WEBVTT - 1-on-1 with Terry McLaurin | Episode 21

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Command Center Podcast. I'm Julie Donaldson. Another

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>season of Scary Terry is on the way. McLaurin inked

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>a three year contract extension, making him a commander through

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty five season. The wide receiver led Washington

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and receiving yards through the past three seasons, accumulating over

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>three thousand yards and sixteen touchdowns. I sat down with

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Terry after the signing. Terry, I see that smile. How

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>does it feel. I mean, you just finally inked the deal.

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure this is something that you dream. I mean,

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you dream to get in the NFL, but you also

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>want to get you want to get that contract. Yeah.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Is super exciting to kind of have this culmination to

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>come here and sign my extension, to stay with this

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>team that drafted me. That kind of initiated my dream

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>with just being in the NFL. And I remember getting

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>here and just being so happy to be in the

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunity that I had. UM. You know, guys, bless me

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>with so many great opportunities and just the ability that

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I have and UM to come here and sign that

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.119
<v Speaker 1>contract and make things efficial to stay here as UM

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the leaders of this team and just so

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>many goals we have going forward. Is really exciting to

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>share this moment with my family, my girlfriend, and my agents.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's been really an exciting day. And uh,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, this smile may not like off for a

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Should it shouldn't? It shouldn't. It's great. It's

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, you talk about your God given abilities,

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 1>but let's let's not deny the fact that you've worked

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>really hard for this too. There's a lot of aspects

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>of your game that are earned throughout that as well. Yeah, um,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>where do you feel that your game most because you

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>get paid for what you did? Where do you feel

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>your game really kind of that work paid off to

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>where you're at today? Um? I think, honestly, just my

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>ability to be able to increase my ball skills. I

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think that was something that was really a point of

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>emphasis and college, and I remember just being in the

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>indoor at Ohio State and trying to create different drills

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and trying to increase my ball skills where it's contested

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>catches or just catching the ball in a way that

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>was cleaner and just gave me the best ability to

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>do something with the ball. As soon as I got

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it and now just to see I'm you know, my

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>drop percentage is really low and my contested catches led

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the league. And that's just a testament to the hard

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>work that I was trying to put in during that time.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>And you really never know at the time when that's

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>going to show up, when you're going to need it most.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So it just makes me want to continue to try

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to improve on the weaknesses I may have in my

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>game and then continue to make my strengths even stronger.

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>So the work ethic is something that I've always prided

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>myself in, and no matter what the opportunity that I

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>head in front of me, I knew I wanted to

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>prepared for those moments by putting the work in when

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>nobody else was watching. So you talk about your hands

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of the ability to do that, But does that

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>still resonate with you when Ohio states so that's something

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>we want you to work on. Is that something that

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>still impacts you today? I mean definitely. I think I'm

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>always trying to analyze my game and see where I

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>can see improvements, and I think that the time you

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>get complacency in this league is the kind of when

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you get passed by, and so I'm always looking to

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>try to stay on top of my game, whether it's

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>my route running, my releases. It was something that was

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>very big and last offseason I wanted to improve on.

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And so it's just things that I always wanted to

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>continue to focus on in my game that I can

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>keep me at the top of my level and continue

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep to be my best for this team and

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the best receivers in this league. Another thing

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you touched on is staying here. Yeah. You know, this

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>is the league where a lot of guys, you know,

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>people typically would follow a team and the players would move,

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and so now a lot of times people follow the

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>players to whichever teams they go to. Why was it

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>important for you to stay here? I mean, I think

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I got a very unique opportunity to come and play

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>for you know, Washington, and I got that call that

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>night in Indianapolis to you know, be a part of

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>this organization and just the history that this organization has

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>in the winning culture and the Super Bowls, and having

0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Doug Williams around, who's been a mentor of mine. I

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>get the even where his seventeen again, and so um,

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just was super special to come in

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>here and I had an opportunity to be able to

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>contribute right away. And you know, I was very excited

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>for my opportunity to come you know, help the team

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>anyway I could. But I knew I had the chance

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to play a big role as a receiver as a rookie.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I was very fortunate to have some

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>really good mentors my rookie year that really helped me

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>be prepared for my opportunities. And I was just putting

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the work in and excited so um, you know, and

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>just these fans, they're so passionate, you know what I mean.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>There's there's really no fan based like them in the NFL.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>To me, and the way they supported me and just

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>encouraged me, and autographs I get to sign, and seeing

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>them out at camp, it's just it makes it makes

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>my heart really happy to be able to stay here

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and continue to try to build something back to where

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it should be. And uh, I know we got a

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of great guys in the locker room that are

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have the same goals in mind set as I do.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I know you're gonna say winning is most important over everything,

0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and of course it is, um, but personally you're starting

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to break records that were set by Gary Clark, and

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>he got that for being here and staying at this franchise.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>But just in a short time, in three years, you're

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>already breaking those records. Give a thousand yards season last year.

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 1>How much do you pay attention to just and I

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know how real you can be, but how they're

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>saying to pay attention to come on, when you see

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>those numbers and those records being broken on you individually,

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's definitely very humbling when you see guys

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>like you're in the conversation with Gary Clark and our

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>monk in Santana like to be just in the conversation

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>with those guys extremely humbling from me. And to be

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>able to achieve some of those things so early in

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>my career is definitely very exciting and it's something I

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>really take pride in. And you know, at the end

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I really do just love being around

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the guys and winning football games. But i'd be lying

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to say I don't want to be like the best

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>player I can be and try to, you know, reset

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>some of those records and things like that. But I

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>think that just comes with the everyday work ethic that

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I try to bring, the competitiveness, the leadership, and I

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 1>think the rest takes care of itself. So I'm really

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>excited to continue to try to be my best and improve,

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, individually, but help our team in our offense improve.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>This year, you get a new quarterback again, another quarterback

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to work with. Um, you haven't been on the field

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with him yet because you were waiting for this to

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>be signed before you get out there. So we'll see

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you on a training camp. But what are you anticipating

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you can do with Carson knowing the arm that he

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>has and then also the other weapons you know, Curtis, say,

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Curtis healthy, John Dotson coming in here. What are you anticipating. Yeah,

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I haven't got to be on the field with Carson

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>quite yet, but we've we've really got to be able

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to build a personal relationship over the last few months.

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was texting me all throughout the off season,

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>just checking in on me, seeing how I was doing.

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, personally, he's just a really a really

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>good guy that I feel like we were going to

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>get along personally and just as a competitor. You know,

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>he's been doing this at that very high level at

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the early part of his career, and you know, hopefully

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I could just add something to his game and be

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a guy that he could really trust and depend on.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think no matter the quarterback that's been here,

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I've just always wanted to make their job as easy

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 1>as possible. So whether that's getting the extra work to

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>try to make up some of the time we missed

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in camp or watching film we're just hanging out. I

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna have some opportunities to grow together, and

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that will permeate throughout our group,

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the receivers and the quarterbacks, and I'm really excited to

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>be a part of our guys again. I think we

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>have a really interesting dynamic group this year. Young, some vets,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>some guys who can come in and step into spots

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>when we need them with camp sims, and I'm really

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>excited to see how we all gail together and mesh

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>this camp to see how we can make some explosive

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>plays happen. Because I think talking to Coach with Very

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and Coach Turner and things like that, we want to

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>really make more explosive plays down the field, and we

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>know how big that is. In this NFL with you know,

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>points and scoring points and making big plays. So I'm

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>really excited to see how everybody starts to jail together

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, do my best as the leader to

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>try to push everybody. I know they're gonna push me

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. So that's that's the fun part competition, that's

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>really where you get better. You've seen over the past

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>few years or this team really kind of invest a

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>lot on defense this offseason. They kind of made it

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a point to say, Okay, we've got Carson, we've gone Terry,

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we need to make sure that we invest on the

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive side of the ball. How do you see this

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>offense maybe different than what you've had so far in

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the past. Well, I think we're really strong upfront. Um

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think coach Masko does a really good

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>job with the guys up front. You know, Charles and

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Chase obviously guys have been around for a little while,

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and Wes and the new guys that we brought in

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't got to meet yet. I think it really

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>starts up front with the old line that we have

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and the toughness that they bring. I think that sets

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the tone for our offense. But um, I think think

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>as many weapons as we have, I think it's really

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy could possibly be the limit if we put

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the work in each and every day to try to

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>mention Jail. So we're on the same same page, and

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's not going to be like all on

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>me or all on one guy, all on Carson. I

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>think a group collective efforts really is what's gonna make

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>this offense successful to where defenses have to respect the

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>run game with Antonio and j D and the other

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>guys in that room, and the tight ends with Logan

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>come back healthy and in what John Bass does in

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 1>our run game and in the past game. So I

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>think we really have a dynamic group UM of a

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of versatile guys who are smart and unselfish. I

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>think when you have a collective group like that, you

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity to do a lot of great things.

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>But we're just gonna try to take it a day

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>at a time. Just one ball, try though, Yeah, just

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 1>one ball. But I mean coming from college, I mean

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, I know what that's

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>like to um. You know, the ball to be distributed.

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But that also I know what I have to do

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and bring to this table and be the guy that

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>could make the plays when we need them most. But

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's very exciting that we have other guys

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>can make plays when we need them as well. And um,

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>like I said, when you when in this league, now

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you see teams with a lot of different dynamic weapons,

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think that will really help us guys to

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>develop and step into their role to make this offense

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a complete offense this year. All right, when you look, queen,

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. You got the chains. I mean you're

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>looking you're looking like that contract. Um, but let me

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>ask you, is it going to be the fishing poles

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to get upgraded or the golfing clubs? I haven't decided.

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>My partner's at PXG actually upgrading my golf clubs to

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>their new gym five, So shout out to them for that.

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been really kind of get some golfing because once

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the season starts, I got to kind of put so

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>now that you couldn't afford everything for free, it's a blessed.

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a blessed. So maybe, um, you know, I maybe

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>upgrade my dad's golf clubs or something like that. But um,

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm really excited just to you know, tie

<v Speaker 1>doing in this community, and um, you know, I want

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to be continue to be a part of that. And

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 1>UM you know, I know I'm not being blessed with

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.280
