Okay, now I'm going to give for 68 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: our listeners, and you stop me if I'm incorrect in 69 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: any of the information that I've accumulated from various sources here. Okay, 70 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: so you were born in Pennsylvania. As a kid, you 71 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: lived in New Jersey, You lived in Minnesota, lived in Arizona, 72 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: lived in London in England, came back, lived in Arizona, 73 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: lived in California, then went to college in Idaho, went 74 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: to college in Arkansas, back to college in California, and 75 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: then into the NFL. Now that's a very circuitous route, 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: and so my first question would be do you believe 77 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: had it not been that kind of a path, that 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: you still would have found your way into the NFL 79 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: or did having to kind of go those extra steps 80 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: drive you to the player you've become. 81 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, looking back on it, there's opportunities where I think 82 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: if I could have got placed as sooner, or could 83 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: have did things a little bit differently, But ultimately my 84 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: goal was to just taken an idea from every place 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: that I went along the way and just added to 86 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: my game, you know, whether it's learning how to be 87 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: a leader, or learning how to watch film from a 88 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: guy like Nate Moore, learning how to pull your trigger 89 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: from Jacoory Nickel, you know what I mean, learning how 90 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: how to be a dog like from Tayok you know 91 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: me and over in San Diego State, just every step 92 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: along the way of adding something to your game. 93 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: When you walked on at San Diego State, there were 94 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: probably people that didn't know your story but you did. 95 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Was that similar to the situation that you found yourself 96 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: in the NFL of having to kind of prove yourself? 97 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: Definitely there's parallels there. 98 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: You know. 99 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been able to 100 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: go on through a situation like that if I got to, 101 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: because it just caught me that you put your head 102 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: down and things go the way that you want them 103 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: to if you work hard. 104 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: You know. 105 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: So what point, let's get to this. You said in 106 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: college you did a little bit of day trading. Now 107 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: my understanding is one of the schools you attended, I 108 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: think it might have been herding. I'm not sure, but 109 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: that you you were looking for like an economics course 110 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: that they didn't offer, and so therefore you transferred back 111 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: out again. Maybe that's embellished. I don't know, but how 112 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: did you get into the trading part of it? And 113 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: what about it intrigues you? 114 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just it was been the person that love 115 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 2: seeing growth and so being able to start an investment 116 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: portfolio with like ten dollars and then it's actually up 117 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: to about like twenty one hundred. Now I haven't touched 118 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: that initial portfolio. I kind of left it alone and 119 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: allowed it to do his thing. Just that, you know, 120 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: as like a momento to myself. But yeah, just seeing 121 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: like the opportunity for growth is one of those things 122 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 2: that I've always loved. 123 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So you started with ten bucks and then you 124 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: just put it in a rainy day fun and now 125 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it's at twenty one hundred. 126 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't really a rainy day fun. It was like, 127 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: you know, let's see what we can do with this 128 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: ten dollars. 129 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: You know that's pretty cool though, right, Yeah. 130 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it's been going steadily. Man. I 131 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: think I'll add it over the course of time. I'll 132 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: edit up to three hundred, and then from then it 133 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: was just purely growth. 134 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: Okay, factor fiction. When you were in college or at 135 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: some point along the way, you were working at five Guys. Fact, 136 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: So how do you not weigh three hundred? Because I 137 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: would I mean, you know what I mean, like i'd 138 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: be I would have been eating five Guys every single day. 139 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: Was Oh, it was funny if my manager actually he 140 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: didn't eat at work, so he used to just put 141 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: his meal in for me too, because he knew I 142 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: was gonna eat. 143 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: So now, wait a minute, here's my thing.

What has been the difference. 169 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: Ultimately, I think it's just, you know, sometimes it's Tommy 170 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: an opportunity. You know, We've had good players, you know 171 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: when I've been here, and we've had you know, a 172 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: good coaching, you know, and it's just sometimes things got 173 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: to marry up in the right way, and that we're 174 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: seeing that happen on Sundays this year. 175 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: The you know, the and I realize the other side 176 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: of the football, so different meeting rooms and things like that. 177 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones has been as you know, Jegu, I mean, 178 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: you're aware of this. He has obviously been a major 179 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: story in a positive way for the Colts this year. 180 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Quarterbacking sometimes with leadership, I think that we envision that 181 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks the one that everybody gravitates towards and he's 182 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: the one that's given the raw row chance and everything else. 183 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: What kind of a leader have you been able to 184 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: see that Daniel Jones is? 185 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, just consistent execution, right, Like you look at a 186 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: guy like Daniel, he's not super big into the ra ra, 187 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: but you can look at him and see that that 188 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: confidence that's there, and then you can see the consistent 189 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: execution that makes guys, you know, believe him. When you 190 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: have belief, guy's play hard, you know. 191 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: So Okay, what about on your side of the ball, 192 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: you know the guy that well, I'll just say, I'll 193 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: ask you this, who is your defensive leader? 194 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: We know Ze to be a vocal leader for us, 195 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: but there's multiple players on our defense that are our leaders, 196 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: whether it's you know, defo. I mean realistically, like, we 197 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: have so much good leadership and sen on defense that 198 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: it's not just one guy. And that's kind of one 199 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: of the things that we have as an advantage. 200 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Forest Buckner is the guy that it seems 201 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: and obviously Zira Franklin, right, it goes without saying that 202 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Franklin based on tenure and just the fact that he 203 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: is so reliably there, right, But Buckner is also a 204 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: guy that, it seems as though from the outside is 205 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: the one that's not afraid to speak up, so to speak. 206 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Is that a fair assessment. 207 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so something needs to be said. Buck isn't afraid 208 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: to say it at all, you know, And I think 209 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: that's true for a lot of guys on our defense, 210 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: which is, like I said, part of what makes us 211 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: so good because Cam buying him the same way. 212 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so cam bying him is a guy that you 213 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of experience with, right because you go 214 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: beyond just the walls of West fifty sixth Street and 215 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: your experience with cam bying them. 216 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: Correct. 217 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, me and him went to high school together, 218 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: so that's all. That was really awesome to be able 219 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: to see him and be teammates again. 220 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: Who was the better player in high school? 221 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: I say you, he said, He might say me. I 222 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: might say him. You know, that's this kind of guys 223 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: you are, But you know, I'll probably go with Cam. 224 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: Is it surreal. 225 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: To be? And I would think this is true for anybody, 226 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: but I'll ask it just for you in particular. Is 227 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: it still surreal that you're in the National Football League? 228 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: Every day. I walk in every day, walk in the 229 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: locker room every single day, looking around and see, like 230 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: I mean, when I first walk in, usually see tread 231 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: you know. And so I see LaQuan Treadwell. And I 232 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: remember watching Lawan in college and then watching him in 233 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: the league, and like you just see different guys, you know, 234 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: and it just reminds you. Look around the building, you 235 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: see how people are. It's surrealed every single day, and 236 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: I try not to take it for granted. 237 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: And with that the at what point in your career 238 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: did you realize that the NFL was a distinct possibility. 239 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: I remember it like it was yesterday. It was my 240 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: freshman year of high school or college. I was sitting 241 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: in my college dorm when I was watching an NFL 242 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: game with my roommate, and I just remember sitting there 243 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: and I was like, man, I watched some guy and 244 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: I think he got completely cooked. And I was just looking. 245 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I think I could do 246 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: at least that, you know what I mean, Like, I 247 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: think I could do better than that. And so I 248 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: just remember that I changed my Twitter handle to the 249 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: league and then kind of just started working on it 250 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: from then. 251 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: And once you got into like the situation for example, 252 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: where you're you get a key block punt, a special 253 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: teams play like that, right. I would think being in 254 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: particular in special teams can be a challenge because you 255 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: only get so many opportunities out there to make the name, 256 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: to make your footprint, to impact the game, and so 257 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you're not over rushing it, 258 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: overthinking it, getting too zealous, and letting the process take 259 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: care of itself on a play. Now that's me a 260 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: radio host talking. Is that me way overthinking the mindset 261 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: of what you have to be in the NFL? 262 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: No, I mean it's pretty simple, like you just line 263 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: up and execute your job and then the big plays 264 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: happened because you were prepared and you were doing what 265 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: you were supposed to do. Like, you can't really go 266 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: big play hunting because that's when you get out of position. 267 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: I mean, gads are too good, you know, Like you 268 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 2: can't sit there and try to capitalize on something that 269 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: isn't there. 270 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: But doesn't that kind of symbolize your entire journey absolutely, 271 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like like you just had 272 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: to go through the process, right, Yeah. 273 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: It's taking advance As with the opportunities when they're there, 274 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: but you can't rush the process. And I think that's 275 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: true for a lot of guys in this league. 276 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: What's your favorite thing to do when you're not and 277 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: during the season. I realize, you know, you're pretty committed 278 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: to what you're doing, but when you're away from the facility, 279 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: when you're away from practice, when you are just kind 280 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: of kicking your feet up, so to speak, chegu Alubi 281 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: is doing what to pass the time. 282 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: I like to travel, you know. I like to travel 283 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: around a bit, and then if I'm not doing that, 284 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: I'll probably be doing yoga or boxing like I like 285 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: to do active things like that. 286 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 3: How long do you live in London? 287 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: We were there for a brief stint, probably like a 288 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: few months, a couple months, you know what I mean, 289 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: just trying to get things situated back here. 290 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: Have you been Have you been back there since? I mean, 291 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: did it have any sort of an impact on you? 292 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 293 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: I travel I traveled there pretty as often as I can. 294 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: I was just there this last summer, visiting my cousins 295 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 2: and friends and stuff. 296 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: Do your cousins have British accents? Yes, of course I 297 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: have a wonderful I have Eddie loves this. I have 298 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: a wonderful British accent. Now, Saga, can you can you 299 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: critique my British accent for me? 300 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: All right, let's give it a go. Yeah. 301 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: I was watching Indianapolis Coach of the Week and and 302 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: that had a guy that he brought a punt foot 303 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: against the right is and then before I knew, the 304 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: Colts just pull away. 305 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: What do you think? 306 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 2: I think it sounds like it makes the different reasons, 307 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: but you know it's better than some. 308 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Now here's the thing though, brit would immediately 309 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: be able to call me out as a poser. 310 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: Wouldn't they different places?

Shoot, how do you. 321 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: How do you prepare for it when a Kyler Murray say, 322 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, we don't know if he's gonna play. He's 323 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker. You got to have an eye on 324 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: him at all times. But you don't know if it's 325 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, whether it's gonna be Murray, whether 326 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jacoby Brissette.
