1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Forts You've Got Male podcast presented by Manscape. 2 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm your host Lindsay Polaris, and I am joined by 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Robbie Golden, Tabor Pepper. Thank you guys so much for 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: joining us in studio today. Well, thanks for having us. 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. How does it feel to be 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: back in the sunny California weather? Well, it's not feel 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: like it's not gonna stand. I don't pay taxes for 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: the rain out here. That's um. What has been the 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: adjustment been, like, you know, just switching gears over to 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: Seattle week and getting excited and pumped and ready for 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: that home opener. Well, I think a lot of it 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: for us, especially as you know, twenty four hour roll, 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, soak it up, kind of learned from mistakes 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: and then um, after twenty four hours, come usually Monday, 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: after about two o'clock, come on to the next opponent. 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: So for us, we've already started on Seattle. We know 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: the mistakes we made last weekend that didn't help us 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: win the game. And I think our focus has actually 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: been awesome this week already, um, from installed to what 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: you kind of saw practice today. So the guys are 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: super locked in and right a role. Alright, So, as promised, 22 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: we're actually not going to talk a lot of football. 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: We want to hear about you guys, um and I 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: know a lot of people are familiar with you two 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: since you have you've been established on this team for 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 1: a while now, But I would love to hear about 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: your guys origin stories because you actually had regular people 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: jobs prior prior to being in the NFL. I'm gonna 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: let Pepper he has probably a better story than idea, 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: so I'll let him kind of take the lead on 31 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah. So I graduated from Michigan State in 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: and kind of had a slow start to get into 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. But when I got my first called to 34 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: play in a game, I was working at my mom's 35 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: business and was keeping track of the games on my phone. 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: And Sunday night, apparently there was an injury and I 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: got a call from the packers and was able to 38 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: get flown out the next morning. And I mean the 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: rest is kind of history, kind of bounced around a lot, 40 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I'm in the bay. Well, you know, 41 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of unique, like there's only thirty two positions 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: for kickers and punters, and snappers. So we're just talking 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: about it like if a guy gets cut or a 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: guy gets traded. Our positions are probably the easiest to 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: plug and play. So you'll see one of any of 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: one of the specialists get signed on a Saturday morning 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: to play Sunday. So. Um, it also in that same sense, 48 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: takes us longer to get in and stabilize ourselves. So 49 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: for me, um, when I left New England and I 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: got cut, and then when I got cut from Baltimore, 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: all of my rookie year, Um, you couldn't go to 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: an employer and be like, hey, I would love to 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: do this business job, but if the NFL calls, I'm 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: out right. So I was working construction for a buddy 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: back home, and um, you know when I got a 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: phone call from the Bears to come out, I actually 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: hung up on him three times. I thought it was 58 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: my friends, uh messing around with me, you know, working 59 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: at true nine to five as opposed to this kush 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: job in the National Football League, right. Um, So for us, 61 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of unique. Um. You know, 62 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I think our position specifically, you kind of cherish the 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: moments that you have because ours can be the quickest 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: to be gone, but it also takes you longer to 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: get in. Um So because you are sort of like 66 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned, these plug and play guys get the call 67 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: one night, you play the next day. How do you 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: establish chemistry with you know, probably two other specialists that 69 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: you haven't played with before. Well, I think chemistry just 70 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: naturally happens, you know, I think it starts with Tabor 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: frankly um and I hate to put him on the spot, 72 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: but you know, I think we always talk about in 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: our room how he makes our jobs easier because if 74 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: he gives the laces and or it does really good 75 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: with the location, it makes Mitch holding the ball easier. 76 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: It also makes my job kicking easier. From a punning perspective, 77 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: I think you know what's kind of unique is everyone 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: kind of throws a similar ball. It's just about how 79 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: catchable it is so um when it comes to me 80 00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: looking at it getting ready to kick it. It's just 81 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: a matter of how manufactured it can be that quick 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: for timing purposes. Um But I also think schematically, you know, 83 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: other than kind of your setting and punt punt protection, 84 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I think you know, that's the hardest thing to pick 85 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: up and It's kind of like he's like an alignment 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: and then he turns into a linebacker. It's kind of funny, 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: like everyone thinks he's more of a football player, so 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: we'll take it just kind of fluff him up a 89 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: little bit. Actually, you're a linebacker in a Titan. Well, 90 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: somebody tweeted at me because of my penalty last week 91 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: that I got bumped down, So I don't know what 92 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: to think anymore. I'm sorry, I make shirts. I do 93 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: have to say. I was walking out of our first 94 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: preseason game this year with my wife and UM through 95 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: the gate. A couple of people were yelling seven. My 96 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: wife's looking around like who the heck is mr? And 97 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: I kind of like hung my head down ahead to 98 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: explain the my Twitter Shenanigans tour. So I get it. 99 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, it's kind of cool. Now 100 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: you've got a little bit of a different record recognition 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: from another eggle. I guess what would you guys say, 102 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: is the misconception about specialists or yeah, well, I'm gonna 103 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: pivot this question. Actually, okay, I'm gonna pivot this because 104 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: Tabor is probably the most unique person I've ever been around. UM, 105 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: I think we should talk about your fashion sense. Can 106 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: we talk about anybody watches pep walk into a game, 107 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: there's always a little flash, a little flavair. Let's talk 108 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: about where you get. I think this last, let's talk 109 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: about the Pepper fashion. I would like to say. I 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: feel like some coaches get a little bit of a 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: headache when they start to learn my personality a little 112 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: bit because I don't typically fit the mold of a 113 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: long snapper. Those are guys who keep their head down, 114 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: don't talk a lot um. And if you've known me 115 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: for a week, you know that I don't really fit 116 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: in that mold. So I let my play do the talking. 117 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: And then I'm a big believer in look good, feel good, 118 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: feel good, play good, So I'm putting that way. So 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: do you have an aesthetic that you try to stick 120 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: with every game day or do we switch it up? 121 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: I like to switch it up, and I like to 122 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: be unpredictable, fall chic in Chicago the boots and in 123 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: our in our specialist room. But I think this week 124 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: will be a little more tame. Well, I feel like 125 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: you're going to suit with no socks this week. That's 126 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: just my call. If I had to guess a tabor 127 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: pepper outfit. It's going to be suit, no socks. We'll 128 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: have to see, we'll have to see no socks. I okay, 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: what is your game day aesthetic? Very dad asque I 130 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: am this year have been got I've been going a 131 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: little bit more like jeans, T shirt, bomber jacket with 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: some flashy shoes. Very outside of my starting trendy dad. 133 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: I would say trendy dad bybe okay, like a trendy 134 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: shirt guy. You know he's trying to stunt at the 135 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: pickup line at the elementary school. Yea, yeah, we'll play 136 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: some really good Okay. So actually this is probably a 137 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: really good place to start with some of these fan questions. 138 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: You guys are both dads. Um, okay, so Tanner out 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: of San Francisco. Now you can answer this as parents 140 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: or if you want to think of think back to 141 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: when you were kids. Here Ah, he wants to know 142 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: how do I convince my parents to get a dog? Well, 143 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: you know what, I've had a dog before, at a 144 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Golden Retriever. Um. She ended up getting cancer and we 145 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: had to put her down and it was the worst 146 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: thing ever. And my kids till this day they love 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Rookie and Zoe. They come in here from time to time. Um, 148 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: they've been begging us to get a dog, and it's 149 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: a very hard not because I do not want to 150 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: go through that experience again, especial kids. Um. But something 151 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: that's really cool to me that I've learned about PEPs 152 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: and some of this transition for him is not only 153 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: does he have an unbelievable cool dog, but he also 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: is a trainer. So again I'm gonna I'm gonna take 155 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: all of this to the table and I'm gonna have 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: him convince the world on why they get it. Hopefully 157 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: we can queue in a clip from my instagram of 158 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: me taking a bite on my bite sleeve. But yeah, 159 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: I train German shepherds. I have a German Shepherd. We 160 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: got him from the Czech Republic and he's super awesome. Um, 161 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of carryover from football over to 162 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: dog training. The people who trained me how to train dogs, 163 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: we they love me because I'm coachable. There's a lot 164 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: of people who think they know best with dogs and stuff, 165 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: but um, just keep your eyes and ears open and 166 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: it's it's super fun to learn about dog training. How 167 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: does one get into dog train.

I 170 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: do plan on competing hopeful. Is that okay? So so 171 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl trophy one day? Super Bowl trophy be the 172 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: same size. I think the party trophy get a ring 173 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: with that too? So um So, German shepherds are really 174 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: really smart. So are they easy to train or more 175 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: on the difficult side? Because they are super easy to train? 176 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: The working line one I could go, I can talk 177 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: for hours and I'm so curious. The type of German 178 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: Shepherd that I have is very easily trainable. And it's 179 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: super fun because at this point now after training my dog, 180 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: so I know what he's thinking before he's thinking it. 181 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: So it's super fun. Oh my gosh, I love that. Well, okay, 182 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: but you guys both actually sidestep this question. So get 183 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: a dog. What would be the winning argument here? Okay, 184 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: your kid, your kid really wants a dog? Like, what's 185 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna push you over the edge to say? Yes? Well, 186 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: here's what I will say, from from an actual having 187 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: a pet to teaching your kids like the responsibility of 188 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: taking care of something. Um, and I mean that not 189 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: from a bad place of like calling a dog something, 190 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: but like yeah, yeah, I got you, teaching them the 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: idea of like hey, you have to take them out, 192 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: you have to feed them, you got to make sure 193 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: there's yeah they have toys, Like are they in the 194 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: area they're supposed to be when they're done? So there 195 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: is a lot of accountability and responsibility that goes into 196 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: having a pet of any sort of pet. Um. But 197 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it just comes down to and 198 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I always say this because I don't think right now, 199 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: because I live half the year in San Francisco and 200 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: half the year in Chicago, that our life is conducive 201 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: to us giving what they need from a love perspective, 202 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: um that they so deserve. So if you have the 203 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: time and your kids are willing to do it, then 204 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's awesome for them to be 205 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: able to learn those traits at a young age. Um. 206 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: And also the love and condition that I think it 207 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: a pet gives people is pretty soothing as well. Cool. Um, Okay, 208 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: so she'll get a dog. Everybody, Okay, bring to my house, 209 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: don't bring to my house.

I'm really glad he said that, because I 233 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: am in that exact same camp. One example is we 234 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: were designing my daughter's nursery and she wanted to hang 235 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: the mirror and I'm like, so, I'm kind of any 236 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: room she walks in that day, I'm kind of floating 237 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: out of We get to it and the first screw 238 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: she screws in perfectly awesome, and then she goes, here, 239 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: you do it. I have to go grab something. She leaves. 240 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm drilling it in there and it goes through the 241 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: dry wall, lots of expletives. I'm like, babe, if you 242 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: could do it so well, why didn't you put this on. 243 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: It's very frustrating. I was like, let's know our strengths. 244 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: I go, I'm done hanging stuff. Baby. You you you 245 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: proved to me you've got it. You've got it. I'll 246 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: do the yardwork. I love yardwork inside the house. That's 247 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: so you hire, you hire the handyman the construction and 248 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: she did the second screw perfectly, So okay, okay, um, 249 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: well we'll just keep on with the theme of the 250 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: dad the husband vibes here. Okay. So we had a 251 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: couple of people that would love some wedding advice. Did 252 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: you guys help plan a wedding first of all? Or 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: as you know, here's what's interesting. Listen. Well, here's what 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: I will say. Like, I'm a very easy going guy, 255 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: like I don't really care about much. Whatever you want, 256 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: let's do it. That's fine. I feel like pet there's 257 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: certain things probably from my wedding that you would probably like. 258 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: I care about this and everything else is up to you. Music, 259 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: for sure, Now we just got done lifting to E 260 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: d M music from my music. Now that's what I 261 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: listened to it the most. But yeah, I think Pep 262 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: will probably have a little bit more. There are a 263 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: few things I was pretty particular about. Um, absolutely no 264 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: blue and brown color scheme for the wedding. Something about 265 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: that absolutely together or apart? Together together, we're going back 266 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: to fashion with Okay, I understand'st a color palette? Yeah, 267 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: and then, oh my god, you're right. The suit I 268 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: was adamant about. But the rest of it was fine. Really. 269 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: The only thing I nick which she knew was going 270 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: to get it was the one tent that we agreed 271 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: on was X amount of price, and it was a 272 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: beautiful tent. And she brought one to me and I 273 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: could tell by the way she approached me, and she 274 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: was like, could we do this one? It was double 275 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: the price of the other one, and the other one 276 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: was great no shot shot Okay, Well then maybe you guys, 277 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: maybe you'll have a strong opinion on this. So Axel 278 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,359 Speaker 1: from Hayward wants to know Shitty Spring for the chocolate 279 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: or the nacho cheese fountain because he can't give both 280 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: chocolate all day long. I think chocolate it's going to stay. 281 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: I think it's more like kind of tailgate. Keep the 282 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: kids away from it, though, get messy and you don't 283 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: want that on the wedding. So Axel, the chocolate fountain, 284 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: maybe a no child some yea, some strawberries, crispies, yes, okay. 285 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: And then Vivian from Milpita this would love a wedding 286 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: walkout song suggestion. Oh see, I can't pick that for 287 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: because here's why. I feel like walkout songs are all 288 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: meant towards whoever's personality, and it's meant for like them 289 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: to be personal. I mean, like, what was yours? You 290 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: know what? It's funny. So my kids and I were 291 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: we are um and my wife. I should say we 292 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: include her in there from time to time, but we're 293 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: trying to hit all thirty two parks baseball parks, so 294 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: obviously every batter has a walk up song. And my 295 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: wife's really into music. My kids are really into music. 296 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: They don't listen to a lot of country and I do. Um, 297 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: so I probably pick any country music song, any country. 298 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Although the Mets Diaz entrance is awesome with like the 299 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: bowl in the ring, I feel like that would be 300 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: awesome to do a kick off too, so that we 301 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: can maybe we can do that on Sunday. You know. Uh. 302 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: That reminded me. That was one thing that I asked 303 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: for was the walkout song to the reception, and we 304 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: did it to um They're Stretched My Hands Part one 305 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: by Kanye West and before his first verse in that song. 306 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: So it was it choreographed or it was Okay, we 307 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: had to walk on the little um dance floor at 308 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: the drop of the intro so and it worked out perfectly. 309 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: I like it, Okay. So I feel like specialists are 310 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: the guys that don't get as much love. Um so, well, no, 311 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate, I know, I know that you guys are 312 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: important here. Okay, so I think there's a lot of 313 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: questions just surrounding around your roles and like what happens 314 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: at practice, Um, nothing but conte I personally, I do 315 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: see them practicing just so everybody knows. Um, so Mac 316 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: from Grand Rapids wants to know when you're not kicking, 317 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: when you're not snapping, what are you doing at practice? 318 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: A lot of this, a lot of bantering, a lot 319 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: of talking about the game plan. Um. You know, there's 320 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: certain weeks that are different than others. So you know, 321 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: we're like pictures. There's only a certain amount of reps 322 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: that you're able to do throughout the day, so we 323 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: find ways to fill the other two hours of practice, um, 324 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: for the five minutes we have to actually do something. Um. 325 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: But it's kind of unique, like it's having coach Schneider 326 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: here and August and Harp and and the guys that 327 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: we have in our room. I think it makes it 328 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: um very fun all day to go to work, right 329 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: so uh, usually we're just chirping in one another, having 330 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: a good time. And then sometimes it's fun because you 331 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: get to know you know that that person a little 332 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: bit deeper because he is a new father, right, Um, 333 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: he's going through things that I went through nine years ago, right, 334 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: and um, it's kind of unique to be able to 335 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: hear those stories and and just kind of share those 336 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: moments together with each other. Is there ever too much 337 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: time together? Any specialist room you've ever been, and there 338 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: can be too much time? At what point do you 339 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: guys just note to sort of tap out from each other? 340 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: You just kind of walk away. It just organically happen 341 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: people's moods when they walk in the morning. Um. But 342 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: you know it's specialist rooms are like bullpens. Like you 343 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: literally are hanging out with each other all the time 344 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: you're going through the plays. And once you have the plays, 345 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: it comes down to all right, and my ex keen 346 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: that are not okay? And then we look at each 347 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: other and like, all right, well, what did you do 348 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: yesterday on your day off? Or you know, what are 349 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: you looking forward to most on the holidays? Or hey, 350 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: tell me something about the baby, um, since you know 351 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: the baby's here or there or whatever. So for me, 352 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: it's usually I'm telling stories about my kids. Um. And 353 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: for us, like we had a lot of time to 354 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: spend together because a couple of years ago when we 355 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: signed PEP, we're in Arizona and basically couldn't leave the hotel. 356 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: So it was kind of a cool bonding experience for 357 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: us to be able to get to know each other 358 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty well. And yeah, it's pretty neat to see him 359 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: as a father now too. Yeah, you guys have like 360 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: you kind of watching each other. Girl. I mean yeah, 361 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: because I got married July last year, so he he's 362 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: been there when I got married. Um, a lot of 363 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: stuff he was. I don't think you care if I 364 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: share this, but he came to my grandma's juneral this offseason, 365 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: so I was. That meant a lot to me and 366 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: my family. It just speaks to how close you guys are, right, Yeah, 367 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean listen, like this is a sport where you 368 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: spend more time probably together than you do a part, 369 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, And I probably spend more time with Tabor. 370 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: He's my work wife, you know what I mean, like truly, 371 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: Like you know, it's funny, like like I'm with him 372 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: more than I am probably my wife and kids. So um, 373 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: I think to be able to have those relationships and 374 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: build those relationships, it's cool because I didn't know him 375 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: ever at all, you know what I mean. And now 376 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: we're probably really close friends. You know, I look at 377 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: him as a brother and UM would treat him very 378 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: similar to a family member. And I think he would 379 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: do the same for me. And if not, you know, 380 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: all right, then I'm gonna stop this relationship right now. 381 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna do it anymore. I'm telling you 382 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. But my favorite days at practice 383 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: are when we're all telling kind of war stories from 384 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: the league. Um, so it was you know, when Schneider came. 385 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: It was cool because he has a ton of time 386 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: in the league and he's met a bunch of people, 387 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: lots of funny stories, lots of like what the heck, 388 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: like I can't believe this happened? Um, really really cool stuff. 389 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: And one more word from our sponsor.

And 406 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: then I get a kick out of it. Because my 407 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: great grandma was from Australia. She called me Taba my 408 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: whole life, and so now I hear it every day 409 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: from me screaming at me probably and now the video guys, 410 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: I'll call me Taba whenever they see me, and that 411 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: I always want to kick out of that. So perfect. 412 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: Um okay, So along those lines, do you guys have 413 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: a funny special Team's memory? Um, I don't know, something 414 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: maybe embarrassing fun Honestly, the trauma bonding and Arizona when 415 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: we were all stuck there was pretty intense, like just 416 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: being stuck you know, football was aren't enough during COVID 417 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: and then you just get shipped away from your family. Um, 418 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: we went through Christmas there without anybody. Um, and that 419 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: trip happened like almost overnight. I remember the city came 420 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: to the team. It was like, you guys, gotta get 421 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: out of here. So what's your favorite thing to do 422 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: as a group outside of dinner? Yeah, dinner. You know, again, 423 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: we don't really hang out a whole lot outside of football. Um. 424 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: And it's one it's because California traffics not that great. 425 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: It's been a lot better that coy But um, I 426 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: think again, you know when everyone gets home, we all 427 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: leave at different times. You know, we all have different 428 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: responsibilities outside the building. Um. So for us, as if 429 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: we're on the road, we try to go to dinner 430 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: every now and again. Um, we try to do something maybe, 431 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: I know, if it's in training camp and we go 432 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: for a week long, we'll try to go to sporting that. 433 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: But for the most part, um, it's just go home, 434 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: get your rest and come back and get ready to 435 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: work again. UM. Just last question for I have a 436 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: question because I mean, so I am a dad of 437 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: free boys that are ra eight seven soon to be 438 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: four whatever, and my kids are into Pokemon. One of 439 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: one of Pep's newest Now he's educating me a little bit. Um. 440 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: One of Pep's newest endeavors is into trading cards. You'll 441 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: see is unveiling on a lot of the social media, 442 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: probably a night before the game or Friday's. Um, but 443 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: tell people, because I know you're a big gamer, to 444 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: tell people about the Pokemon world. Oh my god, how 445 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: you got into it? Yeah? I mean as a kid, 446 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I think you did wear a Pokemon shirt to the 447 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: game in Minnesota. I did. I had to represent. Yeah. 448 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I was his first on boxing of the season, so 449 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I can't prep this any better. So yeah, I mean, 450 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in my age IM 451 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: twenty eight grew up with Pokemon, like when it first 452 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: came out. Um, you had movies, the games, the trading 453 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: card game him, um, and anybody who's been in the 454 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: trading card game scene, um knows. Sometimes at the tournaments 455 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: when you're actually playing the game instead of just collecting them, 456 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: there's all there's like older guys there that have adult 457 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: money who tried to beat up in the card game 458 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: on the kids. Back in my day, I used to 459 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: beat those guys up in the game. So I I 460 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: love Pokemon. I was obsessed with it um and then 461 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: obviously growing older, kind of straight away from it. But 462 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: during COVID there was a huge surge of trading cards 463 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: selling for a ton of money. Um. I think Jake 464 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: Paul turned one of his one of the rarest cards 465 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: in the game into a chain with diamonds all over it, 466 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: like so he kind of, you know, different people were 467 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: bringing it to the mainstream, and I just have always 468 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: loved Pokemon. So I kind of got back into it, 469 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: and it's a ton of fun, and I buy a 470 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: lot of cards, and I was a little concerned with 471 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: what I was gonna do with all the cards that 472 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: aren't worth much. But um, back home in the off 473 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: season and I think there's three families with a total 474 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: of six boys, and so I'm like, oh, I'm just 475 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 1: gonna get my graduated. I'm just getting the cards away, 476 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: and and they love it, and the parents love it 477 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: because they don't have to buy them more cards. Because 478 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Mr Taybor down the street get a hand amouse. Whenever 479 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: I need a babysitter, I'm bringing him over. I have 480 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: a binder because I think I will don't need to 481 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: say should I give those to some guy? I'll pay 482 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: you for them if I can look at you, they're 483 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: like there, it's a binder. Like interviews. We're a pretty 484 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 1: close in age. I definitely liketed Pokemon cards. I'll take 485 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: a look out and reserved.
