Marcellus Wiley engaged in a candid discussion with Vlad about his experiences with the often controversial subculture that accompanies fame and success in the sporting world. They touched on the controversial case of Michael Vick, notorious for his downfall and prison sentence due to his involvement in a dogfighting ring. Wiley defended Vick on the basis of cultural differences and norms, mentioning that he played with teammates in Dallas who were involved in similar activities, such as cockfighting. He also discussed the negatives of having a large entourage, citing the financial burden and mixed priorities they brought, with reference to players such as Allen Iverson and Andre Rison, who faced financial difficulties due to their entourage's expenditures. However, he praised Vick for his ability to rebuild his career post-scandal, emphasizing that not everyone manages to turn their situation around after such a downfall.
