Man, what's happening, man? You got Marshawn, B-smile, Lynch.

Doug Hendriksen. And Gavin Newsom, and you're listening to Politiqu.

You're on the beat.

You're on the beat.

Marshawn.

Hell, no, Gavin, why the fuck you ain't running for President, bro?

No, we're going to get to that. Fuck that, man. Hey.

I'm sorry.

Did anything happen this weekend? Anything happen in the last 48 hours, Marsha?

Something happened.

Something happened. By the way, what have you guys been up to the last 40 hours? Doug, what the hell have you been up to?

Well, let me tell you about my week, Gavin. A couple of things. I've been drinking alcohol Spritz is watching my daughter's volleyball tournament, Hermosa Beach. By the way, beautiful part of California. Hermosa Manhattan Beach. Fantastic. That ain't bad. I just did a huge contract for a client, Kenny Clark of the Packers.

I just flew to New York. We love Kenny.

We love Kenny. Good kid. I just flew to New York for about a four-hour meeting. Of course, Jet Blue meant lay down Airlines, which is great. So I had a few cocktails in that as well. And I just got back, Marshawn. And you've been doing some Amazon football stuff, right, Marshawn?

Hell, no, man. And I' You're now taking me out of the game on offense and only putting me back in for defense.So then I catch the ball. Was this the only game you've been screwed up like this?Oh, totally. Like, gone. And so we went game four, and I literally went up to Steph after the game and was like, Yo, thank you. I got you. I got you in game five, and then we're going to come back here in game six, and these boys done. And that's exactly what happened. But, man, I was gone. There was no better feeling than the way I bounced back in game six. Oh, yeah. And watching their fans, some of them walk out the arena and watching some of them sit there disgust, watching us celebrate the Championship on their floor.Marshawn, you have any... You ever had that experience? I mean, at that level, the crowds, they just got in your head in a different way?Oh, no, not with the crowd. No, it I'll say it's a little different, considering the distance from the crowd to the field. And then, I mean, you know how I'm locked in. Even if it was a situation where I did. In Buffalo, we were playing in Philly, and one of the fans told me, Hey, fuck you, you Black motherfucker. Go get back in in a fucking car and go and hit somebody.It's like, what the fuck is going on?You know what I mean? That was the closest to something I had like that.Well, Draymond, it got so bad for Marsha. I don't know if you know the story back from Marshawn in Buffalo. His second year there, he would literally be in the player's parking lot, okay? And ten in windows, music playing loud. The cops would pull him over when he left the player's parking lot and give him a ticket for ten in windows and the music being too loud. This This started happening. So Mar'Shawn, so I'm like, You know what? If I don't get him out of Buffalo, he may not ever get out of Buffalo. You know what I'm saying? His career may be done. And they would follow him home, all these different things. At one point, I yelled at a cop. Publicly, I said a cop in Buffalo was a racist, rogue cop. And this cop sued me for basically calling him out for defamation. Luckily, I found out he didn't pay his taxes.Oh, man.Oh, wow. And my lawsuit was dismissed.Yeah, so we got real bad. But it got bad.That's how I love to work right there, though.But it got bad in Buffalo for him.He was doing his agent shit at that time. Yes, I was. But real talk, though, bro. I mean, with all that shit going on. The story you just tell it. How are you doing mentally, though, bro? With everything going on for the position that you in right now, just realistically, aside from Everything or what the public know or that you might post or you might put out there. How are you doing mentally, though?I'm in a great space, man. I'm doing great. But boy, last year was one of the hardest years of my life. And it really took me to a real fucked up space mentally. In going through everything that I I went through last year, I think it took me to such a bad space because basketball is one thing. You know what I'm saying? If I'm honest, you know me well. The person that I am when I'm competing, it's not the same person that I am on a daily basis. I can be that person at any time. You can push me to that point, but I'm way more calm on a day to day basis than I am on the basketball court. I'm competing. It wake up a totally different beast. But regardless of who I am on the basketball court or whatever, the things that people started to question and say about me that was affecting people around me really started to get to me. You can say what you want about me. That's fine. I've I've heard these things for years on in of the things that people had to say in their thoughts about me.I can deal with those. But when this starts to affect people around me, in particular, my children, Some of the things that my kids will come home and ask me or say to me that's been asked to them or said to them at school, it's like, damn. That started to tear me out. That started to really It bogged me down mentally. I really start taking therapy, going to therapyhow many times it is. When I got to that point, I felt institutionalized, right? So after the first time I had retired, when I had this time to myself and it was on me to make a schedule, I was clueless because I'm used to, at this point in time, I got to do this. At this point in time, I got to get ready to go and get ready for OTAs or mini camp or whatever. And, I mean, realistically, what I did was, I short-changed myself by being in a league, just not preparing myself for what comes after that. So if it was be anything that I would give to younger players, it would be, don't take this time or while you're in a lead to understand how to schedule a time for your sofa a day, because that shit was so hard for me, bro.And when you talk about the mental aspect of everything and how that shit started to weigh on you and how it started to tear you down, I could not plan a day for myself. So when I went back to the Raiders, I took an opportunity to learn some shit about myself in order to schedule times for me to do certain things or just to go through the day as a person because we've been, like I said, institutionalized. So if it's something that I would give to you is not to take for granted the opportunity that you have right now at your fingertips for when you're done. But it's something that you are doing right now that I think you are 10 steps ahead of the game because you are actually doing something that's going some money. That's great. And we're all looking for great investments, and there's no better investments in sports teams right now.I want to help win. Sports is fun, but there's nothing like winning in sports. You're You talk about a feeling that is hard to reproduce through anything else. Winning in sports, there's no better feeling. So for me, Absolutely. So for me, if I can be involved in team ownership, but involved in a way that I can help usher in some things from my perspective that I think can help win, I'd love to do that. And by the way, I've been in it now for 13 years. I think the whole time. That ain't been on God, bro.Is that what this whole damn thing was about?You're trying to get it. This is all about me.You're still trying to put his- Damn agent. His envelope in the hat, Doug. There you go. Get that shit, bro.That's over now, man. No, Drimal, we love you, bro. We love you, man. And have a great rest this summer. Thank you. And great season next year. We'll see you soon.All right. I appreciate you all, fellows. Thank you all for having me on. Really appreciate it, man. Okay.Man, make sure you tell Miles, I said, What's happening? I'm going to hit it from my new Jack, too, bro.Okay. Bet that. I'll let her know. Oh, God. I appreciate you all.It was great, brother.Thank you. All right. Thank you. No problem.

You're now taking me out of the game on offense and only putting me back in for defense.

So then I catch the ball. Was this the only game you've been screwed up like this?

Oh, totally. Like, gone. And so we went game four, and I literally went up to Steph after the game and was like, Yo, thank you. I got you. I got you in game five, and then we're going to come back here in game six, and these boys done. And that's exactly what happened. But, man, I was gone.
