Yeah, 45 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: first time in a very long time actually, um since 46 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: my recruiting days. But it was it was a fun experience. 47 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: I got to experience tailgating for the first time, hang 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: out with some some friends, some families, and it was 49 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: like the first time that I wouldn't have nerves or 50 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: have to go to a pregame meeting, and I got 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: to eat more junk food instead of the normal pregame 52 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: healthy meal. So it was a fun experience for sure. 53 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: I definitely miss walking through the player walk and all 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: that stuff, but it had to come at some point. 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: So but it was a good experience. I'm glad we 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: got to w and hopefully I'm around for more. No, 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: you want to get picked up, right, So you don't 58 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: want to be you want to be on a team. 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: I want to support my brother I want to support 60 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: my brothers when I can support them, and so I 61 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: can't even control that part about it. So I'm just 62 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: gonna be training working as much as I can. But 63 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: if there's a weekend and the boys are boys are 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: rolling and then I'm in town, I'm gonna be there. 65 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it was cool that that was 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: the second time I was back. I was back for 67 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: the USC game. I think sean senior year. What you want, yeah, 68 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: like three yeah, I did. Um. I think it's twenty nineteen. 69 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: I was at UCF and is a bye week, so 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: I came back. But No, that was awesome. Yes, it 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: was hot. I think that I only stayed the first 72 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: quarter and then I left. I mean that's all I could. 73 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean it was tail game right for like four hours, 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: So the first time I've ever just you know, shout 75 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: outside and heat and just drank, you know, and then 76 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: going into a game and blazing sun. I don't know 77 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: how the students do it. Yeah, stand in the whole 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: game too. I don't know. Waking up at seven am 79 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: especially about about that's crazy. No, it was fun, man, 80 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: is good experience. And again glad y'all got the w 81 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: yesterday's game. From a player perspective, we're all thinking going 82 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: into it, and after me personally, I felt like like 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: relief for sure, just getting Yeah, for serious, I feel 84 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: like the team is just in a really good headspace now. 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: Because I said this in the media, I was like, 86 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: y'all were on our heads the whole week, Like the 87 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: media was on our head the whole week. Um, and 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: we kind of just came out and shut them up. 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: But I want to hear what you guys say about 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: the game and after the game. I guess for me, 91 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: like the outside perspective, I thought we played well. I 92 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: thought we've talked about this before, but I thought the 93 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: preparation in the week it was like much better than 94 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: it has been the previous two two games, and I 95 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: felt much better going into this game. I thought it showed. 96 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: I mean, defensively, guys played really well. So I think 97 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: overall is a good game. It's an Indiana game, which 98 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: is always fun for me. You know, like get amount 99 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: people there that I knew. So you've been around to 100 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Purdue Notre Dame rivalry, Like I have no understanding of it, 101 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: and I was getting asked about it. I'm like, I'm 102 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: not familiar, right, but you grew up like one of them, Like, yes, 103 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: this is a big rivalry. But it was always like 104 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: the Michigan was always like the big sht. We played 105 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: them every year, but now we don't, so pretty I 106 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: never like, I honestly didn't know we had a Ridway trophy. 107 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: Pretty so we did you. I didn't even know that. 108 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: I just thought it was yeah, wow, which trophy wasn't 109 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: I thought that was yo? I thought we lost that 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: need the brush shop? You know the name history? Yeah, 111 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: ain't know that. Well, you definitely didn't know that. Bro. 112 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: What if you know the Notre Dame history, then you 113 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: would know all the rivalry trophies there we have, So 114 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: go ahead and listen. I don't know the names of 115 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: the rivalry trophies. I just know that we have them all. 116 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: How many? How many other how many got them? Okay, 117 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I don't know if we have 118 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: them with Michigan, but I do know the last time 119 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: we played Michigan we lost, so we probably don't have 120 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: that one. I don't think there is no there is 121 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: a trophy with Michigan there. Yeah, I think we all 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: need a fresh Then we got them all. How many 123 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: story there might be like a weird one out there, 124 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: like Northwestern might be a weird one on us Stanford Stanford, 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: not Miami Miami College. Maybe not college did we definitely 126 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: got Stanford when he drank Navy was the last time 127 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: we played. I wonder if we have Texas State. Nah, 128 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: you're just naming games now Alabama. For me, probably the 129 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: biggest thing is preparation. Uh this I went into the week. 130 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: It was like a kind of a chip on my 131 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: shoulder coming out of Toledo game didn't play out one 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: to play, so um coming into the week, like with 133 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: that chip on my shoulder, that is attack preparation in 134 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: a different mindset, and I feel like me doing that 135 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: has allowed me to realize that that needs to be 136 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: every week rather than this stagnant and just like something 137 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: I say. So that's probably the biggest thing for me. 138 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: And then after game, similar to you, this like a 139 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: side relief, like smoke. Yeah, for straging what I was 140 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: feeling after the last two games. Yeah, I feel like 141 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: we just put in a lot of work because we 142 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: can practice, so I felt like we just had to 143 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: go out and just we had to go out and 144 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: ex secure. Really were just putting way too much work 145 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: to not you know what I'm saying. So I felt 146 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: like that was kind of like my whole mindset behind 147 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: the game. And I feel like we went out there 148 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: and do we had to do. And also like during 149 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: the game, I felt like our I guess, like the 150 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: atmosphere on the sideline kind of like especially within that 151 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: little dB group, like it was just yeah, it was 152 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: definitely more uplifting. The conversation was more constructive throughout the 153 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: entire game. So I felt like, I feel like that's 154 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: where we improved on a lot this week going out 155 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame and like getting passed it and like 156 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: seeing other stuff like obviously you transfer to UCF and 157 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: like would you in the league now? What do you 158 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: think it's the biggest difference, like being in other programs 159 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: or to be college or the NFL, between Notre Dame 160 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: and other stuff. The biggest thing that I learned just 161 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: being with the Raiders in the off season was the 162 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: locker room UM, the brotherhood that you're able to build 163 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: UM at a university or at Notre Dame specifically, it 164 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: was it's like no other I was here for a while, 165 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: so I got to be a part of many different 166 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: classes and many different I guess teams, but UM for sure, 167 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: when you get when you get to the next level 168 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: or if you leave UM university and move on elsewhere. 169 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: It's it's the locker room and just the brotherhood. That's 170 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that you're gonna miss walking in the 171 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: building each and every day, seeing the guys that you 172 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: go to work with and seeing the guys that you 173 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: care for, seeing put in the same work that you've 174 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: put in all offseason. It's gonna be different, just because 175 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: in the league you see guys for the first time 176 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: at OTAs and you don't even know what they did, 177 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: so you might you might have. It was a lot 178 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: of people I didn't even know their names, I didn't 179 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: know their stories. I didn't know anything really as just hey, 180 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: what's up? Like you show up the work and then 181 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: you leave work pretty much. But definitely, definitely the brotherhood 182 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: is what I missed the most. I think the same 183 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: experience for me. I didn't play at the professional level, 184 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: but you know, you still try to build a locker 185 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: room camaraderie and at UCF is a little bit bit 186 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: different with the background of a lot of the athletes, right, 187 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: I mean, there's heavy centered on Florida athletes and then 188 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: here at Notre Dame you get you get guys from 189 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: all across the country, which is obviously unique. And again, 190 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: like like Sean said, there was a pretty special bond 191 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: that we created here at Notre Dame, m and you 192 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: continue to feel that, right, Like my relationship with Sean 193 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: has obviously extended beyond our time playing together here at 194 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. What do you all thinks like the biggest 195 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: difference between Notre Dame and everybody else? And obviously you 196 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: don't know for sure, but if you could guess her soon, yeah, 197 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't really know. I guess what I would assume 198 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: is similar to what he was saying, Like at every 199 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: other school or majority of the big state schools, a 200 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: lot of those UM athletes come from that state. But 201 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: here you get guys from Germany, you get guys from 202 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: a y you get guys from Texas and then New York. 203 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: So that brings a lot of diversity to team. And 204 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: that's what I personally enjoyed the most. I feel like 205 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: in our locker room, especially like a Notre Dame, it 206 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: is more like UM, Like I really feel the family 207 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: aspect of it. Everybody's looking out for everybody and like 208 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: it goes beyond like just looking out for each other 209 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: on the field and stuff like that. But like even 210 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: if I need helping like the classroom or something like that, 211 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: or like, um, just life stuff, you know what I'm saying, 212 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: Just things like that. So I feel like definitely a 213 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: family aspect. We got a good little vibe with that. 214 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: So Brandon was the biggest difference from school. Yeah, you 215 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: don't gotta you don't gotta laugh by asking the question 216 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: reason why you like, you're already inferring the answer. Bro Like, 217 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to speak down on any university's academic program, 218 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: but the rigor of Notre Dame, I mean, that's I 219 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: forget he I was talking to, But I think Nor 220 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Dame is only able to recruit less than a third 221 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: of high school athletes that are in the ESPN three 222 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: hundred just due to academic on standards, right, less than 223 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: a third. It's less than the So I think there's 224 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: three hundred, right athletes, so I think they can only 225 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: recruit almost like sixty or seventy five of those athletes, right. 226 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: So that just tells you the standard that we help 227 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: we hold our athletes too. And that's not to say 228 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: that University Central Florida doesn't do that, but that's just 229 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: where the nerd Dames, the Stanfords, the Northwestern is the Dukes, 230 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: the Vanderbilts of the world. And sometimes that's why people 231 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: don't you know, we're not able to get the four 232 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: and five, get to the Yeah, get to the end 233 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: of the tunnel right and compete at the I mean 234 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: we do it right. We do a great job of 235 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: figuring out ways to compete at that level. But getting 236 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: over that hump, right, I'm sure we've all spoken about it, 237 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: We've all been a part of that. So I don't 238 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: know if it's something that we have to do to 239 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: get ourselves to get over that hump, But those are 240 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: that academic standard that we that we hold ourselves here 241 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame is just greater than a lot of 242 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: other schools in the country. Yeah, I would just saying 243 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: the differences between different programs in the country. If I 244 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: would assume and talking to other guys that I know 245 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: that played college football, like the academic stress that's put 246 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: on us and stress just as noted football players compared 247 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: to other schools, I feel like that's completely different than 248 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: if you don't even got worried about going to Clauds 249 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: being study all the time, like all that. On top 250 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: of China win a national championship, Like yeah, it's like 251 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: that really separates us. And like other schools no knock on, 252 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: like Northwesterns or dudes, but like they're not competing for 253 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: a national champion Shepherd whenever year like we are.

I didn't think I was gonna miss 292 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: it just because like yeah, like like just going out 293 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: there and just seeing how many people are in the 294 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: at the university. For you, it's just it's wild. Just 295 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: you took it for granted while you were here. No, no, no, no, 296 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't think so, because I was at the telgate 297 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: first time, so you see like all the people who 298 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: are literally just here to go watch y'all play. Like 299 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: when you go into the stadium, you see all the fans. 300 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Like that was the first time that I was just 301 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: like able to just like look around and see all 302 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: the fans. Just some people who couldn't even get into 303 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: the game, some people who watch the game from their 304 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: cars and from their tailgates and stuff like that. But 305 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: when you're out of it, you realize, like wow. And 306 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: then when y'all came running out the smoke and I was, 307 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: I was like, bro, I gotta go, Like I was 308 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: just I just got sad and everything, because that's because 309 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: that's like game time, like smoke running and then like 310 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: you run down some people run down to the field. 311 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: Some people do their little pregame routine, and that's like 312 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: the first time you see like how packed the stadium is. 313 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get that experience again, even in the league. 314 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: It's just it's just different, Like people really got like 315 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: Notre Dame Pride and see sitting next to some fans 316 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: was crazy just because like fans are brutal.

But it was just 324 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: it was just a whole experience, and it's yeah, I 325 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: think for me, the thing I miss most is just 326 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the people. Man. It's again it's cliche, but the people 327 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: in the process of like going into the goog every 328 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: day and you know, it becomes repetitive and becomes tedious, 329 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: but you don't realize how you know, unique of an 330 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: experience that is, right, Like I spent a lot of 331 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: time playing pool and ping pot with like Chase Claypool 332 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: and Tyler Newsom and those little things in that little 333 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: community that you build and you can definitely can take 334 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: that for granted. And then once you're living on your own, 335 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: that's the thing I think it's hard to like learn 336 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: and grow into, is like living on your own without 337 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: a community, right and having football and your teammates. It's 338 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: such a unique community. And I think that's the thing 339 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: that I miss and I probably missed, like the crib 340 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: like three. Yeah, that's the biggest thing for me. Like 341 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: my teammates keep me going. Like you said, it sounds cliche, 342 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: but I wake up every day and even when I 343 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: don't feel like it, y'all motivating too, So I can't 344 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: really say like days because yeah, I'm still it's really 345 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: stressful for me. So um right now, that's what I 346 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: would probably say, probably say what Brandon was saying, like 347 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: the community. I'll talk to people that like just recently graduate, 348 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: like my brother, and he says, you'll miss college because 349 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: all of your friends are right there, would be like 350 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: they're not. It would be difficult for all four of us, 351 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: all six of us to meet up in a year 352 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: or two for now, you know, like once thereon leaves 353 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: where everyone's gonna have something going for them. So I think, 354 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: like what cam Brandon was saying, the community that we 355 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: have here like would be difficult to replicate once we 356 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: all graduate, So I think I'll definitely miss that. I 357 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: think I go for any college too, you know, like 358 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: everyone all your all your close friends are here, you know, 359 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: so they're definitely the community itself on this Yeah, I 360 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: would probably say the team just kind of what Brandon 361 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: was saying again, like playing pool guys, and like just 362 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: being in locker room. You've been it all hot Um, 363 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I'm on Hawks in the locker rooms, 364 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: so I doesn't want to ask him for the name 365 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: of the song, so he steals my phone to look 366 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: it up. But not just like stuff like that, because 367 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame as one of the tightest locker rooms. 368 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: Nobody in locker room is hating on anybody. I feel 369 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: like we're all rooting for each other at the end 370 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: of the day, and I feel like sometimes get toxic 371 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: and other locker rooms and in the NFL as well. 372 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: It's just an experience that's rare and that I'll definitely miss, 373 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: just the community, just everybody not includes the students too, 374 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: like all our friends that aren't on the team or 375 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: things like that. You know, I'm saying, all the people 376 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: you meet, Like every day you can meet somebody new 377 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: and somebody you just never really talked to the next 378 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: never another story, get to know some one a difference. 379 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: So I'll just say the community and just campus is 380 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: nice too. Sometimes I like, like, I mean, take it 381 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: for granted, but people like come, they travel from countries 382 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: to come see our campus, which is crazy, but and 383 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: we just walk on it every day. And just what 384 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying, walked past has bird walked past it, dawn 385 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: walk past all that. I mean, yeah, there's a lot 386 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: of stuff you can take forgetting, but you know, he's day. 387 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: You just gotta enjoy it. What I found out is 388 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame prepares us very well, specifically for the 389 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: next level in the game. I feel like I came 390 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: in prepared. I felt like and I feel like I 391 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: could speak on other universities and this point, just because 392 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: I came in with the guys from different schools and 393 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: different universities, and so I felt like I was just 394 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: ahead just by more professional than exactly for sure, just 395 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: the way that I carried myself, just the way that 396 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: I was like showing up the meetings and taking notes 397 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: and meetings and things like that, and then also transitioning 398 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: to the field. We have great coaches who do a 399 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: great job of preparing us throughout the week, preparing you 400 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: throughout your career really, and so when you do get 401 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: to that next level, it's a real easy adjustment for sure. 402 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: And I know for some guys it was definitely different. 403 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: It was a tough adjustment for most guys. But for me, 404 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: just being able to go in there and just talk 405 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: ball at many a different about different positions. I gotta 406 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: really think the coaching staff at notre for that for sure, 407 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: that you played like all the defense positions for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, 408 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: make sure y'all listen to Pollion too. Yeah we need 409 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: to shout out TJ. Yeah, your teacher already hit TJO. 410 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: He knows. Yeah, I told TJO like within the first 411 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: week because I was put in a good position. Yeah, 412 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: for sure, I just knowing the whole back in and 413 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: run gaps and all that stuff that goes along. Do 414 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: you think he was most prepared for like X and 415 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: os or like physically you're more prepared, like billis Watse. 416 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: There's some dudes who there who like who are freaking natures. 417 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: But then there's some other dudes who just I mean 418 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: natures athletes. You look at them like they just look 419 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: like me, Like they look normal, you know what I mean, 420 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Like you're not gonna be like, oh, like he's a specimen. 421 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: Like they don't look like OC all of them don't 422 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: look like so. But I was able to pick up 423 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: the X and os faster, and so I think that 424 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot. I'll me to play faster on the field. 425 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: So I think they both go hand in hand. Gotch you. Yeah, 426 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about Bayliss right and being physical. I'm curious 427 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: for you guys. For me, it's like more mental with 428 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: Bayliss than anything, right, like getting you understand wait and 429 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: putting you in positions that were more mentally mentally taxing 430 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: than than physically right. So have you guys kind of 431 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: had the same experience, right, because I think Sean, I 432 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: think our class we were the first one is to 433 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: kind of go through with Bayless and the difference between 434 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, the previous staff and Bayliss's staff was just 435 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: again the situations we were putting in from a from 436 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: a weight training standpoint, propelled to us mentally more than anything. 437 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: I definitely would agree with that too, because like some 438 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: of the stuff we have to do in that way 439 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: room might be like, dude, I got to go in 440 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: a different place. Yeah, I really do, got different mental 441 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: space like to just kind of get right and like 442 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: just just accomplish what's in front of you. It's kind 443 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: of things. So I definitely feel that mentally, but I mean, 444 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: you definitely get physically stronger too, right. He definitely like 445 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: figures out a way to train every aspect of like 446 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: the body, even though emotionally sometimes I'm like broken, I 447 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: don't even want to do this, but he's helped me 448 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: like get over that, So I agree with that. Yeah, 449 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: at least for me, he pushed me farther than like 450 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: I've ever physically and mentally ever gone before. It's like 451 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: giving me like a good like like well, Wallston, the 452 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: last team workout we did, like someone would push the 453 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: log down you though, yeah, I'm sitting there. I was 454 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: like doing this good team minutes now how much longer? 455 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: And afterwards I was like, no, I feel I knew 456 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: I know how much farther I can go no, I 457 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: don't think without Patiss I would have been able to 458 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: reach that level. I Mean it sounds cliche, but like 459 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: I really became a man in that weight room, like yeah, 460 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: mentally and physically, like grow up. Yeah, I grew up 461 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: in that weight room and that indoor, like you're gonna 462 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: go through some stuff in there. And when I came 463 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: in as a freshman, like I'm sure you guys can 464 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: even notice this, Like I would get in the weight 465 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: room and like we would have a hard work out 466 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: and I'm just like this, Yeah, it's horrible, Like how 467 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: am I about to get through this for the next 468 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: four years? And that was funny because I was actually 469 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: talking to Bayliss about it and I was like, be honest, 470 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: what do you think of me? When I first came in? 471 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: How much are you? How much? When I first wait in, 472 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: I was one ninety seven Okay, that's something high end bro. Yeah, 473 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: for a week before he came out. Now, I definitely 474 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: drank like five hours of water before that first freshman weighing, 475 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: but h I was probably like one ninety four. Th 476 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: real now he was like I knew you're gonna be 477 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: like okay, but mentally he's pretty much like I thought 478 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: you were a bitch. I was like, fair, Like, I mean, 479 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't attacking stuff. How No, I said, I'm just Lamannah, 480 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: but uh, He's like it kind of showed me how 481 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: far i've in terms of the workouts and how that's 482 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: pushed me to be like more of a leader and 483 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: like expressed myself out. Yeah, being in weird because freshman year, 484 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: I was just like, how am I gonna get through this? 485 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Like I'm hurting. I'm hurting, but now I'm like trying 486 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: to help other guys get through it and stuff like that. 487 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: But I think that's just tons of maturing for sure. 488 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: It was crazy to me though it was It wasn't 489 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: even really the way room for me.

Now I'm an entrepreneur, so it's almost 588 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: like I have free will to do whatever I want 589 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: right and call the shot. So and now I'm managing 590 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: a team of like thirty five people, so it's let 591 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: me make sure my routine is downpacked, right, myself, my partner, 592 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: and the rest of the management team. That's the biggest thing. So, like, 593 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: I never thought I'd be waking up at six am 594 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: and working out and then having to go to and 595 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, my first meeting at eight am, right, so 596 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: I I have a schedule. But it was hard, man, 597 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: It's hard for the first year and a half after 598 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: I was done playing, especially because I was just training 599 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: and like trying to figure out my life. Like there's 600 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: so much you go through in terms of trying to 601 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: figure out who you are when you're done playing, because 602 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: right now it's like you're all football like, even though 603 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: we don't like to think it, like that is your life. Yo. Yeah, right, 604 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: that's a crazy thing too. I Mean that's a that's 605 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: a conversation you can have is that you don't know 606 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: who you are without a pig skin, Like I didn't 607 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: know who I was. You know, it's tough. It's a 608 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: tough thing to digest, and it's a tough thing to 609 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: put aside. But that's why I think we chose Notre 610 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: Dame is the opportunity to become more than just you know, 611 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: just a pig skin. But for me, like scheduling is, 612 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: it goes a long way, and you know, the best 613 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: of the best have a routine, so that's why I 614 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: do it well. For me, I guess it's still similar 615 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to college I mean, um well as far as just 616 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: like the football aspect, when you're with a team, you 617 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: have a schedule from the time you wake up till 618 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: the time you're able to leave, so that pretty much 619 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: hasn't changed. You just have a lot more free time 620 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: outside the facility really, But I can just say I was, like, 621 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: looking back on it, unfortunate just to have like I 622 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: was injured early in my career, so I didn't always 623 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: have the same schedule or the structure that the rest 624 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: of the team had. I just had to like get 625 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 1: up and get my workout in and then get my 626 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: school work done. I guess, and so I get the 627 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: things done that I like needed to get get done. 628 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: And so I like, I'm kind of back at that 629 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: point now to where it's like I just gotta when 630 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: I get up, I try to get up at a 631 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: reasonable time, just so it's like when I do find 632 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: a team, my body is still used to like getting up, 633 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: going to work and stuff like that. So me and 634 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: my trainer back home, we kind of plant it like 635 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: what we want to do each day and how the 636 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: week's gonna go. But so I get my workout in 637 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: and then for the rest for the next part of 638 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: the day just like kind of just network and kind 639 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: of figure out who I want to be, what I 640 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: want to do outside in football, and so I just 641 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: kind of what I spend the rest of my day doing. 642 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: And then when I get done with all that, I 643 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: just I try to watch some just some cut ups 644 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: of film or something like that, or do some stretching, 645 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: some mobility yoga. I mean, that's just pretty much it. Honestly, 646 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: like Brandon say, you just got to find your own routine, 647 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, just all the 648 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: great ones have a routine no matter what field you're in, 649 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: whether it's sports business or you're entrepreneur or anything like, 650 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna need your own routine what works for you. 651 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: But I think I do think notre Dame structure and 652 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: the schedule allows you to fight through the stuff you 653 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: don't want to do, because there's gonna be a lot 654 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: of things. Then you're in the next part of your 655 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: life that you don't want to do. But like having 656 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: to get up early and go to a meeting or 657 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: having to get up and go to like a compliance meeting, 658 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: the same exact thing, Like you gotta sit through, you 659 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: gotta listen and take notes and do those things, and 660 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: then there's gonna be things throughout the day that you 661 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: do want to do. Yeah, it's crazy the routine we 662 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: get in, Like especially during the season, everybody's talking on 663 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: the locker room like we're done with the game. So 664 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: we had a game yesterday, Sunday, were recovering Monday, coming 665 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: for film. You look up, it's Friday night, like getting 666 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: ready for the next game. It goes by like that, 667 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: like it's bang bang bang. But Brandon, you're talking about 668 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: starting your own company. You want to expand on that 669 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: a little more. Yeah, you're wrapping the merch right now, 670 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the hard right. I didn't know I 671 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: was gonna have so wasn't wasn't playing Charlatan record. The 672 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: merged in the company all weekends, So I appreciate it. Yeah, 673 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: any figured out. Definitely if the if the business is 674 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: right and the people are right out, definitely rab it. 675 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: But brand is the brand is a good guy. Appreciate 676 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: the plug, Go get that, go sign it. But mogul man, 677 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: uh n, I l's hot right, hotter than ever. It's 678 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: the hottest topic, hottest conversation in sports. So what we 679 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: did at Moguls we created a tech platform that allows 680 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: current college athletes to connect to brands and businesses for 681 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: marketing and other monetization opportunities. Opportunities are going to be 682 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: endless for everybody here. It's a free platform. Um, you know, 683 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: opposed to marketing reps and agents that you know, you're 684 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: probably familiar going through it right now. But when they 685 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: represent an athlete, even at the collegiate level, if if 686 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: that athlete has the belieity to garner thousand dollars deals, 687 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: that mark rep is going to you know, take a 688 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: decent chunco of what we're taking so our platform is 689 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: completely free, and then we've also inbedded a very streamlined 690 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: compliance process, so we worked directly with each of the 691 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: university's compliance offices and make sure that all the deals 692 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: that are being conducted through the platform are compliant. But man, 693 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: it's been fun and I'm sure you guys are experiencing 694 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: the nil stuff. We launched our platform about a month 695 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: and a half ago, have closer to two thousand athletes 696 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: across the country on the platform, and we're rolling in. 697 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: It's exciting, and we made a splash here in South 698 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: Bend this week. It is exciting to be to be back. 699 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Centered in college or is it high school 700 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: athletes too? So the only state that allowing high school 701 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,959 Speaker 1: athletes to make money now is California currently. So once 702 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: that expand, once that expani will be able to, you know, um, 703 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: expand our target market into high school Paul, What was 704 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: that that was three minutes? What do we what are 705 00:35:53,040 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: we usually charged for? That's an a right, Yeah, we'll 706 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: talk about that after. But now that's awesome and it's 707 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: definitely needed in space. Now it's only gonna grow. I 708 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: mean it's the first but four months this has been around, 709 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: so maybe less than that. So it's still a baby 710 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: and you guys are getting in really early. But if 711 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: you guys are around now, what do you think you 712 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: would want to do in terms of nil, We'll be 713 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: We'll be at the top of your NIL list. I 714 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: don't know. This was my first roommate ever in college too, 715 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: like the first summer, so I know him a little bit. 716 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: Or what do you think? What do you You spent 717 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: a lot of time sleeping. He spent a lot of 718 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: time gaming big gamer. Really a lot of time not 719 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: anymore to I had, you know, I was six years 720 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: in the game, had to get out of this, had 721 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: to grow up. You spent a lot of time doing 722 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: eating shows, sep being shows. Right, So those are some 723 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: of the categories I put. So I did everything that 724 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: a normal person did, watched and watch. But now I 725 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: probably would have came up with some like some generic shoes, 726 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: but they would have been tough like they would have been. 727 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: They wouldn't have been Nikes though, but they would have 728 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: been yeah, generic, but tough like they would have been 729 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: better than the little the Google shoes just have everybody 730 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: on campus rocking them like twenty bucks, but they're gonna 731 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: get you right, like some what's the starberries the star Like, yeah, 732 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: y'all arberries Marberry. I'm a hooper bro, you're hooper yer. 733 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, I probably would have just came out with 734 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: some shoes, hooked the team up. We would have got 735 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: rid of the travel shoes. You would have been shot, 736 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: would have been watching said that you said, I said 737 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: that some of that to be the next line you 738 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: need to shoot. But now I don't. I don't even know. 739 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: It's probably just like trying to get into some merch 740 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: and then definitely some like water or like normal tax 741 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: stuff that's stuff that I could use at home, that 742 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: um that we have at the facility, but that but 743 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: obviously things that I want to use and take care 744 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: of my body while I'm at home, So something like 745 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: a therap gun or like I said, normal tax um, 746 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 1: some water, Brandon, these are these are things you need 747 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: to be listening you like, we'll get the recording. UM. 748 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: I would have looked at it more of like a 749 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: professional level, like connecting with a bunch of the alumni 750 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: that want to get into the space, so like internships, 751 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: professional development types of opportunities. I think I think that's 752 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: what nerdy dame is gonna want to do too here soon. 753 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 1: But then, like I was really into fashion, um right, 754 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: say I was into fashion, Yeah, he's um alternative swag. 755 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: I think I would have like to own my own thing, too, right. 756 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have done partnerships with companies, 757 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: but I think I would have had a decent enough 758 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: in a sizeable brand, and following that I could have 759 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: done something where I had full ownership into it. Right then, 760 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: the last thing I think I would have looked out 761 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: for and would try to, you know, engage in with 762 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: long term partnerships rather than like one office. I don't 763 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 1: know if you guys have done or have constructed any 764 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: of your own you know deals yet, but I think 765 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: long term partnerships allow you to grow with a brand, 766 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: right and continue to build a relationship with a brand, 767 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: rather than just Okay, here's a here's a product, let 768 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: me let me throw up with social media post one time, um, 769 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: and and a lot of that goes to brand valley 770 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: right who you are as an individual. If your brand 771 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: doesn't align with that company or that that brand, then 772 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: I just don't see the value and help and promote 773 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 1: right that kind of brands kind of brands that y'all 774 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: want to be on.

I mean, 818 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: but we I mean that's the good thing about their name. 819 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: We play against great people like we.

Yeah, but 824 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: for me, it's like I'm not looking at the offensive side. Sorry, No, 825 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: I mean the best with the best that I played with, 826 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: it would probably be we have to come. There's one person. Yeah, 827 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one person. It would be one person, 828 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: not gonna like would be Kyle, but it's it's who 829 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: from three different levels before. I haven't played with you. 830 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: I got Um, I got Quittin Nelson and Smith. Yeah 831 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: we're you a freshman. We're a freshman. Yeah, dang, so 832 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: did y'all come in. We're all like, yeah, yeah, but 833 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: he looks different in any locker room. He came in 834 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: looked like that, Yeah he looked. It came into college 835 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: looking like that. Yeah he looked. But that team, being 836 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: on that team was fun because they had Nie, Yeah, 837 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: Will Fuller and y'all. So it was so it was 838 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: like it was like when you went to practice out there, 839 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: it was like, let me just go ball, Like I'm 840 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm just be out here with these guys. Let me 841 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: see what my skills look like against up against these guys. 842 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: So it was just going out each and every day 843 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: just competing with the best. Really. I remember one time 844 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: I got to set the edge on queue. Yeah yeah 845 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: I did it too. But now he probably was just 846 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: looking out because it wasn't practice and it's my teammate. 847 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: But that's my claim to fame. How was it covering 848 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: uh wood speed? It was like that. It was just yeah, 849 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: Will against Yeah, So I was I was only a freshman, 850 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: so they didn't really like do me dirty and like 851 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: had me go out there for real. I was working 852 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: with the other freshmans and then just like the backup. 853 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: But I used to watch Will for sure. People used 854 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: to pull some hamstrings covering him. Nah, that's yeah, I'd 855 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: say that, and then the last thing for me would 856 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: would be Rocan Smith playing against him. Georgia got home. Yeah, 857 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: freaky talent from sidelines side. We played some great people. 858 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: We played Nick chub Man, all right, what was the 859 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: best game you ever played in?

Yeah. Yeah. 889 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: When we played Georgia Tech last year, that was the 890 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: first time ever having or not. I think so, I 891 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: think second questions from the same guy. Do you all 892 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: have any pre game rituals or anything you do before 893 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: the game? Superstitious about cam. You can start first ahead 894 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: even if you go last. So my mom, she like 895 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,919 Speaker 1: sends to me like a paragraph before every game since 896 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: high school. So I probably read that, probably like ten 897 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 1: minutes before I go out. There's something every game. Yeah, 898 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: something that just like types up every morning, but not 899 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,399 Speaker 1: everyone and every team, so probably read that. And then 900 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of prayers, so that actually, yes, I 901 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: do have one. So my dad has been a sideline 902 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: as well, so like I'll run it out of tunnel 903 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: like saying prayer, whatever, come back, dap them up, then 904 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: we'll start the game. So high school, it wasn't my ship, 905 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: so high schools are different. It's different setting here now, 906 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: so mine's probably a prayer when we run out, Like 907 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: I have a prayer that I've memorized, pretty much talked 908 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 1: about him. I feel like I'm there for a while. 909 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: But I've been doing it like kind of freestyle the 910 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 1: first time the first game because I didn't even know 911 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: that dudes came out and prayed, but everybody ran down. 912 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: I was praying, and so the first game, like I 913 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: was like, and then I get down and start praying, 914 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 1: and then prayed and then get up. I'm like I'm 915 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: walking back and like I was kind of smooth, like 916 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: I like that. So I just kept saying the same 917 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: thing over and over again every game. So I just 918 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,280 Speaker 1: had a pregame song. The last song that I've always 919 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: played just before going out was go Get It by 920 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: Mary Mary. It's like, how's it go? Yeah, go get yeah. Yeah, 921 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: It's tough. Definitely check it out. It's gospel song, but 922 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: it's basically just saying like go get your blessings, so 923 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: you like go for like young boy, No, no, it 924 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: don't even matter.
