Irvin appeared to be near the bar area of a restaurant as he delivered the words of wisdom to an unidentified group of men who were presumably patronizing the establishment.

"When they done came home and crickets are around, you see what I'm saying," Irvin continued as the group laughed. "So listen, all great men have to mitigate the kid in him so it doesn't mess up the king in him."

Irvin believes that mitigation is vital to a man reaching "his destiny."

"In order to reach that destiny… dude, if we all be honest, we need a good anchor. We need something to say, ‘Come home.’ Because you know we won't go home if we don't have somebody say, ‘Come home.’"
