00:12and these are 10 Things I Can't Live Without.

00:19Coming from where I come from,

00:20being a dirty young bull is just like a no-go.

00:26I started carrying the hand sanitizer

00:29because as like I started blowing up,

00:31more people started touching me,

00:33and when people touch me, it like give me the ick.

00:34If someone come and grab my shoulder

00:36or like come grab my, wanna shake my hand

00:38or something like that, like,

00:39I gotta squeeze down real quick.

00:41Being a 250-pound guy, sun's out, I'm sweating.

00:45Deodorant runs fast.

00:46That's instantly in the bag.

00:49When I don't got my Invisalons in,

00:50and I'm out with the guys, I'm going out to it.

00:52All toys got a little bit of sugar,

00:54it hangs in Invisalons.

00:55This helps me better with my Invisalons,

00:57the Listerine strips.

00:58I'm gonna put it like this, like,

00:59it's a vibe when you got your brethren checked.

01:02Vibes love a dude who got some type of gum,

01:05mint, Listerine.

01:07For the people that don't know what vibes are,

01:09that could be the guys, the females, like,

01:11just air vibe.

01:12Like, if you having dinner with the vibes,

01:15this is the next most important thing, bro.

01:17You gotta have the floss picks.

01:19And then these, I keep in the whip,

01:21I keep in the duffy.

01:23I'm somewhere where I'm not going to have

01:25the toilet paper I need.

01:26The wet wipes is super essential, bro.

01:29These are my kids' joints.

01:30Sometimes you got snacks when the dude wipes run out.

01:33The food might run through me at the restaurant.

01:35I'm at the park.

01:37These right here save your life, bro.

01:39Save your life.

01:41Honestly, I fell in love with boxing,

01:43because my OG, Amar Cooper.

01:45Boxing's been, like, one of the best workouts you can do,

01:47especially as a pass rusher.

01:48And then I started researching into the sport.

01:50I really just fell in love with the sport of boxing, man.

01:52It's been real eye-opening for me.

01:54I understand these guys are true warriors.

01:56These guys who fall in love with their craft,

01:58they die in that ring.

01:59I just support everything they do.

02:01My top boxers right now,

02:02it's Bud Crawford, Earl Spence,

02:05Javonte Tate Davis,

02:06Ryan Garcia,

02:08Demetri B-Ball.

02:09It's a bunch of guys right there, right now,

02:11that I'm like, man, these guys is the real deal.

02:13If I was the boxer, I'm dropping down to 200.

02:16I'm dropping down to the Cruiserweight.

02:17Them dudes is just too big.

02:19I just seen what happened to my dog, Jerry Anderson.

02:22When they face some real heavyweights

02:23that ain't really moving, walk you down.

02:26Long arm reach.

02:27I got 34-inch arms, you know what I mean?

02:28So, a sloppy boxing match?

02:30Yeah, I'd definitely do a sloppy boxing match.

02:31Jake Paul, I want to line it up.

02:33We can do that.

02:34Logan Paul, we can do that.

02:36Ocho Cinco, we can do that.

02:38Post-football, post-football.

02:39Not everything here, but I'm a big board game person.

02:44Whether it's categories, monopoly, taboo,

02:48I feel like I'm endless.

02:50You've got to have a deep vibe in board games.

02:52But these two right here, I feel like people would say,

02:55uno, look, I got my own house rules.

02:57We're putting draw twos on draw twos.

02:59Fours goes on fours.

03:01The wild card, the blank, could be anything you want.

03:03I say you can't max it.

03:05You can't be doing draw tens, draw twos,

03:08just the wild stuff that's just not realistic.

03:11And then, I'm going to tell you a little story about Connect Four.

03:14I used to go to my homie's house, and his granddad was big in Connect Four and checkers.

03:20So, we used to use the Connect Four pieces as like the checker pieces.

03:23And, you know, they dog walked me.

03:25Like, they used just Connect Four and checkers.

03:28So, I was like, okay, I'll be back.

03:30So, I went down on my phone, bought the game,

03:33and I just started playing the computer, like, nonstop.

03:35Like, learning strategy, learning where I want to place it,

03:38how to think ahead, how to build up, just everything imaginable.

03:42So, I didn't have to go through that feeling again.

03:44I went back two weeks later, dog walked everybody.

03:46Like, that's just how competitive I am.

03:48He only won't play me no more because I tried too hard.

03:51Same thing with the Uno, bro.

03:52Like, I just don't really don't like to lose.

03:54Like, it'll ruin my whole night if I lose.

03:56I'm like, dead nice.

03:57Everybody in my family, friends know they're like,

04:00yo, we're going to play Mike and Connect Four.

04:02Like, people call me and be like,

04:04yo, I want you to play this person Connect Four.

04:08Especially as an athlete, besides just this,

04:10like, I only drink, like, coconut water,

04:12like, watermelon water, like, lemon water.

04:15Like, I only drink things that's adding to the benefit.

04:18Like, when I'm drinking, I want to drink vitamin D.

04:20I want magnesium and I want some zinc in it.

04:22Like, I ain't just drinking, just drinking.

04:24Like, I'm drinking health as well.

04:25Like, I'm drinking two, three booster shots every day.

04:29Immune joint, ginger, cayenne, turmeric, edelberry.

04:33Like, I used to always get sick.

04:34And as soon as I started getting on my immune game

04:36and drinking what I'm supposed to drink,

04:38I have not been sick since.

04:39It has to be Mountain Valley.

04:41It has to be in a glass bottle.

04:43There's cancerous things in plastic water bottles.

04:45I hate to tell y'all, but I can't drink plastic water.

04:48Listen, when I talk about hygiene,

04:52this incorporates Doritos.

04:55That's why you got to add odd toys and Listerine strips.

04:57You talking about, like, favorite snack.

04:59I got to have some chips now.

05:00I'm definitely going with my Doritos.

05:02Huge essential, grapefruit on the road.

05:04And another essential that I always keep

05:05is that grass-fed beef jerky.

05:07My actual one homeboy, we flying to Australia.

05:09He's like, yo, why you got two big bags

05:11of grass-fed beef jerky and you carry them?

05:14I was like, bruh, worst come to worst.

05:16I know I'm going to have some snacks.

05:18I'm going to be very prepared.

05:19Because before I was a young boy, you know,

05:21you pack everything underneath the plane like you good.

05:24Everything's coming with me.

05:25That's why that bag is so important.

05:27Like, I'm not going nowhere without a bag.

05:29Like, besides getting stuck, man,

05:30if the plane go down, I'm good.

05:32You need to survive.

05:33Because if that thing go down,

05:34if some reason we're in a desert or we're in,

05:37you know, somewhere icy,

05:39I don't want to hear, yo, I know you got that beef jerky.

05:42Let me get a piece.

05:42I'm like, nah, you're going to be wolf meat.

05:44So always keep a little jacket.

05:46You know, change the sweatsuit in case you got

05:48stacked up in the cold.

05:49I'm telling you, change your life.

05:50Ain't that spicy Doritos too?

05:52The purple bag?

05:53Purple bag's dummy.

05:55Dummy.

05:57I'm not going to lie,

05:58I have to play at least two, three hours a day.

05:59Or maybe even longer.

06:00Sometimes, bruh, I could wake up at 6 a.m.

06:02and play at 6 a.m.

06:03Like, every day I got to be able to play.

06:05Unless, like, you know, I'm in tune to family.

06:08I got to put my family first, my kids first.

06:10Like, I get that, but when I got that downtime,

06:14I'm trying to boot up with the homies and play.

06:15I'm Xbox mainly.

06:17I go Xbox off of preference.

06:19I think it just feel better.

06:20It play better.

06:21But I got the P5 in case somebody talk crazy about Madden,

06:24NCAA, something like that.

06:25I can boot up right away.

06:27It's actually crazy because a lot of my friends say, like,

06:29bro, it looks like you're never having fun playing.

06:31Because how angry I get at the game.

06:34And that's just me though.

06:35Like, if I'm not winning, I'm angry.

06:37Like, I'm cussing at the screen.

06:38Like, I ain't never breaking a controller.

06:41Ain't nobody ever had me, like, that livid.

06:43But, like, I've been times where, like, I'm just like,

06:45all right, I'm turning my Xbox on.

06:46I'm done.

06:47Like, like, I'm done.

06:50Lights, camera, action right here.

06:52Man, I just started this vlog life.

06:55And this has probably been, like, the best thing I could have ever done.

06:58I always tell a lot of my homeboys about all these crazy experiences

07:01that we get to live at athletes.

07:02Who we meet, what we encounter, what the places we go.

07:05All of them just like, yeah, like, it sound cool.

07:08Like, sound great.

07:09I'm glad you have fun.

07:10But, like, when you can show them the footage,

07:13it's a completely different game.

07:15They're all like, why didn't I go?

07:16I'm going next time.

07:17Like, we all take pictures.

07:18Like, people love pictures.

07:19Like, we take a thousand.

07:21Like, I got 40,000 pictures in my photo gallery.

07:23Now I could create my own moment in time.

07:25Like, I can have everything about how it happened,

07:27who it went, what the conversation was.

07:29And I always tell people, like, people like,

07:30man, you doing it for YouTube, you doing it for this.

07:32I'm like, I could put on YouTube some of it.

07:34But, like, honestly, this is really for me.

07:36For me to look back on my life, I'm like,

07:37yo, like, I was really doing this.

07:39Like, I really experienced this.

07:41Dude, like, I love to record.

07:42I love to document.

07:44I'm going to get it all on my little keypad.

07:46I'm going to give it to my son one day.

07:47And be like, here, you just watch this by yourself.

07:53You already been hearing it.

07:55The bag.

07:55It's either the Dior black book bag or this Dior duffel bag.

07:59Off rip.

08:00Got the deweys in there.

08:01The water, super essential.

08:03But the ultimate that really saved my life

08:05is this baby right here.

08:07I'm going to even shout out this brand, Anchor.

08:09You made a hell of a product.

08:11It's hella expensive.

08:12On Amazon right now, they're like $160, $180.

08:14When I tell you it's worth every dollar,

08:16you get two fast C chargers.

08:18It actually charges my vlog camera too.

08:21I get so many chargers out of this.

08:23Even on flights, like, you know, you only get one outlet.

08:25I'm charging my headphones.

08:26I'm charging my iPad.

08:28I'm pretty much doing whatever.

08:29And I still have battery.

08:31Stupid important.

08:32And if you don't got these, you need these two.

08:34The noise cancellation just separates itself.

08:36You don't hear none of that ruckus, none of that BS on flights.

08:39Super essentials.

08:40Always carry you a 10 footer on you.

08:43And obviously the hairbrush coming with me everywhere I go.

08:45Gotta get the ways right.

08:47I mean, this is one of the best things you can have.

08:51Super easy, but you can pack anything.

08:55What can I not say about these Ray-Bans?

09:00This is another little small glimpse.

09:02A small, like, lights, camera, action.

09:04One, I could document the movie.

09:06Like, it's recording right now.

09:07Like, y'all say what's up.

09:08They Bluetooth too.

09:10Yeah, so you got the Bluetooth.

09:12So, like, you ever see, like, somebody just vibing?

09:14You like, damn, they just real vibing.

09:17Like, I just be, like, in my own zone.

09:20Like, people be like, yo, how you doing?

09:23And I'm like, ah, I got music in my ear.

09:25And people, because they don't got no, you know what I mean?

09:27Adidas is a super vibey video, little phone.

09:30You can take pictures with them.

09:32I use these for a lot of various things.

09:37I'm sponsored by Adidas, so I am very biased.

09:39I am very biased.

09:41But Adidas is the most stepped on brand.

09:43When I tell you they got heat, super comfy, true to size.

09:46Honestly, my feet game since I've been with Adidas has really skyrocketed, bro.

09:51If I'm putting a fit together, I'm one of them people where it's, like, not too much.

09:54I'm going to let the shoes work.

09:55My shoes is probably one of the most essential things.

09:58I got a lot of sneakers.

09:59I didn't have a lot of sneakers growing up.

10:00You know how moms was.

10:02You get two pair of sneakers a year, and one was the hoop shoes.

10:05So now I got hella hoop shoes, hella walk around shoes.

10:08I got all the Sambas, the Stan Smiths, the Rockstar Shells, the 762 SLs, where I got the Robberies.

10:17Man, I got special collabs they did with Bathing 8, Gucci, everything you can think of.

10:22Like, now when I pack my bags, like, I don't even pack designer.

10:25Like, I don't do none of that.

10:26I deed it out.

10:27I can only imagine what it was like back in the day when they actually had the Yeezys in store,

10:31the human races.

10:33If I was in that era, oh my God, my collection would be so dumb.

10:36You know, GQ, I appreciate y'all for having me, and I'll see y'all next time.
