That was stick to my memory. I 66 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: mean I used to come in on the chill days. Really, 67 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: so the chill days that's when I. 68 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: Would come in right like, not two o'clock in the 69 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: morning too. 70 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, I've. 71 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: Never been to a McDonald's at two am. Laws, I 72 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: definitely have. 73 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: Okay, next one, you do you have your master's degree? Yes, okay, 74 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: and you also did two internships while you were at Clemson. Okay, 75 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: the question here, explain yourself what was your thesis to 76 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 4: get your masters? 77 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: My master's okay, So I got my first degree in 78 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: three years. And you know, everybody's playing when you first 79 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: get to college like I'm going to be thiry and out, 80 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: and then sometimes you get there you're like, dang, I'm 81 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: not going to be. So that was my plan. That's 82 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: why I had to set up like that to get 83 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: my degree in three years because you know my parents, 84 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: that's one thing they don't play about. You know, the 85 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: football stuff is cool, but you know you got to 86 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: get that. You got to get that paper and so 87 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: Once I got that, I was like, dang, I have 88 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: more school to do with that, exactly, more football to play. 89 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: So they shout out to my advisor, Catherine, you know, 90 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: to options. You know, I could either get another undergrad, 91 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: which would be quicker because like I already have all 92 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: the prerequisites and stuff out the way, or I could 93 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: just get a master's. And I was like, that's kind 94 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: of cool, right getting the masters. I might as well 95 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: get the masters. And so I went ahead and did that. 96 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: Took me like a year a year and a half 97 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: to complete, and I'm glad I did it. 98 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: Master Master's And. 99 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: What athletic leadership. 100 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: Fun? Did all masters have to do a thesis? I 101 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: clearly did not get one. 102 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm a master, that's it. 103 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 3: That's all I know. 104 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the last one we have, and Tarn you 105 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: take this one. 106 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: I took us on a little personally, mainly because of 107 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: your reasoning behind. 108 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: You guys came up. I don't know how people even 109 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: figured out the McDonald's things. So y'all have ust been 110 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: doing some deep research yourself. 111 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what we do. You should see us. 112 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: Like the couple hours before y'all. 113 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: Come into McDonald I even forgot I worked there. 114 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: We all had those random jobs. 115 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my FA And I didn't escaping as 116 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: well too, So I had two jobs I was working. 117 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: Oh you found that too, okay, yeah, yeah, my boy, 118 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: my boy Terry shouted, my boy Terry.

It's honest, it's efficient, it's efficient, 237 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: and you know, it saves time in the morning when 238 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: you're looking at your closet like, dang, what should I 239 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: wear it today to school? 240 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: When now y'all moved to Michigan. 241 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: It's correct. 242 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: I read something and you can tell me if this 243 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 4: is true or not. But when you moved to Michigan, 244 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 4: it was like the first time that you saw snow. 245 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: Yes, do you remember? 246 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: Definitely was it was the first time?

If it snows in Nigeria, 248 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: there's something that is completely wrong with this world. Honestly, 249 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: if it ever stows in Nigeria. And I don't think 250 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 3: it's snowed in England, I don't remember.

I liked football, I really did. I always 393 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: loved football, but when I would try to play it, 394 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: my mom wouldn't let me because I was I was 395 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: so small at the time, Like it was like I 396 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: was probably like soaking wet.

Those those boys are gonna hurt you. And 414 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: I'm just like, Mom, I'm okay. But you know, Mom's yeah, 415 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: she's worried about me. So she would let me play 416 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 3: basketball because that was safer in her eyes, and a 417 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: little just a little less just a little less contact. 418 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: And so you know, I did that all up until 419 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 3: my junior year.

Yeah, 473 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: I could not catch nothing out there.
