1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: This is the OTP. I'm Amy Wells and we are

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: joined by Jeffrey Simmons. Jeff you are one game away

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: from finishing your seventh NFL season. Does it feel like

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: it's been seven years?

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: It's flys by. I'll tell you that.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: I look back and I'm like, geez, I'm on your

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: seven already. I'm a real vet now. The body, the body,

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: you know, especially, that's the reason why I kind of

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: I wanted to change my habits. I wanted to change

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 3: my diet, the way I approached this season. I wanted

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: to change that because I know I am getting older.

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 3: So I didn't feel year seven until maybe now week eighteen.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: But you know, I think that's the you.

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Know, props to the people I'm I'm around, my nutritionist,

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: my mentors and things of that nature, and off season

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: that telling me, okay, like my uncle he'd done this

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: for ten years. He telling me you need to get

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: light on your feet, trying to lose some weight like that.

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: Them the type of things that I'm grateful to have

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: in my corner to be able to give me them

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: advices and show me the way, especially getting older in

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: the NFL. So it's been a great year. It's been

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: a great year on year seven, and you know, I'm

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: looking forward to, you know, finish this year out the

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: right way.

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: Any when you talk to around here, whether it be

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: the media or people in the building, coaches, staff, anybody,

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: they say, there's something different about you this year. I

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's on the field, off the field

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: what has changed, but something about you feels a little older,

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: more mature, maybe wiser. Do you feel those things?

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: Just you know, I'm big on myself, like I'm one

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: of my biggest credits, and you know, I do a

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 3: lot of reflect and I tell people I reflect a lot,

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, because when things happened throughout a season, like

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: last season, things will happen and you know it's like,

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: maybe I should have went a boy this a different way.

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I should have done this a different way. Maybe

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: I should have approached the game different. Maybe I should

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: have pro my teammates different. And so when you when

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: you go through them things, them phases of the season,

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: and you do a lot of reflecting that I did,

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: It's like, how can I have done better? So I

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: meet with coach like I met with Thenard, I met

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 3: with Rockman I met with Calli last offseason to just

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: get feedback of how can I be a better leader

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: off the field, but also my game on the field,

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: And you know, it just the things that I was

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: committed to this offseason to. Like I said, change my

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: body was my biggest thing, and coming back to being

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: the leader I knew this team needed because we had

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: a young team, and I knew the type of leadership

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: that we was going to need. So that was one

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: of the biggest things that I was focused on. Calling

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: my uncle, I'm calling guys like the Marcus where who

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: played a long time in this lead to knowing that

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: gods respect him as not just a football player, but

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: as a locker room guy, as a leader, as a teammate.

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: So them the type of twos I actually worked on

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: this offseason and that you know, ultimately ultimately helped me

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: be a better football play because I knew I've been

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: playing football since I was five, so football themes would

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: come and it's all all the things, all the small details,

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: and all the small things outside of being on the

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: field on Sundays. Them the type of things I was

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: focused on because I knew that would help improve my game.

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Well, the football things did come in twenty twenty five. Statistically,

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: it was your best, if not one of the best

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: seasons of your career. But there was a lot of

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: other things that were really challenging this season. Obviously, the

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: wins and losses weren't what we wanted them to be. Obviously,

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: there was a lot of changing and adversity throughout the year.

74
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Did all of that motivate you to perform the way

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: that you did on Sundays?

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think I never got outside of the moment.

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: I would say for me, it was more of control

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: with our control. And that's what my goal is off

79
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: this season and coming to this season is, you know,

80
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: let's not worry about stats, Let's not worry about the

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: things I can't come now. That was my goal this year.

82
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: It was to stay in the moment and let's go

83
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: from last last season. That's like go back to saying,

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: how I reflect last season when we started losing them gains.

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: I was trying to chase plays. I was chasing plays

86
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: to where I feel like I had to make that

87
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: play to win a football game for us. But it

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 3: was sometimes where it was hurting the defense because I'm

89
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 3: now I'm jumping out my galp. Now I'm doing something

90
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: that unusual of that defense that was called. So I

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: think that was my goal this year, no matter what

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: going on, to stay in the moment and when I'm

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: in that moment, when I'm locked in on doing my job,

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: can't about to blocked me, especially one on one. So

95
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: I think that was my mindset this season. How can

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: Jeffersons stay in the moment and be the best he

97
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 3: could be for the team as.

98
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: A leader on this team. I think a lot of

99
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: guys noticed that and saw that and tried to replicate

100
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: it in their own game. Is that what your leadership

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: style is all about? Yeah, we hear you talking, we

102
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: hear you giving people trouble and all of that, But

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: it's leading by example and hoping that other you will

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of emulate that for sure.

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: Not you know when when you hold the standard high

106
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: for yourself and you know that the coach is holding

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: you to a high standard. And now when as they say,

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: you know, I don't try to say this because I'm

109
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: very I try to be humble if they not do.

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: But when you hear the coach you say, when your

111
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: best player could if your best player doing it, you

112
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: could do it and you know, quite a kind of honest,

113
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: Like I've been here seven years and you know, I

114
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: know what it feels like to win.

115
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: And if I could show these young guys.

116
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm three hundred pounds and I'm gonna run out

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: to stack the ball away from me. I'm gonna run

118
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: to the ball. I'm gonna do everything I can to

119
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: help your team win. Yes, like you said, you're gonna

120
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: hear me every day.

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear me.

122
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: Like guys hate it sometimes on Sundays, gods may hate it,

123
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna let you guys. I'm gonna let them

124
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: know that I'm coming to play today and I'm gonna

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: show my actions and the way I play, gonna speak.

126
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: So I always tell guys, and they hear from the

127
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: art as well, your feeling, your resume, the way you

128
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 3: whatever you put on film.

129
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 2: That's who you are as a player.

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: You know each and every day, not just in the building,

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 3: not just on the practice field, but on Sundays, I

132
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: try to go out there.

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Yes, it sucks.

134
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Inting double teams a lot, but when that balled away

135
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: from me, how hard can I play? How hard can

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: I just be a round the ball? So you know,

137
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of my the standards that I hold

138
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: myself to, and you also, like I got to hold

139
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: my teammates to that standard as well.

140
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of young guys on this team,

141
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys who are getting some real

142
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: significant playing time. How impressed have you been by the

143
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: rookie class some of those younger guys on this team

144
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: who've been asked to do a lot more than most

145
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: rookies are asked to do.

146
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love our rookie class. They got a lot

147
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: of personality. I mean, start with our quarterback. He got

148
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: a lot of personality. So I mean when when you

149
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: draft the rookie rookie class like that, like I mean, yes,

150
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: I knew Cam was gonna play right now. I knew

151
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: maybe Gunner will play right now. But when you got

152
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: guys like Marcus Harris who you know him and Kevin

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: Winston that of course got injured, you know I didn't.

154
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: I mean, we had two starter safeties. I didn't expect

155
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: them guys to play, We had sneak we had corners.

156
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: I didn't expect them guys to actually be on the field.

157
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: But to see the way they came in and worked.

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: They tail off because they you just never know when

159
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: your name would be called, and them guys was ready

160
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: to play when their name was called. So you know,

161
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: it was good to see that. That's why I even

162
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: said I've been bragging on. I think I've been bragging

163
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: on a little too much because I Cam Cam won't

164
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: leave me alone sometimes.

165
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: You know, he thinks he's the big dollar around here.

166
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: But you know, it's fun to see how they have

167
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: embraced the team. It's fun to see that they understand

168
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: what it's going to be moving forward. Because you can

169
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: hear them talking throughout the locker room. You know they

170
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: gonna help us win a lot of football games around here.

171
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: And that's the reason why I'm so excited for the

172
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: future around here in Tennessee.

173
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: And you, as a leader leading that charge, someone who

174
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: has seen winning football, someone who has been here through

175
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the highs, the lows, the ups and downs, every part

176
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: of this, you can lead the way and establish what

177
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: that needs to.

178
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: Be most definitely, And that's the reason why I said

179
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: when that's the reason why I'll try to lead and

180
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: I try to show by example the way I do.

181
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's where you know to be

182
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: my first three years, I knew what it felt like

183
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: to be in the playoff, and I know what it

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: feels like to these last four years to not make

185
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: the playoff at all.

186
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: So and that's the.

187
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: Reason why I emphasized now, I don't want to go

188
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: nowhere when we're talking just about the game of football,

189
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: I want to be here. I want to make sure

190
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: that my leadership is the reason why we could get there, because,

191
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: like I said, I know what to take and as

192
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: much if I could keep helping these young guy improve,

193
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: not just on the field with they're play, but with

194
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: their leadership like Cam, Like if I could get Cam

195
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: to be one of the best leaders in that locker

196
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: room in the NFL, that we could go places because

197
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: we know he has the talent, but how can he

198
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: keep getting better as a leader to make sure he

199
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: could get everything he can out of their offense. And

200
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: the same thing with me on the defense. Them guys know,

201
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: I'm push them as as hard as anybody, you know,

202
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: sometimes harder than the coaches, because I know the potential

203
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: that they have as a especially young guys that I.

204
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: Know what to take to get back to winning football games.

205
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: When you were drafted by the Tennessee Titans, and I

206
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: went back and watched the video just to confirm that

207
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: I was remembering this right. You made a promise to

208
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Titans fans that you were going to do everything that

209
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: you could do to make them proud. Are we still

210
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: seeing you living out that promise?

211
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: It wasn't so much of you know, I want to

212
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: kind of prove the outsiders wrong. I knew who I know,

213
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: who I am as a person, I know who I

214
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: am as a player. It's all about, Yes, I'm going

215
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: to continue to make you guys proud. I'm going to

216
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: continue to do the work that needed to be done,

217
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: especially in our community. You know, that's one of the

218
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: things that I'm really, you.

219
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: Know, proud of.

220
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: I'm I'm so like, you know, committed to because I mean,

221
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: this this all platform like without using our platform, especially

222
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: being in the NFL, I think it's very pointless to

223
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: not use their platform and to continue to make this

224
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: city proud, not just for my play, but the way

225
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: I try to make an impact, the way I try

226
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: to just be a light in the community. I think

227
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: that's what you know, Yes, the football is going to

228
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: take care of yourself, but I think That's what really

229
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: makes me really proud to see the impact that I

230
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: have on our community and especially our youth.

231
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: And I mean the impact that you've had in throughout

232
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season is bananas. Remember what ten

233
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: days all season where you weren't out in the community

234
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: doing something. It felt like every week, multiple days a week,

235
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: you were involved in something and it was heavily yoused,

236
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: but it was everywhere you were, all over the place.

237
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Is that something that you want to continue going forward

238
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: that pace of doing things.

239
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I won't slow down because I know like all

240
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: communities need us, all youth need us. And I constantly

241
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: keep saying and it's one of the things where you know,

242
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: you hate to talk about it, but it's just like

243
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: for me personally, when I have a break in in

244
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: my home and you see these young kids, I mean,

245
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,360

246
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: my calamary foot that I'm like, these young guys like

247
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: maybe twenty twenty, like these young people, like young guys.

248
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: Maybe if I would could have just talked to them,

249
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: like maybe I could have just reached out like everything

250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,520
