We talked about it very briefly, 48 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 2: and then we moved right along sounds good night the road, 49 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: which is what you guys have to do right exactly. 50 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: There was a lot about the way some of the things, 51 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 2: especially that you and Cooper bb said after the game 52 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: of Detroit about not being sharp, not quite finishing that 53 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: kind of stuff. I thought you corrected that for the 54 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: most part last night. There were obviously some issues on 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, but there was a lot 56 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: of good stuff that you guys did. Were you Were 57 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: you happy with the way your group played? 58 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: I want to say happy. 59 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: I feel like we played better than we did last week, 60 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 4: but I still feel like we were not at our standard. 61 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: You know, I feel like that was on the ground 62 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 4: too much. There are a lot of yards that we 63 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: left on the table. And but that's what that's what 64 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: this coming week is for. That's what the charges are for, 65 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 4: to right the wrongs that we made last night and. 66 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 6: It doesn't make it easier when you have to face 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 6: a defense like Brian Flora's defense with the disguise and 68 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 6: things like that. 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 3: What kind of mental toll does. 70 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 6: It take having to recognize all those different looks for you, guys. 71 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: No, it's a lot. It's a lot. That's why communication 72 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: is very important. 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: We have to make sure that we communicate, We have 74 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 4: to make sure that we're all on the same page. 75 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 4: Really just have to continue to take advantage of all 76 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: the walk through time that we have, take advantage of 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: all the meeting time that we have as well. And 78 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 4: I feel like we're on the same page for the 79 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: most part. But they still brought some looks that were unscouted. 80 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: But it's like that every week in the NFL, the 81 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 4: EU opponent is always going to find something to do 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: that they haven't put on film before. 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: They do more than a lot of teams, don't they 84 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: Minnesota what they do with their fronts and their blitz 85 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: looks and there who's coming and who's not? 86 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 4: They do so they put they put five bigs out 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: there to create some conflict, and they also bring their 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: linebackers a lot and something that they're also not afraid 89 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: to do is getting. 90 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 5: The cover zero a lot. 91 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: So that's something that we should have handled a lot 92 00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: better as a team. 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: Is there anything in the SEC that looks like that 94 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: to prepare your or anybody that you play intersectionally in 95 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: college football that does that much? 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 5: Elis you? 97 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 4: Last year they had a couple of exotic blisses, nothing 98 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: too crazy. I remember vernder Built my freshman year had 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: some some Yeah, my freshman year. 100 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: It's a smart school. 101 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 4: All those smart linebackers. Georgia has had their fair share. 102 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: So it's just everybody in SC has their fair share 103 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: of the exotic blisses. But when you're getting at the 104 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: entire game, that's I feel like that's what's different. 105 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 6: Who would you compare that type of defense to that 106 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 6: you compared to who you guys have played already this season. 107 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 5: I would compare it to the proper to the Bears. 108 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 4: Really the Bears, as far as their scheme, like, they 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 4: had a really really good scheme. They knew who they were, 110 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 4: they knew where their strengths were, and they played to them. 111 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: So with whom now you're fourteen games in, So that's 112 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: that's why I said, you're not really a rookie with 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: whom do you feel a greater rivalry Georgia or the 114 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. Oh that didn't even take long. You didn't 115 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: have to think about that. Yeah, how quickly did they 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: replace Georgia in the rivalry department? 117 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: For as we're pulling up to link of financial seeing 118 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: the five year olds give us the middle finger. 119 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 5: On the bus. 120 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: So yeah, I feel like that's what that's what topped it. 121 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: That was a little extreme. That was your first game, 122 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: the first game ever. Yes, yeah, that was a little extreme. 123 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: Very you didn't get a lot of that in the SEC. 124 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 4: I know I got a lot of extreme, don't get 125 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 4: me wrong, But that was that was to another level. 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: Wait, wait till both teams are good and we go 127 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: up there late in the year and people egged the bush. 128 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to that. 129 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 6: Well, it'll happened, don't worry you wait, hold on, hold, 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 6: because I wasn't traveling, so I didn't know that happened. 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 3: Five year olds were putting the middle finger up. 132 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, definitely.

So like the more you do 174 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: those steps, the more comfortable you get, the more confident 175 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 4: you become with them. 176 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: So I feel like it's just it was only going 177 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 5: to take me, take me some time to gain that confidence. 178 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 2: I think everybody who got a chance to meet you 179 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: and talk to you in OTAs recognized right away that 180 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: you're serious about the game and had to have an 181 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: appreciation for your passion for it. And then it seemed 182 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: to me that when we visited in training camp, okay, 183 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: that had stepped up a little bit. You know, you've 184 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: been now through a spring and when the season started 185 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. Did you feel ready? And if you could 186 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: talk to Week one Tyler today, what do you think 187 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: he would say to you and what would you say 188 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: back to him. 189 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 4: I felt ready. I felt ready for Philadelphia. I definitely 190 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: felt ready. And that's just the preparation that I put 191 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: in and all the time and effort that my coaches 192 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: and teammates putting me as well. So I was definitely 193 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: felt ready going out there from Philadelphia. 194 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 5: But I felt like I'm a much better player now 195 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 5: than I was then. 196 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: So I would tell week one time to be like, hey, man, 197 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 4: keep going, trust the process, and then really just believe 198 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: me yourself. Remember you're that guy, You're that dude. Just 199 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 4: remember that and go show that player after to play 200 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: down after down? 201 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: How are you better? 202 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: I feel like, to be honest with you, it's just confidence, 203 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: Like it all just really it's all starting to click 204 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 4: for me. I feel like when I was off of 205 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 4: those couple games, I would go back watch that film 206 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 4: and see where I was falling short on summer reps 207 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 4: and understand, like, man, it's like this is the stuff 208 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 4: that I did in college really well at a high level. 209 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 4: I just have to get back to that and then 210 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: I just went back to watching some of my colleges 211 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 4: state and be like, look, you can do this at 212 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 4: a high level. You have to just put together and 213 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 4: believe that you do it now in the NFL. So 214 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: after that, after those three games, I was out. When 215 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 4: I came back, my confidence was there and allows me 216 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: to play much a lot faster and the game starts 217 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: to slow. 218 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 5: Down for me. 219 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: When you were at Alabama, you were in the National 220 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: Championship conversation every year. Yes, that's just part of the 221 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: nature of being at Alabama. How do you then process 222 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: knowing you've got three games to play, you better play 223 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: intensely or someone's gonna get hurt. But you're not playing 224 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: for anything other than pride right now? How do you 225 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: process that? 226 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 5: It's definitely tough. It's definitely tough. 227 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 4: You know, the goal is the goal every year and 228 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: to go out and win the Super Bowl, but in 229 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 4: the NFL like that, that's very hard to do because 230 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: that's everybody's goal. 231 00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 5: You know. 232 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 4: With these games that we have left, I'm just going 233 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: out making sure I'll put my best, the best version 234 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 4: of myself out there, and also just take advantage of 235 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: the opportunity that I have to grow and improve, you know, 236 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 4: because like I said, like I feel like I'm getting 237 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: better with every game, So these next three games are 238 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 4: just more opportunities for me to get better. And that's 239 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 4: what I'm That's how I'm looking at it. 240 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: Brad. 241 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 6: I heard that through the streets that Tyler Booker is 242 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 6: one of the most vocal leaders within that entire group. 243 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: Is that true? You lead the huddle on the offense 244 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: and defense. 245 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I'm one of the most vocal leaders. 246 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 4: I just speak up when when I feel like I 247 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 4: should and when it's needed. I feel like I'm most 248 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: vocal before the games. That's just how I get ready myself. 249 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 4: Like I'm a big self talker, so I talk to 250 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 4: myself and me being loud and talk to myself like 251 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: some of my teammates may feel off of that. And 252 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 4: then sometimes I'll speak in a huddle between the officers 253 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,359 Speaker 4: and defensive. 254 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 5: Line before the game. 255 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: And that's just something I'm very comfortable doing, like being 256 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 4: the tonester for the team, because that's what I was 257 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 4: at Alabama and now I norming to different realm. 258 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 5: I'm in a different environment, so. 259 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: Just having to learn my teammates learned as a group 260 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: of make sure that everything I do is really naturally, 261 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 4: nothing's fabricated. 262 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 6: So then what's been the message from you to your 263 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 6: teammates to make sure that, yeah, we are still playing 264 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 6: for pride, but we still got to go out there 265 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 6: and try to dominate. 266 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 4: You just said that we're playing for pride, you know, Like, 267 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: who are you at the end of the day, Like, 268 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: don't let the circumstance determine who you are, Like, don't 269 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 4: score determine who you are, Like, be the same player 270 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 4: regardless of what's going on. 271 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: And even though I'm going to run us over just 272 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: a little bit. Some people believe from one year to 273 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: a next, momentum can be almost a tangible thing, even 274 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: though the team, every team in the NFL turns over 275 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: twenty five percent almost every single year. But do you 276 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 2: believe in momentum carrying over? If you finish really strong 277 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: as a team, do you believe that can carry over 278 00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 2: into next year? 279 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 4: I definitely do. I definitely feel like my minimal carry over. 280 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 4: And that's why these next three games are so important. 281 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 4: Regardless of what happens, we just have to know that, like, 282 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 4: put a great product out there and see, like, look, guys, 283 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: Here's here's how we played at our best.

Is 494 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: this like do you like feel yourself kind of transitioning 495 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 2: into that person. And and when does that start to 496 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: happen when you get in the car, when you get 497 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: to the stadium. 498 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 4: On the on the way to the stadium, to be 499 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 4: honest with you, just really thinking about how the game 500 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 4: is going to go, thinking about some of the plays 501 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: that we're gonna run, thinking about openers, thinking about the 502 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 4: person I'm gonna have to go against, but most supportedly, 503 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 4: thinking about how I'm going to go perform and what 504 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 4: I need, what I need to do in order. 505 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 5: To go out I have a great performance. So it 506 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 5: really starts starts that day. 507 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 6: And what age did you start with this whole process? 508 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 4: If my process really started in high school as far 509 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 4: as like warming up before the game and the positive 510 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 4: self talking to the visualization in Connecticut at IMG, Yes, 511 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 4: so we at IMG we had a lot of mental 512 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 4: training classes and that's that's where we went into like 513 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 4: your pregame routine, how you mentally prepare for the game. 514 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 4: And in those classes I learned a lot about visualization, 515 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: like seeing yourself do what you want to do in 516 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 4: the game mentally, and also positive self talk and talking 517 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 4: to yourself and their studies on both that so that 518 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 4: they're very beneficial before you go out to battle. 519 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: So you can tell I'm really interested in this process. 520 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: When you when you walk out the hotel room or 521 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: your or your door at home to get in the 522 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 2: car around the bus, you know the process you're about 523 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: to begin. 524 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 5: Yes, is it conscious? 525 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 2: Then do you think, okay, it's time to get in 526 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: the mode or do you just shit and breathe and 527 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: it comes to you? And how does that?

But like during the day, you don't 538 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 4: want to. You don't want to be too hYP too 539 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 4: early because you're wasting energy. So like I just trying 540 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 4: to calm myself down by like playing games on my phone, 541 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 4: listening to certain kinds of music, just trying to relax 542 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 4: myself when it's too early before the game. 543 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 5: But before when it's go time, I'm ready to go. 544 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 3: Do you find yourself. 545 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 6: Do you find yourself after games having to bring yourself 546 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 6: back to reality at times? 547 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 5: Not necessarily. 548 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 4: I feel like when the game is over and I'm 549 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: talking to my teammates, that's when I'm back home. But 550 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 4: something I do like to do when I'm on the 551 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 4: way home. I don't really like talking too much after 552 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 4: the game. Yeah, so I like just sitting a car 553 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 4: listening music on that dry hole. Talk a little bit 554 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 4: here and there, but I just calming down. 555 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you are not happy in the moment with 556 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 2: the game that you've played, regardless of the results. I mean, 557 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: obviously the team's results the most important thing, but sometimes 558 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: you didn't play the way you wanted to play. Are 559 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 2: you still able to let it go? Or do you 560 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: go replay it all in your head if there were 561 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: things you didn't like. 562 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: I feel like I replayed every game in my head 563 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: if I played well, if I didn't play well, because 564 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 4: something that you learn while playing the game of football 565 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 4: is never as good as you think. It's never as 566 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 4: bad as you think. So I'm just really anxious to 567 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 4: get home and watch the film. And I'm the kind 568 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 4: of person like I can't sleep after. 569 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 2: Games, so you go home that night and watch it. Yes, 570 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: last night you got home at one o'clock in the morning. Yeah, 571 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: and watch the game again. Yes, how did you do 572 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: on the replay? Definitely a lot of room for improvement? 573 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 3: Have you always? Have you always been like a really 574 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: big film nut? 575 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: Yes, I have been, But in that I've learned, like 576 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 4: how I have to watch film because there was a 577 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 4: point in time. 578 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 5: Where I felt like I watched too much film and I. 579 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 4: Was guessing rather than anticipating and rather than just playing faster, 580 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: so like it was more prolycist through and now this 581 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 4: is rather than what film is supposed to be, really 582 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 4: just giving you an edge against their opponent. 583 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna follow this up and learn some stuff 584 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: from Tyler Booker, the Cowboys outstanding right Guard, our guest 585 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: the s evening on the Midller like Cowboys Hour.

I don't mean for this 604 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 2: year necessarily, but you you don't expect yourself not to 605 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: be in the prob voted to the Pro Bowl within 606 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: pretty soon, right. 607 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 5: Oh of course. Like I'm a competitor. 608 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: I feel like I'm always gonna see myself as one 609 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 4: of the best football players in the league, like regardless 610 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 4: what was going on. But that's just how my confidence 611 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 4: has to be set up as an athlete. 612 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 5: That's where I thrive. Like my confidence is just being 613 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 5: through the roof. 614 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 4: But what I'm what I meant by that is like 615 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 4: that wasn't my main focus. My main focus is getting 616 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 4: better week by. 617 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: Week, and the rest takes care of itself. Exactly the 618 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 2: part about dominating. You know Larry Allen, who may may 619 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 2: have been the best offensive lineman in the history of 620 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 2: the game. I think so I do too, but let 621 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: alone this franchise. You know Larry, who was god rust 622 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: his soul, who was not that much of a conversationalist. 623 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: But Larry's stated goal was to just break the guy 624 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 2: in front of him. He didn't want to just dominate him. 625 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: He wanted him to like quit and go home. He 626 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 2: and and that is such an interesting way to approach 627 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: something as disciplined as playing in the offensive line. So 628 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: did you ever play defense? 629 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 4: I did play defensive line growing up. I played defensive 630 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 4: line all the way up into my sophomore year of 631 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 4: high school when I went to IMG Academy. And it's 632 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 4: funny that you bring up that old school style of football. 633 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 4: So funny story about me. I grew up watching The 634 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 4: Football Life, and I've just always been obsessed with the 635 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 4: game of football. So I remember The Football Life about 636 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 4: Deacon Jones came out and he was known for his 637 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 4: famous head slash. So I was out there playing peak 638 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 4: week football and head slapping eight year olds and the referees. 639 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 5: Had to tell me to stop. But that's just how 640 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 5: much of it the game that I've always been. 641 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: Do you wish you had played in the era where 642 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 2: you could head slap or they could try to head 643 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: slap you, yes, And so what do you what what 644 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 2: do you imagine that you would do to someone who 645 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: tried to head slap you. 646 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 5: Well, people do it now, they just don't call the penalty. 647 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 5: Oh they do, Yeah, they do it a lot. People 648 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 5: do it a lot. They they they. 649 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 4: Called a club, so they're they're connecting with their forum 650 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 4: rather than instead of exactly. But if they're if they're 651 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 4: high enough to try and club and you slap you 652 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 4: with your hand, that means their chest is exposed. I 653 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 4: just punched them in the chest and uh, blocking to 654 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 4: that throws a touchdown. 655 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 2: You probably haven't had a chance to meet Randy White. 656 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: Randy was He was out there last night because they 657 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: honored the Dirty Dozen from fifty years ago and Randy 658 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 2: was the centerpiece of that number one pick Hall of 659 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 2: Famer and and Randy got very much into Marshall. He 660 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: still is into martial arts, and so he could as 661 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: a defensive tackle. I mean he wanted to find your 662 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 2: hands with his hands and and just take them away. 663 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 2: Do you ever do anything like that? 664 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 4: So it's funny that you bring that up.

I didn't. 674 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 4: So the way I'll explain the way it relates to 675 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 4: football is just always like having everything be a fluid motion. 676 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 4: So something that we talk about is like when the 677 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 4: defensive line gets your hand on you want to swipe 678 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 4: the swipe his hand off and almost slide your hand 679 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 4: up his arm to his chest, all on one flewid motion, 680 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 4: just like no waste of movement pretty much. And he 681 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 4: he teaches defensive linement a lot, but him teaching defensive 682 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 4: linement also knows some of. 683 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 5: The weak points in their game. 684 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 4: So he came to Alabama two years in the row 685 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 4: to come teach me and some of my teammates some 686 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 4: of their stuff. 687 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 2: Chromegra is an Israeli martial art and. 688 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 5: It's serious, right, very serious. 689 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't mess with somebody does that stuff. So 690 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: what what put you off being a defensive lineman where 691 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: you could use your hands. 692 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 4: Nothing put me off. I wasn't put off of being 693 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 4: the defensive line. I was putting on to be an 694 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 4: office alignment.

I want to 867 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,839 Speaker 4: call him because I know that she represents him as well. 868 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 5: And I spoke to him and we. 869 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 4: Just bonded over our experience at Bama, and then we 870 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 4: talked about Nicole and how she is an agent. 871 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 5: She she's been great. 872 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 4: So just having that relationship and having him here now, 873 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 4: it's been awesome and something that's very beneficial that he 874 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 4: and I do will talk about like my matchup for 875 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 4: the week, and he'll tell me, like his perspective as 876 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 4: a defensive lineman and he'll tell me things that he'll 877 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 4: see he'll see from me on the field, like, hey, 878 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 4: like you don't really get at this, make sure you 879 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,959 Speaker 4: switch it up with that, you know. So just having 880 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 4: him has been very beneficially been a big blessing in 881 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 4: the locker room. 882 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 2: I was going to ask you when you were talking 883 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 2: about how you watch tape, and you know, you have 884 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 2: to kind of learned to watch it because you were 885 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 2: overwatching and you have to learn what's important. And I'm 886 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 2: wondering how much time you spend on the scheme of 887 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 2: the team you're playing, and how much time you spend 888 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,439 Speaker 2: on the one or two guys you are most likely 889 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 2: to be spending most of your time dancing with that day. 890 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 4: So if I were breaking down the percentage, it's probably 891 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 4: like seventy percent scheme, thirty percent the guys that I'm 892 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 4: going against, because you never know, like some teams, like 893 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 4: they rotate a lot, some teams that guys staying for 894 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 4: a majority of the game, So it really depends on 895 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 4: the week first and foremost. But usually like just if 896 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 4: I know their scheme, if I know what they're being coached, 897 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 4: you start to see a lot of similarities between all 898 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 4: the defensive vomit. And when I'm looking at the scheme, 899 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 4: you're also watching the guy that you're going against. 900 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 2: Okay, let's take some questions from our audience right here. 901 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 8: Hey, Tyler, Larry McKinney, Hey, I'd like to know what 902 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 8: passions do you have that's not football or family related 903 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 8: during season? 904 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,320 Speaker 2: And what difference will there be off season? 905 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 4: So, mys, some of my passions that I have, they 906 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 4: kind of coincide in in off season. I like doing 907 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 4: lego sets, you know, something that really caused me down, 908 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 4: keeps me calling, something that keeps me occupied, and I 909 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 4: love I love a good lego set. I could sit 910 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 4: and do one for hours, like and I have before. 911 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 4: I like setting timers. So I think I built a 912 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,359 Speaker 4: rocket ship and I didn't. I did not get up, 913 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 4: Like once I start, I had to finish it right 914 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 4: and then and there, like in one city, Like. 915 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 2: What's the longest you've ever spent working on one lego? 916 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 5: It was it was a rocket ship. It was eight hours. 917 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 5: Eight yeah, eight hours. Yeah, I don't. I don't like 918 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 5: getting up once I get started, I just got to 919 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 5: keep going. 920 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 2: We have done like one of those big cities or 921 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:39,479 Speaker 2: anything like that. 922 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,760 Speaker 5: Not yet, but I'm looking forward to this off season. 923 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 3: Do you have pictures of them? 924 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 5: I do there are? I think they might be on 925 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 5: my Instagram highlights. 926 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 9: Sure, yeah, something Tony from Dallas and uh, it might 927 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 9: be me, but I know that there seemed to be 928 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 9: a lot of a lot more runs to the right 929 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,800 Speaker 9: towards you were in Terrence Steel. If there's something special 930 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 9: by the chemistry YouTube developed and and can you speak 931 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 9: on what it is? And as Terrence still helped you 932 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 9: since you've been. 933 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 4: Here, Yeah, Tony, Terrence has helped me so much. Since 934 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 4: my first day here, he's been He's been a helping hand, 935 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 4: especially during OTA's when I didn't know all the plays 936 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 4: and I didn't know all the checks that Dak will make. 937 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 4: I'll just look up to my right so I and 938 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 4: be like, hey, what that means? Terrence will help me out. 939 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 4: And occasionally when it still does, he'll he'll still help 940 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 4: me out. So having playing next to a vest somebody 941 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 4: that's been doing that for such a long time at 942 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 4: such a high. 943 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 5: Level has been very beneficial. 944 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 4: And like you you just hit on, our chemistry has 945 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 4: built so much throughout the season. 946 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,319 Speaker 2: And with whom do you communicate more with? Terrence or 947 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 2: with Cooper baby. 948 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 4: Terrence, because we have to communicate the car from down 949 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 4: the line. So I get the call from Cooper, I'll 950 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 4: probably just tell Cooper like, Okay, you know what I'm 951 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 4: saying Terrence, like, Hey, we're going to this number, We're 952 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 4: going to that number. We just have like communication is huge. 953 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 4: You have to communicate everything do to the line. You 954 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 4: never want to assume that. So I think it's heard. 955 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 6: I want to kind of piggyback off of his question 956 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 6: talking about the chemistry with this offensive line. It's kind 957 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 6: of like when you think of the defensive line and 958 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 6: their past rushing, they have to have a certain type 959 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 6: of chemistry to rush as one. What's the chemistry been 960 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 6: like for you guys at how has it kind of 961 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 6: grown over the last what fifteen weeks. 962 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:18,280 Speaker 5: Of the season. 963 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 4: I feel like our chemistry, chemistry has grown a lot 964 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 4: over this season. You can definitely see it within our 965 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 4: double teams. Like I feel like once we get where 966 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 4: we when when teams present fronts for us to get 967 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 4: really good double teams, whether it be on zone or 968 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 4: gap schemes, that's where we have a lot of success 969 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 4: and that's why you start to see teams run a 970 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 4: lot of exotic schemes against us, run a lot of 971 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 4: blissed to get us off of those double teams. So 972 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 4: that's just in the testament to how well we are 973 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 4: doing those double teams, and it's a testament to our chemistry. 974 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,320 Speaker 5: Is the offensive line. 975 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 2: Let's let's go back to when you're not playing football, 976 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 2: because you just talked about legos. But just before we 977 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 2: went on the air, you mentioned you're a big monopoly guy. 978 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 5: I'm a huge monopoly guy. 979 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 2: That's when did you start playing Monopoly? 980 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:09,799 Speaker 4: I started playing Monopoly at IMG Academy, and that was 981 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 4: something that helped us past the time because we couldn't 982 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 4: leave the campus whenever we wanted, like there was a curfew. 983 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 4: It was a boarding school, so that's how we killed time. 984 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 4: And those Monopoly games would go on for hours, especially 985 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,399 Speaker 4: like on a weekend, we might be out there playing 986 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 4: Monopoly until three, four o'clock in the morning, but like 987 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 4: the same game, like they would get very very competitive. 988 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 4: So that's why I started playing Monopoly.
