1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Alrighty, it is the g bag Nation here on one

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: oh five three. Defanit at his time now for the

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper Show here in the g bag Nation, and

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: a good afternoon to Mari. How the heck are you?

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you? Oh? We're doing great? Thank you. Amar.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: I have a really tough question for you on this

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: one's hard. Are you good at building and or fixing things? Nah?

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm not okay, because that's a generational thing. I think

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: we're just talking about how the people who are like

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: twenty years older than me, which is like thirty years

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: older than you, I feel like all of them have

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: strong forearms because they fixed cars and they laid carpet

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: and they did all these things. But you're more of

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: our generation where you just have people do things for you. Yeah.

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting though, Um I think like maybe

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: in the eighties or elate seventies, they stopped having all

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: those type of programs in school, like carpentry. Yeah, all

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: these all these um different type of jobs you could

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: get coming coming straight out of how high school? You

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: can't even be qualified for those things anymore. So I

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: think that's a big reason why too. That's a good point,

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper here with you, brought to you by Ford

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: Built four Texas built for you. Now, how about those

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: ribs getting all fixed up? How how are you feeling

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: here as as we get closer to the weekend. Yeah,

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm getting better every day. I'm getting better every day,

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: So I'll be I think I'll be good to go

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: for Monday night. Well, that's great to know. That's great

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: to hear. Okay, now that we know that you're gonna

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: be okay, we had a discussion about waffles and pancakes

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: today to on our show, and we want to know.

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: We were going back and forth because we thought the

33
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: waffle was really good because it could hold thing. It's

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: a good vessel. It can hold the you know, the

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: syrup and the butter and all that stuff. Where are you,

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Amari on the waffle and pancake discussions. I think I'm

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the wrong guy to ask. I'm not really I've never

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: really been a big breakfast guy. I don't to this day.

39
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't really eat breakfast like that. Do you hate eggs?

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I love eggs though, but I'm just not a breakfast person. Um,

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: I never really have an appetite in the morning, So

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: you get up and like do your morning workout and

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: everything and don't really eat until what late morning or lunchtime. Yeah,

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: I don't really like I don't eat. I don't really

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: eat before practice. And I've always been that way. So

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, your your body gets accustomed to

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: you know whatever. You know, it's just like when you

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: take medicine and stuff like that, like you build a

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: certain type of immunity towards it. It's just like, um,

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: did you just claim immunity to breakfast? No, what I'm saying.

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is though, like when I was really

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: young or the first sport, the first sport I participated

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: in was track. I used to do entire track meets

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: without on an empty stomach, like I should run the

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: mile eight hundred, four hundred and so like my body

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: is used to me like, um, like doing activities without

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: eating in the morning. I would say, what age are

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: you talking about in track there? Because I remember in

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: track you were allowed to do three running two field events.

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: If you were running the eight hundred and the mile,

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: that means you weren't very fast yet? Were you ever

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: not really fast? No? No, I was always fast. Um,

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: I was just I was just good at everything, so

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: I was. I went to the Junior Olympics for the

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: two hundreds, so I was, I was fast. Um, it's

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: just I was able to run the mill too. I

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: was like really good at it. The way I got

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: into the mill actually is nobody wanted to run it,

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: and um, I don't know how familiar you are with track,

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: but like, uh, it's like a point system and uh,

71
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: each in each individual participant, they get enough points in

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: their events so that the team could eventually gain enough

73
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: points to win. And so we needed somebody to just

74
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: run the mill, participate in it in place to get

75
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: some points for the team so that we can, you know,

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: place good and attract me. Nobody, nobody wanted to run it.

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: So I volunteered and I was and I came in first,

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: so I kept having to run it. Oh wow, So

79
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: they figured it out. It's like, well, Marie's gonna go

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: out there and get his points. So that's great. Okay,

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. So Mary, and you know,

82
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: by the way, thanks for embarrassing me last week and

83
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the Alabama the pro thing. Yeah, you know, I'm gonna

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: have to go to therapy now because of the beating

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: you put on me. Yeah, therapy is a good thing,

86
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: and you put the beating on me. So, but I

87
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: appreciate your honesty about that. But I want to ask

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: you something about Alabama because I saw this the other

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: day about coach Saban and he and he he did

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: a deal where he takes the first year players to

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: his lake house. Did you do it? Were you part

92
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: of this thing where he takes you to his lake

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: house and he makes you right on the tube or

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: water ski or something like that. Did you guys do

95
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: that when you were there? Yeah? I mean he doesn't

96
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: make you do it though. Okay, I didn't do it.

97
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: I was on the boat, but I never did the

98
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: tube and you never did the tubing part of it though.

99
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you though, because this does

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: he try and sling the guys off and stuff like that,

101
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: kind of see how tough you are? No, no, no no,

102
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: it is. You're you're far off, man, Okay, you're far off. No,

103
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a camaraderie thing, Manum. He doesn't

104
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: make you do it. He doesn't try to like see

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: how okay, Yeah, it's just for fun. I got you.

106
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: It's Amari Cooper here with us. How how much of

107
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: a party routine or how necessary is for you every

108
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: weekend during the college football season to watch the Alabama game.

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Is that like can't miss TV for you? I wouldn't

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: say not now. It used to be when I first

111
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: when I first graduated, and maybe like the first three

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: years after because I knew those guys, like like those guys. Um.

113
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: You know, I practice with those guys and everything. Now

114
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't really like, I don't really I don't really

115
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: know the guys personally. I still watch when I have

116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity too. But you know, if I can't watch

117
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: UM on a Saturday, It's not like I'm racing to

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: my room to watch it anymore. UM. But I you know,

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: that's why I follow the the Alabama page on Twitter.

120
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: I still get the updates. I'm still concerned about UM,

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: the scores and everything like that. But UM, as far

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: as watching, I used to have to watch like my

123
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: my my rookie year, my second year, my third year,

124
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: because I knew I knew those guys. But UM, and

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I still want to watch. But UM, if I can't,

126
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: then I don't really force this, you know, Amari. People

127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: are pretending that it's a story that Eagles head coach

128
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni wore a T shirt that says beat Dallas.

129
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Like people are stunned that the coach of a team

130
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: is wanting to win his football game this weekend. What

131
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: is your take on anything related to bulletin board material

132
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: or I feel like people stretch so hard to pretend

133
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: that something is is trash talk. Yeah, I mean, it's

134
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: just it's just sensationalism. You know. People want a story,

135
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, um, and if they don't have one, they'll

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: create one. Okay, this week you do have the Eagles though,

137
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: when you when you sat down and watched, you know

138
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: you got a couple of veteran cornerbacks there. Yeah but

139
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, I don't want you to give us your

140
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: game plan or anything like that, but when you watch

141
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Stephen Nelson and Darius Slay, what kind of comes to

142
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: your mind of what the kind of corners you're going

143
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: to compete against this weekend? I mean, like you said,

144
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: they're veterans. Um. You know, the biggest thing that UM

145
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: separates like a an NFL cornerback from like a college

146
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: cornerback is just the experience. They're smarterest not like they're

147
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: more athletic. In fact, like the athleticism declines, but um,

148
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: just the fact that they know the game in and

149
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: now they've they're experienced, they've played in a lot of games,

150
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and so they're smart. You can't beat them with the

151
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: same moves all game stuff like that, you know, especially Slay,

152
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: he's a really solid corner. It's Amari Cooper with us

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and Amari. One of the things I think about when

154
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: we're coming up for this Eagles game is was it

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: your first time playing the Eagles with the Cowboys where

156
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: you kind of had to talk Dak into throwing the

157
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: ball over the top of the of the corners who

158
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: who were sitting on top of like your stop routes?

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Do I have that right? Yeah? It was the second

160
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: time playing the Eagles, though, I think because the first

161
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: time I played the Eagles is like my second or

162
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: third game as a Cowboy, and then we came and

163
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: we played them again home. That was the time. Yeah,

164
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: that was two in quick succession. How much do you

165
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: think Dak has has grown and how much or has

166
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: the coaching improved from that situation you were in twenty seventeen.

167
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Dak has definitely on a lot. He's definitely all He'll

168
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: tell you that he's definitely a better player now than

169
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: he was. Like I said, just experience. It's not like

170
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: he has a stronger arm or things like that. He

171
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: just he just knows a game better, UM, and he's

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: more experienced. UM. I would say, Amari, do you have

173
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: a preference on guys you play against? Like you mentioned

174
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: Darius Slay is a good player. Like I think we

175
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: all picture you as a guy that it's like, well,

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do the job and I'll beat whoever

177
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I have to beat. But if they had like seventeen

178
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: injuries and it's a rookie free agent, do you get

179
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: excited about, Oh, this guy's easy to torch or is

180
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: it all the same no matter who you're playing? And

181
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: I would be lying if I said it was all

182
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: the same. It's definitely like I would love I would

183
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: love to not go against the number one corner every

184
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: week just because it's easy. It's just easier. Like there's

185
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: there's a difference UM and guy and guys who are

186
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: number one corners versus guys who are UM who are not.

187
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: It's just like there's a difference between a number one

188
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: receiver and an umber two or number three receiver. Like

189
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: there's like there's a difference. We're all pros, but there's

190
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: a difference with me. It's just, um, you know, I

191
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: still feel like I could beat any corner, but the

192
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: number one corners are definitely more sticky. Um. You know,

193
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: there's less run after catch. You still get the separation,

194
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: but it's not as it's probably not as much separation,

195
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: you know. So I would love to go against the

196
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: number two and number three corner, kill them and get

197
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, get that runoft to catch and be able

198
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: to score after every time I catch the ball. So

199
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Gallup's banged up right now. But I wonder this if

200
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: let's say it's the Eagles and Darius slays their number

201
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: one corner. If a number one corner followed Cede Lamb

202
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: and not you would you be offended, excited or what?

203
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: I would be both? I would be both. It'll just like, um,

204
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like last year when we played

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Um, you know, slave was kind he was

206
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: following me. I mean, they play a lot of his

207
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: own but when they were playing like man um or

208
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: when they were playing zone and wanted him to follow me.

209
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: He was following me early in the game and then

210
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Gallup was going off and then they switched him and

211
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: put them on Gallup, And yeah, I was offended, but

212
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: I was excited at the same time. And then I

213
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: went off and then they didn't know what to do.

214
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: So that's that's the type of team you want to have, though,

215
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Like you want to have you need all those weapons

216
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: and those are usually the teams that go far. So yeah,

217
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: mar Okay. Somebody asked me that they knew that we

218
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: were interviewing you every week, and they and the fact

219
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: that how how you play chess? And this guy asked me, says,

220
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: is there a standard move you start the game with

221
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: or are there like a variety of moves that you

222
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: do to take a game a direction that you wanted

223
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: to go. Is there is there an opening that you

224
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: use all the time or do you have a bunch

225
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: of different openings? Yeah, I mean that would depend that

226
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: would depend on your experience level. Um, but it depends.

227
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: It depends on if you're white or black. First of all, Um,

228
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: if you're black, that means you have the second move

229
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: because white always moves first, and so if you're black,

230
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: then you would have um more of a repertoire because

231
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: it would all depend on what their first move is. Like,

232
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: if they move the uh, the kingpon, you would have

233
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a certain move. They moved to Queen pon, you would

234
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: have a certain move. And those are typically the two, um,

235
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: the two moves that people would make. Um. If I'm white, yeah,

236
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: I have I have a repertoire with the king pon

237
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and the Queen pon. I might move a night first,

238
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: It all depends, but most of the time I moved

239
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: the king pon first to e fo. Yeah in like

240
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: in like ten years or whatever. When whenever you're done playing,

241
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: does does chess after football interest you? Do you think

242
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: much about post playing career interests? Uh? Um, I don't.

243
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't really think so, Like, I don't really my goal.

244
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: I played because it's fun and I really like to play. Um.

245
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: I probably play in tournaments soon. I've been to tournaments,

246
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: but I've never played in them. I probably play in

247
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: a couple when I'm retired. But it's not really something

248
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: that really interests me that much to to play in

249
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: our My goal really for chess is to be a

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: raided like a two thousand on chess dot Com. That's

251
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: really it. Okay, all right, well we look we look

252
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: forward to to you continuing that journey. Final question for me,

253
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: do you eat before noon games in the NFL? Before

254
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: noon games, like if the game is at noon, Yeah, nah,

255
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't eat anything.

256
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: I get to the facility, um, and then I might

257
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: eat some you know how they have like bars, bananas

258
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: and little snacks. I might consume, you know, something like that,

259
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: But I don't really have an appetite, especially before for

260
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: noon games. I don't really have an appetite. Nah, I

261
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: can't eat in fact, all right to Mario. Last question

262
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: for me, as a man who has a destroyed right

263
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: knee and a ruined left shoulder, which body part when

264
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: it's hurting is the most annoying on a daily basis

265
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: out of the two out of no, out of anything,

266
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: because I know you've had what foot and ankle and whatever,

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: Just what body part when it is hurting is the

268
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: most annoying. Man, I actually think about that all the time.

269
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: Like you say it's one thing, and then you say

270
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: it's another, But then when you have something different than that,

271
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: you're like, well this is kind of bad too, because

272
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: I can't do this. So man, they all work together.

273
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: They're all connected, like you know, so it's tough to say.

274
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Really it's it's tough to say. Um. But if I

275
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: had to, if I had to say one, I would say, uh,

276
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: maybe something in the feet, because I had I've had

277
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: like a knee injury before and it was on the inside.

278
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I think it was what's the inside? Is it really

279
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: cl pcl one of the cls? Is it MCL or meniscus?

280
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: It's one of them? And I was able to like

281
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: it would hurt if I did a certain movement, but

282
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: it didn't really affect my game like that. Um, So

283
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: I would say I would say high ankle sprain. Though

284
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that's like, yeah, that was pretty bad. I've had that. Um,

285
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: but I've had a turf toe that sucks. I've had

286
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: plant of fashis that sucks. Like those foot injuries suck. Um,

287
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: But then those like the shoulders because now instead of

288
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: your feet hurting like you can't really catch the ball

289
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: properly like it. I mean, like I said, they're all connected.

290
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: But if I had to choose something, I would say

291
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain. Here feet doing good right now? Yeah?

292
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: My feet are good. That's good to hear, Amory. The

293
