 00:17:28,630
I haven't played a single snap
yet in a game.
395
00:17:28,631 --> 00:17:30,465
Ah, it's just a matter of time.
396
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:32,902
All right. What's going on with you?
397
00:17:32,927 --> 00:17:33,845
Nothing.
398
00:17:33,870 --> 00:17:35,620
Well, your mom thinks it's something.
399
00:17:35,645 --> 00:17:38,282
And I think she's right.
She's worried about you.
400
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:42,811
That's why we're at the gym.
It's a safe space. So talk.
401
00:17:42,812 --> 00:17:45,438
- I don't want to talk.
- Come on, son.
402
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:48,650
I know... hey, Tyree.
403
00:17:48,651 --> 00:17:49,984
Boy, when you gonna listen to me
404
00:17:49,985 --> 00:17:51,903
and get into bodybuilding?
Hey, this is my kid
405
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:54,072
I was telling you about,
plays football for the...
406
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:56,825
Dad, stop!
407
00:17:56,826 --> 00:17:58,159
I don't play football for Miami.
408
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,371
I'm barely on the team.
I wear jeans on gameday.
409
00:18:01,372 --> 00:18:03,373
Jeans? What do you mean?
410
00:18:03,374 --> 00:18:06,334
I haven't been to team
meetings in months, and...
411
00:18:06,335 --> 00:18:11,005
I didn't finish school early.
I blew off finals and left.
412
00:18:11,006 --> 00:18:12,674
I got injured in the last practice
413
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:14,008
before the season, Dad.
414
00:18:14,009 --> 00:18:16,469
The only freshman that was
gonna get on the field
415
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:17,929
and that one play...
416
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:20,974
Son, you can't dwell on that.
If you let yourself
417
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,351
get stuck there,
you're gonna stay stuck there.
418
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,645
I tried, but I can't get it
out of my head.
419
00:18:25,646 --> 00:18:27,772
Hmm.
420
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:32,026
That thing, that voice
in your head, that's fear.
421
00:18:32,027 --> 00:18:34,153
It's trying to make you doubt yourself,
422
00:18:34,154 --> 00:18:36,364
trying to steal your confidence.
423
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:37,657
But you can't let it.
424
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:40,618
You got to tune it out and keep going.
425
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:41,870
I don't know how.
426
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:44,414
Yeah, the how is different for everyone.
427
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:46,082
I spoke my dreams out loud.
428
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:49,002
That way,
I could try to live up to them.
429
00:18:49,003 --> 00:18:52,213
People can say a lot of stuff
about me, son.
430
00:18:52,214 --> 00:18:57,218
But the one thing they can
never say is that I gave up.
431
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:59,053
I always kept fighting.
432
00:18:59,054 --> 00:19:01,222
So is this the life you dreamed of,
433
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:04,392
sitting on your parents' couch
watching TV all day?
434
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:08,229
Because if it is, hey, you did it.
435
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:10,732
I'll get you some shifts driving trucks,
436
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:12,233
and then the fight can be over.
437
00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:14,194
Is that what you want?
438
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:18,699
Or do you want to keep fighting?
439
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:22,119
I want to keep fighting.
440
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:26,956
Wow. I'm surprised your dad
441
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:29,918
was so ahead of his time
as far as mental health goes.
442
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:32,086
Yeah, it surprised me too.
443
00:19:32,087 --> 00:19:36,257
And my dad was just letting me
know that I wasn't alone.
444
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:37,884
And that's what I want to share
with your audience, Kenny,
445
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:40,053
is that you're not alone.
446
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:41,721
If you're going through it
and you're struggling
447
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:42,931
and you're depressed, you're not alone.
448
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:44,599
And it's okay to ask for help.
449
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,100
And asking for help isn't a weakness.
450
00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:49,103
Asking for help
is actually our superpower.
451
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:51,105
- Amen to that, brother.
- Preach.
452
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:53,107
Now, I played for a lot of coaches.
453
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:55,401
Did your coaches have Rocky's
understanding and compassion?
454
00:19:55,402 --> 00:19:57,737
Like I said, it was
a different time back then.
455
00:19:57,738 --> 00:20:00,615
You blew off your classes
and your finals,
456
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:03,117
and you got a point-freaking-7 GPA.
457
00:20:03,118 --> 00:20:05,119
The dolphin they enrolled in classes
458
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:08,414
as a publicity stunt got a 0.9.
459
00:20:08,415 --> 00:20:11,292
I'm sorry I let you
and the team down, Coach.
460
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:13,127
But I'm gonna fight
to earn back your trust.
461
00:20:13,128 --> 00:20:14,629
Just get your ass back in shape,
462
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,297
show me that upper-body violence
463
00:20:16,298 --> 00:20:19,030
and you hit some
sum' bitches in the mouth.
464
00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:23,471
I need to stop chewing coffee.
465
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:26,808
I wasn't going to let
Coach O down or my family.
466
00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:28,713
I was ready to fight for my spot back.
467
00:20:28,738 --> 00:20:30,728
- Come on. Let's go.
- Go where?
468
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:34,983
I made us reservations
at Rene's Dolphin Palace.
469
00:20:34,984 --> 00:20:37,110
- Let's have a swim.
- For real?
470
00:20:42,157 --> 00:20:43,766
Thank you for helping our son.
471
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:48,219
Oh, bring your camera.
472
00:20:48,244 --> 00:20:52,834
I want to have a dolphin jump
over me while I look up.
473
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:54,002
Thanks for joining us, man.
474
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:55,503
I appreciate you coming here, Dwayne.
475
00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:58,624
Before I let you go, we got
a special surprise for you.
476
00:20:58,649 --> 00:21:00,341
What's up, man? I can't hear.
477
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:01,843
Yeah, tell him I can't hear him.
478
00:21:01,844 --> 00:21:03,428
- What do you say, man?
- It's Coach O.
479
00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:04,637
How's your pad level?
480
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:06,180
- Low. Low.
- Low man wins.
481
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:08,182
Low man wins.
482
00:21:08,183 --> 00:21:09,809
We've all had a learning curve
483
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,102
when it comes to head stuff.
484
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,937
But I've always respected how you fought
485
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:15,273
through hard times, Dewey.
You didn't quit.
486
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:18,860
Me and you've been down,
but we've never been out.
487
00:21:18,861 --> 00:21:20,862
That's so true, Coach.
I want to say thank you.
488
00:21:20,863 --> 00:21:22,613
And I love you. Thank you, Coach.
489
00:21:22,638 --> 00:21:25,099
Very proud of you.
And I love you too, son.
490
00:21:26,511 --> 00:21:28,012
Go, Tigers!
491
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:29,810
Wow. That was Coach O, everybody.
492
00:21:29,835 --> 00:21:31,397
All right, man.
493
00:21:31,451 --> 00:21:35,451
