I think that. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.639 Why do I sense a little bit of glad handed 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.960 you slide the hand? Are you over here? And do 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.120 I look like David Blaine?

So watching you on 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.079 Thursday nights doing a great job as usual? Question, thank you, sir. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.760 Question for you, is there a comparison you have between 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.520 live TV and game day? That's a good question. I mean, no, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.720 preparation is still preparation. It's slightly different. Obviously, you get 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.399 a paper cut on TV. You can get your leg 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:44.080 broken on game day. Slide different, right, a little bit, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.959 a little bit. You gotta let's see you know Disney 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:55.760 band aid anesthesian surgery, right, So it's a huge difference 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.040 with the injuries, but it's still preparation, a lot of 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.160 a lot of watching films, sometimes too much film. You 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.960 can also watch I can get in the data with 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.080 so much film and and numbers and facts that you 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.520 start to lose the perspective and your your mind is 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.280 going faster than your mind. You're trying to process, and 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.320 you get numbers and start to you start to put 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.480 names together with the wrong teams and and numbers with 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.120 this and point seven and point this, you know, a 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.359 great examples talking about So we're talking about Tom Brady 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.960 the last couple of weeks and talking about, um, what's 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.600 going on with him in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.360 and I said that one of the things that he's 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.240 had to do, which is he's done for the last 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:44.080 fifteen plus years, is in New England. His philosophy was 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.280 got look short first and allow the deep passes to 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.880 develop as an outlet, which is totally different. But that's 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.280 Tom Brady. That's why he's the goat. But now he's 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:00.200 in Tampa Bay and Bruce Arians kind of offense is 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.320 look deep first, short second. And just to give you 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:10.360 this illustration is Tom Brady's last year in twenty nineteen 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.120 for the New England Patriots. I believe it was roughly 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.279 forty one forty four thousand, one hundred and fifty three 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:23.160 yards yards per temp. I don't have the I can 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.120 look at my phone and tell you, but yards per 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.839 temp is an average of six point seven or six 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:34.400 point six yards per attempt. Last year under Jameis Winston 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.120 Bruce arians offense with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two thousand, nineteen, 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.240 five thousand, one hundred and something yards, so a little 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:48.920 bit below to hundred yards average yards per temp eight 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.479 point six, huge difference, right, just to kind of show it. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:05:01.640 Now in twenty Tampa Bay Buccaneers under under Tom Brady 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.640 right now, seven point four yards per temp. Still below, right, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:12.039 but eat under pressure Tom Brady is average, and I 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.839 believe a little bit above five yards per temp under 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:21.160 pressure barely seven seven point seven yards per temp. So 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.400 obviously not being pressured, not having you know, looking down there, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.919 you can stare things down let long developing play. So basically, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.120 those are some of the things that I experience and 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.920 deal with in the TV world now as a football player. Hey, bro, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.000 they're running this coverage. I don't care if they listened. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.320 Throw me the ball that that that's the difference in 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.440 game day. In playing football, you allow the numbers to 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.880 give you an understandable what plays the run. In TV, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.560 the numbers give you an understanding of why a team 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.480 is good, indifferent, or can't get out of their own way. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.800 So you gave me a good correlation between game day 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.640 and live TV. Has there been a time when you're 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.320 on live TV where maybe you had an instance where 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.000 you you kind of wanted that play back. Well, maybe 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.240 you made a mistake and you kind of wanted that 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.919 play back. Man, live TV sucks because sometimes you just 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.560 get stuck or you go over on the segment and 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.360 you have a good point and you have to skip 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.560 over that segment because now we don't have that time. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.320 So generally an hour show is really only forty seven 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.200 forty six minutes of content because you have commercials. You 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:31.479 gotta pay for the advertisement. So um, But there's also 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.800 a bit some times on live TV. Brother been on 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:39.000 that struggle bus, struggle moment I got I'm an listen. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:43.359 Sometimes you just you're having a bad day. Through the 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.520 magic I can't say the magic of television, through the 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.280 magic of podcasting. We've got a clip queued up. I guess, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.200 so maybe one I guess potentially you want to have 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.280 bad Let's let's let's see if we can get our 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.479 production folks to run that back the production because they 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.400 haven't been the greatest of franchise uh since obviously damn 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:07.520 damn remi uh Dan, I can't even speak right now. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.080 The Marino at the end is what does it for me? 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.680 I was stuck. It was late that night though I'm 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.640 I'm gonna shoot you some bail. It was late that night, 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.080 but that was like one o'clock in the morning. It 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.280 seemed like it was really late. It doesn't matter. I 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.080 was stuck. I get it. I mean, do you know 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:30.080 about Dann Marino's name? Dan Marino? Now now I got 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:42.840 But here's the sad poy. Just laugh, bro, She's like 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.240 two days. I was still jacked up two days after that. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.480 But I was like, I'm just it's when you want 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:54.960 back though, right, want back? Bro? I didn't cry, but 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.680 you run it back. I run it back in my mind, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.600 just like like you had to drop pass like I 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.040 mean being at like, man, I wish I had that. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.120 You just you just screwed up my day. You were 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.120 at the end of the day. Are you hard? Are 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:15.360 again hard? Are again? Enough? Enough with this dollars? But seriously, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.840 it's it was. I was jacked up for about two days. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.720 I was I screwed that one up. Yah yeah you 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.760 got you got, you got more positives than than you 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.320 got or whatever. Man. Hey, so tough crowd.

Yes, one thing? All right? 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.400 Can I can I reanimate it after I get to 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.000 where I go? Can I like, if you shrink something, 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.640 and then can I unshrink it after I get to 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.480 wherever I'm going? Judges, what do I?

That was all that was really inappropriate 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.800 for John? Yeah, I know. Well then I was like, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.440 I was gonna say my dogs, but then if I don't, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.480 if I bring my dogs and that John and that's 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.600 the thing, and so I wanted to but I wanted 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.080 to make sure I could unshrink John after I shrank him. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.760 So yeah, that's the answer. Okay, I will text John 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.040 after to let him he's getting shrunk and playing in 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:27.800 your pocket? Is her husband? Everyone?

There's this picture 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.959 at NFL Films of I think it's Betty Grable, um 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.920 when she was like a young actress with a leather 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.960 football helmet on and a football and it's like this 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.200 glam shot and I saw it at NFL Films and 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.080 I fell in love with it and somehow John figured out, 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.360 like what where to get it and surprise me with it? 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.480 And I love it. I haven't frame in my office. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.199 That's crazy. I just got an email about do we 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.840 still any photos?

Have you seen the 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:26.719 show Neked and Afraid? No, it sounds terrible, Okay, so 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.839 on it's so on Discovery. Um, Discovery Chi was actually 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.400 a great show. So we're gonna kind of play that. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:38.560 But it's called Clothes and Afraid because we have morals. Yes, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.360 you uh, you can only have three items to bring 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:50.319 with you to an uninhabited place. What are your three items? 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.720 And before you answer, would you like me to tell 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.600 you a mine are to kind of help you because 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.640 you don't seem like you watched the show, so it's 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:03.600 you need negative phrase. Basically, they take people and they 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.000 just they disrobe, they don't have any clothes, and then 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.559 they give them survival kick and they like they get 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.640 you get one item, you get one or two items 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.200 and that's it. So mine is my list is I 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:20.079 get a firestarter, a tent, and a huge knife slash machete? 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.360 Oh okay, those are good. Um, now you cannot use 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.520 any of those three. Go I got a knife. A 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.680 knife is a great idea. All right, fine, I'm gonna 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.120 because now you can't because you have anything that has 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.480 a sharp edge. Just yes, you can, just not a 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.800 knife or machete, because that's mine. We're not sharing a 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:46.440 box cutter. Okay, box cutter. How many busts are gonna 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.920 be at an uninhibited island? You on an island by yourself? 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.720 Who knows? Yeah, alright, fine box cutter. I'm gonna go 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.920 with that. How about matches? Is that too close to 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:03.680 fire starter? No? That's that's that's a match. Okay. The 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.800 key is going to be the like the kindle or whatever. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.400 And you gotta watch. And I'm bringing a raft with 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.600 rose attached to it so I can get the hell 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:25.760 out of there. So dead, so you are, it doesn't matter. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.040 I'm get to ask the questions. Listen, I get the win. 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.520 I get the win either way. So taking away the 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.280 box cutter and I'm replacing it with a spear. There 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:44.880 we go. You she just earned her shelf. Three extra 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.280 days of life right there, like a six point because 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.520 she's gonna die. She she gave drink salt water. She 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.319 has no pot to cook it in, so all that 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.520 stuff you learn when you're watching this show. Yeah, but 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.920 I was watching Castaway the other day. So can I 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:07.720 just get some moisture from coconuts? Yes? Because because you 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.680 will never see anybody. But yet she's tanning, right exactly. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.360 I'm give me some channing oil and a volleyball for 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.880 a friend. Okay, all right, all right, a few more. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.160 When was the last time you gotten pulled over the speeding. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.680 I've never gotten pulled over for speeding, but I have 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.560 gotten pulled over for not putting my turn signal on 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.160 early enough to change lanes in the middle of the 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.600 night when I was going to a radio station job 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:40.080 that I had and it was very very shady. M hmm. Yeah, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.760 you're in Philly. Huh. Yeah, but like, how is that 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.880 even a thing? There was nobody on the road dead 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.520 of night, and I got pulled over for not turning 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:54.920 on my turn signal because early enough. Yeah, you were 0:14:54.960 --> 0:15:01.400 in Philly, correct, And you're probably in a sketch neighborhood, right, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.640 A little bit a little bit. Okay, you are not 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.520 African American, but my windows were tinted and they thought 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.400 you were trying to get dope. That's what the score. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.400 This is where if Philly comes out of her Cardi 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:25.080 b or Megan Stallion. You know, I feel like my 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:30.360 allegiances have wavered. Uh. And I really really love Megan 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.760 Stallion like I love her And I don't know what's 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.600 going on with Cardi and Offset lately. I haven't been 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.200 like two into the drama. But you know, I did 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.760 listen to a couple of Cardi songs yesterday, But when 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.080 I was listening to Whop, I was really into the 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.640 Megan Stallion part. I don't know that I qualified. I'm 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.760 talking about the Yeah, I'm not quiet. All right, Let's 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.400 let's get down to who Colleen is, what, what is her? 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.360 What's what is she made of? What makes her tick? 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.240 So here we go. Where are you from in a 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:08.160 place you call your hometown? Well, shoot, that's Philly. Now. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.960 I grew up outside of Philly, um like forty five 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.760 minutes outside, but went to school in Philly, have a 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.360 house in Philly. Still, Philly is my city. I love 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.360 everything about it, the good, the bad, all of it. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.000 It's such an awesome place, and the people are so 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.120 very real there. They will tell you exactly what they're 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:35.520 thinking immediately, and they're all lunatics and mostly related to me. Yeah. So, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.880 how did your hometown impact and shape your perspective on 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.560 how you see the world today. Well, I think Philly 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.280 is really kind of it's it's a rough around the 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.680 edges kind of city. It's very blue collar. It's very 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.840 hard working, and that was something that was like instilled 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.760 in me from the minute I was able to get 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.200 a job. I got a job and I was working, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.800 and I was working multiple jobs at any time, like 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.959 usually usually I had three jobs at a time. And 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.280 then that stopped when I went to college and I 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.800 just had one job. But it was you know, it's 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.800 such a it's a city where everybody really really has 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.080 to scrap for to get ahead and for everything that 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.879 they want. And I think that that has like really 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.520 shaped the way that I kind of look at things. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.800 I over prepare for every single assignment, no matter what 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.320 the heck it is, and that is just something like 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.600 my work ethic was built. I think from Philly. You 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:41.240 it's funny as you over prepare, but you also worry 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:48.240 yourself much. Yeah, and you think that is obviously it 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.320 is a great quality of you. But how do you 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:56.159 handle relaxing? Yeah, so that's a great question. And I 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.640 think a lot of the the worrying, um and the 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.639 sort of anxiety that I get around work is because 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.840 I I just don't want to, like, I'm so competitive 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.240 and I'm so competitive with myself and I don't want 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.760 to let anybody down. That's like with me, that like 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.360 so any I don't want to ever be the weakest 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.880 link basically on any of these shows. I just want 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.760 us to, you know, do as as best we can. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:29.000 And so like I feel like I spend so much 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.920 time preparing and worrying, and then once the show starts, 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.520 I can actually relax. And then once the show is finished, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.920 I can really relax. And that is like my sweet spot. Basically, 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.600 when everything is done and I get through it and 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.280 we do it and it's good and it's great, then 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.480 I can just chill and then I can just kind 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.960 of like coast, have a beer, like watch a show 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.159 and just zone out it. I can relate to that 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.560 because it's also you have the internal standard to write 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.520 like you you don't want to let know write it down. 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.400 And I definitely feel that, but it's you also don't 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.760 want to let yourself down, right, Yeah, And and like 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.560 any time that you know you've been in a spot 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.679 where you realize, oh my god, like I should have 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.760 known that, I, you know, I should have prepared for that. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.040 That sort of I think changes you a little bit. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.159 And you know, I think for me, I what I 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.520 need to do is sort of like dial it back sometimes, 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.720 but it's just like so programmed within me that like 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.399 that's just part of my fabric. So growing up, how 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:35.000 did you believe that the world worked? God, I didn't 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.479 know anything when I was growing up about the world. 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.560 I was like oblivious to a lot of things. Uh. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.280 I was very much in a bubble growing up. Um, 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.920 And I don't think I realized a lot of things 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.119 until I went to college and moved into the city 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.840 and I met different people that grew up in different 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:59.480 circumstances and heard their stories, and it's all really started 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.439 to click and hit me. And I think kind of 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.520 looking back on that now, I realized how isolated I 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.240 was growing up and how much I didn't know, and 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.919 how much I've really changed and grown as a person 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:20.280 since then, how can you say you are isolated? But 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.680 yet when you look at Philly, like here in Philly, 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:29.320 which is Philly is Pennsylvania. Then you've got New Jersey, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.040 which depends kind of like Charlotte, which is depending on 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.040 which route you take, you could be in Philly or 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.480 be in New Jersey with the a few left turns 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.159 and about a mile you know, a mile each way. 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:46.639 So how could you really be isolated in such a 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.840 city that has so much diversity? I know, it's it is. 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.920 It's interesting because yeah, you can get you get to 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.840 like a ton of different states in no time in 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.160 the Northeast. Um, but where I grew up, I grew 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.960 up in a suburb that was like mostly white, and 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:09.200 it was I feel like the suburbs around Philly are 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.480 are pretty isolated and within their own bubbles. And even 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.200 when I go go back home now and I see 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.280 all of my friends who haven't left, and I talked 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.800 to them and I hear some of the things they say, 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:26.520 it it hits a lot different now. It changed my 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:30.960 world view when I went to college and and met 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.240 a lot of different people from different backgrounds, and it 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:38.320 was an amazing experience and it was life changing. We 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.439 have to take a break and the morning thing. We 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:48.560 gotta pay some bills. H you got chicks.

Um, yeah, I got 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.520 all my questions answered. That's what I'm here for, a brother. 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:29.840 Cut to a podcast dot com. What did you daydream 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.480 about when you're in high school? Well, when I was 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.600 in high school, I was a figure skater, so I 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.600 got it out of her. I knew I could get it. 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:57.160 I't like to talk about it. No, Yeah. I started 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.800 skating when I was like six years old, and I 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.879 loved it and I got really good at it, and 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.960 so I was I skated before school. Like I would 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:08.880 get up at four am and go to the rink 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.960 and turn the lights on and like It was great 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:13.600 because if you were the first one at the rink, 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.080 then you could choose the music, and that meant like 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:22.800 TLC was on, can you imagine this little skinny little girl. 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:35.159 I skate into tchecial and four in Philly and like, 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.199 mind you, I like cut all my hair off too, 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:43.880 so it's like short pixie cut. And my coaches were like, 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.720 you are way too much of a tomboy. So they 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.199 sent me to ballet classes because they were like, you 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.000 need to learn how to be graceful. They were like, 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.760 you have the athleticism, you can lend these jumps like 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.760 you have all like the power, because I was like 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.679 all I was all legs when I was skating, like 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:04.920 I was all I want to do was skate faster 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.920 than everybody, jump high or spin better, just like I mean, 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.280 I was fueled by anybody else that was on the ice. 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:16.000 I was gonna outskape them. And then my coaches were like, yeah, 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:20.880 all that's great, but you're like presentation sucks. So they 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.639 were like, here's a bunch of dresses, and of course, 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:25.680 like that triggered me because I was like, why don't 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.720 have to wear dresses? And they sent me to a 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:32.040 ballet teacher. Um, and I had to take all these 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.960 like serious ballet classes for years, and you know it 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:39.720 ended up. I guess I I got more graceful, who knows. 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.080 But when I was in high school, that's all, that's 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.600 all I thought about. Like I would skate before school, 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.280 after school competitions, Like I didn't take jim class because 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.080 I got credits for going ice skating. Yeah, it was 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:58.600 I was really in it. Did you enjoy any other sports? 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:04.000 I ran track for a little bit my freshman year 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:08.320 of high school, but then it was it was kind 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.560 of in conflict with skating, and my parents were spending 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.399 a lot of money. I had a choreographer at one point. 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.000 Like it was so I mean, it's ridiculous when you 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.080 look back on it. But like the price of skates, 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:20.720 you have to get them custom made, you have to 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:23.399 buy the boot and the blades separately. You have to 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.240 take them to special places to get sharpened. I mean, 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.639 it is a lot. And my parents would take me 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.320 at four o'clock in the morning and sit at the 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.600 rink in the freezing cold and just watch me skate around. 0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.760 So all right, let's let's skip over that part this week. 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.919 Just too much. I know, I know, I was very intense. 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:48.320 Anything that I do, I just lock in. Let's let's 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:52.320
