28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: Then, So what's your favorite part about Super Bowl Week?

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a couple of things. One, it's an

30
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: annual reunion, right every year, you think about it, most

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: industries in the world of business, they have an annual conference,

32
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 4: they have an annual meeting. There's something that brings people back.

33
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: This is our annual meeting. This is our annual conference.

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: And so to see current players, former players, to see executives,

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: people in the media world, people across the world of sports,

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 4: is always phenomenal to reconnect and catch up with people

37
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: you haven't seen since the previous year.

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: How much business or work do you think you get

39
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: done when you come here, because I know you probably assume, okay,

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: I want to try and get this, this and this,

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: But you're an entrepreneur. You do a lot of different

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: things that are on your resume. So like, how much

43
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: work do you get done here?

44
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: I get a lot that get a lot done. I mean,

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: because work is both art and science. And then the

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: work that we do obviously they're as a science component

47
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: and you've got to spend time digging in the numbers

48
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: and evaluating and doing diligence and looking at opportunities, whether

49
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: that be a company or a fund. But then there's

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: the art part, which is the human part. And so

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: that's the interaction and the ability to have discernment and

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: spend time with people and oftentimes figuring out how to

53
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: bring value to others. And so this is a great

54
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: place to bring value to people, to get to have generals,

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: talk with generals to help facilitate the appropriate introductions. And

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: so we spend a lot of time trying to make

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 4: sure folks have access to the appropriate people, the right people.

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: And then behind it, we spend a lot of time educating.

59
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: You guys know this. There is a tremendous amount of

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: noise out there. Some of it's good, some of it

61
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: maybe not so good. We try to cut through the

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: noise and hopefully give our community, especially the world of athletes,

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: the opportunity here and learn from the men and women

64
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: that are the best, specifically in our backyard, which is

65
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: Silicon Valley. And so this is a full week for

66
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: us of activity and bringing great people together.

67
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480

Speaker 3: You gotta have it, you gotta have it all right.

88
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: So you know your super Bowl? Talking about your super

89
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: Bowl in Tampa Bay. That was a great team and defensively,

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: that's what every already knew you guys about, right.

91
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you think about I didn't mean

92
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: to cut you off, but I mean you think about

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: that team. I don't know if I can if I

94
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: can name another defense in the NFL in NFL history,

95
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: that has four Hall of Famers on that defense that

96
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: won Super Bowls. You think about John Lynch and Warren

97
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 4: Sap and Rendez Barber. You think about Derek Brooks, you

98
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: think about Simeon.

99
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Simm Is, the one that's out.

100
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: He's out. He just got his number retired. With press

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: is trying to make a you know, trying to trying

102
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: to make a push push for him. I wish he

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: was so good.

104
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: He was even at Illinois where he came from, like

105
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: watching him and.

106
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: Sack Master, Yeah, he was, you know, he had the

107
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: sack Master quarterback killer on the inside. I mean it

108
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: was a dangerous upfront.

109
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: What was it like hanging out with that that defense,

110
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: those guys that.

111
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: Was a locker room line. Yeah, because I came in

112
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 4: as I came and as my rookie year. OK, so

113
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: you come in and you got to you know, you know,

114
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: the pecking order really quickly.

115
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 5: Yeah.

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: But I will say the level of accountability, the level

117
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: of attention to detail, the pursuit of excellent on that team.

118
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: The standard, like the standard was the standard, and if

119
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: you didn't buy in, you were quickly washed out. And

120
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: so it it honestly, it allowed me to play as

121
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 4: long as I did, because I saw what greatness looked like.

122
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: I saw the way they practiced, why they walked, the

123
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: way they talked, the way they talked shit, the way

124
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: they held each other accountable. I mean, it was incredible,

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: and they didn't. The amazing part is it was the

126
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: first time where no disrespect to our offense. They really

127
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: didn't care what our offense did. They felt like the

128
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: responsibility was on their defense to win the game, to

129
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: score points, to create turnovers. It was that type of

130
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: mentality like, well, we'll just fundamentally win the game on

131
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: our own. We don't actually the offense.

132
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: Is you know, I mean, we appreciate it that way,

133
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: It'll be okay, what I appreciate about that.

134
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: That's how it was in Chicago.

135
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: Now, we didn't have the best offense, but we were

136
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: so the team, the city, I think even the organization.

137
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: They were just like, no, it's about the defense, and

138
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: we didn't really care about what our offense did or

139
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: how many We did care how many points that score,

140
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: but at the same time we really didn't because we

141
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: were trying to win games.

142
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 4: They could put three on the board. We felt like

143
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: you got a chance.

144
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: To exactly if they don't.

145
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 5: It is.

146
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: It is, but when you're around it, you're just.

147
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: I remember Gruden came in. That was Gruden's first year,

148
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: and he challenged the defense not just to get turnovers,

149
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: but to score touchdowns. I've never seen a coach challenge

150
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: of defense to get touchdowns. And at the end of

151
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: that year, I think we set the record for I

152
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 4: don't know, it might have been broken by now for

153
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: the number of touchdowns scored by a defense. I mean

154
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: that was. Yeah, it was an incredible atmosphere to walk into. Yeah,

155
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: now that locker room. You guys know the locker room.

156
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: You know, you got guys like SAP and you know,

157
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: there's there's there's. It was dynamic, it was energetic, you know,

158
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: you you had to be careful what you said.

159
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh it was also before social media were guys like

160
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: you just got to understand that that that is a

161
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: different element.

162
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 4: There's no HR departments in locker room. That's a beautiful thing.

163
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 5: That's what I said.

164
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: You talk about some of the work you're doing in

165
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: next legacy.

166
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so at next leg see currently we are you know,

167
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: I started the firm twenty fourteen. Fast forward to where

168
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: we are today twenty five people about four billion under management.

169
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: We have really four distinct products that we invest out of.

170
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: Our flagship product is our fund to fund product. I

171
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: learned early on from my father and many other great

172
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: men that have invested in Silicon Valley in the world

173
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: of tech for a long time that if you're going

174
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: to play in this game, you better play with the

175
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: very best. And we're very fortunate at that fund to

176
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: invest in iconic venture capital funds and we're able to

177
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: put dollars to work with those managers and thankfully they've

178
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: been able to generate returns. What's unique about that fund

179
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: is all of our investors direct their proceeds the money

180
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: that we returned to them to charitable causes, and so

181
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: over the history of our firm, we've given back about

182
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: three billion dollars back to nonprofits and foundations and organizations

183
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: around the world, and so I'm extremely proud of that.

184
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: On top of that, you know, we have I don't know,

185
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy plus athletes, thirty ish team owners

186
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: across sports. We've been able to be a bridge to

187
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: give our community the opportunity to have a seat at

188
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: the table in this world of tech, to learn to

189
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: connect and engage with people that we think are doing

190
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: things at the highest level. And so no dole moments.

191
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: It's a full time gig. I eat, sleep, and breathe it.

192
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: I'll drink the kool aid hard. I think the world

193
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: of technology is fascinating. It's as competitive as it is

194
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: as football was. And if you think about what's going

195
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: on with this world of AI right now, I mean,

196
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 4: what we're going to see over the next five years

197
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 4: and all of our lives will be transformational. The fact

198
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: that we can put dollars to work in companies that

199
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: are changing the world and changing the trajectory on how

200
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 4: we operate as a society, that's pretty phenomenal.

201
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: Okay, you brought it up, So I just got to

202
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: know because you're still a valley You're you know, how

203
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: does it make you nervous?

204
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: The technology?

205
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: I think all all all change makes everybody nervous. Okay, good,

206
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: And so I think it's like most things we've seen

207
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: with step functions of technology shifts throughout the history of technology.

208
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: People you'll use that tool for good and then there

209
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: are bad actors. Unfortunately, man has shown us that they're

210
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: not all wired the same, and so they will use

211
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: that technology and inappropriate ways, and that that makes me nervous.

212
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: Me too, but too, But I still carrying. You know,

213
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: as we get older, you fight this, but you got

214
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: to carry a level of optimism. You got to carry

215
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: a level of belief. And the others that are out

216
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: there that are going to continue to fight for the good,

217
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: that are going to continue to champion doing the right thing,

218
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: that are going to be scared and hold the line

219
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: and create standards and accountability. That's what we have to

220
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: believe that there are men and women that will stand

221
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 4: up and hopefully there's more of them than less of them.

222
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 5: Yeah.

223
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, So where does that entrepreneur drive come from?

224
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: It's a great question, and it's a question that I

225
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: ask a lot of a lot of founders because if

226
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: you think about being an athlete or an entrepreneur or

227
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: building something you're doing, you're trying to attempt to do

228
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: the impossible and make it very possible. Usually there's something

229
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: in someone's life that has triggered them a moment, a girlfriend,

230
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: a parent, a life situation that's given them some internal drive.

231
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: I think for me it's two things. One, I had

232
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: a father that is excellent in all things. The pursuit

233
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: to get his approval, the pursuit to win his attention

234
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: to a certain extent from a young age. That's that's

235
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: always going to be an underlining drive. And then on

236
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: the second part of that is I understand the opportunity

237
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: as athletes that we have. We are so privileged. Good

238
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 4: Man upstairs has given us so many opportunities to be

239
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: able to be a voice, to be able to be

240
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: an ambassador, to be able to speak up for others

241
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: that may not have a voice. And so for me,

242
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: my drive to be able to put us in a

243
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: position to continue to win beyond in our second act,

244
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: in our in our post careers, and that fuels me

245
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: every single day. I carry that responsibility so that I

246
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: can make sure that others say, oh well there's hey,

247
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: there's life after ball. There are other ways to approach

248
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 4: this game and find ways to continue to be champions

249
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: in life. And so the combination of those they get

250
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: me out of bed.

251
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: You definitely got that spirit, Like you can tell I

252
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: want you to tell me, and I know you're going

253
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: to do a great job. Tell me more about the

254
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: Ryan Eese Foundation. When did you start it?

255
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: We're celebrating twenty years it's crazy, and as you guys know,

256
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've maybe had your own foundations as athletes,

257
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: and it's it's kind of part of like a rite

258
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 4: of passage to face say you have a foundation. I

259
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: wasn't that creative with the name, obviously spending a lot

260
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: of time clearly.

261
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: Original, that's I usually describe it.

262
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: It's original. But I knew, you know, giving back was

263
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: something that was really important. My mom's taught me that,

264
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: my father showed me that, and a philosophy that I

265
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: lived by to this day is a giving hand is

266
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: never empty. And so I always found the more that

267
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: I gave, the more that I got back. And when

268
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: I went to Tampa, I didn't know anybody. I didn't

269
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: really care for the city. At first, I was an

270
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: LA guy. I was trying to get adjusted to a

271
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: new city. And all of a sudden we went as

272
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and I start spending time in the community,

273
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, I realized that I really

274
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: enjoy and love the community because of what it was

275
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: giving to me. And at that time, I realized, you

276
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: know what, I need to create an organization that I

277
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: think can give back. And truthfully, I didn't know exactly

278
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: what we were gonna do. I just wanted to make

279
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 4: a den, and so we were giving away cars. We

280
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: were helping moms, we were helping dads, we were having breakfasts,

281
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: we were having lunches, we were doing all kinds of stuff,

282
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: and people like, man, you guys do amazing work, but

283
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: I don't know what you do. And so at that

284
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: point I realized that there are amazing organizations that are

285
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: trying to eradicate homelessness, that are trying to cure cancer,

286
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: that are trying to find ways to help those in need.

287
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna I didn't either recreate the WHELL. But

288
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: what I realized is those organizations have board members, volunteers, sponsors, donors,

289
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 4: and men and women that are helping those organizations succeed.

290
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: And I felt at that time that young people and

291
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: I still think it is today, were starting to be

292
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: indoctrinated with messages about taking care of self, and if

293
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: we didn't start to teach them about the power of giving,

294
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 4: about thinking about others, about finding ways to make a

295
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: different diference, that those organizations that were doing amazing work

296
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: would loser volunteers, would lose board members, and would lose

297
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: support down the road, and so I wrote and created

298
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: a curriculum that teaches young high school juniors and seniors

299
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: the principles of the power of giving. And through that curriculum,

300
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: it helps them understand how to be more courageous as

301
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: a servant leader, to find ways to look at others

302
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: and see needs and step up. And so you know,

303
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 4: now twenty years later, that program and that curriculum is

304
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: in seventeen schools in the Tampa Bay Area. We'll launch

305
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: programming here in the Bay Area in San Francisco next

306
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: school season, which is an exciting, exciting to be in

307
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: two cities. So really proud of the work that we're

308
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: doing there. And what's amazing is we start with one question.

309
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: I think sometimes it's you know you guys, get back

310
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: to the basics, the fundamentals. Do something that's very simple,

311
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: and then build from there. When's the last time you

312
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: asked a family member or friend how can I help you?

313
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: And then hopefully our students learn that question, are able

314
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: at the end of the program to say I asked

315
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: that question on a regular basis, because if we can

316
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: do that, I think lives can be changed.

317
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: So I have a cold tub in my little basement. Yeah,

318
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't use it all the time, but I need

319
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: to use it more.

320
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: Okay, tell me this love you have for taking coal showers.

321
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: Oh, man, took one this morning. I love it. I mean,

322
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: it's part of it's this, it's mental Okay, you know,

323
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: part of what I've learned. Where I feel alive in

324
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 4: life is when i'm at the extremes. Yeah, whether you're

325
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: you know, working out and you're in that moment where

326
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: you actually are doing a rep to failure, or when

327
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: you're in a moment where you're in a cold tub

328
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 4: and in your mind, every ounce of you, every selling

329
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: your body is telling you, I need to get out

330
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: of this. How can I calm myself? I feel alive

331
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: in those moments? Yeah, I've all find it. I find it.

332
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: It's therapy. And so the cold showers routine for me,

333
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: it wakes me up. It's a nice way to uh

334
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: get up and start the day and after.

335
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Is it like a long cold shower? Is it just

336
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: like a quick stays.

337
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. And actually a cold shower

338
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 4: standing like you take a cold shower in New York

339
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: this time of year, so that water is a little

340
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: different than the West Coast, Like the temperature is a

341
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: little different, but it stays on cold. I take it

342
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: the whole time. It's a cold shower, so it's like

343
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: a normal shower. It's just cold the whole time.

344
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: Okay, you know, Peanut, I gotta be honest. I think

345
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: that's the first one we've had, like cold shower. It's fine,

346
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: Like I take cold showers after a hot sonner, but

347
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,200

00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Where does that come from?

398
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 6: You know, I grew I grew up my father was

399
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 6: a big barbecue guy. You know, my mom was a cook,

400
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 6: my grandma was a cook, and my great was cooked.

401
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 6: So I grew up around nothing but great cooks. But

402
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: my dad was the barbecue guy. And you know, I

403
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 6: just started my barbecue sauce. Now I gotta have it.

404
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 6: Gh I forgot to have it because of my father,

405
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: because growing up, he used to say, you know, I

406
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 6: need this, go, I gotta have it. Go, get in

407
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: the onion. I gotta have it.

408
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 5: He always got to have it, right. I like it.

409
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 6: And as I got, as I got into the NFL,

410
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 6: you know, we have got to have it situations. So

411
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 6: when I heard bills like hey, and it's got to

412
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: have a situation, I'm like, dang, that's my daddy. I

413
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 6: holy smoke. So when he said it, it just brought

414
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 6: me back to a childhood with barbecue. And that's why

415
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 6: I came out with my barbecue sauce. Got to have it.

416
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 6: But my barbecue comes from my father, my upbringing, and

417
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 6: that's what we did, you know, every week every weekend

418
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 6: that's were grilling. You know, we're grilling. And it's stuck

419
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: to me and I just try to perfect it. Now

420
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 6: at this point in my life, so everything's going good.

421
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 6: I'm happy with it. But I'm a foodie. I'm a foodie.

422
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: I take the barbecue from my father, and I take

423
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 6: the baking and the dishes on the on the stove

424
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 6: from my mom and my grandmother and that side of

425
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 6: the family. So I'm all in one. It's not just

Speaker 6: overalls on and I go to work. If I'm bailing

472
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 6: hay or the cows, that's how I used to Oh,

473
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 6: I'm fishing and cooking.

474
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 5: That's how it worked.

475
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 6: And I just thought, let me let me show Houston

476
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,240

00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

Speaker 6: And when I came in with that, and I swear

479
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 6: to this day, people stopped me. To this day, they

480
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 6: always want the overalls, they always wants and it was

481
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 6: so organic and natural.

Speaker 1: We're gonna take a short break and we'll be back

483
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: in the MIDI.

484
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: I love the hat, I love the shirt. My dad

485
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 2: was in the Army. I've been in Iraq, I've been overseas.

486
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: I've done been to Germany, Japan, Kuwait. I've done so

487
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: many US SOL tours. Yes, they're awesome. Talk to me

488
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: about what you're doing with us.

00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 6: You know, my father is a Vietnam bat, my father

00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 6: in law was a Vietnam vet. And my wife, she's

491
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 6: a brat, you know, military brat and military was always

492
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 6: close to me. For some reason, I always threw myself

493
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 6: to these guys and throughout my whole life, throughout my career,

494
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 6: having be a militant, being his background military, so we

495
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 6: used to be surrounded by military. So when the USO

496
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: came aboard and was like, hey, do you want to come,

497
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 6: you know, go with us and hang out with the

498
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 6: troops overseas.

499
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: I'm like, hell, yeah, let's do it, you know.

500
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 6: And in three years we've be being in eleven countries Africa.

501
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 6: We was in Kuwait, Yeah, did Sicily, Djibouti, Jordan still to.

502
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Go to Jibuti, you know, Jordan. Yeah.

503
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 6: So that's what we just did this past December. And

504
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 6: when I tell you, it's like to look on their faces. Wheah,

505
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 6: people come visit and see them and just talk with them.

506
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 6: A lot of football fans love football, you know, especially

507
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 6: with New England in the past two decades. So I

508
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 6: have a lot of Patriots fans and I'm like, listen,

509
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 6: you guys are the true Patriots, like you are the heroes.

510
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 6: We are here for you. And I think the USO

511
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 6: do a real good job of trying to bridge that

512
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 6: gap for guys that's that's out and haven't seen family

513
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 6: in years, right, you know, eighteen nineteen, twenty years old

514
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: away from family to get homesick, right, And that's what

515
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 6: the USO is all about. Those guys like that, whatever

516
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 6: you need, they try to make it, try to lighten

517
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 6: their low and just being able to sow them and understand, like, hey,

518
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 6: we love and respect and support everything you stand for

519
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 6: for us as Americans, because you guys look at me

520
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 6: as this great football player, this, that and the other.

521
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 6: I'm like, but if it wasn't for what you do,

522
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be possible for us to do and give

523
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 6: you guys this soul. Always, we always want to make

524
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: sure and have them understand this isn't about us, but

525
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 6: the freedom that you guys, the daily sacrifices that you

526
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 6: guys make daily for us and your families, Like it

527
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 6: doesn't go unnoticed, and sometimes it can get lost in

528
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 6: the shuffle right when you when you deploy it and

529
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 6: you're away from people for years and you really don't

530
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 6: see nobody but the same people that you you know,

531
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 6: you hanging and banging with your war buddies or your

532
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 6: new family and the military, and all all of a sudden,

533
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 6: you know you have these celebrities coming and come hang

534
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: out with you, just to spend an hour with them.

535
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 5: It goes a long way.

536
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 6: And the one thing that touch my heart the most

537
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 6: is when I come back and I get emails from

538
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 6: the family members, the mothers, the fathers, the sisters, the husbands,

539
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 6: the wives just telling me how much they enjoyed because

540
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 6: their brother over there, they took a picture and what

541
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 6: you did for them, it goes a long way. And

542
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 6: that's the reason we do it, right, to show them

543
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 6: how much we love and respect them. And that's what

544
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 6: always gives me kind of goosebumps because man, I can

545
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: be all the way and kuwait and here all of

546
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 6: a sudden, I can check my phone and Instagram and

547
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 6: I have a message from one of the soldiers that

548
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 6: we exchanged in the staying country. That's what it's all about,

549
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: just being able to give them that camaraderie. And you

550
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 6: know part of sports, camaraderie is huge, right, That's what

551
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 6: it is.

552
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 5: Right.

553
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 6: So when you hanging and banging with those with your

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 6: fellow teammates, your soldiers and troops, you want to make

555
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 6: sure you have that camaraderie. And so that's what we

556
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 6: give them. We give them that sense of piece, we

557
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 6: give them that support, that love, and we just showed

558
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 6: them this how much we love them.

559
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: Man, appreciate it.

560
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: I got I got one. I got a question for you.

561
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: So everybody always you know, go back to Super Bowls

562
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: forty nine, everybody.

563
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: Always talks about the interception.

564
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: But I want to know what you were thinking, Vince

565
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: when you playing defense and all of a sudden, Marshawn

566
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 3: runs the ball all the way down to the one

567
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: yard line, Like, what's going through your mind?

568
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 5: Now?

569
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I know gotta have it.

570
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 5: I gotta have it. Baby. That was a guy. I

571
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: have a situation. You understand that. Hey, we got it now, right?

572
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 6: So me, I'm sitting here saying, many to run this boy,

573
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 6: because my mindset is it's the best best back in

574
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 6: the game on the one yard line. I'm going to

575
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 6: pound him. If I'm the coach, I'm pounding this. I

576
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 6: don't care what you put in front of him. I'm

577
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 6: pounding them. So I'm thinking run all day, all day,

578
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 6: I'm thinking run in when they put yeah, when they

579
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 6: put it in the air, I'm like, man, that was bold.

580
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 6: But at the same time, I get it. But yeah,

581
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 6: with a back like that, Yeah, I don't even care

582
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 6: if I had Marshall on a not on the one

583
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 6: yard line. Man, whoever back there getting all my grandma

584
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 6: could be back there.

585
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: I'm a line up one yard behind me and gotta

586
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 5: have it.

587
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 6: Then you don't get too far back there, No, you

588
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 6: can't get I need you right here and I'm to

589
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 6: do this or I'm sneaking howl.

590
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: But I'm not an offensive minded guy. Understand offense.

591
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 6: But it's stupid to me when you go get line

592
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 6: up and shotgun on the one yard line, Like I

593
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: still want to understand that right under Like like you

594
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 6: line it coached themselves and it cost them, and it

595
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: cost it cost them, it cast them.

596
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: How did you treat super Bowl Week?

597
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: I tried to treat you know, the two times we

598
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: came here, I've been to Super Bowls.

599
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: I treated it like a normal game week. Pretty successful

600
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: for me.

601
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 5: What was your same thing?

602
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Same thing?

603
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 6: Like I never my whole career. I never got too high,

604
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 6: never too low. Any game I played Super Bowl, it

605
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 6: was just the same thing. You know, you have family

606
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 6: to come in and allocated some time to family, but hey,

607
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: when it's time to work, I'm working. I'll see you

608
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 6: guys after the game. And it was no different. You know,

609
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 6: game week were here for a reason. Business, no business,

610
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 6: that's just what it is.

611
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: We got. We play this game to get here.

612
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: So I'm not gonna let one week affect the outcome

613
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: of this game and me going to do something stupid

614
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 6: or nothing or doing something that I normally don't do.

615
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 6: I'm just not gonna do that. I'm gonna stay locked in.

616
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 6: I'm gonna treat it normal. And I think Bill did

617
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 6: a real good job of us too, just explaining to

618
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 6: like the new guys, like, Okay, now you know, instead

619
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 6: of having thirteen minutes it green in the game, you

620
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 6: got twenty minutes, right, So to warm up, you have

621
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 6: to do things different, okay.

622
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: Instead of have time being X amount of time, it's

623
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: this time.

624
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 6: So don't you know, don't do nothing crazy relaxed, because

625
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 6: we have guys that go in there and get sick

626
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,400
