always pair with uh my coffee i've just finished my coffee yeah i never had
alcohol uh no drugs

two or three a day and
this is actually even when i was playing when i was playing i would smoke
whether we lost whether
we won so you never had alcohol huh no i never never will man but did something
turn you off to
it when you were young i think it might have been my mom she drank yeah she oh
did she oh man she
drank like a fish you know morning morning noon night you know and seeing her
become somebody i
didn't even recognize i think that's why i steered away from it because it
always starts young anytime
you you you have an habit that you stay away from you have the discipline to do
it most people say
oh you're so disciplined no say no i'm not i saw something in my mom when i was
younger that let me
know you know what i'm not going down that path i just i just never did it and
did she is she still
alive no she passed away from alcohol poisoning from cirrhosis of the liver yep
2021 i never forget
and i knew that i i got that phone call i got that phone call and i knew
something was wrong because
it was family family members calling family members never call especially like
that back to back from
different family members and i kind of already knew what it was because my
brother had already called
so i already know nothing's wrong with him right and i i i had a feeling what
it was and
say come down to the house oh your mom is she's passed out they couldn't even
open the door
she was right there right there by the door and obviously the autopsy came back
and
she passed away drinking drink herself to death that's my baby though thanks

yeah man i uh you know i've been in recovery and struggling and over the years
from drinking
and a lot of my friends you know it's part of it's part of a lot of people's
universe these days yes
sir what uh and how do you try and i even have a family member we try i've done
intervention and
stuff did you guys ever try to do something like that is that hard as a son
because i bet it's kind
of tough with a parent because they're kind of you still have to look up to
them it was it was very
difficult and it was so difficult that i couldn't do it and she wouldn't listen
to me you know you
could lead a horse you could lead a horse to water but you can't make them
drink so she has to want to
get the help herself and they can't drink alcohol yep they listen and so i even
went as far as we
were on marriage boot camp but it was family edition i think it we tv i forgot
what it was it was a show
that you did yeah so her and i it's all about um a mother and son or a mother
and and whatever family
member it was you're trying to amend the relationship and whatever issues you
have so i took her on there
and more she cut a fool she cut a fool oh she didn't want to she cut a fool
obviously had alcohol
out they had all this stuff and it was her and i you know two weeks two weeks
straight we went through
different activities they had two therapists two doctors there and there there
it is right there
and man oh she's beautiful what's her name paula paula johnson we call her
hurricane paula

show early she didn't even finish the show she left early cuss the producers
out cuss the rest of the
castmates she didn't want it nah she she didn't want to get the help i wanted
man but that's my baby
there was a funeral scene we did there was a funeral scene we did uh-huh where
she was like
close the casket so it was me in a casket and how would she feel if i was to
pass away
oh man she showed out oh she showed out close the casket let his baby mama's
roll him in oh it was
hilarious oh she made it funny oh man it was no she was dead serious though oh
oh she was pissed
she was pissed so that that that was the introduction
yeah let him roll that close that bitch and let his baby mama's roll his ass up
out of here
yeah yeah and so people were that the world the world that's hilarious yeah the
world was introduced
to the hurricane
she didn't she didn't play an emotional response do you want that that look
alone she didn't take any
oh no no she didn't play doesn't work but did you get that i meant that watch
this listen i haven't
been a part of his life and he hasn't been a part of mine he got his kids and
baby mamas line them
up let him roll his ass you said he wanted to close the casket earlier no you
close it i don't work
for the funeral huh oh wow children come close sit down paula sit down paula
never you could never
tell paula today she's a legend oh she's a legend especially in our area we
have a thing
you're not really a friend of mine if you haven't been cursed out by my mom
that means you ain't been
around long enough and that that's how she was and we we loved her just like
that and i never got a
chance to say goodbye oh i never got a chance to say i love you but i had the
messages saved
before she passed away and it's her cursing me out yeah i mean let me have it
letting it rip like
paragraph paragraphs oh yeah and and i wouldn't want it any other way yeah i
wouldn't want any other
way because that's who she was that's who she was that's fair yeah i have a
family member they'll send
me like some of the texts they send in caps emojis things don't even make any
sense they'll be the
i can't even read it yeah i already know what it is right but at the same time
that's who they are
you know yeah you have to love people where they're at it's tough though that's
a tough time i think
so many people deal with that how do i love a family member that's struggling
you know because you
can even give them things i mean even if you're able to provide then yeah and
the funny thing about it is is
i had to stop the bleeding as well because an individual like that they would
use oh i'm your
mama as a reason for you to keep giving giving giving giving and the taker
doesn't know when to stop
it doesn't know when to stop and and there was no appreciation behind it
because no matter how much
i did it was always an issue so even at that point with mom i even had to deal
with her from from orange
length at a distance you know and it was cool we my grandma raised me so her
and i weren't really
eye to eye most of the time but man when when the times were good oh man they
were good but when it
was bad i know oh we talked about entertainment like her see her being on that
show was able to
introduce the world to who hurricane paula was and she was tv gold she was tv
gold oh dude that little
bit right there it almost reminds me of uh that girl that woman new york when
she was at her best remember
yes when she was at her best yes like her best moments remind me of something
just like that
oh that's interesting and at least you had that at least you have that also a
moment of you guys's
time together you know to look at i bet she was super proud of you though was
she able to express
that to you yeah absolutely she was proud of all the things i was able to
accomplish you know
obviously during during my days and uh nfl all the stuff i did off the field
but she was so
unpredictable the i couldn't take her to important stuff oh yeah because you
know red carpet stuff
like that i i couldn't have her in those room because i don't know what paula
was going to show
up i didn't know which mom was going to show up and i didn't want her to to
embarrass me in those
moments um moments that would be we're supposed to be celebrating whatever
achieving it may be but
listen if the wrong person is there she sees she might snap yeah it doesn't
care about their
surroundings or the environment so i had to be cautious she'll get a pass in
her she'll get a
defensive pass interference man quick and don't care and don't care
Thank you.
