1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Time now for a off season mini camp conversation right

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: now with Zaire Franklin, linebacker for your Indianapolis Colt. Zaire,

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: as we sit here and talk right now, you're almost done.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: The off season workout program wraps up this week with

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: a three day mini camp. Where do you think you've

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: made strides individually during this off season time one?

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: I just think, you know, just getting to know my

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: teammates better. Just I feel like just setting that standard

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: for work in the building myself, Kenny Grove Buck just

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of new faces and not a

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: new energy in the building. Just making sure we continue

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: to set the standard of you know, how we want

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: to carry it. But just for me personally, you know,

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: I think it's just attention to details. I think just

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: physically and athletically, I feel like I'm in a place where,

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's not a play that I can't make.

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: I think for me, it's just refining my game, you know,

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: just trusting my instincts more and just really understanding taking

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: that next level of understanding the game to make those

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: next level plays.

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Is that what this time of year is all about,

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: because once you start, especially the regular season, it's so

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: upon it driven and who you're playing that week and

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: knowing their tendencies. Really to understand the game, like you said,

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and really fully understand the nuances and the subtleties about

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: the game. Is that word this time of year is

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: most beneficial?

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: Oh, no question, because you know, at this time of

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: the year you could go back and do you know

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: a deep dive. Okay, let's see how they play us

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: in three by one or how they play us in

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: this formation. You could really sit down and study those

33
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: type of things. During the season, you so kind of

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: locked in on trying to prepare for things, it's hard

35
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: to kind of take that time out to really stunt off,

36
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: like study these one off situations.

37
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: So, like we talked about, you had an unbelievable season

38
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: last year, setting the franchise record for tackles in a

39
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: single season. How much faster and more instinctual do you

40
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: think you are this year going into year two under

41
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley compared to last year.

42
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Man, I feel like it's definitely a huge step forward

43
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: just in terms of comfortability on the different conversations that

44
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: me and Gus could have just about different plays and

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: different things. Also learning how Gus the language that he

46
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: speaks when he's trying to describe something to me, him

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: learning my language too, So just a report that me

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: and him have to understand that me and Coach Smith have.

49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just definitely next level and I'm

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: just really looking forward to being able to put that

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: all together, you know, come August and build on that

52
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: throughout the season.

53
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what's being called before it's called? Are

54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: you there yet?

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: Kind of a little bit.

56
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: I know, I know how he kind of thinks, I

57
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: know how he assumes, and we talk about a lot too.

58
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: Last year he was kind of starting to break down, Okay,

59
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: I like to do this, I like to do that,

60
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: And now I think he's starting to understand what I

61
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: like to do and what we like to do. So

62
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: I think it's just a little give and take.

63
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I had four years of the same defensive coordinator in college.

64
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: I could have called the place. Yeah right, I'm sure

65
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: you're there.

66
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we getting there.

67
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: It's just right now in the spring, you just installing,

68
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: you putting in a whole bunch of stuff. But definitely

69
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: by the time the season come, for sure, what do

70
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: you make.

71
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: Of this defense? There's playmakers? I mean I know, towards

72
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the end of last year it was what it was.

73
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: But Buck's coming back, as you said, Grover, Kenny, yourself,

74
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully shacks back. What is the potential of

75
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: this defense with all the playmaker and pro bowlers in

76
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: all three levels of that defense?

77
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: Oh, no question. I mean I feel like personally, I

78
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: feel like it's.

79
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: One of those things where you know, you see TV,

80
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: you kind of see everybody kind of throwing us in

81
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: the trash and all that, And I'm cool with that

82
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: because I know once the season starts, everybody's gonna be

83
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: reminded type of talent we really got on defense. You know,

84
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: like you said, on all three levels, top players, you know,

85
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: all pros, Pro bowlers, just all across the field. So

86
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: obviously last year guys have banged up, guys are missing time.

87
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Obviously I was getting Kenny back, and you know, getting

88
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: guys and spots of the comfortable with It's going to

89
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: make a big, big difference. And I'm just looking forward

90
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: for us to pull it all together.

91
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: You just said it. I mean, I know you don't

92
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: care about that kind of stuff, but it's hard to

93
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: not notice some of those things when it's thrown in

94
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: your face, but you see, you recognize what some of

95
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: the people are saying about this team.

96
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: At the end of the season, you have to you

97
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: have to.

98
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: And I was honestly say it's mainly because you you

99
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: understand what it's like to be on the other side.

100
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: You know, the last couple of years, you know, everyone's

101
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: throwing all their expectations on us. You know, this year

102
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: is just kind of like nobody really cares. So it's

103
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: cool and standing. And I think the beautiful, beautiful thing

104
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: about sports and the NFL is that it always rides

105
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: and waves. You know that they'll love you one week

106
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 2: and they hate you in that and that's just that's

107
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: just how that you typically goes. But I think as

108
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: long as we stay locked in, I think this time

109
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: you know, together that we've had, they really just focus

110
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: on ourselves and our team has been it has been

111
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: big for us.

112
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: I zire Franklin with us all right again. Essentially, you've

113
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: had an entire offseason workout program under Shane Stike and

114
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: first impressions of the new guy a lot of energy.

115
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: What do you make of the new coach man?

116
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: I will really just say, obviously he brings that energy

117
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Obviously he's younger, so he understands us, he understands what

118
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: gets us going. But I really feel like, you know,

119
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: just you know, just his attention to detail the things

120
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: that you know, he doesn't let much lie. He holds

121
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: everybody accountable, all pro undrafted alike. And I think that's

122
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: all you could really ask for from a here guy,

123
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, to set the stand or set the pace

124
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: and you know, give us a great example for us

125
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: leaders to follow and continue to lead as well.

126
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: So obviously there's different ways to skin a cat in

127
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: every walk of life. But what have you noticed in

128
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: terms of pacing of practice, the way practice is conducted

129
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: compared to what you were used to.

130
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: I would definitely say it's a lot faster, and I

131
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: would just say a whole lot of like trimming the fact,

132
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: Like I would just say, we write to it right

133
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: to the parts that we need to be. It's not

134
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: a lot of fluffy, right, you know, not a lot

135
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: of fasts all lean, you know what I mean. So yeah,

136
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: we just we kind of in and out, we getting

137
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: getting the work done, getting what need to get done,

138
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: and then you know, restling and how we need to

139
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: so all.

140
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Right, speaking of no fat all lean. That's Anthony Richardson.

141
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I know you talked about this earlier today with the media,

142
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: but you know, again you've had about a month of

143
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: time on task with him and going up against him

144
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: in OTAs and now in the mini camp. What what

145
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of challenges does he pose for you and a

146
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: guy on defense as a leader at the linebackerspot.

147
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: Man, I think he just kind of has to You

148
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: just have to change, you know, your whole friend of

149
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: mom when you're playing against you know, a quarterback as

150
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: dynamic as him, just a different elements that he brings

151
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: to the playbook. It's like a whole other chapter of

152
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: it opens up when he's on the field, and that

153
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: just brings a lot of problems for a lot of

154
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: guys and a lot of different people. So a whole

155
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: lot of stuff you got to keep aware. And I'm

156
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: talking to other guys making sure everybody is aware of this,

157
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: and then you know that's taken away from what I'm

158
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: thinking about. So I mean, but that's just the challenge

159
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: that you that comes with, you know, ar being on field.

160
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you certainly know him better than most. Seems

161
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: like a seems like a good guy.

162
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: No, he's a great kid, definitely, you know, just looking

163
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 2: forward to the work, looking forward to get on the field,

164
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: and I definitely know I feel like he itching to

165
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: kind of get into the real football because I feel

166
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: like that's what he really cares about. But you know,

167
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: I think he's just taking a step there day by

168
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: day and just continue to try to get better.

169
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: And also too, I mean, you understand what comes with

170
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the outside noise when when you're drafting the top five

171
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: and you're a quarterback, there's a lot of things that

172
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: go along with that. How can you as a leader

173
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: on this team. I know it's a defense versus offense

174
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: type thing, but how can you lighten the load and

175
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: take some of the stress off of him as a

176
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: leader inside this locker roun uh?

177
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: Well?

178
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: First off, just letting him understand that he don't got

179
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: to do it all by himself. You know, I know

180
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: he was drafted with high expectations, but he's not a savior.

181
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: You know, we got a job to do, and we're

182
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 2: going to do our job to the best of our abilities.

183
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: And you know, I think just for him just to

184
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: kind of come in and focus and be able to

185
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: worry about him. We have great leadership in our locker

186
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: room to help, you know, try to groom him and

187
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: help him along the way as he continued to comes

188
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: and finds his voice and you know who he wants

189
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: to be in this league and in his locker room.

190
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: But I think for us, it's just you know, us

191
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: wanting to go to extra mount first as a defense

192
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: knowing that we got possibly a young quarterback and knowing

193
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: that we're going to have to step up and make

194
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: some plays and put him in best position to be successful.

195
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: And also as an offense knowing that they're going to

196
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: have to help him long until you know, he gets

197
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: the ropes at the NFL thing and starts really moving

198
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: with it.

199
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: At Zire Franklin with us last couple of things. This

200
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: might sound like a weird question, but every NFL team

201
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: wants their quarterback to be one of the biggest leaders

202
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: on the team. And I think every NFL team to

203
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: some degree needs their quarterback to be one of the

204
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: biggest leaders on the team. You're going into year six,

205
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: you've played literally almost one hundred games in the NFL. Yeah,

206
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: and you're established and you're one of the biggest leaders

207
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: on the team, but you're also going to be looking

208
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: to a guy like Richardson who's a rookie and at

209
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: this point is never played a game in the NFL,

210
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: how do you help him grow into that role to

211
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: be a leader and to some degree a guy like

212
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: you to follow him.

213
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: I think, honestly, it's just letting him be himself and

214
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: understanding that leadership is based off of your personality and

215
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: how you care. You know what's great for me as

216
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: a leader. My leadership style is not the same as Shaquilles,

217
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: but guess what, both of them are very much needed

218
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: on our team. And I think you know for that

219
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: is you can't force somebody to be in a position

220
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: that they're not ready for it, they're not comfortable with.

221
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: And I think obviously I feel like Anthony has that

222
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: spirit in him and has that natural energy to him.

223
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think you know, of

224
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: all the times that you know, I've been around and

225
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: I've seen it kind of go. The other way is

226
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: when you just slap a label on somebody and just

227
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: give them a bunch of things that they're not necessarily

228
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: ready for in that moment, and then when you get

229
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: let down, you want to blame him for it. And

230
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: that's not now so really necessarily always their fault.

231
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: So right, five weeks to yourself before you know, you

232
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: ramp up for for training camp and get back together

233
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: with these guys. I know you're not just going to

234
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: be loafing taking time off. I know that's not you.

235
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: You can't do that in the NFL. But what are

236
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: your summer plans if if you even want to use

237
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: the word summer, but you're your time off here between

238
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: training camp?

239
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have one last event for the summer

240
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: for my nonprofit releases. And yes, we got a business academy. Yeah,

241
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: so we teach in seven eighth graders, you know that

242
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: basics of business. A couple of business owners come in

243
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: and talk to them. So that's pretty much the first

244
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: thing I'll be doing.

245
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Is that in Philadelphia, Yes, okay.

246
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: And then after that pretty much just training. You know,

247
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: I got a birthday in between there and me and

248
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: my fiance her birthdays three.

249
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: Days before mine.

250
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.

251
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we celebrate her for three days and then

252
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I'll get afternoons.

253
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: It's like three minutes, so.

254
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: That's how that goes.

255
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 2: And then but you know, obviously I'll be training, I'll

256
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: be putting, working, I train out in Tampa and then

257

258
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,080

Speaker 2: training camping with one of my mentors, Bobby Wagner.

260
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, a little tune.

261
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: Up right to get right, that would be a good mentor.

262
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480

00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: of himself. You have to be here in twenty twenty three.
