I tested my blood 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: sugar probably about like times, which is like cricking my 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: blood sugar in a game. Yeah, so I'm like super 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: like O C D. I need to know my blood sugar. 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: But the last thing I want is for you know, 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: my team to to be let down because my blood 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: sugar is low. Do you noticeably feel like you're walking 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: around like a check to the you know, like this, 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: Is there a noticeable difference at all times? Um? Yeah, 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, I definitely feel stronger. I don't know if 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: I walk around like or something welcome into the lounge. 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: It was a big It was a very big way 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: that my big might have not even been big enough 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: for that. Int I totally agree. Ten what a way 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: to start. Uh. And we're gonna talk to one of 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: the guys who had a great game and that Mark 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Andrews here in a second. But before we do that, 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: as you're talking about the big whin, we have an 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: audio question here from Dylan Diggs along this time, so 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and listen to this from Dylan. Did 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: can you say big win? Can say big win? Can 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: you say big win? Hi, guys, this is Dylan Diggs 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: and Paxton Diggs calling um to ask now that the 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: first season opener was a big win, would you, guys, 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: what is the biggest regret you have from your season predictions? Already? 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: All right, super curious, keep up the good work, thanks guys. 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: By all right, So that was a good question from Dylan, 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: and the star of that question was obviously Paxton. Obviously 31 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: that was best, pretty good best. It was good, Um, 32 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: all right, So for me, I would say right off 33 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: the beat. Then, I'm feeling like I was a little 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: off on the under three thousand passing yards. I'm not 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: feeling good about feeling about over one thousand rushing yards 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: that you predict. I'm also I'm not going to rule 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: that one out quite yet. I don't feel great about it. 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: After after six what do you have in the O 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: did not help? I'm not feeling great about that either 40 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: of those. But I'm not going to rule out the 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: a thousand passing yard yet. I'm sorry the one thousand 42 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: rushing yards. Let me just say that I was above 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: you and both of those. I was also, I said 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: you need two passing touchdowns to eight rushing. You said 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: twenty and ten. So I was more on the Lamar's 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna bit put up bigger numbers as a passer than you. 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking pretty good right now you are. Um, So 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: I kind of immediately regret. I actually thought that on 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: like the first Hollywood touchdown, on that first les my regret. 50 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: I think I was a little I went a little 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: bit lower than you on Hollywood. Uh So, Yeah, when 52 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I saw that, I honestly thought because I listened back 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: to the episode this morning to answer this question, and 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: I honestly thought that Hollywood. And this is the reason 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: I didn't draft him in football in fantasy. I thought 56 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: he would be kind of easy in. I thought the 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: football probably be a little bit of a problem. I 58 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: mean even he after the game said, yeah, I can 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: play through it. Well, you're dang playing through it. He's 60 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: playing a pretty hard, high level. Well, here's the thing. 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: He was eased in. He played swell snaps, swell snaps exactly. 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: It's just like he was so good and he was 63 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: easy and he just made him count. I know, it's 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah. Um, all right, so let's go ahead 65 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: and jump into this podcast with Mark and Uh, then 66 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna get some to some more questions after we 67 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: talk to Mark, but we don't want to delay the 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: interview with him any longer. So here it is with 69 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. All right, Mark, we gotta start with the 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: most important question, and that is what was Baker Mayfield's wedding? Like, Um, 71 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: you know there were a ton of Oklahoma people, Um, 72 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: a ton of Browns fans and brown and Hunt fans, 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: but Browns coaches players. So um, kind of had my mind, 74 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: my own business and it was it was a good time. 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: You don't talk to anybody, just keep your head down. 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: That's when they'll say things, reveal anything. That's when you 77 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: try to get them to kind of reveal some stuff. 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: You're with all those guys who had a few drinks. Hey, 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: so what do you guys think about doing it all 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: this year? Yeah? Pretty kitchens, all the insights about what 81 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna do exactly exactly. So Who's who's a bigger 82 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: wedding dancer? You or Orlando? Um, I'd say Orlando Orlando 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: for surely. Um, I don't know if he danced on 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: I may have danced more than him because I had 85 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: to because I was in the wedding. Um, but I 86 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: would say he's a little more outgoing than I am 87 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: in that sort of situation. What's what's his go to move? 88 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: What's yours? You guys like kind of guys sprinkling. I 89 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: could so see the fishing pole anything as awkward as possible. 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: So tell us about the Miami game. I mean, you 91 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: have your first one hundred yard game of your career, 92 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of you know, really, I don't want to say 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: break out. I mean you had a breakout season last 94 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: year's rookie. But do you feel like this could kind 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: of springboard you into an even bigger season? Um? Yeah, 96 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think it was a good first game, 97 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: you know, I think, Um, you know, I put in 98 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: a lot of hard work in the off season and um, 99 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, I had a really good training camp, and 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to build each and every 101 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: day and get better and um, you know, I'm just 102 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: trying to you know, it's it is. What is. I 103 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: don't really care about yards and and and catches and 104 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: all that. You know that's gonna do. You played Fennessy football. 105 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: Best stuff is gonna come. You know, I'm just trying 106 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: to get better, do whatever I can to help this 107 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: team win. And and you obviously you know those catches 108 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: and everything will come. And I'm excited about my role 109 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: for the future. Do you think you'll have a touchdown 110 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: where you're more wide open than you were on Sunday? 111 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: You you you're you had some space there? Yeah, you know, 112 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: I don't. That was That was one of the easier 113 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns I think. But I should have actually had three 114 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns that game. Well, you think about the one where 115 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: you the long class, the long pass, the long pass. 116 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: I was on the one yard line. Um they held me. Um, 117 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: oh that's right. Yeah, I beat the guy and he 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: held me. That's right. They threw the five at least 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: they did. They did, so got some credit for that. 120 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: Who who did who ended up scoring on the play 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: where you win down? Of the one Mark, I think 122 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: this Mark and the other one was it Mark? I 123 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: think it was Mark both times. Well, I have him, 124 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I have you both on my fantasy teams, so I 125 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: can't argue took both my touchdowns. Uh so, just I mean, 126 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: how jacked up were you for for Lamar and just 127 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: for the offense as a whole. I mean, after all 128 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: the talk all offseason about the offense for you guys 129 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: to go out there and for Lamar, especially after what 130 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: he's been through this offseason, to have that kind of performance. 131 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: His journey has been crazy, you know, especially with the 132 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: Ravens and last year, you know, getting the start after 133 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Joe and then you know, winning all these games and 134 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: then you know, still people doubting him, and um, he's 135 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: put in a ton of work and just to to 136 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: be able to see you know, everything you know kind 137 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: of come together after training camp and having an amazing 138 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: camp and um, you know he's been complete quarterback and 139 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: so um the way that he throws the ball that 140 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: people don't get him give him credit, and so um, 141 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: it was awesome to be able to see him have 142 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: a day like that. You know, those those type of 143 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: days aren't you know, very common, especially in the NFL. UM. 144 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: So it's just, you know, a prolific day for him, 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: and I'm happy for him, you know, I'm happy for 146 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: this offense to just we've told everybody this is gonna 147 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: be a different type of offense, you know around the NFL, 148 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: and so we're gonna change some things, and um, we 149 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: got more a lot of more things coming. So we're 150 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL, should be ready. So after after the game, 151 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: we all get on the buses and I get on 152 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: bus six. You know us Slappy's like me, they say 153 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: get on the last bus. They're usually like, hey, catching uber, Yeah, 154 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: if you can hold onto the bumper and follow. Um. 155 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: So I get on the last bus. It wasn't started. 156 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: It's hot as hades. I'm like, nah, I'm moving to 157 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 1: bus five. Sit down right in front of Mark and 158 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: you look like you were pretty tired. After that, that 159 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: was just like I've settled it. That was one of 160 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: the hottest games I've I've ever played in. I remember 161 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: being in warmups and just didn't even couldn't even run 162 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: a route because I didn't want to exert myself. Yeah, 163 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: it was it was hot, humid, and um I'm hoping 164 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: that we don't have too many more games. Miami is 165 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: September first weekend. I think that's about as bad as 166 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: it gets. Um. So today you talked about kind of 167 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: your preparation coming into the season, try to get kind 168 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: of bulk up during the off season. You talk a 169 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: little bit more about like what your goal was like 170 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: the end of last season, and then what you did 171 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: to kind of get to this point here today. Yeah, um, 172 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, after the season done, kind of just looking 173 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: back and um, look at myself in the mirror. What 174 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: I did good, what I did bad? And Um for me, 175 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: I know what my bread and butter is and that's 176 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, running arounds, getting open and all that stuff. 177 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: And so that's something I continue to work on, will 178 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: always continue to work on. But um, you know, also 179 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: seeing that you know, I know you'd be able to 180 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: block more in in in situations where when I come 181 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: on the field that you know, defenses aren't you know, 182 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: game planning that this is only gonna be a pass 183 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: because marks on the field. So um, you know, put 184 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: a lot of work on getting stronger, um, being able 185 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: to you know block, you know, move my feet and 186 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: drive and and stuff like that. It was something that 187 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, I really emphasized. I'm the offseason. You work 188 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: with you work with your brother. And he's older, younger brother, 189 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: he's older. He seven, I believe. How big is he? 190 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: He's a big guy. You know, he had a he 191 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: had a couple of offers out of high school for 192 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: d N. So, Um, he's around six four, two forty. 193 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: He's a big guy. Well, but you know, but what 194 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: are you at? He's like, hey, man, can you work 195 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: with me? I want to work on blocking. And then 196 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: you're just pushing around all day like you're a big brother. 197 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: That's like every younger brother. Yeah. So this offseason we're 198 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: going to get a pad so I don't have to hit. Yeah, 199 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 1: he's like, you know what what I'm done with this. 200 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm done being the blocking dumb That's right, you know, 201 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: but it's helped a lot. And um, you know, you 202 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: people like that in your life to be able to 203 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: get you where you want to be. Because last year, 204 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: I mean, how many plays were you in on where 205 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: a run was called? Like? It wasn't very many, right, Um, 206 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: you know I think you know, they did a good 207 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: job of trying to hide some things. Um, and you know, 208 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: I think I I blocked definitely more than you know 209 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: the average fan might think. Um, and they try to 210 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: make it so that they can't game plan, and um, 211 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, especially this year, I know coustro Is, you know, 212 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: gonna um do a great job of putting me in 213 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: those situations. Yeah. How much stronger do you feel? Like? 214 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: Do you noticeably feel like you're walking around like a 215 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: jack to here? You know, like this, is there a 216 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: noticeable difference at all times? Um? Yeah, you know, I 217 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: definitely feel stronger. I don't know if I walk around 218 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: like or something, but you're doing you're doing here right, 219 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: you have my traps? No, Yeah, definitely definitely a lot 220 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: stronger because Steve Saunders has done a great job with 221 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: with all the tight ends and so credit to him. 222 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: One thing that we definitely notice is that you're playing 223 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: with more swagger this year, like when you would go 224 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: through training camp practices. I loved it because it I 225 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: don't know if you we can't necessarily tell if you're 226 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: talking trash, but it's sure looked like whether you were 227 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: saying anything, you were doing some trash. You're sure you're 228 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: saying yeah, I don't know if you were saying anything, 229 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: but you would spin the ball, you would getting guys faces, 230 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: You got two period times like you might get in 231 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: a fight. At one point of training kid, I thought 232 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: you and Kenny Young about probably were. That's that's the 233 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: part of a a football. It's a competitive sport. And um, 234 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: I love football. I love it, you know, and so um, 235 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's just been fun for me able to 236 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: to go out there and enjoy it and practice hard 237 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: against our guys and now finally getting too go against 238 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: other people and continue that competitive fires. What makes peop 239 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: great is that part of like just your progression, Like 240 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: as a rookie, I'm guessing you get here and part 241 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: of it's just like you're just kind of feeling things out. 242 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: You don't want to be the rookie that comes see 243 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: or starts mouthing off. Do you feel more comfortable? Is 244 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: that why? It is that kind of part of the progression. Yeah, 245 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, when you get here, you're kind of everything 246 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: is so fast, the game is so fast that you're 247 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: really not able to kind of slow everything down and 248 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: um enjoy it and you know take you know, defensive 249 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: for what it is. But now I'm able to you know, 250 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: kind of be confident and um, you know, play my 251 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: game and play how I want to play. And so UM, 252 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of showing a little bit more 253 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: um in terms of you know, training camp, you know, 254 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: getting after people and um, kind of showing my swagger 255 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: if you may. Yeah, you had pretty similar rookie numbers 256 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: that George Kittle, And he's just a guy that I 257 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: think of when I think about you and then he 258 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: kind of exploded in year two. And I know you 259 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about numbers, but is he a 260 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: guy that you look at and you say, hey, maybe 261 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: I can have an arc like that? Um? Yeah, you 262 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: know obviously he had an insane year. Yeah, prolific. So it's, um, 263 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to compare yourself to a guy 264 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: like that. But you know, for me, it's just uh, 265 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, I I know I'm gonna get touches and 266 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: catches and all that, but I'm just trying to help 267 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: this team win. You know. If that does happen, great, Um. 268 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: You know, I, I know have the ability to do 269 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: some stuff like that. So um yeah, I'm not really 270 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: sure if I'll have those numbers. But um, maybe this 271 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: offense is a little bit different. Yes, we did. We 272 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: both picked you to lead a team and catches, receiving 273 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns. Last week we did our season predictions podcast. 274 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: Now I will say that we're pretty terrible up to predictions, 275 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: So take that for what you want. How cool is 276 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: it here to haven't be Oklahoma East? Like are you? 277 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: It's just Oklahoma guys everywhere? Yeah, it's uh, it's so unique. Um, 278 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, it kind of shows 279 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: you what the Costa you know, believes in that Oklahoma team, 280 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: and um, what the offense is all about there and 281 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: the guys UM and obviously Orlando and I coming in 282 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: last year and you know, making a difference on offense 283 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: and UM drafting two more guys this year. I think 284 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: it kind of shows, uh that they have a lot 285 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: of trust in that organization. So it's been fun. It's 286 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: been fun to be able to have these guys back 287 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: on the team and playing with these guys. I'm curious, like, 288 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: do you feel like your success you in Orlando last 289 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: year had anything to do with him taking Bannamore keys, 290 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: because like, if you guys were a couple of stiffs, 291 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: they might have been like, we're not going back to that. Well, UM, 292 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to think so yeah, sure, I gotta believe 293 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: that it did. Sure. I think so. Um, you know, 294 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: I think if we were just you know, kind of 295 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, bust or whatever, they look at it differently. 296 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: But Um, or Landa and I definitely kind of, you know, 297 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: turn some heads last year, and so I think they 298 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: have some confidence in that program. Do you see this offense, 299 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: does it remind you at all of the Oklahoma offense. 300 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: I know Greg wanted to kind of act more college 301 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: uh themes and and feel into it. Does it remind 302 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: you of what you did? Yeah, you know there's there's 303 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: definitely some similarities and um, you know we're just so 304 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: dynamic and again, you know in college we have a 305 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: lot of you know, um, taking what the defense gives you, 306 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: and you know it's a numbers game and so it's 307 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: a lot of that is here and you know Gero 308 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: has done a great job of, um, you know, putting 309 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: guys in the best situation to win, and that's what 310 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: it's all about. I'm sure. Another similar component was seeing 311 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown flying defenders and just just how neat was 312 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: that and uh you know what was going through your 313 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: mind as you saw him score those touchdowns? Um, it 314 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: was almost like deja vu, Like I've played so many 315 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: games with him where you know, it's the first play 316 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: of the drive and you know, off goes Hollywood, you know, 317 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: scoring his a d R touchdown. So um, it was awesome, incredible. 318 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: See you know it's not you know every day you 319 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: see a guy in his first game get a hunter 320 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: and you know what our forty three yards wherever it was, 321 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: and um, incredible, So it was it was definitely a 322 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: little bit of deja vu for me. What was he 323 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: like in Oklahoma when he when he arrived? I like 324 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: to me, when I met him at the draft, like 325 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: you're kind of struck by he's pretty quiet, but like 326 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: persona wise, he's got like the Hollywood persona and he's 327 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: got the chain, he's got the grill, and he's got 328 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: like the swag and all of that. But like then 329 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: you talk to him and he's pretty quiet and he's small. 330 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: He's a small guy, and so like, what was he 331 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: like and what did you think when he first got there? 332 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Is this transfer kid from the small school at Oklahoma? 333 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: Um man, this guy is skinny, right, That's why that 334 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: was like yeah, um no, but you know it was 335 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: kind of you know, you kind of saw it right away, 336 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: just his ability to to run by guys and and 337 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But like you said, he's kind of 338 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: a um he's a quiet guy, but he's got a 339 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: lot of you know, confidence and swagger to him. Um 340 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: and kind of just his pro hope persona is is 341 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: a little bit bigger than um what it is when 342 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: you actually talked to him. Yeah, it's a little bit 343 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: like Lamar in that way. I mean he's I would 344 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: say Lamar is him, but like they have this like 345 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: definite like we know we're good kind of thing, but 346 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: we're not going to shout it from the rooftops. For sure. 347 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: It's interesting. So you're getting ready to play against your 348 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: hometown team, Arizona Cardinals. Uh. Were you a big time 349 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals fan growing up? Um? I wasn't like a big 350 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: big time Cardinals fan. Obviously. I looked at him, um 351 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: and was a fan of them, um, but didn't have 352 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: like great years. It was kind of hard to be 353 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan at times. But um, for the NFL 354 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: is probably my team. Yeah, okay, who who was your 355 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: favorite Cardinals player? Um? Larry Fitzgerald for sure. And you 356 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: were a wide receiver in high school? Yes, so you 357 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: you at Desert Mountain High School. Just did a little 358 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: Wikipedia ing before he came in here. We do. We 359 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: do a great research. Wikipedia always accurate. Where I got 360 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: all my college report. Uh, so I found out that 361 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: you held the arizon A high school record for career 362 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: receptions until Cade Warner, the son of Kurt order Brogus records. 363 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: So now I see why he's no longer really a 364 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals fan. Yea son actually, Uh, he actually was the 365 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: o C of my high school really, and his son 366 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: played from my high school as well. So oh so 367 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: he was feeding his kid. Yeah, they just threw to 368 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: him literally every play an asterisk basically say mark Soul's directly. 369 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: I had to earn that one. So on a serious note, 370 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: obviously you've talked about this before, but you have type 371 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: one diabetes and you've dealt with this throughout your entire life, 372 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: and how can you talk at all about how much 373 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: of a challenge or a struggle is it? Um? And 374 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: is it Is it a challenge like on a daily 375 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: basis for you in the NFL? Yeah, there's no doubt. 376 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's um, it's it's hard to really describe 377 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: to people, but you know people you know living with diabetes. UM, 378 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: you know, it's it just adds a whole different, you 379 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: know element. You know, so I'm always thinking about, um, 380 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: what my blood sugar is, what I'm eating, and you know, 381 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: how much insulin I'm giving myself. And you know, for 382 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: the regular athlete, they just you know, eat, you know, 383 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: drink gatorade and all this stuff, and you know, I can't. 384 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a it's seven and of me 385 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: worrying about um, you know, something that other people don't 386 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: have to think about. So you know, there's a lot 387 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: that goes into it. You know, my diet and UM, 388 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, testing my blood sugar and hydration. You know, 389 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm not able to drink you know, sugary things because UM, 390 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: it's harder for me. So you know, I have to 391 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: drink things like Gatorade zero and UM. It's there's there's 392 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: there's so many different you know, layers to you know, 393 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: having type one diabetes and being um a professional athlete, 394 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: that UM just makes a little bit harder than UM 395 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: on me than everybody else. Do you track like you 396 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: meal by meal? May do you do you have a 397 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: chart or anything like that. You're literally tracking everything that's 398 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: going into your body. UM, I don't track. UM you 399 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: don't like meal my meal. But I'm I'm pretty good 400 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: about you know, I've I've had it for a while, 401 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: so I'm pretty good about knowing what to eat UM 402 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: and and how to make sure that my body is 403 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: peaking at the right time. So I kind of understand 404 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: my body more so than a lot of other people do, 405 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: and how do you handle it during a game? Um? 406 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: You know I obviously the trainers um are always looking 407 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: after me. But UM, I test my blood sugar probably 408 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: about like forty to fifty times, which is like pricking 409 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: my blood sugar um in a game during a game. Yeah, 410 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: so I'm like super like O C D. I need 411 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: to know my blood sugar. But the last thing I 412 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: want is for you know, my team to to be 413 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: let down because my blood sugar is low and I'm 414 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: not playing at my best ability. So because because you 415 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: would just get a little bit more like lethargic, what 416 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: what would happen if if it's not at the right level? 417 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: So lower would be more like super jittery, um kind 418 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: of out of sorts and um, you know definitely you would. 419 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: I would be like dropping ball and stuff like that. 420 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: It would be super common. Um. But you know being 421 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: higher is more like um extremely tired, um getting tired 422 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: out way before everybody else is getting tired. So UM, 423 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: there's different. You know, tell tales that you know kind 424 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: of go with being higher or lower with the blood 425 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: sugar forty times a game, how do you do that? Um? 426 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: You know I just kind of kind of abused my 427 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: finger to serious. Yeah, but it's uh my, I'm so 428 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: used to it and um, so I don't really even 429 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: really think twice about it. I'd rather have my numbers 430 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: be good than my fingers. See your FI do you 431 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: have like you wear gloves? Um? I didn't even see anything. 432 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I see right there. Yeah you kind of look cool. Yeah, 433 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: like little blisters kind of Yeah, they're all scarred up. 434 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's crazy though. I mean that's like 435 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: every play, like you come out and and when I 436 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: every time the defense is on, I'm testing about three 437 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: or four times, um in that little moment. And do 438 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: you wear a like a thing that they can track 439 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: on the sideline? So I have a continuous glucost monitor, um, 440 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: which I use, you know, outside of football, but when 441 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: I'm playing football, it's kind of it's it's bluetooth, so 442 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: it's connected to my phone. Um, I don't really have 443 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: phones on the sidelines, so I don't UM, I don't 444 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: rely on that. I used my own test your kid 445 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: at that point, and you had a scary incident in college? 446 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: Can you just share that story with the listeners? Yeah, 447 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: so I uh in college, Um, it was my freshman 448 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: year Um, we had a morning practice and it was 449 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: kind of a changed the schedule for me and and 450 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, for for diabetics, anytime you have a you know, 451 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: different schedule, that's kind of always when things go at. 452 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: And after practice in the morning, I went and took 453 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: a nap.

And 456 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: so when I was taking my nap, it kind of 457 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: went so low where I went unconscious in my sleep. UM. 458 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: And my roommate comes in tries to wake me up, 459 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and um, you know, as he's waking me up, my 460 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: my eyes eyes are rolled back in my head and 461 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: I'm not not responsive.

So I think a 489 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: lot of young people are people who are dealing with 490 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: diabetes in general, that they look at you and they 491 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: say like, wow, I may be a kid that's in 492 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: high school and this player, this person is in the 493 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: NFL and they've made it there. They have not that 494 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: this held them. Mac. Do you take that? I feel 495 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: like you do. I feel like you take a lot 496 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: of pride and you take it very seriously that like 497 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: you carry the flag.

I love. 499 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: I love to play football. Um, but the beauty of 500 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: you know, playing in the NFL is the highest stage. 501 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: So I have this huge podium that I'm on for um, 502 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: you know, kids with type one diabetics and you know, 503 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: type one diabets all over the world to to look 504 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: at me and say, hey, this guy can do it. 505 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: You know maybe I can too, So um, just to 506 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: show them, you know, to follow your dreams.

Garrett, we have three more questions, 539 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: two written questions and one audio question. We'll start with 540 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: the audio question first. It comes from across the world, 541 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: the other side of the world from Australia from Chris. 542 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: Question from down and Yeah, who said he was literally 543 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: watching kangaroos halpercross his front yard as you're sending us. 544 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that's serious or not, but that's what 545 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: he said. That's cool. So here's a question from Chris. 546 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: Hi garretton Ryan. This is Chris hitting you up from 547 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: all the way over in Australia. I'm sitting here having 548 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: a bonfire and a couple of beers and I'm watching 549 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: my dogs chasing kangaroos through the paddock. But I had 550 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you guys. The first one 551 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: is regarding that first half in Miami. Is that as 552 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: close to the best half of football, the most perfect 553 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: half of football that you'll ever see. The Ravens scored 554 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, they had a defensive turnover, they had a 555 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: special teams turnover, they had zero incompletions, and they ended 556 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: up with forty two points on the board by the hearth. 557 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: I've been following this game for a long time over here, 558 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: and I've never seen a better half of football than that. 559 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, to answer his question, yes, I think that 560 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: first half was as close to perfect you're ever gonna see. 561 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's about as good of football as you're 562 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: ever going to see. Yeah, I'll share this story a 563 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: little people back curtain, a little bit pulled back curtain. Um, 564 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: I was in the press box out of Miami. We 565 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: didn't do our travel draft online, but I got Miamia 566 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: every year. I got to do it. Um. So I 567 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: was down in Miami and I'm in the press box 568 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm only a few feet away from 569 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: Erica Costa. And in the first half you see mark 570 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: Ingram's forty nine yard run. Signed, signed that guy this offseason. 571 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Check looks like a pretty good signing. Then you see 572 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown Golf for two touchdowns. Yeah, my first draft pick. Check. Check, 573 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: double check on that one. Earl Thomas interception at check. 574 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: You know, it's just what else I'm missing? One. Miles 575 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: Boykin also later in the game, so Da Costa in 576 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: Hollywood scored the second touchdown, kind of just looks to 577 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: the people around him, and you know it's George Kakinas 578 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: and Joe Ortiz and Ozzy and and just like eyes 579 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: popping out of his head, mouth slightly ajar, like is 580 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: this is this real? Or is this my dream? All 581 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: my dreams coming true right now? In one moment, it 582 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: was it was really cool to see like him. Just 583 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: everything he touched turned to gold. So basically what you're 584 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: saying is Airic was sitting there drinking champagne in the 585 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: press box. Basically all it was really cool, but it 586 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: was funny to look over and see him like it 587 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: was neat. Yeah, that's cool, all right. So let's get 588 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: to a couple more questions here. These are both written questions. 589 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: This one comes to us from Mark and that subject 590 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: header of this email was make talking out of his 591 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: butt for thirty minutes, which was probably that he added version. 592 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: He says, I love the show, I enjoy all the 593 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: content on the app. He's a die hard Ravens living 594 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: in Steelers Country. Make us wearing rose colored glasses and 595 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: make wearing rose colored glasses should be our secondary logo. 596 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: This season. By his projections, the Ravens are going to 597 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: score more points in the Greatest Show on Turf, Yes 598 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: fifty nine. He also says this, Hey hey, Mark, Mark says, 599 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if Boykin and Brown combined for more 600 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: than five touchdowns. Well, hey, Mark, but they got they 601 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: got three? Hey more, who's got the rose colored glasses? 602 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: Whose glasses are crystal clear? Mark? But this is but 603 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: this is where I agree with Mark. He says, breakout players, 604 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: because we have the breakout players discussion. Breakout players on 605 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: a national level is a very different. This is in 606 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: the national podcast. We're talking to Ravens. Humphrey has some buzz, 607 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: but until he goes to a Pro Bowl, average fans 608 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: across the country probably have no idea who he is. Andrews, 609 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Mark we just talked to, would be a great breakout candidate. 610 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: So is Peanut, Patrick er Card. Come on, make, come on, make. 611 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: We're talking to die hard Ravens fans and then Mark. 612 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: They all know about Mark, Andrews and Peanut and what 613 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: they've done. Mark says, what happened to all the drafts? Also, well, 614 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: that's why I said we didn't do the travel draft 615 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: this year because Cliff fouled it up. It's all thrown off. 616 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: We should have done it anyway. Yeah, us for fun. 617 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: But I got Miami and that was a great one. 618 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: Let me tell you it was so good. Well, I mean, 619 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: you saw an incredible game and obviously it's a beautiful place. 620 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: Obviously hanging out on the beach before the game. Yeah, 621 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: it's awesome. Um, we have another question, but we'll save 622 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: this one for next week. And then also before we go, 623 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: we want to get talk a little bit about John 624 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: Eisenberg's new podcast. If you guys automatically subscribe to The Lounge, 625 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: you will see this in your feed. It's called What 626 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: Happened To That Guy? First episode is out where he 627 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: talks to Jermaine Lewis and it's just a great podcast. 628 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: So we've got a little trailer here. This is a 629 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: little plug for John Eisenberg's podcast, Take a listen. I 630 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: knew that it was coming as far as the end 631 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: of football, but I really didn't have a solid plan 632 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: of which that Rex and I was gonna go to. 633 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: You think you'll figure something out because I really put 634 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: all my focusing on football. That was a mistake, just 635 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: knowing the aids that I am now. I haven't played 636 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: football maybe fifteen years. You gotta have something that's gonna 637 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: occupy your time. It's something that you can start a 638 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: second career at. Well that's where I got to the 639 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: game late, all right, So if you haven't listened to 640 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: the full thing yet, I definitely recommend doing it. Great storytelling. 641 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: John is gifted when it comes to telling stories. And 642 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot shorter than our podcast. He doesn't flap 643 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: his gums his gums as much as well. You take 644 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: up so much time, so much bandwidth, so I blame 645 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: you for that. But anyway, thanks for listening, and I 646 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: can't wait for a bib. I know, let me try 647 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: it again. I can't wait for huh win against the Cardinals. Baby, 648 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: that was bad.
