1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Life audio.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: Hey Bailey, thanks for joining me.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for having me.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 3: Actor Bailey Chase, who stars in the Angels series Homestead.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 3: I love this series, of course. It all started with

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: the movie of the same name. It's a post apocalyptic

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: drama series that followed survivors inside fortified refuge after a

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: nuclear detonation around Los Angeles. Bailey, let's just start off

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: with this question, why did you want to get involved?

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: What attracted you to this story?

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great, almost kind of loaded question. I feel

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 4: that there was a lot going on. There was a

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: lot going on in my life and in the world

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: at the time, in the world of film and television,

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 4: there was a Hollywood strike and everything was kind of

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: shut down. There were also other kind of mandates coming

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 4: out of the Hollywood where being a middle aged white

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 4: dude wasn't necessarily a popular thing.

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: And and you know, enter Homestead and it was one

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: of those where I was.

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: On a family vacation with my in laws. It was

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 4: their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Those don't happen very often, and

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: I was like, look, guys, there's no possible way I

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: can read for the show right now. There's like six

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: kids under the age of ten in this house that

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: you know, we were all staying in the beach in

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 4: South Carolina, and they were like, no.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: We need it, we need it, we need it.

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: And it was one of those things where I think,

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: you know, of course it was a divide intervention, but

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: people want what they can't have. And after like, you know,

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: four days of nos, they finally just offered the thing

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: to me and I.

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Was like, whoa, this is great.

35
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: And of course there was, you know, twenty four hours

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: and I knew I was friends with Neil McDonough, pryor

37
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: you know, we weren't in constant touch or anything. He's

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 4: a busy guy. We all got a bunch of kids.

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: But he's like let me. He's like, let me, you know.

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: So we side texted and they came back.

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: Twenty four hours later with a straight offer, and week later.

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: I don't plan to Utah, And.

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: Of course Neil's part of this as well. It seems

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: just maybe personal to you, or at.

45
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: Least you moved from North Carolina, from from Hollywood, from California,

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: not tilling Ago, so you're not running away from a

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 5: nuclear bomb, of course, but yeah, what led you to

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: move again?

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: I think you know, big.

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: Man, you know, always has a plan, he just doesn't

51
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: always let us know what it is, and we just

52
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: gotta gotta adapt.

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: And it was always my dream actually, so to go back.

54
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: You know, I moved out to LA from I went

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: to do creat I played football duke, you know, in Durham,

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: North Carolina back in the mid nineties.

57
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Moved out to LA with a dollar dream.

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: It was always my plan to make it, you know

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: in Hollywood and then come back and then have a

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: normal life. And you know North Carolina. You know, I'm

61
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: from Florida, but I fell in love with North Carolina.

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 4: My wife from North Carolina, and uh and so it

63
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: was always the plan, the dream, the hope. But once

64
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: I got out to LA, you know, I'm a pretty

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: focused guy, and maybe you know, seeing that in some

66
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: of our roles, I get the blinders on and I

67
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: you know, I just I just go.

68
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: And so I was doing that thing out in LA.

69
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: But then COVID hit and so, you know, right before

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: the Hollywood, you know strike, there was COVID and so

71
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: whoever thought it would be a good idea to strike

72
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: right after a pandemic, it was hard. It was hard,

73
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: and you know, I have a lot of you know,

74
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: empathy with my fellow you know, actors, writers, directors, because

75
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: it was about four years of not working.

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: And so we moved to North Carolina. Obviously, the cost.

77
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: Of living is a lot easier here than it was

78
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: out in La. Three young kids at the time. Well

79
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: they're older now, we still have three kids. They're nine,

80
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: nine to eleven, twins or nine. But at the time

81
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: there were four, four and six, and so you can imagine,

82
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: you know, they were all bouncing off the walls. No school,

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: no sports, no work, and yet you know, fifteen grand

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: a month to just break even, you know, it was.

85
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: It's crazy out there, right, And I wasn't. I didn't

86
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: have a mansion. That's just that's just the cost of

87
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: living out there for a family of five to to

88
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: be you know, normal. So I've cut that way down

89
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: here in North Carolina, and my wife was surrounded by

90
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: my in laws for families all around. We live outside

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: of Asheville over here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and yeah.

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful part of the country. I've been here.

93
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 6: Ay.

94
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes you live around the Sookey Mountains near there in

95
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: Gatlinburg in that area. That's that's a beautiful part of

96
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: the country. Ashville is beautiful as well, he wrote on Instagram. Recently,

97
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: you said twenty years of hustle in LA. You've escapped

98
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: twenty years of hustle in La. How has getting back

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: to a slower pace maybe changed your life or it

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: perhaps even taught you about God?

101
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, people people ask me, you know, what's are

102
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: you here?

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: What's your next move? Where do you see yourself settling?

104
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: And I feel like I've already found it. I feel like,

105
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: you know, we're here. My in laws are you know,

106
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: getting up there in years a little bit, and my

107
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: mom's no longer with us, but my dad he's in Florida,

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: but he's got a place up here, and he's eighty five.

109
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: And so it's just nice being back on the East Coast.

110
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: We want to be able to, you know, support them

111
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: and be here with them. You mentioned my faith.

112
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: It was funny. I was talking to old.

113
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: College ready yesterday, who's you know, known me thirty years?

114
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: And he's like, man, you're post.

115
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: Lately, and I'm like, yeah, you know, it's just it's honest,

116
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: It's it's how I feel. And moving back here, I've

117
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: gotten reconnected to my faith. Just started going to church recently.

118
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: Took a few years, but I really like the church

119
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: where we're going to here, it's called First Baptist. My

120
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: cousin started taking us and yeah, and.

121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: The girls are in youth group. They really love it.

122
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: My son struggles to get up most mornings, so he's

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: he's hit or miss, you know, when it's fun to

124
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: go to church.

125
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: But it's great and it's nice to be in an

126
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: environment where I can openly, you know, talk about God

127
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: and Jesus and without fear of criticism.

128
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: Well, your Instagram biolized the Bible burst has Isaiah sig

129
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: z eight. That's where the prophet Isaiah responds to God.

130
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: He says, here, I am sending me. Did you kind

131
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: of feel like that? I mean, is that kind of

132
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: a personal verse for you?

133
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: I do? I do? I feel like I uh. And

134
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: I've played some of these characters to self sacrificing.

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, I would do that gladly and

136
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: willingly for my family. You know, if if anything ever,

137
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: you know, threatening comes our way, I'm going to be

138
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: out front, you know, like like we all would.

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

140
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: And I feel I feel that way about my my community,

141
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: you know, because I'm I'm ready to go. Yeah, and

142
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: uh that that one really resonates with me.

143
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: And then to jump ahead, you know, working with Angel.

144
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: Studios has has been great obviously believe in their message,

145
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: and then developing another series for them based on the

146
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 4: book series by Lynn Austin. It's called Chronicles or Kings,

147
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: and it's my my dream to play Isaiah in in

148
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 4: that series, so that that would be a cool, full

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: full circle moment.

150
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's news to me. Where is that? I guess

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: we're just in early stages.

152
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we're in development and I don't know Lin,

153
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: but we were able to secure the rights and basically

154
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 4: have a shopping agreement right now and it's uh, it's

155
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 4: coming along.

156
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: Let's talk about your character. Your character's next Jeff Ericsson.

157
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,080

195
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: How did you get into acting? Is this something you

196
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: grew up wanting to do? And second part of the question,

197
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: at this stage of your career, what makes you say

198
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: yes to your role?

199
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

200
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you left out Longmire.

201
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: That's that's right, that's right, We're sorry about that.

202
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: And then you know, you're you're you're good. I actually

203
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: enjoyed that you left it out because most people we'll

204
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: leave with it, which is which is fun.

205
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, So I moved to La again Dollar Dreaming.

206
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: You know, played college football, and obviously the NFL didn't

207
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: didn't come calling for a six foot, you know, two

208
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: hundred pound safety who wasn't that fast or didn't have

209
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: any other skills. So I watched a lot of Clint

210
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: Eastwood movies as a kid. Came from a broken home,

211
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 4: single mom, who worked, and my brother I come home

212
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: from school, Charlot the TV and and you know there

213
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: was Clint, you know, in all his Westerns, and you know,

214
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 4: I just kind of said, as a kid, without knowing anything,

215
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: like you know, to myself, I want to be like

216
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 4: that guy, you know, on the strong, silent type and

217
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: you know, good, good versus evil, all the all the

218
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: things that I believe in. And without really knowing it,

219
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: you know that that was my boyhood dream. I you know,

220
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: grew up smalltown Florida, so there wasn't any like acting

221
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: or anything. I did sports like all the other boys

222
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: around there. My brother and I would play football in

223
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: the hall and you know, put holes in it, much

224
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: to my mother's dismay. And then once football was done,

225
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: I just pivoted. I was a psychology major. In order

226
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: to really do anything with that, I was going to

227
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: have to go to graduate school. And I was like, man,

228
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: I just want to go do what I want to do.

229
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: I want to chill for a minute, you know. After

230
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: kind of being on that track forever, and I moved

231
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: to LA and I got the acting bug, and and

232
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 4: here we are.

233
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I was terrible. I'm terrible in the beginning. That's why

234
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I did you.

235
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: Know, so Barbara is and Buffy was my first I

236
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: would say, real job. I did some little sitcoms, married

237
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: with children, stuff like that, before you know, Baywatch, and

238
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: then I went to a drama academy over in London,

239
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 4: did some Shakespeare, got on stage, got you know, through

240
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: those butterflies, and then when you know, when I came

241
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: back to La after that, that's that's when Buffy happened

242
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: and it sort of took off from there.

243
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of kind of got you going.

244
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: I can't let you go without talking about your college

245
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: football career because I'm a huge college foball fan, and

246
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed to know I didn't even realize you played

247
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: college football, But like I followed Collge football for three

248
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: or four decades and it's like the sport I follows.

249
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: So tell me about your career. Dude, you played your

250
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: defensive back and what were your Did you have any

251
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: good teams?

252
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: Was this? Michael?

253
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: This is going to be the shortest answer. I was

254
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: more of a special teams star. Okay, if you call that,

255
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: I was sup fished teams player, but I yeah, red shirted, undersized.

256
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: I went there as a middle linebacker. So imagine that.

257
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: You know, I was the smallest inside linebacker in the

258
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: a C C and this was the old a CEC,

259
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: but still the smallest one on scholarship and the whole thing, like,

260
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 4: I was actually under two paths and then so they

261
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 4: tried to fat me up, but I got to like

262
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: two oh five and was just maxed out. And after

263
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: a year they were frustrated. I was off there playing

264
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: baseball too. Coach made me quit baseball.

265
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Blah blah. There was a.

266
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: Coaching change and enter my junior year, coaching and staff

267
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: came in from Rice and they had a bandit or

268
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 4: rover back, so I went from linebacker to safety. I

269
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: didn't know what I was doing back there. A year later,

270
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: new coaches come in and a rover like, you just

271
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: go to the ball. You're a hybrid safety linebacker, which

272
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: was perfect for me. I was good size, good speed

273
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: for that, and so I started for one year. We

274
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: went to a bowl game, Hall of Fame Bowl in

275
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five, got to play in Tampa. I'm a

276
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: big Bucks fan, and so that was that was really fun,

277
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: a great way to go out. We were top twenty

278
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: that year and then do football was terrible for a

279
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,119
Speaker 4: while and now and now we're back.
