23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: my podcast producer, if you're in the room with him,

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: it's he's like he like glows right, like he's uh,

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,039

00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: he's not and he's humble, but he's confident. So it's

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: it's not like a weird regal nous where you're like uncomfortable.

31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: He makes it. He first of all, he walked into

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: the room and said hello to everyone in the room,

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: like shake, shook all of our heads, shook everyone's hand,

34

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: everybody doing, Hello, guys, and then sat down. Derek Jeter

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: is the goat. He's been an athlete for all those years,

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: never had any kind of like a controversy around him

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: dating women. Derek is the goat. Love love, How could

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: you not? Such a good guy. Comes from a great family.

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: We talked about his family a lot in this episode.

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: So some of the takeaways for me where when he

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: talks about um waiting till you know, after his career

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: to have a family because he said it wouldn't have

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: been fair to whoever he was with. UM So we

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: talked about that a little bit. You'll see that in

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the episode. UM. But the greatest takeaways for me from

47
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: this episode Number one, I just like being in his presence.

48
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I could, you know, like speaking in the presence of greatness.

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Being in the presence of greatness. It's just joyful, especially

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: when when his spirit is oh good. But um So,

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: some of the takeaways though from this interview for me

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: that have actually stayed with me since our conversation and

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I've actually implemented them in my life at different moments.

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: There's two things that he said in this interview. One

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: of them was the last thing you think is the

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: first thing you do. Bars Bars play the clip. I

57
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: also believe the last thing you think is the first

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: thing you do. Go back to golf. Okay, you're golf

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: and don't hit it left, don't hit it left, don't

60
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: hit it left. What do you do? You hit it left, left, right?

61
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: So the last thing you think is the first thing

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: you do. Your mindset is what's most important, you know.

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: I think that that that is how you have success.

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: I think when you start doubting yourself, that's when you

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: have a problem. You have a real problem. So it's

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: almost just reinforcing yourself that, Hey, look, you know you're

67
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna succeed here. It's not a question. You're gonna succeed.

68
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: And if you don't, you deal with it afterwards. You know,

69
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: what did I do? You don't do the last Yeah,

70
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: So it's just constant reinforced. Right, did you hear what

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: he said? So us the last thing you think is

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: the first thing you do. So if you wake up

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and you go, I'm going back to sleep, you're going

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: to sleep all day. All day, you're gonna be sleeping.

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: But he's like for me, like if you're playing golf

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I keep hitting it left, I

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: keep hitting it left. When you go to hit the ball,

78
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: the balls probably gonna go left again because you've willed it. Um.

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: So he really lives his life like that. The last

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: thing I think is the first thing I do. The

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: other day, I was a Thanksgiving night my family. We

82
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: play a left right center play left right center, you're

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: the worst, Like you're the worst person to be in

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: the room because you don't know anything that any of

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: us are talking about. No, left, right center is a

86
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: lot of fun, and we get my whole family gambles,

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: the kids, the old people, everybody, the grandparents, the kids. Um.

88
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: But so when somebody was rolling the dice and he

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: said he was like, oh, I'm never gonna get it.

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: And I looked at him. I was like, the last

91
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: thing you say that the first thing you do. And

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: then he goes, all right, I'm gonna get a all whatever.

93
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get all the old doll dot dot dot.

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: You don't have to give the money away, And he

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: rolled a perfect Not to say that that's always gonna happen,

96
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: but in that moment it really worked. He was like,

97
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: he looked at me, he was like, Wow, what is that.

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Dirk Jeter, take away my guy? Was

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: that him the first time he played that game? You know,

100
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: when Derek Jeter said it, I thought about how the

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: universe kind of like conspires to help push positively push

102
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: you forward. So when you're trying something for the first time,

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, the theory of beginner's luck, like like the

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: first time you might have did golf, you might have

105
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: hit something really good and been oppressive. But then every

106
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: single thing after that then it gets harder. But the

107
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: universe gives you that first like push to show you success,

108
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: so that way you can always think back, Yes, you

109
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: can always think back to that. He said that too,

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: by the way, that was another takeaway he talked about that.

111
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: He said he always thinks about the last time that

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: he had success. So if he talked about being in

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: high school, did you know he played high school basketball basketball?

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: His sister was dope to sus want, I assume you

115
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: did not college basketball. When he played college basketball, he

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: said he had. He always would think about the time

117
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: where he would have a really good shot every time

118
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: he was up there, so that that's what he was thinking. Therefore,

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: that he would be more likely to re kind of

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: do that again. Never bad thoughts, never bad and thoughts

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: and then the other thing I remember we talked about

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: just about greatness because something I do because I like

123
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: to play games. I like to play pool, I like

124
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: to bowl, I like to play golf. I tend to

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: choke on the eight ball. I tend to play a

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: phenomenal game of pool and then the eight ball. I'm

127
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: almost done and then I joke and I scratched or

128
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: I miss it. Okay, not needs to know what eight

129
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: boy we call him? We call him pockets? Is that

130
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: how you lose? Like? How is it that you're losing?

131
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: If I call a pocket, it goes to the left

132
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: of the pocket, whatever the case is. When I'm about

133
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: to close, because I get tight, I get like my

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: energy shifts because it's almost there. You almost have the wind,

135
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: so you get nervous and you don't deliver at the end.

136
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: And so I thought, how do you guys, like when

137
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: you're it's the World Series and you're up to bat

138
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and there's two men on base and two outs, how

139
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: do you not choke? How do you not let anxiety

140
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: or stress or your mind? You don't even go there,

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: That's what he says. There. It's two things. You don't

142
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: even go there. But the other thing is you have

143
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: practiced so much that you have been in this moment before.

144
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: This is not a foreign moment to you. So when

145
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: you're at the if you're a basketball player and you're

146
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: at the at the at the free throw line, you

147
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: have been at that free throw line so many times

148
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that nothing about this is foreign. So it's about preparing

149
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: for greatness, preparing yourself to have that memory, muscle memory

150
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: so that you can be great in those moments. Can

151
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: relate to a lot of this conversation, what about about

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: the greatness my two cents in so as a DJ, Yes,

153
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You have to remember when

154
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: you when the crowd was like, you are the god DJ,

155
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: right when you bodied the crowd. I'm hearing you. See

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: where you're going with this? See where you're going. You've

157
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: done it so many times that it's not far into

158
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: you when you have the DJ in front of some

159
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: When I go on stage, it's like second nature to

160
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: me now because you've done Because I've done so much,

161
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: you feel nervous when you started doing TV because DJ

162
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: and the club might be different than actually because I've

163
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: done so many things in the industry UM with the

164
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: camera involved, it actually made me not nervous or TV

165
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: because because he's done the work, he's done the ten

166
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: thousand hours, he's been prepared for all of those moments.

167
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: So that's how you not choke up or you're not

168
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: getting nervous, and you prepare for greatness is by repetition exactly.

169
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean Derek Jeter had a lot of those jewels.

170
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: He talked a lot about, um, not being afraid to fail.

171
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: I like this clip. This is him talking about having

172
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: to fail as a baseball player. If you're going to

173
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: be good at anything, it takes time too, and it

174
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: takes patience. Um. You know, one thing I always like

175
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: to ask people that have been successful, is what's your

176
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: biggest failure along the way. I think you learned from

177
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: other people's failures. People assume you wake up one day

178
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, here you are. You're in

179
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame right now. It doesn't work like that.

180
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Takes a lot of years. Um. So I I just

181
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: think it's just so much work has to go into it.

182
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: There's no magic formula. They don't wake up and you're

183
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: good at something. And you have to have patients along

184
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: the way. Even though I don't have a lot of it,

185
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn patients. And once again, you know,

186
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: I've come from a sport where it's you get a

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: hit or you don't. You win a game or you don't. Right,

188
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: it's instant gratification or failure. What about the comparison between

189
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: Jared Jeter and Kobe Bryant. And that's strange, right, like,

190
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: because from a sports perspective, is their comparison sports wise? Yes,

191
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I think the MoMA mentality that Kobe has, it's kind

192
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: of the same thing of which Derek Jeta comes from.

193
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: That that that persevering and doing anything it takes to

194
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: be the best. But um, yeah, those are two go

195
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: to their their sports, Kobe and basketball and and in

196
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: baseball it goes to show you it all. It's all

197
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: about your mindset and how you want to achieve the greatness.

198
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Because Kobe wouldn't let anything stop them, just like Jita wouldn't.

199
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: It's about the level of passion that they both had,

200
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: I think, because like the way they expressed their greatness

201
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: and confidence was polar opposite. Kobe was way more brag yeah,

202
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: way more ragged doocious. Derek is such a subtle, calm

203
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: type of quiet confidence. But they both had such very

204
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: similar accomplishments and both girl dads. I think they both

205
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: have five rings. Um like, is that right? Yeah, got

206
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: five as well? Yes, So that that's probably the comparison

207
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: because they're very different types of spirits and they're not

208
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the same type of person, but it's the passion, Like

209
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: they loved their games so bad that they would leave

210
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: a game and work out more, wake up early, two days,

211
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: three days about lebron Yea Serenas. If you're great, that

212
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: family stuff, it's got to take a back page because

213
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: you got as a great you want to be grateful.

214
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Are there any great that? Oh, well, Kobe did. But

215
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Kobe had struggles with his family life early while he

216
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: was still in that mode. Because I'm wondering that any

217
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: of the greats are successful at having a family while

218
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: they're on the journey of tough though, because men can

219
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: have they can wait longer than a woman can. Look

220
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: at Serena Williams, she said she was planning to go,

221
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: but really what pushed her out the door was she

222
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: wants to continue expanding her family and for women that

223
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: looks a little different. I mean, the biggest star of

224
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: the world to me in sports is Serena Williams. We

225
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: gotta get her on the podcast word Serena Serena if

226
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: you're listening, another great. So, yeah, we talked about Kobe.

227
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: I think another thing too, is that they retired at

228
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the same time. Oh yes, yes, so I think that

229
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: that always kind of like connects them in some type

230
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: of way. But anyway, so if you didn't see the episode,

231
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Derek shares that, um, you know that he didn't really

232
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: know Kobe very well well early on. Kobe was very

233
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: closed off early on. Yeah, that's true, but he said that, um,

234
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: he they got to know each other more after they retired,

235
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: and that all of their conversations, none of it was

236
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: about sports. It was never about baseball, basketball. It was

237
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: always about the kids, was always about being a dad.

238
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: It's always about family. Um. And then Derek wrote a

239
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: really lovely letter to uh to Kobe in the Players Tribute,

240
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: and so we talked about that a little bit on

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: the episode. Maybe we should play a little clip. We

242
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: never had a conversation about baseball or basketball. Really, it

243
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: was all family related. I used to get on him

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: because he had so many girls right before I got

245
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 1: another girl, man, um, and then you know, here I

246
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: am with three of my own. So it's just it's

247
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing that you remember conversations and interactions with people.

248
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: You admire people for what they've done in their profession,

249
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: but getting a chance to actually get to know him

250
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: is what stands out to me. Not what you necessarily

251
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: do on the basketball court or baseball field is who

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: you are as a person. You know what. Another moment

253
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: I like too of this episode because I feel like, um,

254
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like he put his guard

255
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: down for a second when he talks about being envious,

256
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: because we were talking about superpowers and what his superpowers

257
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: are and what other people's superpowers are, and you know,

258
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: you can't be such a clean have this clean image

259
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: and be sold just perfect without having to kind of

260
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: watch what you say and watch what you do and

261
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: watch how you move. And he said that that was

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: one of the things that he envies if he had

263
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: to envy a superpower and other people like he envied

264
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: people who could just kind of like say whatever they want,

265
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: like be comfortable to able to enough to be or

266
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: say anything they want at any point? Am I rewarding this?

267
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: Let me what did he say exactly? Man? I would

268
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: say people's ability to be so comfortable in certain situations,

269
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm very comfortable around people, I know, right, but

270
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: you get into it just takes me so long to

271
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: get comfortable with people. So I maybe it's don't maybe

272
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: it's some more of an outgoing personality, right, But that's

273
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: that's not not who I am that way with my

274
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: friends and family. But until I know you, I won't

275
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: be that way. So I've always admired people that are

276
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: so comfortable and not even saying comfortable in your own skin,

277
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: very comfortable in my own skin, but just comfortable, love

278
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: enough to let your guard down. I like to see that,

279
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: even Derek Jeter looks at other people with not envy,

280
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: but admiration, like that's a that's a trait. I would

281
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: the guy who everybody looks to, that has all the

282
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: great traits still could see traits and other people that

283
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: he could admire. Um. Anyway, we love Derek Jeter. He's

284
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: a goat, He's a Hall of Famer. We made a

285
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, a secret Hall of Fame handshake that

286
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,720
