<v Speaker 4>You know, just throughout my career you kind of learn

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 4>how to take care of your body and what your

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 4>body really needs to make it through the season. And

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 4>you know that really the older I got, the wiser

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 4>I got about that, And you know, I feel good

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 4>going into year seven.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 1>What's your number one takeaway for where you're at at

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>this point in your career to like to feel your best?

0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Really?

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.319
<v Speaker 4>First, the uh chiropractor, you know, That's that's my main thing,

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 4>just keeping my body in line.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 2>As much as possible.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, all the other stuff kind of comes in

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 4>the hand, weightlifting massages, But when I know my body

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 4>needs a full reset.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I go to the cor right, get.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 3>A little adjustment.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>It's always a little scary, though.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't scare you, no, not at all.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>It's the best feeling in the work.

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Put it into it and just let it rest. The

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>mannequins scare your big prank car not really.

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 4>So when they asked me to do that, I really

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to at first. Why it just wasn't me.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 4>But when when they kind of explained the idea to me,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 4>I was like, you know what, I feel like I

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 4>would be the perfect person for it. And you know,

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 4>it was a good when everybody got a good laugh.

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Got to keep the keep the spirits good, and keep

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody on their toes. You just recently renew renewed your

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>wedding boughs.

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>What all went into that? Give me a little bit

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 3>of the romance.

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like, I mean, your renewals far more fancy

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>than even my my actual wedding. You spared no money

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>on that line.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 4>No, So when we first got married was in my

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 4>aunt's backyard, so it was a very intimate, kind of

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 4>small maybe about twenty thirty people, you know, the close family.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 4>And we always said for our five year. You know,

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 4>I was going to give her a big wedding that

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 4>she wanted. So we founded an event planner, a wedding planner,

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 4>and we let her do her magic, and you know,

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 4>it's it was one of the best things we ever done.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I love that.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.120

<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks, you know, once he just done editing,

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 4>I definitely put it on the ig.

<v Speaker 1>Did you write your own bounced?

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Is there like a line you're really proud of or

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>something that you're like I got.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Her with that?

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, everybody said that this line kind of stood out.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 4>I said, nobody's perfect, but you're perfect to me. And

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, I got all the alls and everything in

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 4>the back, so I kind of knew that was that

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 4>was the good line.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 3>What did you guys meet? What's your love story?

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 4>We go all the way back to seventh grade? Whoa

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 4>seventh grade? And what what's crazy? I was the new

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 4>kid in school and I remember to this day we

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 4>were in gym class. I didn't know nobody, so I

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 4>was kind of by myself. She walked up to me

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 4>and just, you know, hey, how you doing, Just like, hey,

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, we just kind of started talking and then

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 4>we kind of we kind of became best friends at first.

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 4>We never really officially started dating til my sophomore year

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 4>of high school. Yeah, and then we dated throughout high school,

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 4>then college, went our separate ways and always said, if

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 4>we don't find you know, that person, you know, let's

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 4>let's kindled the flame. Man.

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Here we are now.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, So who reached out to who first?

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 3>To go are we doing this?

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I definitely reached out first. I did you know.

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 4>Once I got done with college and everything, I was like, hey,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 4>you remember that promise we always said? She said, yeah,

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't have nobody. You don't have nobody. Let's let's

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 4>see we still got it. And here we are now.

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 1>So here's the question, how how did you break out

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of the friend zone? Was it a little awkward to go,

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>we're doing this? So now we're taking it romantique.

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, we were best friends, but you kind of

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 4>know way you got a little feeling towards each other.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 4>So that's what it was, and you know, it just

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 4>it's funny how it worked out there.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I love that.

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I love that. Okay, so you've got two kids, You've

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 3>got a.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Four year old and a year and a half.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 2>This sholds exactly.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you balance doing this, being so busy doing

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a million things having kids. I mean, we were kind

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of talking a little bit off camera about what it's

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>like when you're losing sleep, and I feel like, no

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>matter what your situation is, you're still going to be

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>going through the ringer a little Yeah.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I got it. It's just part of life.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>I know what I do is for them, you know

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. And I know whether I'm tired or

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 4>worn out. I know when I come here it's grand old,

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 4>grand old grind. But as soon as I step out

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 4>the building, I flip that switch to daddy mode.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I get those couple hours.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Because they usually sleep around nine thirty years, So I

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>get those couple hours, you know, bathe and play with them,

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>talk to him, you know, just even though I'm going

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 4>for today, let him know that I'm still there dad,

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 4>and I'll be there for the day.

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>What's your advice on getting your kid to sleep? My

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>kid's putting me through the ringer. Right now, she will

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>not sleep in her own bed. I don't know what's

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>happening anymore. What should I do?

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>So I say that the first time you put them down,

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 4>staying there with them, you know, let them feel comfortable

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>and everything. But the main kids, when they wake up

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 4>two hours later or four hours later, you cannot go

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 4>back in.

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>The room with them.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>So what do you do?

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You just go sorry, I like, go lay down. They'll

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>cry herself to sleep as well as it sounds.

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 4>They scream do this, but eventually they'll fall asleep, and

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 4>it's been working for her.

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>So see where I screwed myself on that is that

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>by the time I thought to do that, she could

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>already get out of the crib. And now I'm like,

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, was She's just standing there at the door.

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>What am I supposed to do?

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>This is crazy.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.919
<v Speaker 4>You cannot let her in their room there, let her

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 4>in the bed. She has to go right back to

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 4>her bed.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 3>She fully sleeps in my bed. Now it's a disaster.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Got to get out of that bad.

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well I will consider that when I get home.

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna listen.

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 1>We gotta have a little heart to heart.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 3>We got to figure this out here.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>You are a very happy, go lucky You seem like

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you're always in a good mood.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Things are always going good for you.

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>So my big question to you is, when was the

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>last time you cried?

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Last time I cried?

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 3>Why didn't you get sad loves?

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Are we talking sad crying? Okay, hey, I don't want to.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, happy tears are beautiful, happy tears, we love those.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I want the sad tears.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Sad tears.

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>It's actually really sad.

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I actually feel bad question.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, I would say after the AOC Chairship game like that,

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 4>that that one kind of cooked me deep because I

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 4>knew how close we were and we lost by three.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 4>But you know that that might have been the last

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 4>time I was just sad.

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Sad wise, yeah, yeah, very I think a lot of

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>people were crying, colective crying. Yeah, if you want to

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>tap into your emotions, what do you do?

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Is there like a song you want to listen to?

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Is there a movie that kind of like trigger some

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>emotions for you?

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 4>So really, it's not even a song. It's just not

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 4>a certain song. It's just a vibe. Like if I'm

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 4>want to get into my emotional side, I definitely throw

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 4>on some slow R and B where there's old school

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 4>R and B, new scar and B. Just that smooth

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 4>vibe where I kind of just take that breath and

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 4>let it flow out.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I would say just that music vibe for me.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Musical through it. Sometimes you just got to, you know,

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>have a.

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Moment a little different if you actually listen to it.

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so you've been in the league a long time,

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>seven years. As we've said, what are some of the

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>perks that come with the status that you have within

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:40.679
<v Speaker 1>this league and on this team?

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 4>Obviously Number one is the fan recognition, you know, especially

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 4>around here. I'm not say, I'm not on Joe Burrow

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 4>and Jamar's Chase where I need security and stuff like that,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 4>but I can go out and you know, get get

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 4>recognized pretty easily, sir. It's kind of cool, especially when

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 4>it's kids. You know, you just make that kids moment

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 4>when you give them a high five, just something light,

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 4>something like that. But know that that's kind of my

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 4>That's the one thing I really love about is just

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 4>the recognition and just the joy from the fans when they,

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, get around you.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Is there any moment in particular that like really stands

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>out to you, like one of those like really great

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>fan interactions.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, I want to say this training camp, I

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 4>can't remember. It was a little girl. I signed everything

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 4>and I just gave him my cleats and she really

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 4>did just like started crying. I was just like I

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 4>got gave her a hug and everything, and you know

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 4>it was just a good moment.

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's really nice.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>So with the fans, that relationship so great. What about

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the veteran status in the locker room, you have rookies

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>going out running some errands for you, getting you like

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>your snacks and your drink.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a shout out to all our rookies in

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 4>the corner back room, DJ Ivy, DJ Turner. They make

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 4>sure our snacks are are there in handy when we

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 4>need them. But it's a lot of different things. Snacks.

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Every every every Saturday before a game, they'll go get

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 4>us a bunk like they don't know that yet, but

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 4>they will go get us butt cakes like nothing.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Cake exactly great?

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 3>What kind do you get?

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>This is new?

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Because I just had one. If you haven't got it, the.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Carrick cake, I know I should have done.

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I've been told I know I screwed up.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 2>You get it.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 4>You get different things from carrying the pads in after practice,

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 4>so you definitely take advantage of it certainly.

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Certainly, who is your favorite big man that you've tackled?

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's oh, there's no question. Derek harry Man. I

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 4>got him a good three times in that one game. Man,

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 4>it was some good licks on him, so that those

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 4>that was the one hang.

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 1>On to those ones. Okay, so some Pittsburgh things. Okay,

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>what's a yinser?

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 4>So it took me to about my third year to

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 4>figure out exactly what it is. So down South we

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 4>say y'all, yes, Pittsburgh yinser is y'all. Where I'm from,

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 4>We're like, what are y'all doing? They're like, what ends doing?

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 4>So I would hear it all around. I never really

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.079
<v Speaker 4>understood it. I was like, yeah, that's I can't get

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 4>adjusted to say yes at all. But they everybody says

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 4>it out there.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 3>So that was the hard one for me.

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird. I don't know why.

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm from Canada and I adjusted to saying y'all.

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>No, it's just like y'all.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.439
<v Speaker 4>Take that, but yeah, but they faithfully says out there faith.

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Come on Pittsburgh, the sandwiches, the coal saw and the

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>fries on the sandwiches are.

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>You wasn't a fan? Wasn't a fan?

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.839
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, was not a fan. Everybody told me tried it

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>out there, and I tried it once. I can't remember

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:43.959
<v Speaker 4>the exact name of it.

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Where it was we were talking about it earlier. I

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>can't remember the name of it starts with a P.

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, oh, man, I know that talk about But

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I had it once.

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Everything, Yeah, and it was.

0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I was not a fan. It was not for me.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 2>You need it.

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I also don't really like a potato and like a

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>breakfast burrito.

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you need it.

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>You understand, you understand.

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>You get it.

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Just give me the goods.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't need the extra I don't need the added calories.

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 3>You know what are.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>We doing better bridges Cincinnati or Pittsburgh?

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>This one?

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, The bridges in Pittsburgh a lot nicer. But

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 4>it's crazy. They they're formed the same way they think

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 4>about Pittsburgh. They got this one bridge that opens up

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 4>to the city. Yeah, just like Cincinnati. You come around

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>that curve right out seventy one, there's the city. But

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 4>Theydge it's a tunnel that you going in for about

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 4>a mile and then so as you come out, the

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 4>whole city of Pittsburgh's right there after.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Pretty. It's very nice. I will give them that I've

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>gotten a customs because I feel like our bridges here

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.959
<v Speaker 1>esthetically are maybe more beautiful. But yeah, that skyline, when

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 1>you come out of that tunnel and you see it.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 2>You're like, oh, it definitely hits.

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 3>It is very very cool.

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's beautiful. It really is. Okay, let's get into this.

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>You want to do a little true or false.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's see what you're made of.

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 3>I gotta do as I'm a little blind.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh yay, We've got thumbs up and thumbs.

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Here's your props. Okay.

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>The Bengals defense has thirteen interceptions last year.

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen true ding ding ding.

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>True, you have the second most career interceptions of any

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>current Bengal.

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>True false, Who got me? Maybe Cheeto?

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 3>You have the most?

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I got the most.

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Burrow is the NFL's all time leader in career completion percentage.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>True the other day at Jamar is the only Bengal

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>with one thousand plus receiving yards in the first two seasons.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Say false, It is false.

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>AJ Green also did it.

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but three of the five largest home crowds in

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Bengels history occurred during the twenty twenty two season.

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>The Whiteout game, I'm sure that Monday Night against Buffalo.

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. What could be the other? I don't say false.

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember. I don't know what other games.

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>It is false, but it's false because it was four

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>out of five oh not three, So even more, that's

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>very impressive. Do you really like go in and like

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>remember games specifically like that?

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Definitely, especially like ones like just have a different entity

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 4>to them. You get that feeling and you just know

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be one of those nights.

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Drop right back in there. Yeah.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>The Bengals defense did not allow a touchdown the first

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>quarter of each of the final thirteen games last season,

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.599
<v Speaker 1>including the playoffs.

0:13:54.080 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 2>In the first quarter. Yeah, I don't know, Dese.

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Is it more fun to play for the Bengals than

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers?

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Way up there.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Get that that the terrible terrible towel towel curse is real.

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not.

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a tongue twister terrible curse that got me. Joe

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Burrow is more swaggy than Chad Kelly.

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 4>It's tough because Chad was a reward, but I gotta

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 4>geared to Joe.

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and this brings us back to something we

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>were talking about earlier. Skyline is better than primante.

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what it is. Yes, Ding ding chili guided anything.

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 3>It's a good chili.

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I like it.

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I like it on my hot dog, not on spaghetti.

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 2>If you put it on spaghetti, I don't. I just

0:14:59.240 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>About you don't mind it on the spaghetti. I don't

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>need it in like a sloppy Joe form. But on

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the hot dog, that's really where it's. That is where

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it is. That Okay, So coming into this season, what

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is your advice for some of the rookies, some of
