- It has a real nice smell.
I be in Target just opening soap, smelling them sometimes.
This one caught my eye,
well caught my nose.
[DK laughs]
What's up, GQ, it's DK Metcalf,
and these are my 10 essential items.
[chill acoustic music]
I'm a big Call of Duty fan,
probably average about three to four hours
a day on the video game.
It's off season, so I got a lot of free time
after I workout.
Warzone, that's how I play.
Warzone is like a Battle Royale,
everybody drops in and you gotta survive.
I like the competition aspect of that,
that everybody's fighting for that one goal
and that's to win and to beat everybody else.
You got your little team, your little squad.
My squad is people I grew up with from high school.
That's how we communicate with each other.
Shout out to the squad.
I went through the 2K phase, the Fortnite phase,
but Call of Duty, the Warzone
has stuck around for about three years now.
Strong.
[plastic crinkles]
Candy in general.
Gummies, preferably.
I'm not a real big chocolate fan,
but gummies are preferably my go-to snack.
I eat a lot of candy.
Yeah, Skittles gummies,
they got a couple different flavors
but the original where it's at.
Jolly Ranchers, same with them.
They got a sour kind, not a big sour person.
I just stick with the original flavors.
Nah, but I need to change my diet though.
I've slowed down.
'Cause I have started to feel a push back
from trainers and nutritionists,
but instead of four bags,
probably down to three.
It happens a lot while I'm playing Call of Duty.
I think a meal, it needs your undivided attention.
It doesn't need to, something over here.
You gotta sit down and enjoy that meal.
With some candy, you can just pop 'em in
and just enjoy the flavors.
My next item is Extra polar ice.
I keep this on me everywhere I go.
Yeah, it's just a lifesaver and a breath saver as well.
You can't be childish when you trying to fix your breath.
Bubble gum flavor is not gonna cut it.
Cinnamon, not gonna cut it.
You gotta get something strong, something minty,
I think polar ice does the job.
Got the infamous murse.
I take this everywhere I go
'cause I don't like things really in my pocket
and this eliminates that.
It's Louis Vuitton.
It was a gift from Bobby Wagner.
Shout out to Bobby.
I had one, but I lost it
so he bought me another one.
I keep my phone, wallet, gum
everything in there.
Sometimes you can wear it as a seatbelt in the car.
I don't think that was ever a hesitation
with buying a murse.
If anybody mad, they just ain't got one.
That's the way I look at it.
My inhaler, self explanatory,
but this little thing packs a punch.
I've been using this inhaler going on 12 years.
Found out I had asthma when I was younger,
especially when it gets cold outside,
my breathing gets real heavy.
I be trying to go to sleep at night,
I look over on my nightstand,
grab this little guy, helps my breathing.
I've always had one wherever I've gone,
except for in the car.
I need to put one in the car,
but everywhere else, I got one.
May need it now, actually.
[DK inhales]
[DK exhales]
My body wash.
It does the job.
It's all you need.
It has a real nice smell.
I be at Target just opening soaps, smelling them sometimes.
This one caught my eye, well caught my nose.
[DK laughs]
Been around for about five years now.
I've been using it.
Amazon has it now so it's easy to order.
Go buy yours at your nearest Target.
No, I'm just playing, no, that's it.
[DK laughs]
I never take this cross chain off.
You're not gonna believe me.
I got it on Amazon.
I got it my last year of college
after I broke my neck.
Yeah, it's been around four or five years now,
but anytime that I do something important
or I feel worried or something,
I just tap it twice and everything goes away.
Well, I've always been a faithful person.
Just getting this cross chain
is something that I can just wear.
Just something that I can just touch
and just be good.
That was gonna be significant
for me that I can never take off.
I Nair my chest, so I take it off there
but other than that, I keep it on.
The cross is broken.
Nothing's perfect in life.
I start working with prison fellowship
when I first got into the league.
They're a organization that helps prisoners
with supplies like Bibles and Bible study and
just helping them with
their journey into Christianity.
It was just something that it was put
on my heart that everybody needs a second chance
or everybody needs a chance.
This one I came across two years ago.
My financial advisor turned me into a wine drinker,
a wine connoisseur.
I've just been trying out different wines
and this is the best wine by far.
Stocked up at BevMo.
What stuck with me was how it's
something other than football or food
that I can talk about.
If somebody can talk about wine
they damn should know what they're talking about.
I just wanted to join their group
of wine drinkers and tasters.
I'm a big cab guy, not too bold on the flavors.
Something more lighter.
Don't want to give away all my secrets,
all my wine words.
Late at night when I'm done with dinner,
I'd probably say or if I'm just chilling,
playing a game at night, mainly at night.
It's good.
Go get your bottle at BevMo.
Caymus.
Pow.
Flaming Hot Cheetos.
I didn't grow up a big hot snacks fan
or a spicy person,
but I've grown to develop a palate.
I just picked up a bag one day and was eating it
while I was playing Call of Duty.
It's a easy snack.
Your hands get kind of dirty,
but I keep a paper towel beside me.
- [Interviewer] That was [indistinct] 10, right?
- No, that was nine.
We still got Layla.
- [Interviewer] We still got Layla, of course.
- Trying to forget about my baby.
- [Crew Member] Sorry. [crew members laugh]
- Last thing that I cannot live without is my dog, Layla.
I've had her since my sophomore year of college.
We've been through a lot and she's moved a lot,
but that's my baby girl.
She was born in Mississippi,
lived there until she was two,
got driven to Seattle by my dad
and was living in Seattle for the past two, three years.
Now we're in LA together.
Chilling, posted up.
She sleeps like she works a nine to five.
All Layla does is just chill and eat.
Kinda like me.
She scary as hell now.
She is a scary ass dog.
She would probably help somebody rob the place.
Show them where everything is
and then be like,
"Nah don't go in this room,
that's where my dad asleep at",
but she's precious.
Thanks for watching, catch you season two.
