Cam Newton | BET Awards 2024 | Karlous Miller & Navv Greene

hey man welcome back to the 85 sou show we are live here at the 2024 BET Awards Carlos Miller my man the shift leader nav green and we are in here with none other than qb1 qb1 Cam Newton you did you did hell yeah what's been going on G man I just trying to catch up to y'all mustard bro you feel me y'all creating some great ass content bro and y'all doing it y' way and I think from my world having the ability to evolve and understand like oh them [ __ ] they doing it they talking about sports in a very unique entertaining impactful way that's what I want to do too you know what I'm saying I always know I couldn't play football forever so now transitioning into this content space is something that is always you know what I'm saying the page to learn from so bro every time I watch your show and you say something about like football or the quarterbacks or how you see it why why these [ __ ] get so upset like you ain't like you just talking out your ass you like you ain't MVP like why these [ __ ] feathers get so Ru when you say these [ __ ] is game managers and [ __ ] like that but you got to understand little bit old me was the talk of all sports so it just empowers me to let me know that they listening oh okay so it don't matter cuz I did it at a high Lev you know what I'm saying and I just asked a question did you but needless to say absolutely but when you was playing you know what I'm saying you had to hear the criticism hear them say all that and they couldn't do the [ __ ] but you done did the [ __ ] so you you able to speak on yeah I mean this is the thing though a lot of times we talk about the person who who's giving the take and not just the take you know what I'm saying cuz I look at football a little different not just like through the the TV copy that everybody man why he do that or why he get sacked he was sacked because he wasn't protected because he I ID the wrong person that's his fault or the line didn't Slide the right way he should have seen the nickel or the safety rotating so the pressure obviously was coming from the right side but he slid the line to the left so this is the only [ __ ] you would know if you was actually in the trenches and you had to go through that for sure but you know they always they they always think athletic quarterbacks are incapable of articulating the game from the neck up so like you just running now let me ask you this what what are some of the observations you made about the game and Sports in general since you stepped on the other side man you know one thing is we've now taken the content so serious that we are now having to invest in real writers real bloggers real spaces where we can talk about it as much as we want to because I also you know give major props to the bar stools of the world uh give major props to the pivot uh give major props to all the smoke Pro uh Productions like these guys are doing is delivering Sports in a way that that we've never seen before cuz we've always consumed ESPN right yeah ESPN ESPN and ESPN Fox too you know what I'm saying but for us we have a story to tell too coming from a person who's played it whether basketball football baseball podcast or owning our own production gives us the ability to control our narrative absolutely so tell me this cam like cuz you showing your personality like we saw that on the field like you know I mean you would dance after you score and stuff like that but like what got you into doing the podcast in general like I'm just G to start like the um honestly the check wasn't adding up and you know they kept lowballing me and respectfully they still lowballing me so it's like what you don't want to pay for I can make that on on YouTube you know what I'm saying and I see other deals getting done and I'm like how we not getting that or why am I not getting that you can't say because I ain't got the resume right you see what I'm saying but somebody gonna say oh look at you k you you too selfish it's about me me me well that's cool I can say a slogan right now that makes everybody understand where I'm coming from I want to make content that appeases not only to Buckhead but also Bankhead Atlanta talk come on you feel me so and you ain't got to be from Atlanta to understand that so I make content for my kind and if you don't want to hire me because of I wear my hair the way I wear my hair I wear a bow or I wear clothes or where I want to wear clothes I never dressed or never did anything in my life to blend in and I'm not making content to blend in it's like yo like listen to my content because you're going to get empowered you're going to be entertained and you're going to be informed and I'm going to give you that the same way that ESPN is or linear TV has done and it's not to say that I'll never do it it's just like I know what I'm worth so if you're not willing to give me that then would you would you play ball again though if they called with the right situation would you even want to do it but let's just be honest though bro I ain't played football in four years I ain't getting no younger so I probably do this [ __ ] all the time and they call Tim C and be like hey man [ __ ] yeah but that ain't Cam Newton yeah cam I ain't gonna lie I I know you was at your uh you still got it though yeah yeah see how they you saw the blitz [Laughter] coming he a lost the step he lost the step look look n i identified the mic real quick we identifi and slid the whole protection you know what I'm saying but now man you know I think for us bro we got to do right by ourselves you know what I'm saying cuz a lot of people was like man why you even out there it's like bro cuz when I grew up I ain't see folks real [ __ ] like that that I could touch that I could talk to that I could just be like yo that's and that motivate somebody like man cam came back for sure like man I do that when I grew up in Atlanta and was playing football Middle School Michael Vic was that [ __ ] and he was in outside by himself he was he that so but I ain't never seen Michael Vic around and and it's not because of who he was it was because I didn't had the resources to said I ain't go to no goddamn Georgia don't to watch a game I did but I was all the way up there you don't know who that was [ __ ] nothing can stop me I'm all the way I was up there with them tickets you feel me yeah but yeah man I just I always wanted to render myself to my community and let them know like bro if I can do it bro you can do it and you can't just say but cam you no bro hell no cuz I did what I did to give hope to folks coming from where I'm come from man one thing I really respect about you though is like the way that you're approaching this and writing and creating your own narrative man and just not letting that be the end of the story like that ain't the last you you know most [ __ ] they step away from the game you never see them again but you actually out here and you you still active and you got a passion for something else I mean look at y'all [ __ ] like bro who that ever thought a [ __ ] would see three [ __ ] on the stage that's just improv jokes and just selling out Arenas and doing that and they all getting along it ain't no family feuding like bro like we always have had a way to innovate you see what I'm saying now with the way content is being distributed through platforms like Facebook Instagram Tik Tok as well as YouTube it's one of them situations that bro you don't you just got to be committed to to that bro and at the end of the day you don't have nobody else to blame because I put like this when I grew up or [ __ ] five years ago let alone 10 years ago who the [ __ ] was a kasinet right who [ __ ] was a dusi level respectfully so now I'm looking at K saying damn bro like how the [ __ ] is he doing that drei how the hell is he doing that [ __ ] DC on fly [ __ ] Carlo like all y'all [ __ ] bro I'm saying to myself like damn bro I have a lot and doing less with more [ __ ] that have less are doing more and there and they don't have nobody to blame but just they give an opportunity they got a camera they got a laptop they got a and they going crazy with it so they're owering even me just looking at it and it's something that that needs to be studied and and also trying to be perfected as well man that's that's hard yeah that's a respect level for you to even say it's other people that can motivate you know what saying love cuz I know dog like you can get into a phase bro and I don't think I ever was there but it made it it made or people tried to paint the narrative like oh bitter or Cam is about him he's selfish but it's like no if you really know me you know I'm the polar opposite I always try to show love I always try to learn and I'm not afraid to give people their props you know what I'm saying nor do I gatee it's like bro anybody who listens I'm telling you bro if you got a camera if you got something bro do it and content comes in many different shapes and forms absolutely you don't just got to be the person that you're seeing right now you can be the person behind the scenes you can be the writer you could be the editor and they're getting compensated at the alltime high now so what are you doing and this is on YouTube University on Siri Institute on Google uh uh uh College like bro like there's no reason for you not to succeed because it's so accessible right my my mama used to say boy don't be a dummy with a smartphone hey now that's that'sa what it is bro you got you don't have no excuse man you got everything you need to have everything you want yeah shut we love content man and then the stories that you be telling like even you talking about with your dad in the grill and stuff like that like it's just like watching you know you ain't lying you know what I'm saying this is the thing though bro like I think football has done a lot of great things for me financially you know giving me a lifestyle but it also crippled me too because I played a mass sport which if you don't know who certain players are you be like yeah who the [ __ ] is that big Buff Ass [ __ ] right there super neck ass boy big ass boy heavy leg you know what I'm saying like all these different things where basketball players you know who the you see their face face bro now everybody wearing face Shields and F like you don't know who that is you know what I'm saying not everybody's not lucky like Tom Brady Payton Manning you know what I'm saying Odell where he's like oh that's him right there he play football so now going into this realm of content it's like bro you gotta reinvent your whole self because people don't all know who the [ __ ] you are it's a hell of a way to approach that man we can really sit here and talk this [ __ ] all day bro we gotta link back up when we get back to the city that interview you did with DC was dope as hell yeah bro I I knew that cuz I always you know what I'm saying told I know he was in the wave to like everybody bro it's like it's not that you don't want to do it it's just if your schedule and I so excited because I know he got church roots and I ain't afraid to tell people like I grew up in the church I ain't one of these that's gr to do man they have [ __ ] growing up you know what I mean but it was one of them situations that I was like bro if you give me an opportunity to sit alongside with you bro I'mma do my best to tell your story and that's what I try to do with funky Friday you know what I'm saying with not only just informing people but entertaining them as well and then even with fourth and one obviously you know what I'm saying uh a host as well Peggy it's like they come for the sports but they stay for the story so when I'm talking about my grill when I'm talking about growing up in church when I'm talking about Polo boots and when I'm talking about Jordans and certain things Polo boots was a game Chang they don't even know how that was sure team clubs like bro for sure like [ __ ] I was there putting your jeans inside your damn Polo wearing SL the Buckle undone you know what I'm saying making
