Speaker 1: the University of Missouri. So I have a great story

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: about the University of Missouri. We played out there. I

41
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: went to Bowling Green. Okay, all right, this is way back.

42
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: This when were you born? Oh one? Yeah, great, fantasticus

43
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Like six years before you were even born. I was

44
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: doing this. So we went out there and we upset Missouri. Okay, okay,

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: beg win for Bowling Green. Big moment. I wasn't on

46
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: that trip. The following year, we went back out there

47
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: and you guys had a guy by the name of

48
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Kolby Jones. He was a quarterback. They were a top

49
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: five team in the country. I'm the sideline reporter. Your

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: fans threw oranges at me. Because the Orange Bowl was

51
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: the national championship game. We got covered in oranges. Our

52
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: coach pulled the team off the field. They had to

53
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: make an announcement to stop throwing oranges at us. Where

54
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: you guys were gonna have to forfeit? Wow, not kidding,

55
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: it was I smelled like orange. I never got a

56
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: chance to shower after the game. We were on a

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: plane home. It was one hundred degrees. But it was

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: a fantastic stadium. Like fans sitting on the grass rock him,

59
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: uh huh. Yeah. It was a pretty fantastic little stadium.

60
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: So welcome to Cleveland. Sorry, not about me, It's about him.

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah Maguire joins us here on the show. What's it

62
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: been like since you walked into the Cross Country Mortgage campus?

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: Honestly, like I said, it's been a blessing. That guy

64
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: gave the glory to God for me to be a

65
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: part of this organization, especially with a lot of rich

66
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: history at this organization, you know, being the Cleveland Browns

67
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: and all the great players that have been through this organization,

68
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: you know, for me to be a part of that

69
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: and now start my journey to stamp my name in

70
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: this organization's truly a blessing.

71
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: Was there a moment? Was there a moment where you

72
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: just kind of stopped and took it all in and said,

73
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm here. I can't believe this is happening.

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: Honestly, for me, it was when I was able to

75
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: see my locker and seeing the you know, the players

76
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: I'm next to and the players that are a cross

77
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: from me. It's like, man, I've been looking at these

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: players for years and now you know I'm their locker

79
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: made or you know, their teammate now, and you know

80
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to learn from them and grows as a player,

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: gros as a person.

82
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm just all excited. So growing up,

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: you end up going to Missouri from Oklahoma? Yes, sir?

84
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: What made you go to the University of Missouri? Missouri?

85
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: So for me, I wasn't necessarily heavy recruit out of

86
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: high school, So Missouri's my only part of five offer,

87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: So I feel like God made.

88
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: It easy for my decision. That's pretty good, absolutely, sir.

89
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: You gained playing time right away as a freshman, Sir,

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: work your way up up senior year. You were all

91
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: SEC in some publications, which is pretty great considering the

92
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: talent level. For sure in the SEC. Is there a

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: moment that you will always remember about your time at Missouri?

94
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: Is there is there a stand up moti? Is the

95
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: your favorite moment?

96
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: Favorite moment? M I feel like that's pretty hard to

97
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: pick from, you know. For me, honestly, just being in

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: the locker room with my teammates and spending time with them,

99
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: and being in the indoor with them doing extra work

100
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: or whether it's you know, after practice or workouts or whatnot,

101
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: and just going and hanging out with each other at

102
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: you know, someone's apartment or someone's door room, you know,

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. So for us at you know,

104
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: at uh at Universe of Missouri, defensive line was a

105
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: pretty tight knit group. So for us, but like I said,

106
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: we we know family, that was our big model thing

107
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: or d Lion's is what we call, you know, our

108
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: fraternity per se. So honestly, just just being around those

109
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: guys and being in a locker room and you know,

110
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: having an impact on as many people as I can

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: in that building for sure.

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: All right, So leadership is a big part of who

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: you are. That's what it sounds like. You were voted captain,

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: you're senior, you're at Missouri. What does it take to

115
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: be a good leader in your opinion, honestly, just doing

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the right things.

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: You know, first and foremost, you can't necessarily try to

118
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: lead someone and tell them do something where you're not

119
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: doing it. So you have to have that accountability for

120
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: yourself as a player, as a person, as a teammate

121
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: to do those right things. Secondly, obviously, like I said,

122
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: just making an impact and you know, have an impact

123
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: on people as a person. You have to you know,

124
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: have that gravitational pull you know, for people to want

125
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: to follow you and obviously, you know, making plays on

126
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: the field definitely kind of put you in that limelight.

127
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: But it's just it's more about It's more than just

128
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: making plays, you know. It's like I said, and having

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: those one on one interactions with people in the locker room,

130
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, at Missoo college wise, whether it's a walk on,

131
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: whether it's a scholarship player, whether it's the janitor, whether

132
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: it's the training staff. Just building those relationships to where

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: you know, we're all on the same page and don't

134
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: one accord.

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, not too shabby at all. So how

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: do you as a leader? You've been a leader at Missoo,

137
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: how do you come in here when you're the new guy?

138
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: For sure? Like, how do you lead? You have to

139
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: change your leadership style at all.

140
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: It's not even necessarily that it's just starts all over again, honestly,

141
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: like I said, pretty much like being a freshman again

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: to where you like I said, you're just doing the

143
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: right things and you're putting your head down, you're working

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: continuously picking you know, picking the brains of the veterans,

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: like I said, building those relationships with everyone in the building. So,

146
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: like I said, even Miss Katie.

147
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Uh, in the building.

148
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm building a great relationship with her in terms of,

149
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: like I said, just being new and being present. I'm

150
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: spending that extra time to accomplish the things that I

151
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: want to accomplish, but also.

152
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: Like said, helping this team win a lot of football games.

153
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: What has the process been since that final game in

154
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: a Missouri uniform to now? Because it tends to be

155
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: a whirlwind and it takes a lot. You know, a

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: lot of the rookies have said, like, you really don't

157
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: get a chance. The veterans, i should say, have told

158
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: us you don't really get a chance to catch your

159
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: breath until after your rookie season, when you actually have

160
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: an off season. There is there has not been an

161
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: off season of assuming What has that been like since

162
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: your last day in the MISSOI uniform?

163
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: Honestly, you know, picking backing off of what the veterans said,

164
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: it's true thus far.

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: Like I said, you.

166
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: Know, you finish your senior season or you know, whatever

167
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: year you decide to declare for the NFL draft, and

168
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: now you have to pick an agent. Now you have

169
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: to pick what place you want to train at. Now

170
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: you have to improve this, improve that. Now you're talking

171
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: Scouts or you know, whoever it may be calling you

172
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: or whatnot. And a lot of people may be in

173
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: your ear, but you still have to block out all

174
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: that noise and focus on what's ahead of you.

175
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: You know, keep the main thing. The main thing is

176
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: what my dad likes to say.

177
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: So I said, just having the mindset to stay grounded,

178
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: stay focused, keep the right people around you, and you

179
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: know everything will become success. Tight family absolutely, how many

180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: siblings five brothers, youngest.

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: I am the middle. Oh, you're right in the middle,

182
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: in the middle. What was that like growing up so one?

183
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like so I have two older stepbrothers and

184
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: three younger biological brothers, and like I said, going to

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: visit my family, you know, with my stepbrothers, you know,

186
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: kind of being the little brother that got picked on,

187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: but definitely helped me kind of grow up just a

188
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: little bit a little tag get a little bit tougher

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: growing up for sure, you know, I said, also being

190
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: a role model for my for my younger brothers. In

191
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: terms of like I said, this, how you want to

192
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: conduct yourself carry yourself growing up through whether it's your

193
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: teenage years, college years, and now being a professional athlete.

194
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: You don't be more of an adult rather than anything.

195
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: It's just continue to be that role model because they're

196
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 2: always looking for.

197
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Sure, God, now do the younger to play football? So

198
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: my two younger fraternal twin brothers, the youngest, they will

199
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: play sports of it. I'm pretty sure they're in soccer

200
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, my distaurant.

201
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: Take time to develop, make sure their brains developed, No,

202
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: I get that.

203
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Find what they actually enjoy for sure. Okay, all right,

204
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah I went through the whole soccer socre with my kids.

205
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I was quite pleased when soccer ended and we can

206
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: move on to something else. No disrespect to soccer, but yeah,

207
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm disrespecting soccer in terms of who you wanted to

208
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: get to know here. What's it been like since you've

209
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: been in the building working with Jim Schwartz, with Ben Bloom,

210
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: who is one of our favorites, and just the defense

211
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: as a whole. What's it been like as you get

212
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: ready Now you're gonna meet a lot of the veterans

213
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: this week, for sure, you know when OTA starting working

214
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: through mini camp, But have you gotten a chance to

215
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: get to know a lot of those guys or the

216
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: coaches yet?

217
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: Primarily the coaches, Like I said, spending time with coach

218
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Bloom and you know coach Thomas in a defensive line room.

219
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: And I really haven't haven't had as many conversations with

220
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Coach Schwartz, but I believe those will happen down the road.

221
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: Obviously with a lot of time on our hands, you know,

222
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: investing time in that building to win football games. And

223
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: like I said, just again his no. The personnel and

224
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: like I said, everyone's in there is very genuine and

225
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: they care about you as a person. So it's a

226
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: great culture in there, and that does nothing but make

227
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: a player for more comfortable in terms of environment to

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: be successful.

229
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: Your former teammate Jordane Elliott, have you got a chance

230
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: to talk with him since you got drafted?

231
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: Finally, I actually have not gotten a chance to talk

232
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: with him yet, but I definitely know when he gets here.

233
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to stide if I want to jump on

234
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: and give him big hug or you know, keep it

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: cool and cordial. But you know, those are one of

236
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: the players that I looked up to, you know, when

237
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: I was a freshman. You know, it was his last

238
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: year in Missoo going out. Like I said, he was

239
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: always a guy that did the right things and did

240
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: extra and you know, always had a mental sharp focus

241
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: about himself as a person. So he carried himself as

242
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: a pro before you actually got to the pros.

243
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: What is your goal here before the team breaks, you know,

244
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: for the for a quick little summer break on June eighth,

245
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, what's your goal here for the next month.

246
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: Honestly, just improve as a player, improve my fundamentals and

247
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: my technique. Get to know that playbook really well. Pick

248
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: the brains of the veterans, like I said, you know,

249
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: for in those you know, for those guys, those are

250
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: my mentors. And like I said, for me to be

251
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: the player that I want to be, I have to

252
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: you know, kind of get under their wing or whatnot.

253
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's been literally being a freshman again.

254
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 2: And like I said, picking their brain and figuring out,

255
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: you know what, what is your routine and how you

256
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: take care of your body. You know, what do you eat,

257
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: how do you study film, how do you do work outside?

258
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: What is the right time, When is the right time

259
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: to rest your body so you don't get burnt out?

260
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: Just those different things honestly.

261
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: All right, if if you have it, do you believe

262
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: in a cheat day or a cheat meal day. I

263
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: got a bad I got a bad suite too. Oh yeah,

264
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: what's the go to? A lot of sweets? I mean,

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: is there? Is there a favorite? Is there a pie?

266
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Is there a cookies?

267
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: My grammy sweet potato pie is the best dessert in

268
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: the world for me. That's just my personal opinion, but

269
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: kind of a fact.

270
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Also you.

271
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: Name it fruit, snacks, cookies, what I like? I said,

272
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: But even on the cheat day, I have to limit myself.

273
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Everything's got to be in moderation. Got absolutely is there

274
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: if you can only eat one food for the rest

275
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: of your life, what would you eat?

276
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: Mmm? Oh that's a great question, honestly. Is it like

277
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: a certain type of food.

278
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Or it can be you know me, I love pizza, Okay,

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: I can eat pizza any anytime, any day. I can.

280
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: I can see that answer. I respect that answer.

281
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: Man.

282
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: For me, it will have to be some type of

283
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: variation of barbecue, okay, sure, all right, ribs, chicken, pull pork.

284
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a close life land all right and at all? Okay,

285
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: baked beans of course, with a brisket in it. Got

286
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: to biscuit. They do a fantastic in the cafe, a

287
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: little brisket, big bean. I'm excited for it. Yeah, should be.

288
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: They do a fantastic job. If you weren't playing football,

289
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: what sport would you want to play? Well? Sport?

290
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Honestly, baseball seems like I mean, I went to it,

291
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, I know that, you know, baseball is

292
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: a very hard sport and very technical and whatnot. But

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, in my time in MISSOI went

294
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: to a Cardinals game in a Royals game, and outfielders

295
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: were just relaxing for mostaid games.

296
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: I said, man, that must be nice. Not a bad gig,

297
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: not a bad gig at all. I had to figure

298
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: out how to hit the ninety five mile hours.

299
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean for sure, I mean, you know, that's that's

300
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: the part.

301
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: But in the outfield, yeah, they're.

302
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: Relaxing for most of the games. That seemed like a

303
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: pretty nice out to do.

304
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: All right, okay, all right? What do you want Browns

305
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: fans to know about you? That? Maybe they don't? You know,

306
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: what do you want Browns fans to know about Isaiah McGuire.

307
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a man of guy, like I said, you know,

308
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: that's my foundation as a person too. I'm here to

309
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: really contribute and become a great player for this organization.

310
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: Truthfully, I think you will and we wish you all

311
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,120
