uh hey let's welcome in a long time
friend of mine
uh superstar tv personality uh demetria
overlord
um follow her on instagram follow her on
twitter uh
like michael you know we we call
ourselves in this business we call
ourselves
talent say talent you know i'm i'm i'm
talent but like
we throw it around rather liberally like
dimitri is legit
talent like has a lot of different
skills a lot of different interests
a lot of versatility uh so needs no
introduction to a lot of people but this
is her brother from another debut so
it's good to have you
uh you were standing by and listening to
us uh talking about tiger and just
reacting to
his accident and the coverage just what
was your what are your thoughts what was
your reaction when you saw the accident
and over the last day since we've been
able to process it ever so slightly
well first of all mike and michael thank
you so much for having me on the show
i'm so
excited to be here and i mean you you're
asking me just
last night like you know what did you
want to talk about on the show and
obviously tiger woods trending at the
top of every news story
and to see i mean i mean one of the best
you know athletes of all time and that
kind of critical
injury somebody that we've you know had
in our lives for so many years
looked up to have just followed his
personal stories and as a journalist and
i know that was kind of a little bit of
a debate amongst you
and michael about compassionate
journalism
and i think that there is a way to
report a story that is very tasteful and
that you avoid
the salaciousness and the beginning
stages of the report
i think a lot of journalists are very
concerned with you know getting those
retweets
and saying well you know does this
happen something to do with
past history why was it a single car
accident or could it be a drugs
i just think it could be extremely
disrespectful to
tiger woods and of course his family and
i think that we can do better than that
and as a you know journalist who's in
the game for
over six years now i've seen journalism
at its worst but i've also seen
amazing amazing writers journalists who
do amazing things and covering these
sorts of stories and so
when i saw that and if i'm writing that
story up i'm like is tiger woods
okay thoughts prayers to the family what
can we do to help
let me let's talk and so that's the kind
of conversation i
kind of wanted to see on social media
but of course you're going to get all
aspects of it everything from you know
every end of the spectrum the concern
yeah of my list when it comes to some
story of someone being heard critically
yeah sorry my video's off because you
know i got it
no no no it's 20 21 don't worry about it
you're good
look our cameras drop all the time like
this
we can handle that and we just keep
going and we just keep going and
so no problem we can hear you and so if
we if
you if your image catch up to your voice
six or seven seconds later
it's all good um let me ask you though
about
tiger the golfer or tiger
the cultural icon what has he meant to
you
as a journalist what has he meant to you
as a fan
as a citizen just put tiger in
perspective if you can for you
oh man you know i'm a 90s baby
i'm a millennial you grow up with tiger
woods i'm gonna be honest with you
golf is not one of my favorite sports my
dad watches it all the time and i just
want to watch cartoons
but tiger woods seeing him on that box
of wheaties because you know i love my
cereal
i'm i'm not even somebody who likes
wheaties i'm more cinnamon to toast
crunch person but to see somebody iconic
like that as a kid from such a young age
and these sort of commercial places i
mean you just kind of grow attached to
him
and i think in recent years what i've
really liked is this comeback story of
tiger woods and it's
courses personal hardships his struggles
and things that he's had to overcome
and just me as a an adult in this world
and
just appreciating the you know tenacity
of tiger woods
and i love this video i'm sure you guys
saw it there was this video of tiger
woods that somebody had edited he was
just looking down at an ipad
and he was watching news story after
news story journalist after journalist
commentary
about how he's done you know he's dead
he's not coming back this old tiger
woods was never coming back and he just
had the smirk
this smurf because he did come back and
he proved all of these people wrong and
i can't even imagine
what it feels like to have this sort of
you know so to speak of someone describe
a fall from grace in the public eye
because of
his you know extramarital relations and
you know
other you know issues with sobriety and
i just love that i think america loves
that comeback kid type story they love
that shot at redemption and so
that's what i think of what i think of
tiger woods and of course his black
excellence
you you can't it'll be taught you think
some golf you think of tiger woods at
least that's my generation and i
i think i could speak for the
millennials on this one you think golf
you think tiger
and it's just so amazing and to think
about a sport where you don't see a lot
of
you know diversity you know initially
and that sort of representation and what
tiger means
to the black community and i i i love
him for that and i respect him for that
so when i see a story like this i'm just
like
you know prayers up thinking of tiger
especially considering you know the
people that we lost last year
tragic accidents you know it's been a
crazy stretch
yeah no it's been a crazy stretch i
think about chappelle show and uh
yes check this out though pro tip
because you said you're more of a
cinnamon
toast crunch person pro tip you haven't
tried it
cinnamon toast crunch and lucky charms
thank me later i'm passing this wisdom
along
cinnamon toast crunch and lucky charms
okay
it is you get your diabetes on the spot
but it's good okay
so you take care of yourself but it's
good just try it once but you know who
you know what put me on to that i'm
transitioning to a story you know
no cam newton put me onto that cam
newton
talked about it and i was like oh my god
that's so good
speaking of cam newton as you know he
was in the news
a lot the last couple of days because of
the
viral interaction between um the young
man uh
jay seth i believe is his name and uh
and cam at his 707 camp right
and it spawned not only a lot of
reaction but a lot of think pieces i
mean people are really talking about it
and it went from the kid who since
apologized went from the kid in respect
and
you know this that any other to now the
spotlight is on
us as in the reaction to the issue and
whether we went too hard on the kid
collectively as just the public i wonder
what you think of a the incident
and b how the kid was treated
publicly how the incident was handled
and covered publicly because
i mean you know and listen starting with
me i did not pull any punches with this
young man
you know and so i'd love to know if you
thought that people were too hard on him
because he is just that a young man
oh man there's such a long history
you know trash talk with the fans you
know versus the athlete
and it's it's this interesting situation
i may see how lebron james
has handled it of course these were
adults you know the game where the woman
was you know shouting you know horrific
things at him but this is something that
athletes you know anybody has
actually in the public eye and had to
endure and then handle
ever so gracefully and i think just now
i mean
probably in the last i i'd say a few
years
are now fans being held accountable for
the things that they're saying
to people and it's interesting and
that's of course with the rise of social
media and you know capturing these kinds
of things and so for me
i just oh man
he is he is a kid but i think the thing
is when you put that out into the
public sphere when you give it to social
media like that i mean you're going to
get all sorts of things i mean you could
go from
the extreme low end of getting you know
insane you know
threats of violence or worse and to the
people that are going to be more
understanding and so that's it's just
it's just kind of a tough thing but i
think if anything
we all should just consider the things
that we put out there and say to people
and consider that other people are human
still
you know and you know cam newton is a
person you know i mean
and i think that a lot of people think
athletes and a-list hollywood
celebrities anybody on tv
are just these invincible figures but
now they're people too
you know what i mean and if you ditch it
sometimes you can speak for me
i know you can speak from experience i
know you can speak from experience
you know people have said all sorts of
crazy things and so there's a lot of
things you don't respond to
but you know it's like when that person
responds and they are fed up i mean
who's to blame here i understand you
know you got a teenager talking trash
i've been a teenager before i've tossed
all sorts of reckless trash i'm from
kansas city
missouri the show me state we play
dozens for a living out there that's
what i
that's what i do for a living out
there's talk trash and so i hear
that and there's some fun to it but you
know
you put it out on social media and it
can get you know it can go pretty far
okay well well to that end here's my
final one for you
how do you how do you come down uh in a
case with really two celebrities we're
talking about because
meek mill came out with i guess
his kobe bryant tribute uh it didn't
sound that way it certainly didn't read
that way mike read the lyrics yesterday
i don't know if you saw that was very
entertaining
reading rap lyrics uh on tv
so meek mill had his had his kobe
tribute in quote and vanessa bryant was
not having it
came out and said essentially do better
where do you stand on this here's the
line right there at the south from
from meek and oh man vanessa brian
didn't like it
oh yeah oh yeah first of all uh what
vanessa bryant says goes and i think
that when people
i mean even you know long time fans of
meek mill
heard this line saw this line you
already
know what it was going to evoke of
course from the
the victims the family and i i just
to to to put it out there like that
in such a nonchalant manner i don't know
if you thought he was being
you know i'm putting some kind of double
entendre here chopper meaning my gun
chopper helicopter like i don't i just
thought that it was it was just very
poor lyricism and i think that there are
so many other ways if you're actually
trying to pay tribute to
someone like the late kobe bryant i i
i mean there are songs that have kobe
bryant in there that are you know rap
songs drill songs chief keith has one
called kobe of course this was before
kobe passed on and he was definitely
honorable
in that i mean just respect you know i
mean there's really
right you could have done it yeah
freddie gibbs album alfred
i keep telling michael about freddie
gibbs rick ross on scotty b
rick ross outside cobia and gianna so
i'm sorry go ahead that's just that came
to mind yeah there's no
michael i mean you i mean like you
nailed it i mean there's so many
different ways to pay tribute to someone
who i think all of america
you know holds dear to their heart and
if you you say something you mentioned
with chopper i'm going out like that i
mean all you're doing is taking us back
to
you know the horrific tragedy you're
bringing us
right back there and to think about how
vocal vanessa
bryant has been about protecting her
family protecting her family's peace
and you do something like this it's just
stupid
it was stupid and you know he got really
defensive on twitter about it
you know afterwards and because people
were you know wanting to apologize
and later on he said that he had
actually privately apologized to vanessa
bryan and he doesn't have to do
all of this for social media but the
thing is is that we all love kobe bryant
too and we were all
devastated about what happened last year
you know and and everybody who was
involved and so it's not even just you
know
the bryant family impacted by this it's
the other family right we love
people as well because it triggers that
in them absolutely
so before we let you go and this
this is not going to be your last time
on this show hopefully if you if you'll
be so kind to come back
i got to know you um when when you were
uh working in dallas uh you you live in
vegas
um you're from kansas city yeah i was
trying to explain this to michael
earlier can you please
explain how you roll for the chiefs
and the raiders like how's that how's
that work
mike and michael you know okay so here
it is i know that this rivalry goes back
to even before my parents both of my
parents were born we're talking about
1960
and i mean for me it's that you know
originally from kansas city missouri
you know spent about 15 years of my life
there we moved to las vegas when i was
in high school and i've worked out here
i mean i've been calling vegas
my permanent home since 0-5 and so we've
got the vegas raiders and
i mean i know it's a nasty nasty rivalry
but i
i can't bet against pat mahomes
that's black excellent that is at its
finest right there
qb papa homes he's gonna be the best
quarterback of all time that's how i
feel about patma holmes i know you saw
the super bowl of course and you saw
those crazy throws and he's getting
tackled by like seven guys and his
body's at like an acute angle to the
ground
himself as well
and then you got the raiders man the
raiders they just raider it's so good i
mean
yeah raider nation man i i love them i
just
it's the dark side it's just a dark and
i'm split it's like if anybody's from
the midwest
i went to ku they also do ku and like
k-state they have these like little
dividers because we have that sunflower
showdown out there
and they'll call it like house divided
you'll get these little license plates
or reeves or whatever it's all like the
sunflower sampler in kansas
and that's how still here house divided
and it's like my whole house is like
that because we love this piece we love
the raiders but at least i don't love
the broncos
at least i don't love the broncos that
there's nothing to me oh
okay well sure sure oh okay
