Follow Club Shay Shay on Tik Tok: sprtspod.fox/ClubShayShayTikTok... On episode 23, Shannon welcomes in 1998 Heisman trophy winner, 2002 NFL rushing yards leader, yoga instructor, astrologer & host of the Curious Questions podcast: Ricky Williams. Ricky discusses choosing the University of Texas over USC, playing minor league baseball and college football, being drafted by the Saints, signing with Master P’s agency, and his 2002 First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl season with the Dolphins.
He talks Shannon through his experience failing two drug tests in Miami, retiring early from the NFL and traveling the world on a journey of self-discovery before returning to the league. He discusses how astrology, yoga, and cannabis have helped him reconnect with his spiritual side, and how his career might have panned out differently if he didn’t receive so much negative attention.
Ricky’s football career is known both for his on-the-field accolades and the heavy media scrutiny over his early retirement. In this honest & candid conversation, Ricky tells his side of the story.

What was the most interesting thing you learned about Ricky Williams?
UNC! Y’all need to bring in Cameron Wake (has 101 sacks) I’ve always thought he and Shannon are similar (personality wise) and imo he is a hall of famer as well, he has over 100 sacks in a bad team and the dude was 2 years in BC lions in canda!! @Club Shay Shay
420
He one of the reasons why I start smoking back in 2006 💯💯💯
Not the most interesting, BUT I didn't know that he played Minor League baseball
That he invested in Gamestop !
The best career advice that I learned is don’t ever attach your-self to a PERSON, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Only Attach your-self to your mission in life and your PURPOSE. That’s how you keep your power and keep your peace!
Stolen
He post everywhere
@@nicolasnunoo1858 right dawg weird
@@SiRMensch lol it’s facts tho on holy
@@starfireprincess No... Gospel.
From the dreads, to the support of cannabis, and always being open about his mental health, Ricky was really a trend setter, and like so many men he left behind him on the football field, we just needed to catch up. Hats off brother, this next bowl is for you.
That dude Ricky is very intelligent, humorous and informative. He's like a warrior monk who smokes cannabis from a bamboo bong.
On a bed of hand picked eucalyptus 🍃leaves
That's exactly who he is
😂😂😂
Yes He has away of the Bock Da Mule and a Gentle Soul.
🤣🤣
Ricky sounds like the chill guy you talk to in your dorm one night and stay up till 5am talking about life
While smoking that fire! 😂
This generation will not know how good and dynamic of a running back RICKY WILLIAMS WAS!!!!
So true
He used to drag defenders down the field with him. 5’11/230, 4.6 40 dash and he picked his lanes with the best of them. Dude was a monster. Good human being.
Ricky was dat dude on NFL Street
Whole wheat 🌾 facts
He was that deal on madden 04
Omg lmao yo you just reminded me of that game
2k4 he was op af 😂
Lmao! Miss that game!
Moral of the story. Do what you love and what feels right for YOU
This podcast is getting very versatile
They don’t call em big play shay for nun✊🏿
That’s why it’s liked
Shannon is very versatile
It really is. Uncle Shay got clout
It's been versatile its unc Shay versatility
Yes people let that sink in: 100 yards per game. Ricky averaged 100 yards per game in N.O. And nobody ever mentions it.
People really don’t realize how good he was with the Saints. He wasn’t the bust that a lot of folks think
I don’t know why everyone has always made Ricky’s story out to be such a dark one. Every time I’ve heard him speak, he has always seemed like such a light hearted guy. He seems to have taken his situation in stride, it’s curious that others couldn’t do the same. In a somewhat parallel turn of events, I also left school and had somewhat of an extended soul searching experience. While in Australia I kept hearing, “Ricky williams was here awhile ago.” Turns out I followed his same geographical path. After that trip I felt changed. I also felt like I understood him in a strange way. Still do. You looking good Rick! Always been proud of you for walking your own path and finding your own happiness. Btw- your last agent JD is one of my closest friends. His stories about you confirmed my suspicion that you are and were a tremendous guy. Nothing but love and happiness to you. I hope our paths cross one day my friend!
Ricky looks like he's in a good place mentally. I'm happy for him.
S/o to all the cannabis smokers who keep doing they thang keep proving them ppl wrong 💯
Been smoking since 1985. Graduated high school, majored in Physics and engineering in college and now I am a grandfather. And I am still smoking cannabis to this very day.
" ain't no once I leave, y'all still hang out. You must've been smoking then Rick!" 🤣🤣😅
On the hood, That was all-time funny! 😂🤣
Big FACTS 😂😂😂😂
I wasn't going to watch this episode But man this kept my entire Attention the whole time! 😯
Ricky was very misunderstood when he first walked away from the NFL. To watch him on Shays show pulls everything together. He's a very good man. Shay did a great job on this one👌🏾
Rickey is one of the most misunderstood Athletes ever I really enjoyed this interview.
Man this dude Ricky Williams was a beast in his prime !! Loved watching him run the ball hard as f**k ! Lol 💪🏽
Facts, he was different
2002 ricky was amazing good
Chad Pennington, Ricky Williams, Chris Chambers 🔥🔥🔥
“You must’ve been smoking THEN Rick!” 😂
I was always interested in Ricky Williams not just because he was good at football but there was this aura about him I see why I saw that now dude is talking about some really interesting things in astrology and yoga 🧘🏽♂️ and I hope he continues on this path great episode to see the good work Shannon and crew and of course appreciate Ricky to stop and by
One of my all-time favorite running backs!
First rasta running back in the league at his time. Lynch my #2
@@I-JAH_SHILO Having dread locks and smoking cannabis doesn't make you a Rasta. I thought by your title you would know this.
@@gerardrbain1972 I overstand that. Rasta It's a way of life.
@@I-JAH_SHILO I understand. Respect.
Top five running back for me lol this was my guy in madden 04 and 05!
easily
My fave RB in HighSchool. I tried to be just like Ricky. From the dreads to the visor. Dude was amazing
Ricky and Edgerrin James made it cool to wear dreads with the helmet
its called Locs not dreads
Ima in South Africa 🇿🇦 🌍 We here Run with the , Da Bock Mule. Sr Willams was With Us for a Sunmer in 2011
One of the most underrated great RB's.. I'd take Ricky in his prime (New Orleans and early Miami days) against any Defense
Unc thank you I was wondering how Ricky Williams was doing. He was an elite running back in his time. I give him respect for what he believed in no matter what the situation is. Always wondered how his career would have been focused solely on football. He would have beaten the all the time rushing record easily.
This is an excellent episode. Ricky Williams lived out his dream and lived his life on his terms. Perfect.
Ricky Williams was probably one of my favorite players to watch in both college and the pro’s. Shannon’s interviewing style really made Ricky feel at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. ✌️😎
Uncle Shay, we been here the entire time! Your growth is substantial! I had to go back and watch the hard knocks back in 01 when you were on there. We love it. We love your personality, we love your growth, we love the channel. Keep it up.
Ricky was true to himself and you can always respect that, He’s definitely a top 10 RB in NCAA history.
Ricky “ok ok one time I did lose my temper and I threw the ball at his helmet” Nicest guy on earth?😹❤️
Yeah a lot of dudes would’ve done much worse lol
I love Ricky! Also you have to watch 30 for 30 run Rick run.
One of my top 5 favorite RB's of all time
Wonderful interview , Im fascinated by his mindset. So many golden nuggets of wisdom.
Ricky is not only one of my favorite Longhorns of all time, he's also one of my favorite humans of all time.
You know which interview we want... Skip & Stephen A & Unc Shay = Mega Interview
Thank you for this interview, Shannon! Big Ricky fan here!!💜💜
Great interview Shannon Ricky Williams one of my favorite players, I’m glad that you got them on the podcast and he could really clear air with the negative about him that’s not negative. Can’t wait till the next podcast!!
I’ve watched every episode of this podcast and this was one of the best yet so versatile
Marshawn Lynch’s has the personality I thought Ricky Williams had.
Nahhh😂 Ricky is a hippie flower child lol a true free spirit.
Not sure how u got that impression
🤔
@@sawssman965 the way he played, dark shield, dreads...
@@555star8 umm, I guess that makes sense?
Great job brother Sharpe ! I had to watch this live !!! Keep up the great work.
Great interview! Ricky one of my favorite people. He just seems so happy
Ricky is so far ahead of everyone, it's like we haven't even been born yet.
Love you Shannon. You a real one my guy 💪🏿❤️ Really doing it the right way 🙏🏾
Shannon you are giving us some great interviews. Keep getting some of the players that was stars back in your day or after you on for some interviews. To my fellow HBCU and Criminal Justice graduate. Keep up the great work.
Great interview. Ricky seems like he's a good person with a purpose for his life.
Idk what anyone else says, Ricky is the best back I've seen with my own two eyes.
He was nice but not the best. Marshal was that dude. How is E. JAMES a HOF? I honestly don't get that one
Ricky Williams, ahead of his time mentally.
GREAT interview!!! Ricky is funny as heck. I can watch this over and over again. Ricky was the man!!! He was the best back in da league at one point. He sound like a very professional teacher of anything! Please get tiger woods on the show next!!!
That’s crazy I was just watching his football life documentary again like a day ago and now he on club Shay Shay that’s crazy 🔥

Shannon’s podcast list of guest continues to get better n better
Great interview...Club Shay Shay is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rickey Williams is a highly intelligent and beautiful human being...and seems to be a wonderful young man. He was an outstanding Running Back. Much Respect for his journey.
Backup qb he was talkin bout was Richard Walton lol had me researching 🤦🏾♂️😂😂
His 30for30 was one of my favorites along with 90's Knicks and the tragic Len Bias & Ben Wilson story.
Shannon is doing a great job on his podcast an on Skip an Shannon very smart man.. An Ricky is my favorite RB of all time
This was great content. Great job Unc.
Keep em' coming Unc! Love this!
Thank You Gentlemen... Great Conversation...
Shannon,, when you say "fired on him", that term takes me back to the late 60's when I was in the Navy. I fired on a few guys back then! LOL
lol I got in trouble for firing on a couple guys in the Air Force lol good times
Awesome conversation 🔥
Another 🔥 guest. Everybody loves Unc
good stuff!!! loving these interviews!
The king...with whatever he does🎯🖤

GREAT INTERVIEW!!

Club Shay Shay is already a Classic!
Very good interview, I love looking at interview learning more about the person not the player
great stuff Shannon!!! Big time getting my all time favorite player( 2nd to Sean Taylor #21)
One of my favorite episodes
UNC! Y’all need to bring in Cameron Wake (has 101 sacks) I’ve always thought he and Shannon are similar (personality wise) and imo he is a hall of famer as well, he has over 100 sacks in a bad team and the dude was 2 years in BC lions in canda!! @Club Shay Shay
Best defensive CFL player ever
Dwight Freeney
