1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We are thrilled

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: to sit down with safety Kyle Hamilton and Kyle, We're

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: obviously going to sing your praises a lot in this podcast,

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: so I'm going to start here.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: Okay, the interception on top of the head.

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: I know that your family can be a little ruthless

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: with the text messaging and whatnot after you didn't come

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: down with the interception against the Texans.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: What kind of texts were you getting after the game?

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: A lot of friends and family saying that I'm not

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: good or I can't catch and got my hands from

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: footlug or stuff like that.

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was kind of wild.

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 3: I mean, shout out to Trafford tipping the ball and

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: it kind of got tipped my way, and you know,

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: some things don't work out.

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: They always do.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: But I was looking for the ball. I'm like, where

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: is it in this? I saw it on film. It

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: was on my helmet for like two seconds. It's kind

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: of wild, But I mean it sucks because they got

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: three points out of that drive and that was only

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: three points I scored on the deeper game.

24
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 4: So you know, we live and we learned.

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: We won, so yeah, yeah, you know it all turned

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: out all right. I mean that play though, that's a

27
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: tough play to defend. It seemed like you guys had

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: that one like sniffed out.

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: Yeah jump, no, yeah, it was Uh, it's all about

30
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: eye discipline at the end of the day. And a

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: younger self might have ran out to the screen pass

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: and try to tackle the screen. But you know, we're

33
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: a man and man, so I have no assignment other

34
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: than being on my man and you know, being the

35
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: right place and the ball come to you sometimes.

36
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: Just got to catch the ones they throw.

37
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: You could, David ty Reid it I know, right, the

38
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: bubblegum on the helmet kind of thing, just stuck it

39
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: right there.

40
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 5: But nah, it's interesting to hear you say a younger self.

41
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 5: You're in your second year here, so it's not like

42
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 5: you're this ten year vet, you know, but you're it

43
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 5: seems like you've obviously come a long way in the

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: year and a half two years that you've been here.

45
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 5: Do you like, how much of a command of everything

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: that's happening in front of you do you feel like

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: you have? It just seems like you kind of know

48
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 5: what's coming, Like how much of a command of it all,

49
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 5: do you have.

50
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I good grasp of everything right now.

51
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: And like you said, as a younger player in this defense,

52
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of a fine line between you know,

53
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: asserting yourself and kind of playing your role at the

54
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: same time. You know, it's I'm not the huge vocal

55
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: leader in this and that and maybe further down the line,

56
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: but right now, I feel like my role is to

57
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: help guys get the right spots and help everybody get

58
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: a line and then do my job at the end

59
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: of the day.

60
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 5: As we go into this this game AFC Championship game,

61
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 5: I go back to when the Ravens drafted you, and

62
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 5: I look at it and I think at that point

63
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: when you fall to fourteen, which I think surprised a

64
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 5: lot of people, probably even in this building that you

65
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: were available for the sure to even take that, Basically

66
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 5: this is the ideal scenario for how these two years

67
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: have gone. Like you have basically turned into exactly the

68
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 5: player that I think the Ravens hoped you would become.

69
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 5: And now you're in this AFC Championship game where you're

70
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 5: going up against the Chiefs and Travis Kelcey and I'm

71
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: sure when they drafted you, there's probably a feeling of Okay,

72
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: you could end up you know, this guy could help

73
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: take away at Travis Kelcey in a big playoff game.

74
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 5: Is this like, is this basically has your career gone

75
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 5: the way up to this point? That is like, this

76
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: is exactly what you expected and what you hoped how

77
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: this would unfold?

78
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and no, I would say, you know, I got

79
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: had a little bumps in the road at the beginning,

80
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: and you know everybody has those, but as a first

81
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: rounder and all this and all that hearsay stuff, it's

82
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: a little more magnified. And you know, I feel like

83
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: I've done a good job and just credit to my

84
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: parents where they raised me, just deflecting all that and

85
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: staying in my head and knowing that I'm my biggest

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: credit at the end of the day. So to answer

87
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: your question, I feel like it has for the most part.

88
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: But I feel like I still have a bunch of

89
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: stuff to do and a bunch of stuff that I

90
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: can improve on. And you guys may see a game

91
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: and feel like I played exceptional game, and I'll watch

92
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: the film and nitpick little stuff, and I feel like

93
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: that's how I make myself get better.

94
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: All Pro Pro bowler in your second year. Did you

95
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: think you were going to be this good this soon?

96
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Uh?

97
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I have that confidence in myself

98
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: and not saying that those accolades are end all, be all,

99
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: but I mean it's pretty cool to be mentioned that group,

100
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: and you know, it's always have that under.

101
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: My belt something I can say.

102
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: But hopefully it's not the last and hopefully he finish

103
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: this out with the Super Bowl and that'll be the

104
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: icing on the cake.

105
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: One thing that has really stood out to me when

106
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: coaches and teammates talk about you, they talk about, uh,

107
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, how you'll rip somebody's face off on the field,

108
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: all that stuff, And like, I want to know where

109
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: that comes from because probably, as viewers can tell, you're

110
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: pretty laid back, like chill.

111
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Dude off the football field.

112
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: So how do you flip that switch and where does

113
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: that come from?

114
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: Well, it definitely doesn't come from my dad's side. I'll

115
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: say that.

116
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: You know, a family call your dad's not necessarily, but

117
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: it's a family full of hoopers, BASKETBA players and I'm

118
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: really the only guy who plays football for the most part,

119
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: and you know, it's it's been the same thing ever

120
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: since I was younger, and I think I'll attribute it

121
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: to my mom's you know, she's a feisty Korean woman

122
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 3: and she's always been tough on us and everything that

123
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: we do. And she ever since we started playing football,

124
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: me and my brother, she would always say that if

125
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: you're not bleeding or something's broken, I'm not coming out

126
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: into the field, like being one of those moms and

127
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: the little league that comes out and checks on their kids.

128
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: So you know, it was she was always tough on

129
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: us growing up. I think it gave us thick skin.

130
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: And you know, I feel like you kind of have

131
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: to flip somewhat of a switch in football to be

132
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: out there and do your job the way that needs

133
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: to be done. And that's the approach I take to

134
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: everything and saying I'm going to get up next play

135
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: and still be able to go out there and play.

136
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm imagining real quick.

137
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen those videos where like the high

138
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: school kids like they let the moms come and like

139
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: just right, just let them blow up their kid. I'm

140
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of imagining that now with you and your mom.

141
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: No, I would deck my mom. She came out there

142
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: and tried to do that. I wasn't going for that.

143
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: It's funny.

144
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: I remember when you did Marlin's podcast Study forty four.

145
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: That was the first time that I heard you say

146
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: that what you just said, which is basically give it

147
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: all I got right.

148
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like I apply that to a

149
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: lot of things, even in going back to Notre Dame,

150
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 3: like conditioning. You know, college conditioning can be tough some time,

151
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: and you know you always sit in the locker room

152
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: after and you're hurting, you're a little tired, but a

153
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: few hours later you feel fine and then back out

154
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: of the next day. And I feel like I take

155
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 3: that approach in the games too. You know, you you're

156
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: banged up after the game, you're sore, but then you

157
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: get home, you know, watch the film Chill.

158
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: Whatever.

159
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: Monday comes around, you're still a little sore Tuesday, feeling

160
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: better Wednesday. Then you get the Thursday and you're feeling really,

161
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: really good, ready to go. So I kind of tell

162
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: myself going to every game, you know it's gonna be physical,

163
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: and I want to be the hammer, not the nail,

164
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: and come out on the other side victorious. But you

165
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: know you're gonna be sore, and it's just part of

166
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: the game.

167
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: Do you talk trash on the field? Kid me?

168
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: Have you not seen it?

169
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 5: Yes?

170
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: And no.

171
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: I feel like unless i'm if I'm only talked to.

172
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: If I'm talking to, then I'll say something, but I

173
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: don't usually start it.

174
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: Do you really relish?

175
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Kind of like getting in the opponent's head that way,

176
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: like making sure they know you're coming one hundred miles

177
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: per hour you're gonna hit them, Like what does that

178
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: do for you?

179
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: And do you think does for them?

180
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a combination of all that. You know,

181
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: it makes me more confident. I feel like at the

182
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: end of the day, I want to make my teammates

183
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: kind of feel that energy. And you know, just saw

184
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: Kyle make a big hit or big play and then

185
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: somebody on our side the balls is okay, it's my turn, right,

186
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: and it's just kind of infectious like that. You know,

187
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: we have that energy out there on defense and ro

188
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: Kwan brings it from the start and then everybody kind

189
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: of follows that, and once all eleven guys are out

190
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: there running around like that, it's hard to score against.

191
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: It does feel like this defense has a different energy,

192
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: whether it be physicality, even like leading up to the game,

193
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Like when you're talking about the opponent and about the quarterback,

194
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: it seems like you never nobody wants to pay them

195
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: any compliments, you know, like it's like respect, but it's

196
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: like it's like the words taste disgusting when you're saying them.

197
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Like there's just a different edge even from last year,

198
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of the same players.

199
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: Why do you do you agree with that? And why

200
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: if so?

201
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like, yeah, that's true what you said.

202
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: You know, there's always respect there where we all know

203
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: what everybody in this league does on a daily basis,

204
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: what it takes to play at a high level at

205
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: this level, and there's a sense of respect. But at

206
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: the same time, you got to feel that you're the

207
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: better person out there. And if you don't believe that,

208
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: and I'm sure the offense we go against, teams we

209
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: go against believe the same thing. But if you don't

210
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: believe that, you're not selling yourself up for success when

211
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: you go out there. But in terms of the difference

212
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: in this year, I mean, winning solves a lot of problems,

213
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: So you know, it's it's easier to talk when you're winning.

214
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: And I feel like we've earned the right to do that.

215
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: Some guys go about it a different way. Guys like

216
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Roquon's non stop talking, you know. I mean he has

217
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: the right to do that. He's proved himself as one

218
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: of the better players in this league and you can't

219
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: really say anything to him because he goes out there

220
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: and does it every Sunday.

221
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you think that the way I see it,

222
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 5: Like the way that he talks like that and then

223
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 5: backs it up. There's always a fear of bullets and

224
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: more material of providing motivation or any of that stuff,

225
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: but he like does not care, like he relishes it.

226
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 5: And then to me, like I've seen that kind of

227
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: trickle throughout everybody else, whether it's press conferences or just

228
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: the way that you guys carry yourselves.

229
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: How does he set that tone?

230
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 5: And I guess why don't you care if you guys

231
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 5: are whatever body bullets and boar, BUTTI really or carrying

232
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: yourself away that others could view as a little too confident.

233
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's his thing. That that's what

234
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: gets him going, and it's what gets a lot of

235
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: the guys on the team going. I mean, at the

236
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: end of the day, you still got to play the

237
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: game and you can talk all you want, and that

238
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: goes for us as well. We can talk all we

239
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: want or say whatever we want, So got to go

240
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: out there and play and execute and beat the team

241
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: that comes into whatever game we're playing.

242
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: But that's how Roqwan does it.

243
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: Me personally, I try to just keep everything to myself,

244
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: you know, not just leave everything.

245
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: For the game.

246
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: You know, everybody says talk with your pads, and I

247
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: try to just do that. And that goes back to

248
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: me not really talking trash on the field unless I'm talking.

249
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 4: To and then I gotta stand my ground.

250
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: I'll have some bullets in the in the gun just

251
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: in case I got to talk trash for somebody. But yeah,

252
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: I know, I try to just talk with my pads

253
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: and leave everything out there and not really try to

254
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: distract myself.

255
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: Well, this is as Championship Week and the Kansas City

256
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: Chiefs are coming to town, and I mentioned Travis Kelcey earlier,

257
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 5: and you know, I know it's not just you against him,

258
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 5: but I feel like he'll be matched up against him

259
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 5: plenty of times on Sunday. What are your thoughts about

260
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: going up against him and what this matchup means for.

261
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: You, Yeah, I'm excited.

262
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: I was talking to my family and they're just like,

263
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: it's kind of wild to see all the people you've covered,

264
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: all the people you've gone against, played against quarterbacks, all

265
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: that stuff. And you know, because I was in high school.

266
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 3: I graduated in nineteen, so I feels like I was

267
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: just in high school. Now I'm playing at the highest level,

268
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: and it's kind of wild. I got to take a

269
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 3: step back and appreciate where I'm at. But going back

270
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: to Kelsey, I mean, he's I said it yesterday, but

271
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: he's earned every ounce of respect that he's gotten in

272
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,359
Speaker 3: this league. And it's a privilege and an awesome opportunity

273
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: to go up against a guy like that in a

274
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: game like this, and you know, it's it's a high

275
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: stakes game. I feel like everybody got to bring their endgame.

276
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get the best shout they have. They're

277
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: going to get the best shot we have.

278
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: So the mission has to be that we don't see

279
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: any Travis Kelsey hearts up the love tree boxes at

280
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: the goal this weekend.

281
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: Yes, and no, I mean, if we're doing our job,

282
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: that probably won't happen. But I mean we can't get

283
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: too caught up and stuff like that, right right, And.

284
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes obviously a lot of the talk surrounds him

285
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: this week. You know, he's been one of the best

286
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the game for a long time. Was he

287
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: somebody before you got to the NFL that you would

288
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: watch on TV and just be like, man, this guy

289
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: is like ridiculous, you know, and going against him for

290
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: the first time, just what are your thoughts about that?

291
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like you said, you know, he's been somewhat

292
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: dominant in this league for a long time, and props

293
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: to him, props to everybody in that organization for getting

294
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: them where they're at right now. But I feel like

295
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: we're the next man up, you know, And that's the

296
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: mentality that we have going to this game. And like

297
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: you said, growing up watching all these guys, all those reactions.

298
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: Like you said, I'm sure everybody around the world who's

299
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: watching them play has those same reactions. But you know,

300
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: it's our job stopping at the end of the day.

301
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: It can't be thinking about all this stuff. You know,

302
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna make good plays and we just got to

303
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: reset and refocus.

304
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: And came from out the end zone.

305
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that the defense and the Ravens as

306
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: a whole kind of come into this feeling almost like

307
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: the underdog, right, Like, we're the best team in the NFL.

308
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: In the regular season, I had the best record, smacking

309
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: everybody up, even good, really good teams. But you go

310
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: into against the team that's been in six straight AFC championships,

311
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: do you feel like it's a little bit Do you

312
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: take the underdog role going into that game or what?

313
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: Uh?

314
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say there's somewhat of a chip on

315
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: our shoulder, you know. And you know, we haven't necessarily

316
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: won in the playoffs in a good while. I mean,

317
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: I've only been here two years, but and they have,

318
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: They've won multiple Super Bowls all that stuff. So I mean,

319
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: I understand the narrative around the game. But at the

320
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 3: same time, there's been plenty of times where teams like

321
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: that louse going to a game like this, and you know,

322
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: I feel like, at the end of the day, like

323
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: I said, we got to play the game, and all

324
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 3: the talk around is gonna be the talk.

325
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: That's part of it.

326
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: And it's a one of two games on the weekend,

327
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: the final four teams, and there's a bunch of hype

328
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: around it, but we still got to go there and

329
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: focus no matter of the environment, who we're playing, you know,

330
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: just prepare and play the right.

331
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 5: Way when you when you are going up against these teams?

332
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 5: Does that serve as motivation? The point that Ryan just made,

333
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, did you do so the defending champs

334
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: and all that stuff, and you get asked about that,

335
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 5: like does that does that motivate you?

336
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: Do you not care?

337
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: How do you view like the narrative piece going into

338
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 5: a game like this?

339
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: I feel like I don't really care. Me personally, I

340
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 3: feel like I have the same approach to every single week,

341
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: no matter who we're playing, if it's Week one, four

342
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: week whatever it is now twenty something. But I feel

343
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: like that's kind of what I need to do personally

344
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: to keep myself just level headed, you know, go out

345
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: there and not really think about much, just just do.

346
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 3: And I feel like once I'm out there thinking that,

347
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: I kind of play a little slower going.

348
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: To a game.

349
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: Just tell myself, I know I can do what I

350
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: need to do, and just matter me going out there

351
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: and doing it.

352
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 5: When did you feel like, I mean, it happened last year,

353
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 5: then this year you just been playing excellent all season long.

354
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: But like, at what point as a rookie did you

355
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: feel like, all right, I get it, Like, I know

356
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: some early season struggles, but then like at the end

357
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 5: of the season you were playing at such a high level,

358
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: Like when did it click?

359
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like once you make your first big play,

360
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: maybe after the Patriots game, you know, I got to

361
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: punch out, and it's just one of those moments where

362
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: you just gotta, like I said, just go out there

363
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: and play.

364
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's the same game that I was playing when.

365
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: I was five years old, and it's just running and

366
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: hitting at the end of the day, in the simplest form.

367
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: I try to keep it as simple as possible.

368
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: If I'm not on the right spot on the play,

369
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: I can make up for it just running to the ball.

370
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: You know, you might get a punch out like like that.

371
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: You never know, And I feel like at that moment,

372
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: I know I can play at this level. I can

373
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: make plays, I can be effective consistently, and I feel

374
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: like I'm smart enough just be in the right spots

375
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: and put myself in good position.

376
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Did you envision this kind of role for yourself in

377
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, the kind of the Swiss Army and have

378
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: to do everything or did you figure I'm going to

379
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: be kind of a deeper safety, you know, like you've

380
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: nobody really does it the way you do it. You're

381
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of one on one when it comes to safeties.

382
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: Is this what you envisioned?

383
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so.

384
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: I feel like ever since college, I feel like I

385
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: could do things that other people couldn't do. And I

386
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: feel like I've I credit that to my basketball playing

387
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: growing up because I'm a bigger guy.

388
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: I haven't always been.

389
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: This big though, and you know, just footwork wise and

390
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: just mentality wise, I feel like I've I've allowed myself

391
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 3: to grow into what I am now, and it's taken

392
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: a process. You know, things will happen overnight. But I

393
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: feel like ever since college I was effective in a

394
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: lot of different spots and depending on who I went to,

395
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: what team drafted me, if I did need to just

396
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: play deep safety, then I would have done that to

397
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: the best of my abilities. But you know, Baltimore Ravens

398
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: deploy me in certain different areas and I feel like

399
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: allows me to go out there and make a lot

400
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: of plays.

401
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: You talk about, you know, being able to make up

402
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: for stuff by just running and hustling and all that stuff,

403
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: and you're smarts. One play that really stood out that

404
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: way was in San Francisco when you got buried in

405
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the turf by the office as line and it was penalty. Well,

406
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: first you got shot, blocked, buried, and then got up

407
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: and made the interception.

408
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: Can you take us through that play of what was

409
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: gotta go to your Yeah, I was at Nickel and

410
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: timed up a blitz. I knew that McCaffrey like to cut,

411
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: so I kind of try to sidestep him. And my

412
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: boy Banks, Aaron Banks, who plays guard for the Niners.

413
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: We played it Notre Dame together for two years. It

414
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: was kind of messed up that he did that, So

415
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: I guess Banks, I've felt all three hundred and thirty

416
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: pounds of them laying on top of me, and you

417
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: can kind of see like my head as like a

418
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: piece of grass in in my home, and I just

419
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: like get up, and I realized pretty so running, and

420
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: I knew that we had the flag already, so I'm like,

421
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: all right, he knows how this play is going to end.

422
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: But you know, life short runs of the ball and

423
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: Marlin made a great play tip the ball and I

424
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: was in the right spot.

425
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome.

426
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: It was cool when when you found out that you

427
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: were going to the Pro Bowl this year, but hopefully

428
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: you're not going to the Pro Bowl, but you made

429
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl and Eric told you. One of the

430
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: things you said in the video that we put out

431
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 5: was like, my dad's going to freak out. And you know,

432
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 5: I've had the chance to meet your dad back at

433
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 5: the draft and your family, and I've seen just how

434
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: much you know your success means to them. What was

435
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 5: it like when you called him and told him that

436
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: that you were a Pro bowler.

437
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of weird about stuff like that. I

438
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: feel like I just let my family find out on

439
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: their own, even though you can on Twitter all that stuff.

440
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes people even call and tell me, like stuff that's happening.

441
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: I used to do that with offers in high school.

442
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: I would just like tweet it out and my family

443
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 3: be like, oh, Notre Dame offered you. I'm like, oh,

444
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: yeah they did. But yeah, I mean, it's it's something

445
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: that's cool to me, but it's it's I'm sure it's

446
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: even better for them. They've raised me, my mom and

447
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: my dad and everybody around me. Brother, Uh, you know,

448
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: they've helped me get to this point. I want to

449
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: be here without them, and uh, their reaction is just

450
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: kind of like they're living vicariously through me.

451
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: You know, they're just jumping up and it's it's still

452
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 4: kind of.

453
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: Surreal for them because we grew up loving football, watching

454
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: football on the For me now to be on this

455
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: level and succeeding, which is a blessing that I don't

456
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: take for granted. I think it's like almost brings them

457
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: to tears kind of thing. So I'm really just glad

458
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: to say that I've succeeded in this area up until now.

459
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: For them, you know, they've helped me get here to

460
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: this point, and I appreciate it more so for them.

461
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: You talk about your Korean mom, and I know you're

462
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: very proud of your Korean heriage. What are the best

463
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: parts and the worst parts of having a Korean mom?

464
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: I'll sell her the best parts best parts is she's

465
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: gonna make you grow up early. You know, you become

466
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: more mature, do a lot of things in your own

467
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: make yourself independent. The food, great food, yeah, great food.

468
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: I think just being diverse is kind of a cool thing.

469
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: You know, you identify with a lot of different people

470
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: and be in a lot of different circles. She's gonna

471
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: be hard on us in school, which is good and

472
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: bad thing. I'll transition to bad. You know, we're gonna

473
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: have good grades and we're gonna be disciplined in that

474
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 3: area onto the bad stuff. You know, Punishments may be

475
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: a little harsh, or she took my phone away one

476
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: time for like three months, Like.

477
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, would you do to deserve that? You probably

478
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: deserve it, but that's another story for another day.

479
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: Some people lose it for a weekend, or we three

480
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: months for like three four months, but I was filmless

481
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: for then. Like I said, she's gonna be hard on us,

482
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: so there's no talking back, no, none of that. Very strict.

483
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: You can't play video games or anything for your homework.

484
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: In the summers, we would have to do like these workbooks,

485
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: so we would be doing math or everybody's at the

486
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: pool or something. But I mean, we're we're better for

487
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: that at the end of the day, you know, we're

488
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: My brother went to Ivy League school played basketball there,

489
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: and I went to Notre Dame, which is a decision

490
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: that I made because of my mom, and because of

491
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: the way that I just grew up, want to go

492
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: to a good academic school. And credit to her, honestly

493
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 3: for us being in the position that we're in. My

494
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: brother and I and were successful, and she had a

495
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: huge part in that.

496
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: So you mentioned you mentioned math. So I heard you

497
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: do this in the locker room, and I'm curious to

498
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: hear it again. How many digits of pie can you recite?

499
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't know the exact number, but it fluctuates, you know,

500
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: when I'm bored, I'll.

501
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: Just look at it in the members like time more.

502
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: But uh, do you.

503
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: Want to Yeah, we got to see it. Three point

504
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: one four one five nine two sixty five three five

505
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: eight nine seven nine three two three eight four six

506
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: two six four three three eight three two seven nine

507
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: five zero two a eight four one nine. And I

508
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 3: think it's three seven nine or something like that.

509
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: But we'll love to check your work after this.

510
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080

536
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 5: You know we uh, it's funny. After we wrapped up

537
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: we even we pulled up the Kyle checked it. Kyle,

538
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 5: he wanted to make sure that he.

539
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Immediately like hit one button on his farnament. It's got

540
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: all the digital pie you have to like google it.

541
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's it's a screen savers his background seriously,

542
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 5: so he studies that we need to work It was

543
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 5: spot on, It was accurate. He also said he's got

544
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: to work on it in the off season, you know,

545
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: to make sure he can get even more numbers.

546
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: So, well, we'll do city. He's going to get like

547
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: one hundred more of this.

548
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll do part two after the super Bowl.

549
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go exactly.

550
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, Kyle's awesome. I mean, just a great dude,

551
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: great player. It's been remarkable to watch his development in

552
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: such a short time, you know, become a special player

553
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: in this league.

554
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: And he really is.

555
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, we have a unicorn on the offensive side

556
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: of the ball with Lamar. He is a unicorn defensively,

557
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, and he's going to be a really good

558
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: player here for a really long time.

559
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 5: I really believe it, Like I think that, you know,

560
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 5: when John Harbaugh and Eric Dacassa are having conversations prior

561
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 5: to the draft, or on draft night, you know, how

562
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 5: would Kyle Hamilton fit, what could he become?

563
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: What's best case? Worst case?

564
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: Like the way this has played out really is best case.

565
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 5: I mean, this guy is an absolute difference maker for

566
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 5: your defense. He's a matchup nightmare. You move him all

567
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 5: over the field, He's an intimidating player, he's a great

568
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 5: locker room fit. And now you're in this AFC Championship

569
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 5: where a player I'm not saying the Ravens drafted him

570
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 5: to cover Travis Kelcey, but like when you had that conversation,

571
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: like I just feel like this game is a culmination

572
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: of Kyle Hamilton's rise over the last two years. Yeah,

573
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 5: and this is a matchup that is going to be

574
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: a real test for him. I like his ability in this.

575
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: I think he's going to fare really well. That's my expectation,

576
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 5: but it's going to be a tremendous test for him. Like,

577
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: similar to the narratives that exist for like a Mahomes

578
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 5: and Lamar, you could say the same thing about Kyle

579
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 5: and Kelsey. Kyle up and coming player, All Pro player. Well,

580
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 5: Travis Kelsey has been a multi time All Pro and

581
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: as a future Hall of Famer, so what do you got?

582
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Right? No, I think that that's gonna be the measuring

583
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: stick game in some ways for Kyle Hamilton totally.

584
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 5: And I'm just excited to see it because I think that.

585
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: He's going to measure up. Yeah, I do whatever it's

586
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: going to measure up.

587
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, He's just he's a great player, and I think

588
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 5: that I think honestly, we probably just going back to

589
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: the draft probably even undersold the difference he would make

590
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: on this defense. Yeah.

591
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: Well, even going back to the draft, it's not just

592
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: Kyle Tyer Linderbaum in the first round too, that that

593
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: picks worked out darn well.

594
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, those two players.

595
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: There was some criticism of the Ravens coming out of

596
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: that draft about, well, you spend two first round picks

597
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: on non premier positions. Safety, you know, a safety that

598
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: people didn't really know exactly where he's gonna fit and

599
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: had questions about is you know, is he too big

600
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: to play your traditional safety? Where's he go exactly? And

601
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: then a center right who people were saying it was

602
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: too small. So gosh, it's really worked out in spades

603
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: for the Ravens.

604
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, when you look at that draft and

605
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 5: you take an even a wider view of it, It

606
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: is pretty remarkable the way that that draft class has

607
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 5: kind of remade this team. And honestly, on Draft night,

608
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: it was kind of a weird feeling that year because

609
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: that was also when they traded Hollywood around Arizona and

610
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 5: Lamar was tweeting about it not didn't seem too happy

611
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: about it, and so at that time, you're kind of wondering,

612
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 5: what does this mean for Lamar?

613
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: What's going on here?

614
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 5: There were some of the criticism of the picks, and

615
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 5: you're just like, what, you know, there was just a

616
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: lot of questions, and now looking back, you know, all

617
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 5: this time later, almost two years, I think that that

618
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 5: night and that draft weekend was as a turning point

619
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: in a real positive way for this team because Kyle

620
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 5: and Tyler became corners on pieces and then you added

621
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 5: other players over the course of that weekend like an

622
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 5: Isaiah Likely, and it just was a It was a

623
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 5: massive draft for this team, and Kyle the top of

624
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 5: it is a huge reason why I thought.

625
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: It was interesting the way that he was talking about

626
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense and mentality and how when they go

627
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: against these great offenses and great quarterbacks like there's no

628
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: batting an eye, in part because of the success that

629
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: they've had all season. Right, it's different from last year

630
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: when Week two you come out and the Dolphins hang

631
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: what was it, how many points in the fourth quarter?

632
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: Too many?

633
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Too many points in the fourth quarter. Right, It's like

634
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: we can't really talk for a while after that. Right,

635
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: this year, the Ravens defense has just continually gotten better,

636
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: And you get the feeling, or I get the feeling

637
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: at least that this defense feels kind of invincible.

638
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: Right now.

639
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 5: I would say I agree with that, and I think

640
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 5: that success. You know, he made the point that like

641
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: winning cures a lot of things, or winning changes a

642
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 5: lot of things. However he phrased confidence, it breeds confidence.

643
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: And when you have gone through the stretch that this

644
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: defense has Jacksonville, San Francisco, Miami down the stretch here

645
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: and they've played their best and big moments, I think

646
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: that that just adds to that level of confidence. So

647
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: I think that they like and and it's this fine

648
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 5: line to walk of being like too overly confident, in

649
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 5: cocky and being like, oh, nothing can stop us, but

650
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 5: it also like not allowing that to diminish your work

651
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 5: ethic like and I just think that, Like, there's the

652
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: Ravens in my mind have like threaded that needle perfectly.

653
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: We're having They have this confidence, but they also aren't

654
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 5: allowing that to detract from their focus in any way.

655
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's got real. Two thousand Bullies of

656
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: Baltimore vibes to me. Yeah, watching Roquon watch Wired. If

657
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: you haven't done so, go back and watch Wired from

658
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: the Visional playoff game against the Texans where we had

659
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith. Mike, Yeah, ray Lewis vibes there. The way

660
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: that he just is an intimidator of the opponent and

661
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: the way that these guys hit, the physicality they play with,

662
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: the bravado, the confidence that they carry themselves with the

663
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: way they want to finish opponents in games and make

664
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: them tap out late in games. I mean they, like

665
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: Kyle said, if he makes if he makes that interception,

666
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: it's a shutout. Defensively, it's a shutout. I mean if

667
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: they go out and put the handcuffs on the Kansas

668
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: City Chiefs in this game and really hold them down defensively,

669
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: We're going to be sitting here having the conversation of

670
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: is it crazy to compare them to the two thousand defense.

671
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Is it crazy that that two thousand defense went out

672
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: to Oakland and held them to three points? I believe

673
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: it was the Oakland Raiders who had one of the

674
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: best offensive rich Gannon got knocked out at Goose belly

675
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: flopped on him, knock him out of the game, and

676
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: they just totally strapped them up. And I think I

677
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: think that there's a chance of that against the Chiefs.

678
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: I know that Pat Mahomes is good, and is Anny

679
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: Reid and Kelsey and all that. I think the Ravens

680
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: are going to measure up well.

681
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: I think I think that early in the game it's

682
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 5: it's significant. And then two points on Roquan and ray Lewis.

683
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson said this week that Roquan Smith basically brought

684
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: that ray Lewis energy back to this team, which was

685
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: a pretty telling quote and uh, you know, endorsement from

686
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: Lamar to Roquan. He also, as Roquan was walking off

687
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 5: podium and Lamar was walking on podium or vice versa,

688
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: he said to Lamar said to Roquan something that ray

689
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: Lewis said back on that two thousand season and on

690
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 5: that buoys of Baltimore documentary. But he said if they

691
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 5: don't score, they don't win. And I thought that that

692
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 5: is this offense has a ton of confidence in the defense,

693
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 5: and that's part of why this whole thing is working

694
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 5: together so well right now. Like the offense feels like, look,

695
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 5: if we start, they want to start fast, but if

696
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 5: we don't, the defense has back. The defense feels like,

697
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: all right, our offense can go up there and score

698
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: with anybody, and then we can just play our brand

699
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 5: of football and try to be physical and win the

700
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 5: point of attack. And so I think that all that,

701
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 5: like the blend there is a really really powerful thing

702
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 5: for this team.

703
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: And you talk about leadership.

704
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson on the offensive side of the ball, Roquan

705
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: Smith on the defensive side of the ball.

706
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: Those are two great leaders.

707
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: And then you have guys like Kyle Hamilton, who in

708
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: his own way is a great leader. You know, he

709
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: handles it a little bit different than some other guys,

710
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: but like definitely somebody that people look to and it's

711
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: like that guy does it the right way.

712
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And there's so many other examples of that.

713
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: But just from a I think Brokwon really sets the

714
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: tone on the defensive side, and Lamar on the offensive side,

715
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of no matter what side of the

716
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: ball you play on, look to those guys and the

717
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: Ravens are in really good hands with them. But they

718
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: just you go through this entire team and it's just

719
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: full of good players who are also playing the game

720
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: the right way and working the right way behind the scenes.

721
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally. So we're going to give you our final

722
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 5: preview coming up on a podcast that's gonna drop on

723
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: Saturday morning, So we'll give our full preview and all

724
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 5: of our predictions coming up on then coming up then

725
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 5: also head over to the Raven's Press Pass podcast feed.

726
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 5: A lot of press conferences this week, and in locker

727
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: room this week, I think there were more reporters than players.

728
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it was insane.

729
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: When the Herd came into the locker room, players were like,

730
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: we're coming in there.

731
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: Herd comes in.

732
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 5: And there was probably double the amount of media in

733
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: there compared to the number of players. And that's what

734
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: happens when you get to the stage of the game.

735
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of press conferences to check out

736
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 5: the press Pass podcast.

737
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, oh.

738
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: Oh, we can't forget this. Most importantly, most importantly, we

739
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 5: needed to do the all your different animals will sound farmhouse.

740
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: Here we go the top dog for a fourth time

741
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,120

Speaker 2: I mean, come on, how can you not give it
