I 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: try fried turkeys the best. Kelly got that good fried 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: fried I might have to come steal something from in 56 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: fried turkey. And then um, you know, us folks, we 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: like the dressing, not stuff that dressing. Yeah it's not 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: a must though I can't go without. But but but 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll do what through some people throw 60 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, some some some colar greens or something like 61 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: that with the turkey, with the with the meal I'll 62 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: do some some but I got to be on point 63 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: though some gray. How about some dessert though I'm not 64 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: a big sweets guy. Actually, recently I've started to eating 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: more sweets, but I'm not a big sweets guy. So 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay, I can if if if we don't 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: have sweets, I'm okay, you don't like it, I mean 68 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: you don't have it, like you don't need to have 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: no sweepertator pop. I need to have sweepertato pot. No. No, 70 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: that's straight diabetes, and I don't promote that now. But 71 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: I really don't eat sweets that often. So if we 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: don't have sweets at the U for the dinner, I'm good. 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: You're good now. Um, as far as clean up, do 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: you know clean? No? No, especially if it's at my house. 75 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Heck no, Yeah, we got all these people here and 76 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: my wife didn't cooked then, or we didn't did something. No, 77 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the rest y'all got to clean up. But we use 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the paper plates anyways, which which and that's why if 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: you are going to somebody else's house for the first time, 80 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: you definitely make sure you at least off offer. Yeah, yeah, 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: at least I'm hoping you say no, but I'll offer 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: because my dishwashing skills is not up the park. Yeah yeah, 83 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: I do. Hope you say no too. Now here's another 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: thing that to talk about too. Now, So if somebody 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: gets invited over to somebody else's house with Thanksgiving, should 86 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: you bring something or at least ask? I think you 87 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: should at least ask, like, hey, do you guys want 88 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: me to bring anything? Uh? Oh, he traveled, Do you 89 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: guys want me to bring anything? Or or drinks? Or 90 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: I used to? I don't know, but I think you 91 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: should definitely ask. Okay, definitely ask. Yeah. Yeah, hopefully they 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: say no though. Okay, So here's some things that I 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: looked up and I found some things not to say 94 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: during Thanksgiving. I found some things not to say. Yeah yeah, yeah, 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: here's one, and we get let's talk about each of them. 96 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: If somebody do, try not to ask someone to explain 97 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: their job too much in detail. So, for example, you 98 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: don't want to say, explain your job again, you know 99 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: what I mean? You don't want to get too deep 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: into somebody's job at the table. I agree one one. 101 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: It's probably none of your business too too. I mean, 102 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: that's that doesn't make a good conversation, because then you 103 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: started like I don't even know what my wife like. 104 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: I still I asked my wife like, how's your day? 105 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Like when she was working, how is your day? Baby? 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: But please don't go in death because it's really I 107 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: don't know what that you're talking about. So then we'll 108 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: be talking here, we'll be talking for about twenty minutes 109 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: or something. I really deep down inside, I really don't 110 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: care one and then too like we're just wasting time. 111 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about something. Let's talk about the kids. Let's 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: talk about something mutual that we both actually care about. 113 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: Right right now, if somebody has the chance to spend 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with you, Cliff, do you want to talk about football? No, 115 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: that's another reason why I think you shouldn't talk about 116 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: people like I feel like when you're at home is 117 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: your time away from work. You already spend too much 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: time at work. So if we're friends a lot, and 119 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: I consider you a friend, most likely ninety percent of 120 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: our conversation has nothing to do about football. Okay. But 121 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: if if we're talking a lot of football, high possibility, 122 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: we're probably not that cool, Like you're just a fan. Okay, 123 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: So here's another one. Don't start off with, so are 124 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: you single? To ask about relationships ship unless you're trying 125 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: to get in a relationship with that person. Oh, that's 126 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: awkward trying to flirt with somebody at the Thanksgiving table. Yeah, okay. 127 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: So if I bring my homie, I bring one of 128 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: my friends, like hey, you know, or no, my friend 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: is in town. People are coming over and a teammate 130 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: brings his sister or something. I mean, I would highly 131 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: suggest you not to. But say my friend is bold 132 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, so he asked one of his sisters, Like, hey, 133 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: so you're single? Like how you do what I'm saying, 134 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: like trying to figure what's up? I don't think. I 135 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: don't think anything's wrong with that. I don't think anything's wrong. 136 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: But it has to be too single, Like it can't 137 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: be like she can't she couldn't have come with her 138 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: boyfriend and you just because she ain't got a ring 139 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: on or something. Right, But I got some savages for 140 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: us they might try to right. Also, another thing not 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: to do that, you know, not to bring up politics 142 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: or anything like that. Now, if somebody has just had 143 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: a recent like divorce or anything like that, you want 144 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: to you want to you want to stay away from 145 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: those kind of conversations. I think you should stay away 146 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: from anything that's gonna make it an awkward evening and 147 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: you're not gonna enjoy your food as much. So anything 148 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna make somebody like anything too personal, I feel 149 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: like you probably should stay away from it. Should stick 150 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the jokes and comedies and and and talk about movies 151 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: or something like. Yeah, I agree. Now for you yourself, 152 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: if you can look back any any awkward Thanksgiving stories 153 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: that you can tell us, any awkward ones, any good ones, 154 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: some of the your your greatest Thanksgiving memories. She's thinking, well, 155 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: we've only had Thanksgiving at home a few times. Well, 156 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: I mean guess four or five years. Awkward things give 157 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: his stories. I'm sure about that, awkward things giving stories. 158 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, no, you know, because when we 159 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: first started having people over, like, I'm quiet, so I 160 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: like to deserve observe. So I would just observe to 161 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: his family and see which one is like I might 162 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: possibly not get along with it for the long haul. 163 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: So so basically trying to say you got along with 164 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: all of Tea's family members, I know I can't say that. 165 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: I can say I can truly say I can be 166 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: around them but only for a certain period, Like I 167 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: can't be around you for a week straight. But that's 168 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: anybody though, honestly, that's not just Teas family most of 169 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: but it's not just Teas family, even my family. I 170 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: can't like I'm a loner honestly, until I got married 171 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: and had kids, Like I was okay with sitting in 172 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: the house by myself and just watching TV on my downtime. 173 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: Um So, but as far as for the question, I 174 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: can't think anything off the top of my head. The 175 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: drinks and stuff, Apple's apple cider a must for thanksgive 176 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: because you know a lot of folks like apple cider. 177 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had apple cider, honestly, Cliff, 178 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: what can you be doing on Thanksgiving? Bro? First and foremost, 179 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm Haitian, so ninety percent chance was my mom was 180 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: probably working on Thanksgiving anyway at the restaurant. So it's 181 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: not like I just like until probably a high school, 182 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: that's when I started actually having dinners with like my uncle. 183 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't think. I don't think we 184 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: followed the same traditions or followed the same traditions as 185 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: everybody else growing up. Okay, how about a tradition like 186 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Black Friday the next day shopping? What's your thoughts on 187 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: I hate it.

You just have been around me every 412 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: time you see me, you you fly, you going by. 413 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: I still talk about your clothes and still talk about 414 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: how you dressed. Like I had a lesson. I've been 415 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: just that. When you fly, we go pass each other's 416 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: usually get You're usually doing something. I'm usually doing something. 417 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: There's no time he has to change. He hasn't change 418 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: in that matter. He's still he's still the biggest clown 419 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: on the team. So I just had I never had 420 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: a chance to joke with you, my bad earlier, I 421 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: was running, I had my daughter. I was trying to 422 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: go back and forth. No, you can't. Last thing might be, 423 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: what are you thankful for? I'm thankful for a lot 424 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: of things, I think as I'm thankful for to be alive, obviously, 425 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: because being alive gives me another opportunity to love my family. 426 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm thankful for my family most of all because you 427 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: get as a man, or you know, you grew up 428 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: and you think that yourself is so important, but until 429 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: you have a family, you finally realize, like, I think 430 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: there's some people more important to me and like to 431 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: be able to have things to give them with my 432 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: family and be happy, happily married. I think that's something 433 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: to be thankful for because a lot of players in 434 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: the NFL they're not happily married, you know. And so 435 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: me and Cliff, we're lucky because we get to go 436 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: home to a wife and kids that we're just happy 437 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: to be at home with.

I 456 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: think when you think about, you know, the journey of 457 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: even just been in the NFL, Like I don't really 458 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: remember all the games, but I remember the people. I 459 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: think the relationships. To see Big Red come back this weekend, 460 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: it was like rekinding the relationship and he was gone, 461 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: but it's like it never stopped. And so that was 462 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: good for me to be able to be around him 463 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: no matter the guys. And I think, now you're losing 464 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: all these guys cam cliffs shream, It's kind of like, 465 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: now you really thankful for those relationships because you never 466 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: know if we can ever be I tighten it bond 467 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: like that again. That was a pretty special, unique group 468 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: of people, and I think that's just a hard thing 469 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: to do in the NFL. How the business is made 470 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: when it comes down to the numbers, contracts, and then 471 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: and they crunching those numbers and trying to figure out 472 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: how we can make it work. I gotta give tip 473 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: my hat to job Snyder because he's done a great 474 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: job of keeping his core players together. That is a 475 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: very rare thing in the NFL, to keep a core 476 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: group of players together like that. If you had in 477 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: the veterans gonna pay you more money. You know that 478 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: right now, I'm just talking talking about in general, he's 479 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna pay more money. I'm only getting better. I'm the 480 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Black Benjamin. But boy, you're crazy well. I mean, the 481 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: one thing I have heard from guys that have retired 482 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: from the game, that's the one thing that they didn't 483 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: realize when they did retire, is that they didn't realize 484 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: how much they would miss the lock the locker room 485 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: and talking to you. I mean, one minute, you're talking 486 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: to your teammate every single day, and then the same 487 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: people that you're in the trenches with years down the road, 488 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: you barely even talk to you every exactly. But But 489 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I think, as I know I have, and I'm pretty 490 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: sure Mike hass too, Like through the years, I've paid 491 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: attention to that, and I've seen that. So there's like 492 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: true friendships, like because the offseason kind of gives you 493 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: a glimpse of how it might be. Because they're off season, 494 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: you might not speak to some of the guys for 495 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: a couple of months, but like certain people you still 496 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: hold those those conversations with Like might be I still 497 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: talk to him probably every other day during the offseason. 498 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: You know, I'll shoot sure them at texts. I'll shoot 499 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: earl of texts. So those are true friendships and not 500 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: just work you know, work relationship, but that's the kind 501 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: of relationship people don't really see players have. These relationships 502 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: are real because of what we've been through. We've seen 503 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: death together, we've seen marriage, we've seen birth, we've seen divorced. 504 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: We haven't seen millions, so it's like we didn't seen 505 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: you success. We hadn't seen downfall. So it's like so 506 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: it's like we we grew together in the type of 507 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: way that's unique, and you know, within five years we 508 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: experienced all that. You know, those are that's a lot. 509 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: That's a lot to do when you in five years. Well, 510 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: I know Cliff Avril will stay in touch with me, Mike, 511 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: I just want to talk to you as much as 512 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: I can before you before you lead a game, because 513 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: I know you'll leave my text unread. You know, Mike 514 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: does probably have about a thousand text messages. I have 515 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: like a thousand text messages, Bros. It's not even I 516 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: will and he probably got about five thousand unread emails 517 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: like I love like like who does that? Like? Who? Who? Who? 518 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: At least click on it to see what they said. 519 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: I ain't. I am kind of busy, but then I'm 520 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: not that busy, So that makes sense for everybody. Please 521 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: why I might be I'm busy, but then I'll try 522 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: to make time for my family too. So I was like, 523 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm busy, but I'm not busy. But that's tough, it's 524 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: super I mean, that's when you're not when you're not 525 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: here one thing about you, you are with your family. Yeah, 526 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: but that's the hardest thing to do, is they try 527 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: to that's the thing that they didn't balance all that 528 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: and try to be a good husband. It's like that's 529 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: harder than football. Honest, I feel like football. Coming to 530 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: work is like the easy part of the day. Getting home, 531 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: like listen to each kid, listening to your wife and 532 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: figuring out all this stuff. I think that's the hardest 533 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: thing to do. I don't know. I feel like any 534 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: listener out there would disagree with this. Whether it's a 535 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: husband or the wife. You all know that when you 536 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: have work and you gotta still come home and cook 537 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: that food, or you got to come home and take 538 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: the trash out and tend to your children and talk 539 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: about their day, talk about your day with your wife. 540 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: You all, you guys know that that's the hard thing 541 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: to do for any any marriage or any adult who 542 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: has children. As a as a child, you never knew 543 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: as a kid that how hard it was to be 544 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: a parent until you became a parent. I mean you 545 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: took your parents for granny like, oh mom, that's in 546 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: your eye now that your parent like this, this is 547 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: really hard.
