34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,280

Speaker 1: This time of year, you're obviously so busy. How precious

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: are those moments you get with family when when you

83
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: do get a couple of days off here, Yeah, it's great.

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: You know when you get a day or you know,

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: the day or two with the family just kind of

86
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, hang around with the family and stay

87

89
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: the kids and a wife. So that's always a good time.

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: You do some cooking. Uh yeah, I do a little

91
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: bit of cooking. What's your specialty? Spaghetti? Spaghetti and spaghetti's

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: one thing you make the saucer. Just no, I don't

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: make the sauce. But you know, I think the way

94
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: I put it all together is that prey go for

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: sure you cook at home much? No, No, I don't.

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a cook. My wife is exceptional. Um I

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: can order some good takeout, Oh me too, I'm good.

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: That's a good skill to have, I suppose. But no,

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: my wife she's amazing. I'm think King George. She cooks

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: most nights and if she isn't, then we're ordering something

101
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: or we have prep to meals that we have delivered.

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: So one thing I think, you know, getting to getting

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: the meals and all that that the fans may be

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: done to understand for for you guys, is the commitment

105
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: throughout the week. What's a typical day like, I mean,

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: I know every day's different, but how how long hours

107
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: are you putting in during the season, you know that

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: time away from home. Yeah, um, I mean, I'm it's

109
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: usually pretty early, uh you know, just depending on the day.

110
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: I would say usually from like seven seven, seven o'clock

111
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: in the morning, sixty six thirty in the morning until

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: like six or seven at night, you know, not too

113
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: many breaks. And it's funny because people just think, you know,

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: when I tell people I'm at work, car, you know,

115
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I gotta go to my job or something.

116
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: They think it's just be playing football. But you know,

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: we're in meetings a lot of time, and and I joke,

118
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, but it's like, you know, you're in a

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: room no windows, covered in boards, white white boards, and

120
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: you know you're just sitting there for hours taking notes. Uh. So,

121
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely a long day's exhausting to say

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: the least, so pretty but it's a good time. Pretty

123
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: good to get home. Then when when you get home

124
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: at six or seven or whatever, and see those kids,

125
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: right those when I leave, No, I usually uh they

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: usually up first before us and they wake us up,

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: so they go either one of the play. But it's

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: fun though, and they they they wake up pretty early in.

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: They like to play for us in the morning. We

130
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: were blessed with children who like to sleep in a

131
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, we have to like drag our four

132
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: year old out of bed for daycare seven thirty in

133
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: the morning. She is out, they're ready. That's It's lucky.

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: We're hitting that phase where nap time is non existence.

135
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah out there yet? When did your your when did

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: your six year old give it up? Um? About about

137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: three years old? Now you're going through it again. Yeah,

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: but they're both than school and so um. You know,

139
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: whenever we pick them up from school and bring him home,

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: at least one of them is gonna be passed out,

141
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: if not both them, and usually my son, he'll will

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: carry him in, put him on the couch and I'll

143
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: sleep for another hour or two. Do you ever get

144
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: to do the pick up and drop off at school?

145
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Or your hours not allow that? Um? On Tuesdays? Sometimes

146
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: I do, um, if I'm not crazy busy, But yeah,

147
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean that people people don't also don't know that

148
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: we work. The only day that we're not supposed to

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: work is Tuesday, and then we also come in and

153
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: the weekend travel. I found that as kids get older,

154
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: and you know, when they're young and you get home,

155
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: they're so excited, Oh you're back. Do they ever get,

156
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: especially the older ones, get to where they're almost punishing

157
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: you for being gone. You ever get that where they

158
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: just don't want to hang out with you? My older

159
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: one does that sometimes she just wants mommy when I

160
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: get back. And she used to get so excited to

161
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: see me, and she usually is still, but there's times

162
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: now where you can tell she's a little miff that

163
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: I was gone. Yeah, yeah, that now I don't get that. No,

164
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: when I get home, I try a lie too, but

165
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: I usually always wake them up. There's no way I'm

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: doing that. They they go right back to sleep. They

167
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: just look at see I'm home, and they far right

168
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: back to sleep. Now that's already like if they've been

169
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: sleep I'll do that. But yeah, they're excited when I'll

170
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: come home, and um, you know, they called me while

171
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm on the road, a little FaceTime they call, so

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much in touch with him the whole time.

173
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm want the road. How about to do the FaceTime

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: thing on the road and all that? Yeah? Same, um yeah,

175
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: but I mean the weekend, we're so busy still, but

176
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: yeah we find time. But uh no, I mean whenever

177
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: I get home each day, Um, you know, the first

178
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: thing I do is try to go say, how did

179
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: they is? It's the other day? Was? But yeah, my daughter,

180
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: she gives me attitude no matter what. She's amazing, she's

181
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: she's she's special human being. But uh, you know she's

182
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: so strong willed. It's uh, you know, you got this

183
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: is what it is to it'll serve them well when

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: they get older, but it can be it tests your

185
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: patience right now. Man, man, it does, and it makes

186
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: you kind of change your parenting ways on the run.

187
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, like you were saying, like boys

188
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: are high strong, like come to my house and you'll

189
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: see the opposite. Like why my daughter is kind of

190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: crazy and my son's just kind of this chill little

191
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: red who just wants to partake in activities with everyone

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: and will you play with me? My daughter is just

193
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: like get away from me. You don't know the rules?

194
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Oh man? So they do do they play? Well? Sometimes

195
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: they play they play really good together, but you know

196
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: their siblings, Yeah, they have the arguments. Yeah, I'm ready

197
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to see how my daughter like kind of blends in

198
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: with my boys, because I'm gonna see, like how they're

199
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna adjust to play with your sister. That's I'm really

200
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: just ready to see that. I think my older one's

201
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna be like just fine. My youngest one, though, I

202
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have to be a little bit of

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: jealousy and all that. And he's the middle kid, so

204
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: that's usually how it is. I feel like, so, yeah,

205
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna have to make some adjustice, but I'm

206
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: eager to I'm eager to see that. And um, they're

207
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: they're already like they understand, you know, like the babies

208
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: in the belly, they get that stuff. Stay they like that. Yeah,

209
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun. I can't wait to see that.

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned the attitude and all that. Which one us

211
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: a disciplinarian in your family? Or is it is it

212
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: a shared job or as a mom or is a

213
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: dad who who has to lay down the law? Um?

214
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: We share it. Um. I feel like me personally, like

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, after two day trips, um like away games,

216
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: didn't getting home and it's Monday afternoon, we just got

217
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: back from work or Tuesday, and something goes on. You know,

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: some weeks, I get the vibe from my daughter where

219
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: she's like, you're telling me what to do. I haven't

220
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: even been But like my son, he's just like Dad,

221
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: like I'm here, like let's do what you want. And

222
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: my daughter is like, I run this house. But uh no,

223
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: it's definitely shared. But I mean we we got unique

224
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: ways of doing things, and um, you know, every kid's different,

225
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: so you learn that that just as you go. How

226
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: about you, George, Uh it's me. It's definitely got la

227
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: down a long. I got let the law now. But

228
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: I hate it, you know because sometimes like my wife

229
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: is just you know, those are her those those are

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: her boys. So that's how it is. But uh, I

231
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: just hate it because sometimes like I have to be

232
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the bad guy, so I'll try not to be. Sometimes

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I make her, I make her have to be the person.

234
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: But I'm definitely the disciplinary guy in the family. Sure,

235
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: it's funny. My wife before we had kids said, I

236
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: feel like I'm always gonna have to be the bad guy.

237
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: You're making me do it. But it's been the total opposite.

238
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: And you know, when we're on the road for a game,

239
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: it's like there's no rules. When I'm gone, I swear

240
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: they just go crazy and have so much fun and

241
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: it's like a vacation weekend at home. And then I

242
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: come home and I'm like, lindsay, what happens? Yeah, well,

243
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: I thought it will be opposite with girls. I feel

244
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: like like the mom would be. I thought it would too.

245
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: It's it's fine, it's great, but it's just funny. It

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: was not how either of us thought it would be,

247
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's just sort of the way it's developed. So

248
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: then my four year old she'll be like, Daddy, why

249
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: are you beating me? And Mommy said this, and it's

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: like okay, So I think it's gonna be. I think

251
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: my wife is going to be really on top of

252
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: my daughter where you're not will because I don't think

253
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm ever gonna say no or I don't know, man,

254
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I think I'm I'm I know for sure

255
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: that you know, like she's gonna have me like wrapped

256
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: around her finger. You know, it's not gonna be like

257
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be gonna have my way with her

258
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: right where I want it right right where she wants me,

259
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: Like my boys stay can't do that, but she definitely

260
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: would be. She's scared of being outnumbered. Play in his

261
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: own defense. Then no, I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous.

262
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: I got I got my guys together, they get it.

263
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm just scared of what she's gonna do. I want

264
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: to see how she is that my boys are so

265
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: their personalities are they got really big personalities, my oldest

266
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: one for sure. So I'm reagul to see. I'm ready

267
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: to see how her personality is going to be. And

268
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna blend in with the family. See, you

269
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: guys are obviously in the same position group. You're around

270
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: each other a long time. You ever, you ever kind

271
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: of laugh at how different your lives are from from

272
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: the young guys who don't have any kids, and you

273
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: know what, how their free time has spend differently than years.

274
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, there's a lot of it's a couple

275
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: of guys on the line with us who don't you know,

276
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: have kids, um, and yeah, they definitely have a different life.

277
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I always tell them though, like when

278
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you have kids, you'll understand, like you know, what we

279
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: go through kind of uh, like just why we go

280
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: to bed so early, like just different things like that.

281
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: But it would be people will be like, let's school

282
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: get a dreamline and I'm like, yeah, I can't do that.

283
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, like, what's crazy. I didn't mean to

284
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: cut you after. It's crazy as uh. Whenever I first

285
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: got in the league of my rookie year, um, I

286
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: was one of the only ones with a kid in

287
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: my group, and uh, I was surrounded by nothing but

288
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: old guys of them really had kids. And then uh

289
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: so they were all doing their thing and I was

290
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: over here being twenty twenty three with uh with with

291
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: the daughter and uh yeah, I was living the father

292
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: life and everyone was, you know, living the NFL doing

293
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: whatever they want to do life. So but now it's

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of flip flopped. Now everyone's got a kid in

295
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: our room and there's there's a couple of young guys

296
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: who don't. So it's uh, I've been around too long. Nah,

297
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: you guys both you both have that first kid. You know,

298
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: like you said, you came in with a kid. Did

299
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: you get your first kid? How did that just change

300
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: you and kind of maybe change your focus on your

301
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: career in life, when you know that you're not just

302
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: playing football for fun and maybe to make a little

303
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: money for yourself, but you're you're playing for a family. Well,

304
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: I think I think my daughter, I think Navy was

305
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: a kind of a gift from above whenever she came. Because, um,

306
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I tore my ACL in college and November had surgery

307
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: and then two weeks later my daughter was born. And

308
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: so maybe not even two weeks, but I was still

309
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: on crutches, um like barely getting around the hospital. Um,

310
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I was still on a little bit of pain meds.

311
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: And my wife's over there, she's I don't want to

312
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: I V She's like, no medicine. She's I'm gonna do this,

313
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, badass style. And I'm moved there like yeah,

314
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm hurting, but uh yeah. I mean whenever I tore

315
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: my ACL, I didn't. I didn't think. I thought everything

316
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: was done. I thought my football was done. Um, because

317
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I was the first major injury I had. And so

318
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: my daughter came in and like as soon as I

319
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: saw my daughter being born, to her to cry, I

320
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: was like, I do this for her. And so I

321
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: got my stuff together, I got my act together, got

322
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: back rehabbed. I was out there doing stuff after four

323
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: or five months, and and uh to come to the league,

324
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: Like all I want to do for my family is

325
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: provide for them. Um. I want to leave the game

326
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: with good health, but as long as my kids are

327
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: good throughout their whole life, then then at the end

328
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm happy. Definitely pretty much the same

329
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: just in a year transition for me from switching to

330
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: basketball to football. You know, Um, right away, I had

331
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: my son right before my pro day, so that was

332
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: just an extra boost. And then you know from there

333
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: on when I made a hero as a undra the

334
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: free agent, Uh, that was only thing I can think about,

335
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, just providing for my family, Uh, making it

336
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: to a word they don't have to you know, hurt

337
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: for money or a good life growing up. So yeah,

338
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: it definitely pushed me right away. Uh and it still

339
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: is to this day, Like all my kids is my

340
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: family in general, just you know, and and it helps

341
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: so much because they, like my wife understands where I

342
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: come from, just an athlete, like we both be an

343
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: athletic and basketball. Yeah, so she kind of helped make

344
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: me help me with that transition. To keep that saying

345
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: competitive edge and uh, you know, definitely when I had

346
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the kids, it took it to another level. There. Your

347
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: kids can be basketball players, football players, a little bit

348
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: of both. I don't want to play football. I wanted

349
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: to play basketball and baseball. But right now they're they're sports.

350
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Soccer that's what the that's what they played in the

351
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: most right now. Yeah what sports her kids playing? Jesson. Um,

352
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: they're not doing anything right now. We're just kind of

353
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: letting them go out through them pace and um yeah,

354
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think either of them ready

355
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: to you know, partaking the team's sport. We tried Talker

356
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: this past summer with the year old than it was

357
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: didn't didn't go great. She didn't love it. Yeah, she

358
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: likes her gymnastics class though. That's just running around and

359
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: jumping up and down on things. That's what I'll say.

360
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: I always say, like, you know, don't force them to

361
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: play a different sport, enforce them play sport. But you know,

362
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: if they're into it, then you gotta let them play.

363
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: Which like when they start playing, you can't let them quit. Yeah,

364
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: that's my biggest thing, Like, yeah, you're gonna we made

365
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: her finish that soccer like the eight classes. Yeah, we

366
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: made her finish it. But then we say, you know,

367
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: we can try swimming and we can switch later. Yeah,

368
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: long as we finished. Now good. Justin touched on this earlier.

369
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: But you know, talking about your wife helping out and

370
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: all things she does, we'd be remiss in this this

371
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: blog if we didn't give credit to the mom's just

372
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: in your line of work, with with the time that

373
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: you put in and the travel and everything else. Just

374
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: how how important is is what your wives do to

375
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: keep the house in line while you're gone. It's very important. Um,

376
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: just some of the things that they do, uh, you know,

377
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: just they're superwoman, you know, Dylan, just having to be

378
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: with the kids for most of the day. My wife

379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of take care of our day to day at home.

380
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: So when she does those things, it makes everything easier

381
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: for us. Uh, just on top of the bills, on

382
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: top of you know, things we have to do every

383
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: every day, day to day stuff. So they're superwoman. But

384
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: don't be able to do that things and to support

385
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: for the kids why we're not there. It's just really great.

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah what he said it he knows it. I mean

387
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: without my wife, my house would probably be burned to

388
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: the ground. Right, Um, I probably wouldn't have like electricity,

389
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: or I wouldn't have water, would have turned all that off.

390
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: Um my fridge would be um empty. I mean she

391
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: just does so much. She basically I'm basically like her
