1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: You know what's messed up is that we still play

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: credit card roulette with these guys. It's super messed up.

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: He sweats when there's credit card roulette big time. Are

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: you still salty with me a little bit? It's harsh,

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: but I get it. Welcome into the lounge. I am

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880

00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: be joined by fullback Kyle you check, who has been

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: uh you know, so grateful to give us his time.

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: But before we start Pepper and Kyle with questions, we

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: want to read an email to kick things off, like

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: we always do. I love this one. This is actually

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: a review on iTunes and it's Mink v. Downing. This

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: one's from Jacko Ravens South, and Jacko says, hands down

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: the best Ravens related podcasts out there. Any true member

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: of Ravens Nation that should that should say the flock,

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: this flock needs to be tuning in. Would love to

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: hear from Joe Cool in the coming weeks. And of

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: course y'all have to get harves on. By the way,

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Mink definitely wins in on one on one. Sorry Downing,

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: but Ryan is way too scrappy to lose that battle.

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: I don't even know this guy. He's not a friend,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: I swear to God. Yeah, this is makes this is

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: what it makes Pseudodyms out there getting himself from credit. Well,

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: we will say this though, Jacko. We are currently in

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: contract negotiations with Joe to bring him on the podcast.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: We've tried a couple of times now, and you know, Joe,

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: here's the Joe's reaction. Yeah, you know, come on, he's

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: well aware, he's well aware of the lounge and that

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: we want to get him on there. He's going to

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: be on here sooner rather than later. Maybe after this

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: interview with Juice, Juice can kind of recruit him their boys.

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: There we go. So with no further ado, welcoming in fullback, Kyle,

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: use check Juice. We have to get to of course,

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot of fun with this, but

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: we'd be bad journalists if we didn't get to the

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: biggest news story where you really of the year. I'd say,

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: and uh, that's that you're gonna be playing Olympic handball. Yo,

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: that is a big start. That's that's realistic. I can

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: understand why you want to tackle that first off the

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: top we're serious journalists around here, so we can start

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: with that. Absolutely. Absolutely, Um, I think if I remember

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: Ray started with Justin Forcett tweeted at the handball team

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: after you watch the game, said Yo, I think I

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: could do this. I jumped right on that bandwagon real quick,

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: adding myself to that tweet, and UM, I mean lo

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: and behold. They ended up reaching out to me. A

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: couple of the guys on the team, UM invited me

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: out to playing some tournaments to spring at on the

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: West Coast and the East Coast, and we've you know,

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: we've gone back and forth and we're gonna figure it

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: out after the season. Have you played handball since sixth grade? Yes? Really, yes?

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: And uh I was undefeated in high school as the

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: handball champion all three years of team class. I couldn't

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: be stopped out there, So I don't see why I

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: couldn't do that on the biggest stage of the serious right. Absolutely,

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I think I can play it. I think. I mean

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I watched a couple of games during the Olympics and

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I just felt like and it looked easy, So you

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: feel like you could do it. I I don't think

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: it said it looked easy let's give myself some credit here.

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: Um no, I thought, I mean I was. I was

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback in high school. So I can throw the

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: ball and um, you know, I I can run and

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I have some size that I don't think a lot

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: of handball players have. So I think I'm ready. I'm

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: the guy for it. There we go to the Olympic

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Sport Tokyo. I think there's there's another major like um

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: worldwide tournament, maybe in Brazil, and you're definitely gonna need

69
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: someone to come out there and cover that. So I'll

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: go ahead volunteer through my name in the ring. Alright, Tokyo. First,

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: there we go. All right, so let's go this is

72
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: go back to the actual series topic. Trust in morning

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: way this week? Are you the saltiest guy in the

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: locker room? Because the first player of the game might

75
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: not becoming you anymore? You know? Uh? I guess someone

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter, uh you know, right after they let go

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: of Trustman tweet out with Trustman gone, who's going to

78
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: call the first play to the flask of the fullbag?

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Campernaro screenshot and send it to me? But um, we

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: haven't even done that this year. I know, and I

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: think that might be the cause of some of the

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: offensive problems. That's what I'm saying. That's we gotta look,

83
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: we gotta start there. We're talking about things that need

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to be fixed. I mean, we had a good thing going,

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: We had a great thing going. I think the problem

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: is that people like us, we kind of let the

87
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: cat out of the bag, and we were talking about

88
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: it a lot thousand percent. I told I tried to

89
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: let the media know that, Like, what are we doing

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: blowing up my spot? I know we messed it up

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: for you. I'm sorry. What was there, seriously your reaction

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: to the news and how did you find out? I mean,

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: hearts kind of made the decision, he said, without really

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: salting Joe even so, I'd imagine you got the late. Um.

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I actually I got the text from my brother. I'm

96
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: not even sure where he saw it, but he got

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: a text. He text me and let me know that, Um,

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, they had let trust mean go, and UM,

99
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. My initial reaction was a little bit surprised,

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: just because, um, you know, you don't see that big

101
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: of a change so quick, and the season that often right,

102
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: you know, Um, but you know you kind of have

103
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: to just treat it like you know, a lot of

104
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: players get cut the same as coaches get you know, released,

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: and you kind of have to treat it like that,

106
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, next man up. And Um, Marty is a

107
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: phenomenal guy when you know, one of my favorite coaches

108
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: on the staff. So I was happy to see who

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: was him that you know, stepped in. And I think

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: we're have some good changes. Why do you really like Marty?

111
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: And I know it's been limited time, but what do

112
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you think of Marty in its practice? Um? You know,

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: in the time that we've spent today, I loved every

114
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: adjustment we made. Um, totally agreed with a lot of

115
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: new stuff you put in. And you know, I like

116
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: the philosophy that we have going forward, and uh, it's

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: all positive for me. Do you think that the offense

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: to the layman person watching the game will look different?

119
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Like if I watched the game when watching the game

120
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday will be like, this is a totally different offense.

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the scheme you know, fundamentally is

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: going to stay the same, but will it look different? Ah,

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: That's I don't know, to be honest, you know, none

124
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: of us will know until Sunday. You know, obviously it's

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: all speculation right now because we've had one meeting and

126
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, one hour on the field. Um, but I

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it might it might look a

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: little different. You might, you know, see us being a

129
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: little more aggressive and um, you know taking our shots

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: and you know running the ball. So but I don't know,

131
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, we'll find out Sunday, right Is he gonna

132
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: dial up the half bag sweep to Juice aggressive? Yes,

133
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: there will be a pass from Juice. There will be

134
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: a sweet from Juice. We know in his offensive Like

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy though, is and you get asked

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: about this a lot, but is the fullback position? You know,

137
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: it is like a dying breed. There's not many guys,

138
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: there's not many of you guys least. But does it

139
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: bother you? Almost like that you play in this era,

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: this position, You're like, why couldn't I just play? Sometimes

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: we joke about this as journalist, like why wasn't I

142
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: not a newspaper reporter like forty years ago? Like they're

143
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: making bank were Um, you know, I don't. I don't

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: think it bothers me because you know, it's it's labeled

145
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: as this dying breed. But I mean, I'm not dead.

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: I'm playing the position, so you know that I can't

147
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: be you know, to up said, I'm still being utilized. Um.

148
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: But even I think the term the whole, like dying,

149
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: dying breed or the dying position. Um. I don't think

150
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: people realize that most teams, even if they're not listed

151
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: as a fullback on the roster, they utilize someone in

152
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: that position. Um, whether at the tight end or you know,

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: on goal line, so tuitions you'll see like defensive lineman

154
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: coming and all that. But I don't think it's as

155
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: dead as people think it is. To me, it's kind

156
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: of like a dinosaur, you know, like they kind of evolved.

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, dinosaurs exist still, dinosaurs like turtles are dinosaurs.

158
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, chickens chickens or dinosaurs. C Dude, you need

159
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: to get up on your evolution this. Yeah, but you're

160
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: not talking about an actual dinosaur, juice. He's just a

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: different kind of dinosaur. Right if you were any dinosaur,

162
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: which dinosaur would you be a chicken? Because they're a

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: dinosaur right, Well, they're a descendant of the velociraptor. At

164
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: least that's what Rassic Park tells me, you know what,

165
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 1: I as a kid, I was way into dinosaurs. Um.

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it would be sweetest to say

167
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: that you know you're a velociraptor, because I mean that's

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: just a combination of size, speed, agility, everything. But for

169
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: some reason, I love to triceratops when I was a kid,

170
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: which might make sense. I'm a fullback. They got a

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a bold as or look to him.

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: I like, although I think of what's that movie that

173
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: kidding me with? All Dinosaur Before Time? And Sarah was

174
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the tri Sarata So you're a big Sarah. Shoot. Yeah,

175
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: I actually wasn't a fan of Sarah. I was. I

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: was just kind of a little kind of a Peatree fan.

177
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Was a good car here. The man was the man.

178
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm still doesn't know what land before Time and that

179
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: wasn't really into that. I'm just still I'm still still

180
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: disappointed because we had the dinosaur debate before the show

181
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: and I was all in on the velociraptor, Like, if

182
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: I could be any dinosaur, that would easily be mine.

183
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: That's a good answer because like you said, it's size speed.

184
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: Also little known fact about the velociraptors. It's it's the

185
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: smartest of all dinosaurs. Which is which of these attributes

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: are like you, I'm going stego stago, how they are

187
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: the most the best, uh most good looking animals. Also

188
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: true dinosaurs has got something. But still field of my fire.

189
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Really one thing I think that you know, we gotta

190
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: get you in the Pro Bowl. That that's what's got

191
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: to happen to agree with you more and to start

192
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: doing that, we need some touchdowns. I mean, you're putting up.

193
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: You had six catches the other day, six catches only

194
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: behind Steve Smith in the Raiders game. We gotta get

195
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: you an end zone and your boy, Joe, you kind

196
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: of you kinda miss you on you. We're open you

197
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: or so you know, we came out, we came out

198
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: of came to the sideline, and you know, I was

199
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: upset at myself for not making the play. But I

200
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: mean even Joe said he's like he's like, um, that

201
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: was on me, Like that was a bad ball. But

202
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: still I felt like I could have made the play.

203
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: I got my hands on it. Did you? I mean,

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: you have Superman, you were Superman. You can tell how

205
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: bad you wanted that times read, yeah, read, and then

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: well then worse the thing is that flaky then sneaks

207
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: it in on fourth down. So he totally just bolstered you.

208
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: He did, but I mean you will be the first

209
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: one to tell you he would much rather have a

210
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: passing touchdown than a rushing touchdown. So I believe. I

211
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: don't think it was intentional, but I totally agree with you. Um,

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: we need we need to get in the end zone

213
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: and for going to get these votes. Yeah, do you

214
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: remember when Garrett just totally left you out? Yeah, we

215
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: gotta squash people don't forget. Yeah. Okay, so here's the story.

216
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks or a couple a couple of

217
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we had Tucker on the podcast, and Make

218
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: had a squash beef with Tucker because he it was

219
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: his long kick in training camp. Was the longest of

220
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: his life or something like that. Yeah, and he was

221
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and Tucker was like, that wasn't even the longest kick

222
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: that I had in practice. So you're out there putting

223
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: false information out there. Now, it's my opportunity to squashing

224
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: beef with you. Because a couple of years ago I

225
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: played out a story. It was like seven Ravens deserving

226
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl, and it was a great list,

227
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: but you were absent from that list. You haven't let

228
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: me forget it. Three years later. Yeah, this is when

229
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: things get awkward. He's still salty with me a little bit,

230
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: a little bit because I'm pretty sure and correct me

231
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. I finished, I think the highest and

232
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: the fan vote on our team that season. Well, I

233
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: think maybe what I think maybe what happened is after that,

234
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: after you gave you a hard time, then I really,

235
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, try to get the fan vote up there.

236
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: I went all out to try to get the fan

237
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: vote up there after the fact I felt bad. Well,

238
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and let's just let's keep doing that.

239
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: This year we're in and everybody says, you know, you

240
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: have always had a line like you don't want to

241
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: play in the Pro Bowl because you wanted to be

242
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: playing the Super Bowl. But with that said, tossing that

243
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: out right, it's in Orlando this year. Yeah, do you

244
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: even really want to go? I mean last year was nice.

245
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I went to Hawaii. Garrett didn't get to go. I

246
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: want to talk about that. You want to talk about

247
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,359
Speaker 1: squashing beef and you go back to that topic. Yeah,

248
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: but honestly, Orlando has got to hurt the attendance, right, Um, yeah,

249
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: probably I would think so. But for a guy that

250
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: hasn't been and I mean it's Orlando, I'm gonna upset

251
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,359
Speaker 1: that it's not in Hawaii because I would have been sweet. Yeah, obviously,

252
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: but still a free vacation. Not not not even a

253
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: free vacation. You're getting paid, So I mean, you got

254
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: that incredible resume builder. I am in my contract year.

255
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Wouldn't hurt to have a very good under my under

256
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: my belt. So um, I mean, I don't see how

257
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: you could look at any part of it as a negative.

258
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Very true. Sure, I mean there's nothing wrong with Disney,

259
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: lad I suppose. Yeah, Petri will probably be there, holler

260
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: my girl. Guy, I don't know. So. So we have

261
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: a segment on the podcast we call story Time, right

262
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of This one is for the kid easy, tell

263
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: a story and one story we want to get out

264
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: of the way. Is your first practice in pads ever

265
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: as a raven? Did pit I tell you this? I was,

266
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I was here for it. Be like Sharon and everyone,

267
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: all right, tell us the story and then we're gonna

268
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: get to a good story. So tell us that story first.

269
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: Really want to go into this. I mean, it sounds

270
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: like it's gonna good memory, but then we're going to

271
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: get into good stuff, all right, So I mean you

272
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: might want to you might want to fact check me.

273
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if all the facts are totally correct

274
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: in this story, but I'll go with what I remember.

275
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure my rookie year, Um, we had released

276
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Vonte after I got drafted, and you know, I had

277
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: taken all the first team reps, you know, through O

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: t as uh Mani camp, all that went into training camp.

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: It was just me at fullback, and first day of

280
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: pads we decided we're that was gonna be live goal

281
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: line in short yardage and You're like, oh, this is great.

282
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: So I'm the only fullback on the roster and at

283
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: the time we were running first, second, and third team.

284
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: We called basically called the same play. I believe it

285
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: was about eight times in a row and it would

286
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: and it was just me on a lead with the

287
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, just full head of steam. Um, you know,

288
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: eight plays in a row, and it wore on me.

289
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: How was a young buck. I was new to the position,

290
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: and I remember I had gotten a stinger on one

291
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: of the earlier plays, and I tried to take myself out,

292
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: and you know, I went over the coach hardball, juice.

293
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? My coach? I got you know,

294
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I got a stinger, because Jews, if you want to

295
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: play fullback in the NFL, you can't have stingers. Okay,

296
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: so go back in there and continue to get rocked.

297
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't a pretty showing. And then, um, this is

298
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: where I don't you have to fact check me. I'm

299
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: pretty sure the next day Vonte was in the building,

300
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: it was maybe well, you know, we all know Vonta

301
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: never got a stinger. I'm pretty sure vont had to

302
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: line up for that same play eight eight times straight.

303
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: He would not have been feeling good at the end

304
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: or looking good at the end of that one either.

305
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would have no. I remember interviewing you.

306
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it might have been that day after words,

307
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: and like you had scratches on your neck. It was

308
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: gotten like a backyard brawl. The next two weeks. This

309
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: is in uh, you know, August training camp time, when

310
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: it's a hundred degrees. I had I had to wear

311
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: a turtleneck for the next two weeks because my my

312
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: neck was so beat up and bruised and scratched myers

313
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: and it was terrible. That's white football or fullback of

314
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: But let's go the other way on this one. That

315
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: was not the best day. But let's talk about your

316
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: first big time hit, because I think it was against

317
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: the Bears. Was this your rookie year, all right, Soldier

318
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: field to set the stain Soldier field that I want

319
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: to say, Um, it was the opening kickoff of overtime. Okay,

320
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: this was this was the um. There was like a

321
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: tornado before the game. The field was absolute mud pit um.

322
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: So there weren't a lot of I was on kickoff return.

323
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: There weren't a lot of just regular kicks. There was

324
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of squibs and sky and all, you know,

325
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: playing to the field conditions, and scoop kick came my way,

326
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: and you know we're taught. Um, you know, if you're

327
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: not the return and you get the ball downfield, just straightforward,

328
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: you're not joking, You're not jibing, nothing of that. So

329
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: I did exactly that and I ran straight at uh

330
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: this Bears free safety lowered my head and Craig Craig

331
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: stilts l s U right, I think so, and uh,

332
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: he took a nap, But there's a lot of gifts

333
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: of it, and you'll see, you know, we have. I

334
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: had some good teammates, Vonte and Jacoby were calling for

335
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: medical staff and everything that. You know. They were good

336
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: guys out there, and you were just like that was awesome.

337
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: So Harvard, you got to Harvard. Now, John Herschel pretty

338
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: much gets all the credit for being the smartest guy

339
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: on the team. Yeah, but you're a Harvard guy economics major, right,

340
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: So do you rival him as the smartest guy on

341
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: the team. I'd like, I'd like to say that I do,

342
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: but I just don't think that true. John's he's brilliant.

343
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: I think all the credit he gets is deserved. Um,

344
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: are you saying that you're not brilliant? I wouldn't go

345
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: that far. He was, he was before this goal line drill.

346
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: It was a lot smarter A while I was at Harvard. Well,

347
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta have some maths skills. Though you

348
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: got some math. Math was actually my strength. I originally

349
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: was a math major. UM got into some abstract math

350
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: advanced level courses. Um, you know, at Harvard, and that

351
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: was I quickly realized I need to get out of

352
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: that field, and uh switched economics. That is still it's

353
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: math based. So that was the closest thing. Did they

354
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: still have some of those like easy football player classes

355
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: even at Harvard? No, they don't exist. They know we're not.

356
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: There's no bowling, there's no swimming or that's really a shame. No,

357
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a brutal course load. I mean,

358
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a football player, but I still took bowling,

359
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: although I dropped that it was eight am. Who the

360
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: hell takes a bowling class? Eight in them? That's one

361
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: good thing I can say. There were no classes that

362
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: started before ten. M Oh, I should have got Harvard.

363
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean that. Yeah, they have lots the only thing back, Yeah,

364
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. I ended up for settling Harvard on

365
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: the Hacking High University. My brother was an alumni. There

366
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: we go, there we go. So is it kind of

367
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: funny that when you go to Harvard and you've got

368
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: all these other friends that are super smart and they

369
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: probably go working. You know, they're either lawyers now or

370
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: they work on Wall Street or whatever. They're making us

371
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good coin. But you're the football player. You're

372
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: still probably making more than most of those guys. Yeah,

373
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: it feels very good. It feels good. Although you know,

374
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: when I go back and visits with my friends and

375
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, we go out some reason, it seems like

376
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to maybe show a little cloud. They're always

377
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: the ones buying drinks before I can get to it. Oh, no,

378
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: we got it, Like we make money too. Okay, if

379
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: you want to buy go ahead. Well, now you hang

380
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: out with some other guys that have a little bit

381
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: of money. I mean, Joe Tucker put a two or false.

382
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: You hang out with those guys because you never have

383
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: to buy a drink. No, you know what's messed up

384
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: is that we still play credit card roulette with these guys.

385
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: It's super messed up. And I've gotten stuck with the

386
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: bill at least three times this Year's just the hy

387
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: percentage for how often you go out like you're paying it.

388
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't say most of the time, but I

389
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: think if I'm paying any of the times, it's a

390
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: little ridiculous when you're with that group. How do you

391
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: do you guys not say to Flacco like we all

392
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: know you signed a hundred twenty million dollar contract twice.

393
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: He's on that twice. Now. Yeah, honestly, if you want

394
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 1: to know what, Joe always offers to pay. But a

395
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of times Morgan Cox is there and uh, he's no.

396
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: He sweats when there's credit card roulette, big time, big times.

397
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: So um, we we just like to see him freak out.

398
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: So that's usually we just like that. And I'll just

399
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: hope that he that he loses. He got that extension

400
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: though he's got long snapper muney. But yeah's exactly. I

401
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: don't know what he's sucking about, but he's just that guy.

402
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: He's that guy. I kind of hate playing that game too. Man.

403
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: I say, everybody pay for your fair share, because I

404
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: was sitting here. You know, I'm not getting like the

405
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: steak and stuff I'm ordering conscientiously when you go out

406
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: with them, and you think that flack is gonna pay,

407
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: are you like, I'll take every appetizer, I'll take dessert. Yeah,

408
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: I get everything. So a couple of years ago, this

409
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: is another website article that you gave us a hard

410
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: time about, right, is that entre? I don't think. I

411
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: don't think it ever became an article. But I was

412
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: running on Twitter. I was thinking about writing an article.

413
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: Remember when I was character, I was as signing guy

414
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: Entourage characters, and uh, the fans also vote on this,

415
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: and you got Turtle, Turtle. You weren't reaction to your feelings.

416
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the saying that, um, any any publicity

417
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: is good publicity? Right? So, I mean, at least I

418
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: was on people's minds and I got voted for. I

419
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: kind of like the Turtle was everyone's favorite character. Nobody

420
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: disliked Turtle. Everyone loves Turtle. Yeah, he was the best

421
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: character on the show. And he ends up being rich, right,

422
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: loses all that weight, Yeah, gets beat up by Rhonda Rousey. Yeah,

423
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm not I I guess I'm not really looking to do that.

424
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: But no, he's not a bad character. No, Yeah, didn't

425
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: he didn't. He invest in some tequila, yeah, Avion, and

426
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: then he became he became like the richest guy of all. Yeah,

427
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: so now we know your post career move tequila. Here

428
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: we go. But yeah, so we had Pitt on the

429
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: podcast earlier and he said he took credit for your look.

430
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: He said that, like you're one of his, you know,

431
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: proteges that he molded. Is this true or what? Yeah,

432
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him credit. I'm gonna give some credit.

433
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: Um he uh, he got on me big. I wanna lie.

434
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: In my rookie year, I was I was struggling in

435
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: the in the style department, in the hair department. You know,

436
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: coming from Ohio, that just wasn't a priority Northeast Ohio.

437
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, we just it just wasn't ever. It

438
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: was an afterthought. And uh, Pitt kind of took me

439
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: under his wing, helped me with my hair, help me

440
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: with my on field swag. You know this, The sock

441
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: game has changed big time since my my rookie year.

442
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I gotta gotta give Pitt some credit. You've

443
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: also become kind of like, uh, I don't know, I

444
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: just feel like you're one of the guys who's got

445
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: a cool life off the field. You travel a lot,

446
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, I see you like traveling all over the place.

447
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: You went to Iceland. Yeah, tell me you got I

448
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: will supposed sell people in Iceland. Iceland was great. Um,

449
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: And I think my favorite part about it is it

450
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: was just a spur of the moment decision. Just um.

451
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: I've seen some friends and they my buddy said that

452
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: he was going to go check out the Northern Lights

453
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. I'm like, that sounds cool.

454
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,080
