When 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: you were picked him, Roosevelt Colvin, a fellow Purdue alone, 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: was very excited because he said he's watched you. What 30 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: is your connection with rose an um Brothervelt, of course 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: is obviously is alumni Perdue. I have great contact with 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: a lot of guys aluments from Purdue, so having him 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: reach out it definitely means a lot. But I keep 34 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: very close contact with a lot of alumni. I've read 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: that you were a hitter. Do you particularly enjoy the 36 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: contact pad of the game. That's one aspect of the game, 37 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: so I definitely take pride in it. So along with that, 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: I definitely want to just try to get this playbook down. 39 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: But how welcome and had better span if you found 40 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: up with me in terms of offering advice, and I'll 41 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: be gonna get the play booked down.

So I was just trying 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: to just get it all in. I think I found 50 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: like it's been a world in trying to catch up 51 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: at the playbook, get settled to here, and you're going 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: to get adjust the life.

Do you know what 58 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: you might have been referencing? Uh? I mean, of course, 59 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: everybody's stories.
