00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: For Did they want you to be? Did your parents

31
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: want you to be something other than a football player

32
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,520

Speaker 3: something with my brain.

36
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: But you know I figured figured a way to circumvent that.

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: So at what age did you have to convince your

38
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Nigerian family that you wanted to play football? Freshman yr

39
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,399

Speaker 1: I was on JV and VARCI at the same time,

45
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: and I didn't tell my parents I was going to practice.

00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: So I'm just coming home late after school. Like, yeah,

Speaker 2: Uh, I'm not gonna lie I was. I was a

62
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: Raiders fan. My dad was an Oaklan Raiders fan growing up.

63
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: That makes sense.

64
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: I was born in the Bay Area, actually born in Samonteo. So, uh,

65
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: shout out to the Bay, shout out to the Bay

66
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: Oakland Raiders.

67
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: And who's your favorite player? Who's your favorite player on

68
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders back then?

69
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: Honestly, back then, two favorite players Jones Drew not on

70
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: the Raiders but just in general, and Reggie Bush especially

71
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: when he was on the Dolphins.

72
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: That was that was my guy.

73
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: That's what that makes me feel very very old as

74
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I came up in the Reggie Bush era a couple

75
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: of years after, but I was in the Reggie Bush era.

76
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: Now circling back to you as a choir boy, Yeah,

77
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I just heard that you performed at Carnegie Hall. I

78
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: might need to hear a little I might need to

79
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: hear a little something just for the people to get

80
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: so they know that you got a little voice back there.

81
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: Well so it was a quite I'm a base so

83
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: you know, I got a low, deep voice, so yeah,

84
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: it's smooth. This is my sophomore and junior year of

85
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: high school.

86
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: Came out here.

87
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: That was my first time coming out to New York

88
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: and sang performed in Carnegie Hall and it was beautiful atmosphere.

89
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: That was incredible. So was it did you open for somebody?

90
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Like what was the Carnegie Hall experience?

91
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: Like it was us?

92
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: It was some you know bands that played, some concert bands,

93
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: and then it was like three or four choirs that

94
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: had an opportunity to perform. So it was about a

95
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: two hour performance and we were probably up there for

96
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: like fifteen twenty minutes.

97
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,640

00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: it was good. It wasn't it wasn't too political, it

107
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: wasn't too sports. It was more just about you know,

108
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: networking and inspiring each other.

109
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: That's fire. What are you into outside of the game?

110
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: Is that? Like when you see like if Bobby wasn't

111
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: playing football taking heads off on Sundays, what will Bobby

112
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: be doing outside of the game.

113
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: M Uh.

114
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: I think it's tough because I got a lot of interests.

115
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: You know, I had a car company in Miami, so

116
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: I liked the entrepreneurial stuff. I studied like a finance

117
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: degree at Stanford, so I enjoy finance. I really just

118
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: enjoyed networking and you know, meeting cool people and learning. Honestly,

119
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: that's so well. New York is a great place for you. Then,

00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Colts in the third round. Ye, Pat McAfee made the

Speaker 1: pick and talk to me about like your first welcome

128
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to NFL moment as a as a rookie.

129
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was fortunate enough. I played.

130
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: I played a good bit my rookie year. I had

131
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: great guys in front of me, Anthony Walker, Darius Leonard

132
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: that you know, really showed me how to play the game,

133
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: how to prepare like a pro. But my rookie year,

134
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: I remember playing the Steelers. I'm I'm playing outside linebacker

135
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm checking my B gap. You know,

136
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: when they run stretch the other way, your B gap travels.

137
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: But you know, I got a keen respect for offensive

138
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: lineman after that play because you know they're they're running

139
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: the ball the right, so I'm tracking it, look at

140
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: the running back and the tackle comes and nearly takes

141
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: my head out. It looks like I'm surfing trying to

142
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: keep my balance. But I was like, okay, before I

143
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: line up, I'm gonna I'm gonna look at these offensive

144
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 3: linemen and see who's looking at me before before I

145
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: line up, so I'm not, you know, getting getting teed

146
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: up to get knocked out.

147
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's funny how the Steelers always have a

148
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: story with some I mean mine, I mean, I got

149
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: a couple of Steeler stories, but my biggest one is

150
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: playing against them and I'm running a route. We're kind

151
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: of on the fringe of the red zone. We're about

152
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: to score, and I'm running the I'm kind of opening

153
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: the backside of the end zone and I'm like waving

154
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: eli down and I think, at least I thought I

155
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: was open, and then Ryan Clark hit me so hard

156
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I literally couldn't breathe for like thirty five minutes, and

157
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, this one, this one I'm gonna

158
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: remember for a long time. But that Steelers culture and

159
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: what they do similar to what we do here is

160
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: well respected and it's something that definitely stretches throughout the

161
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: fabric of the NFL. Now, I want to talk about

162
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: your most important decision that you made was signing as

163
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: a free agent with the New York Giants at twenty

164
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: twenty three. Tell me about your first like welcome to

165
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: New York moment, because obviously playing for other teams across

166
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the NFL is one thing, but New York just has

167
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: a different fabric for sure.

168
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: You know, I think I think it's been a tale

169
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: two stories since I've been here, you know, coming in

170
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: first year, being this big signing, Like you see the

171
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: highs and the lows are lows. So you know, you

172
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: come in and you ball out. People are calling you,

173
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: you know, Pro Bowl snub saying you're the best linebacker ever,

174
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: Like they're going to really hype you up. And then

175
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: if you have a couple of games where you don't

176
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: play as well or people expect you to play better,

177
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna hear from it for sure. So

178
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: I think, as being you know, an ultimate competitor, this

179
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: is the environment you want to be in because it's

180
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: it's old gladiator style. It's like when the crowd's holding

181
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: the thumb up or the thumb down, like there's no

182
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: in between. So it really, you know, prepares you to

183
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: be your best.

184
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit more about that, I think because

185
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: I always you know, obviously playing here, and I always

186
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: talk to other people about the type of thick skin

187
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: and the type of personality and character. You got to

188
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: have to understand that, right, the highs are the highs

189
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: and the lows are the lows. But you have to

190
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: operate kind of in the middle at all times and

191
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: always good bad are indifferent. You gotta stay keen and

192
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: you got to stay even keeled so that you're ready

193
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: for when the highs come and also prepare for when

194
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: the lows come. Just talk about what type of personality

195
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: you got to have to play in this city.

196
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta have a growth mindset. And like I

197
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: said earlier, I love to learn, and I think, you know,

198
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: staying grounded and learning is what's really going to help you,

199
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, stop chasing the highs and the lows, because

200
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: you can always get better. You know, people talk about

201
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: one percent better. There's always one technique that you can

202
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: hone down more, one offensive or defensive scheme you can

203
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: learn more. So if you stay, you know, connected to that.

204
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: Really everything else is a distraction.

205
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Now, obviously being in the New York New

206
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Jersey area, I'm a big foodie guy. I love restaurants.

207
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm always eating, I'm always doing something outside to get

208
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the lay of the land, of what's going on out here.

209
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: And obviously growing up in this area, I've seen the

210
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: transformation of this area in different places to east. So

211
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: give me a couple of places you like to visit

212
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: where there's restaurants or just places that are outside, places

00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160

Speaker 1: I remember there also, that's just a cool place to

232
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: just chill vibe. People won't run up on you and

233
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: take pictures and like do the whole thing because it's

234
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: not legal there take any photos in there. So that's

235
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: that's the vibe. Okay. So let's switch up to game day.

236
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about kind of your game day preparation. Any

237
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: any superstitions, any routines. Are you like a strict do

238
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,480

239
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: vibe on game day?

240
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: If anything?

241
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: I'm just strict on time. So if game starts at one,

242
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: I'm in the locker room by eight forty five to nine.

243
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: Just make sure I give myself enough time. I don't

244
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: want to be rushed at all on game day. You know,

245
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: I want to have time to fold on my clothes,

246
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: you know, put the left sock on the left foot,

247
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: right sock on the right foot, have my pants all

248
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: or you go to my locker, it's you know, pristine

249
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: because you know, I feel that's just like my my

250
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: physical space is going to reflect my mental space. So uh,

251
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: take the time to organize everything, get my stretching, get

252
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: my v see different you know practitioners. Uh, and then

253

254
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: really take in the crowd, visualize the places I'm gonna make,

255
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: and just get grounded.

256
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,200

258
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: from a music perspective? Who you're listening to? What's your

259

Speaker 2: I'm a little baby. Yeah, I'm just turning up a

277
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: little bit.

278
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, fire, is there any significance? See, I didn't

279
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: so I wasn't undrafted free agent, right, So I wore

280
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: number three in the preseason and you know, I'm just rocking.

281
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: That was my college number. So I was always excited.

282
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm in three. This is dope, like, and back then

283
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: we didn't have the option. We couldn't keep the single

284
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: digit numbers like you guys can now. But when I

285
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: made the team, I remember coming in like, oh, I

286
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: get to wear three in the regular season, like this

287
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: is fire. I get to my locker and I'm like eighty.

288
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: I'm like what am I What do I tight end?

289
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: Like?

290
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I beggar's gonna be choosers.

291
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: I was undrapped. I'm like, I'm gonna take this eighty

292
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make the best of it. Fast forward.

293
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: It's a number that'sonymous obviously with Jeremy Shockey myself, you know,

294
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: guys that done really big things with this organization. Does

295
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: your number have any meaning behind it, something you had

296
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: since you were a freshman in high school? Or is

297
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: it just something that kind of came. Yeah, just kind

298
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: of came, you know, when I was working with the Colts.

299
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think I got a choice between two numbers,

300
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: maybe fifty four and fifty eight, and just decided fifty eight.

301
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I'm loving fifty eight. Stayed with

302
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: my whole NFL career. In college, I was twenty, playing

303
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: the same time as Bryce Love. He was, you know,

304
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: born almost a Heisman player, so I switched to forty.

305
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: So for me, I never.

306
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Really had like too much of a deep attachment to

307
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: the numbers.

308
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: Balling out, just rocking. You hear him, he don't need

309
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: no attachment. Give him a helmet and a jersey. Gonna

310
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: make it work, man, I schrap it up. So you

311
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: seem like a pretty chill guy. This doesn't sound like,

312
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: at least to me, unless there's a gear that you

313
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: changed when you on the field that you don't talk

314
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: too much trash, do you talk trash from time to time,

315
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: or has anyone kind of came up to you and

316
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: was chirping a little bit and it has had and

317
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: has had that kind of back and forth throughout the

318
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: course of a game. Take us into trenches a little bit.

319
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: I want to I want to hear what's going on

320
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: during the game.

321
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of both. You know, I like

322
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: to talk trash. Hypes It hypes myself up. And you

323
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: know sometimes when you're kicking somebody's ass and you're talking trash,

324
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: you know they'll back down. So you know there's a

325
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: psychological warfare of it too. But you know, some guys

326
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: like the chirp. But at the end of the day,

327
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 3: best way to shut somebody up who's chirping is, you know,

328
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: hit him in the mouth. So after a while, you know,

329
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: you play a physical game, you know they're gonna start,

330
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: you know, dapping you up on the way a nice

331
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: hit Brodet's.

332
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: Checkmate.

333
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: So I love that.

334
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just try to stay in that mindset.

335
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk hobbies a little bit. What are you

336
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: What are your favorite like off the field that well,

337
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to talk about because I

338
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of work with the Boys and Girls Club,

339
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and I know you do too. Boys and Girls Club kid,

340
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: I grew up going there. My mom would drop me off.

341
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean I would not only was she dropped me

342
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: off in the summers, uh while she went to work

343
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: and I'd be there all day. But after school I

344
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: will jump on the bus. There was a bus I

345
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: came through my school that I would miss sometimes I

346
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: have to be running after it, but that's near the

347
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: end of there. But there were a bus to take

348
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: me to Boys and Girls Club. So I literally spent

349
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: my formative years that after school program was a big

350
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: deal for me. That's where not only I got my

351
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: work done and got to understand what time management was,

352
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: but I also got to play basketball. I got to

353
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: play sports. I learned, I learned ping pong, I learned

354
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: pool like that's where I got the hone and all

355
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: my skills. Talk to me about the work you do

356
