53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: from each other, like my mom's house and his parents' house,

54
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,560

Speaker 1: had no I didn't know like what you do before

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: like a draft, Like literally I had no idea. And

98
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: so I was like, okay, like you have to go

99
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: to um Cleveland or Cincinnati was either one of the two,

100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: and he would like go back and train for the

101
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: week and then come back and I'm just like okay.

102
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: And then when draft came, I was like, oh boy,

103
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready for this, Like I

104
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I've watched shows and I've told you this.

105
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I was scared because I see I

106
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: saw this there was I don't want to like say

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: the name, but I was like watching a show that

108
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: was out there and I was like, Okay, I am

109
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: not this person, Like these girls are not the type

110
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: of people that like I could. I just I'm not

111
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: that type of person. So I was nervous when it happened,

112
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know, like I was

113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: obviously super You have to be happy for them, Like

114
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: obviously I was happy. That's like, but it's a lot

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 1: of change coming. Has so much change all at once,

116
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: and I mean, i mean Storm got to train in Ohio,

117
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Isaac moved across the country to Arizona. I'm like, what

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: do they have taning wise in Arizona. But like you

119
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: have to be supportive of all those decisions for sure,

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: And I feel like there's just so much anxiety and

121
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: like the weight and those few months waiting and while

122
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: they're training for the draft. Yeah, it's just you're just like, wait,

123
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: what's about to happen? It's wild. And it was like

124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: so much anticipation because he was, you know, obviously laving

125
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: every week to go train, and then he would have

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: the East West Shrine Grant Shot East West Shrine game,

127
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: like they would have those games before the draft, and

128
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I was just like, wow, what is about to happen?

Speaker 1: having for dinner? Yeah, like, oh, we're fine, it's fine,

155
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: We're fine. I'm just like attributing it all of the

156
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: NFL stress, like, yeah, we'll get past it good times.

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: So times the draft comes and how was that weekend?

158
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Because I know for me and Isaac that was one

159
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: of I never seen him that stressed out before. Yeah,

160
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: it was just so Storm is not a nervous person

161
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: at all. Like I don't know how I've still not

162
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: met Storm, by the way, just saying it really weird,

163
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: but I have mentioned that we should all hang out Storm,

164
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm waiting on you tea. So draft, so Storm doesn't

165
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: get nervous, and even for games, he usually doesn't get nervous.

166
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: But I could tell that he was like a little onage.

167
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: And it didn't help that during the draft I was

168
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: like sitting next to him and people kept calling and

169
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: it's like you don't call, Oh, yeah, you don't call,

170
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and it was teams calling, yeah, and he was you know,

171
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: it got down to like the last round and like

172
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: last picks, and it wasn't like it just didn't happen,

173
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: and I had to like console myself and like to

174
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: be able to just be like like no emotion pretty

175
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: much for me, so I can like be there for him.

176
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: And I was just like, you know, it's gonna be okay,

177
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be fine. And then he signed as

178
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: a free agent with Detroit. I did not know Detroit

179
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: was the first team. Yeah, just like shout in Detroit

180
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: just because I'm from there. Why Yeah, So it was convenient.

181
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: That was nice because we could still stay. We stayed

182
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: because you guys are from Ohio. Yeah. We lived right

183
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: on the border. We got a house right on the border.

184
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: And he was just the drive. He hated the drive. Um,

185
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: but we were still able to drive that every day.

186
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: How long is that like an hour? Okay, like that's

187
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: like a commune, it's but when it when it's physical

188
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: to me. When he hears this, because it was longer

189
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: than that, you're like I thought it was. Yeah, but

190
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I do know that he hated that drive. But it

191
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: was nice because we could you know, stay home whatever,

192
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: family and friends too. I feel like that's a huge

193
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: thing going into the NFL because you need some like support, Yeah,

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: for sure. And did you have Riker. No, okay, not yet,

195
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm moving too fast. No, it's okay. We did get

196
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: pregnant soon after that. M hmm. Yeah. So um after

197
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: we actually decided to get pregnant while he was with Detroit.

198
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: So um yeah, like a what like a month in

199
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: or like a few weeks in and we decided to

200
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: get pregnant rum. And that was actually funny because I

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: was obviously having conversations with my family and um, we

202
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't tell his family at all that we were trying,

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: but I, like my mom knew and I had to

204
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: talk with my grandma and grandma. I just want to

205
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: let you know. Oh, um, my mom was you know.

206
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: I think for me it was more so like I've

207
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: told you this, I think I think having a baby

208
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: is way more commitment than marriage. And I was still

209
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: on edge about marriage just because you hear so many

210
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: stories and it scared me. I didn't want to like

211
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: put pressure like on a relationship, right, So, yeah, we

212
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: got pregnant and then he laughed again. So was this

213
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of his first season? Yeah, okay, so

214
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to go into detail, because I know

215
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: that is like one of the most like one of

216
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the worst days. I was like, gave me that phone call.

217
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: In his first it was a week after he realized

218
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: he was on the fifty three men roster. In a

219
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: week later, he gives me a phone call. I'm sitting

220
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: in my college class and he goes, hey, I really

221
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: need you to answer, and I go, oh, I go

222
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: out of my class and he's like, hey, I just

223
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: got cut. So for twenty four hours, I'm just kind

224
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: of waiting. Maybe I'll be on the practice squad. Maybe

225
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: I'll get picked up, so I'll keep you updated. I'll

226
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: go cool. And so you're just saying out the phone,

227
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, how am I supposed to go back to class? Right?

228
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: So what it was that you don't have to go

229
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: into I mean, as long as you guys are comfortable.

230
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, So he actually never signed to the fifty

231
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: three man okay until this year. This was his first year. Yeah, congratulations, thanks, Yeah,

232
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: it was amazing. He was a free agent practice squad okay.

233
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: So then um, then Arizona. He was with Arizona. So

234
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: they gave him a call. Yeah. Um, and when I

235
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: was pregnant, he goes, hey, I think you should quit

236
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: your job and move out here. I said, mmm, I

237
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: don't know about that. Sorry to say it, but with

238
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the track record right now, I don't think that's smart.

239
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I was just trying to be honest and I was working.

240
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not quitting my job. Yeah, I mean,

241
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen. We don't know what's going

242
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: to happen. So I was like no, and then got

243
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: let go. And then UM Minnesota, Yeah, we were there

244
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: for a little while. We were did you ever move

245
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: to Arizona? No, I'm ever moved to Arizona. No, So

246
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: then we moved to UM Minnesota practice squad and Riker

247
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: was only a month old when we moved. Wow. I know.

250
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: couple and the NFL hopes for. You'd like have to

258
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: He was at an away game and his wife was

259
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: giving birth and he was on FaceTime for his firstborn.

260
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I don't have no idea. He

261
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't play the game. I'm just like, how

262

265
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen, and like that's my fear. There's

266
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: no way I would go through labor without storm, Like

267
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't do. I promise I would take a video

268
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: of me screaming and yeah, just be like you put

269
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: him one. So I was like, you from playing another baby.

270
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: If we're going to do it in these months, we don't.

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen. We're gonna wait until next year because

272
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: it's not it's not gonna happen, right, So, Minnesota, So

273
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: how did you feel about I mean, you have a

274
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: one month old, you're a new mom. How do you

275
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: feel about leaving your family your support system? Not easy

276
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: at all. I feel like as a mom that like

277
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: takes so much courage to leave everything you know and

278
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: like that was the first time moving out of Ohio. Yeah,

279
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: so you're like, Okay, I have my brand new baby

280
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just yeah, going to move to Minnesota. And

281
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: then on top of that, right when we get their

282
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: training camp, so he's gone, yeah, from the hotels for

283
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: a whole month. So it was hard and I remember,

284
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: like I would in storm, obviously felt like awful, but

285
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: like what are you gonna do? Yeah, there's not much. Yeah,

286
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: so I didn't and I really didn't know anybody there yet.

287
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: There was only you learned this time. Yeah, I made sure,

288
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: but I would you know, I was, Yeah, I had

289
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: to call my mom a lot the first too much.

290
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: What does that mean? It's what do I do? And

291
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: I would just I was exhausted, Um, but it's it's

292
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: what we decided. That was what we signed up for,

293
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: and that's what I signed up for. But all I mean,

294
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: when you think about supporting your significant other, it doesn't

295
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: necessarily just mean hey babe, I'm here for you, or

296
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: like bringing him lunch or going and visiting him. It's

297
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: you're at home taking care of your child together, and

298
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: you are not like complaining like ah, you need to

299
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: be here, like you are being supportive by taking care

300
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: of your family. It's something that we're still navigating around.

301
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: And even though like rikers are about to be three, oh,

302
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: which is wild to say out lout, I haven't actually

303
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: said that. Yeah. Um. Even the other day, Storm comes

304
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: home and he's like because um, he's been going in

305
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: early and um he's like, oh, I'm exhausted. And I

306
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: was just like, so I and something we're still trying

307
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: to learn because I'm like, well, obviously I'm exhausted too,

308
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: and he said himself, he was like dealing with like,

309
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with the toddler all day is

310
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: a different kind of exhausted. He's like, I know, you're tired.

311
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: So it's really nice to also have like a partner

312
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: who like understands that instead of a partner that comes

313
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: home and is like, why don't dinner ready? Like yeah,

314
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: like I just because I've heard horror stories and I

315
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: just couldn't even imagine. But it's something that we're still learning.

316
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: And I just feel like that's what you know parent

317
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: owners all about. And you're just like you never you

318
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: don't know everything, and you're always like navigating things together.

319
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: So um, it's a lot yeah, for sure. So obviously

320
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: you guys made it through Minnesota. Yeah, and so how

321
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: many seasons was he too? I say that lightly because

322
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: I think it's too it was too. The blurry lines

323
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: are fine. Yeah, it was two. I think he was

324
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: going in they were going into the third. And so

325
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: you guys put down some pretty good roots being there

326
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: for your Oh yeah, especially because you're a new mom.

327
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure once you started to meet other moms, you're like, Hi,

328
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody here. It was it was amazing,

329
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: and being with the two other teams Minnesota was like

330
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: a treat, like it was all the all the women

331
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: there were amazing. All the players knew each other like

332
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: it was an actual family. And it's amazing being here

333
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: because that's what I feel like, everything is here now,

334
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: and I was actually so I was really nervous leaving

335
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota because I was like, I'm not going to find

336
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: that again. It's crazy because you do hear like bad

337
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: stories from other girls that have came from different teams,

338
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: and obviously they're always changing because the team is always changing,

339
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: the lives, the families, whatever, but it is very scary

340
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: to go through a transition where you're like, oh, I

341
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: move somewhere completely new, and I don't know if these

342
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: people are going to accept me. So but it's nice

343
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: because I still talk to all those girls, all of

344
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: them like it's it's amazing. So it's it's really fun, honestly,

345
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: and like if you're with a good team and you

346
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: like get to like make friends with everybody, it's a

347
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: it's a good time. And it's crazy because I always

348
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: worried after college, like how am I going to make friends?

349
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: And like I've always been shy. Isaac has been the

350
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: opposite of shy. Yes, I have been shy really unless

351
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: I talk to somebody and like, so like social media

352
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: is like where I can like be myself and like

353
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: talk to other people, Like why have a YouTube channels?

354
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Like I can be like my raw self. But when

355
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: it comes to like meeting somebody for the first time

356
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: in person, I feel like I'm like kind of myself.

357
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: But then I leave and I'm like, that's why I

358
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: said this, and I'm so I think they hate me now,

359
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Like like a first few times I met some of

360
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: the girls here, I was like, they for sure hate me.

361
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe I said that, And Isaac's like, I said,

362
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: what um, okay, that's really funny because the reason why

363
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: I wanted, like, I love Oh God, are you kidding me? No,

364
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I told you I texted Storm because I was so excited. Okay,

365
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: so I found you on the Charger's page. You and

366
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Isaac were cooking, oh and we cooked vegan patties and

367
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: you are vegan. I said, this is my girl right here,

368
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: this is my girl already, this is her. That is

369
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm clinging on right when I get there, this is happening.

370
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: And then I don't. I wanted to go back. I

371
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: wanted to go back before this and like read what

372
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: I like. I think I responded to like one of

373
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: your stories, just like a very nonchalant slide into the dms,

374
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: like not to be weird. Yeah. Yeah. But then I

375
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: started watching, like after I met you, I started watching

376
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: your tiktoks. I was like, okay, wait, I really like

377
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: her scary. Yeah. For some reason, I feel like my

378
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: social media me and like my like in person me

379
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: are like totally different. So when someone finds me on

380
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: social media, I'm like, what did you watch? Tell me?

381
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: So like that's how I feel. But yeah, I thought

382
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: it was funny because the first time we met was

383
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: at Parker's event and I was like, obviously I was nervous.

384
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: I was like going there with all the girls were there,

385
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: and I sat down. I was like and we had

386
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: like said like a few things from each other, and

387
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm good, Like this is fine.

388
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: I got you a drink before. Yeah. I was like,

389
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: she goes, I have a margarita waiting for you. I

390
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: was like, okay, like we're meant to be. Tequila's my

391
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: love language. We're good. So I mean obviously, Okay, So

392
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: backpedaling a little bit back to Minnesota. So you guys

393
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: put down roots and then when did you guys realize

394
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: you were leaving? Um? I think it was going into

395
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: the third season and they were it was after like

396
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: training camp and all of that, and and so they

397
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: were like you don't have a spot in the fifty

398
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: or anything. Yeah, so um, then we laughed and we

399
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: were I was like, I remember getting the call because

400
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I was actually at the mall and I had like

401
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: bought a few things and them, huh did you return them? No? Okay,

402
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: As I was buying stuff and I go, oh god,

403
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: I was like walking out and I was like I'm

404
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: coming right now because he had to go in he

405
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: had to go in on like give him their service,

406
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: right yeah, And I was like okay, but it was

407
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: sad because I was like we we literally like spend

408
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: holidays like this is our family, like without like it

409
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: is your family. Like when you're in the NFL, any

410
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: team you're with that is literally your family. You can

411
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: like like you can't go home for Christmas, Easter, you

412
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: spend all of the like holidays while you're in the

413
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: NFL with you know, all the everyone. And so it

414
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: was like hard because we were like we had really

415
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: good relationships, so it was difficult. But um, and I

416
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: honestly was like, okay, so is this like over? Like

417
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: in my head, these are the things that I like

418
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: would never say to him in the moment, But um,

419
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I was like it's gonna be okay, Like we're gonna

420
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: be fine. Like there's no way you're done, Like you're

421
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: not done, Like you know how good you are. I

422
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: know how good you are. This isn't over. Just keep

423
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: your head up, You'll be fine. And then you got

424
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: a call from the XFL and I was like, okay,

425
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: like this is good, Like he's still good, brand brand new.

426
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: It was his first it was this it was the

427
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: first year and or the A it was there was

428
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: something else before that I can't remember. But actually his

429
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: friend Logan was in that the year before that and

430
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: that and now he's and now he's the quarterback for

431
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: um the you were doing so Logan Woodside Tennessee Titan

432
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: for the Titans right now. So Logan was one of

433
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Storm's really good friends. Yeah, and he had played college Okay, Okay,

434
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: So then he went to the AFL, and then when

435
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Storm gets a call from the XFL, he was like, okay,

436
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity. Yes, okay. So and for me,

437
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh great, Like I was like, you

438
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,360

440
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: didn't know that this was going to come out of it.

441
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I just was like, great, Like you get to keep

442
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: playing football, like this is going to keep going on. Well,

443
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: then whatever happened with the XFL, I think it was

444
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: just I honestly, I don't know if it was COVID

445
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: and it was a blurry ending yeah. But then he

446
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: like got a random call like he was still getting

447
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: paid when he was home from the XFL. Then he

448
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: got a called Los Angeles XFL team, right, Los Angeles.

Speaker 1: off season, so like all would be fine, but you

456
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: had to miss it. So because XFL was during the

457
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: right it was like it's opposite Sea. Yeah. Um. And

458
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: then his agent calls him, well, after the XFL is done,

459
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: and it was like, um, a few teams are in arsed,

460
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: I go shut up. And that has just got to

461
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: be such an amazing phone call. Yeah, especially when I mean,

462
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: well we did XFL and the CFL. Those are like

463
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: both opportunities where you're like, Okay, I need to like

464
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: prove myself and like show these teams that I'm worth

465
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: it to put it on to like be on their team.

466
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: And so when you get a phone call like that,

467
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: you're just like it's like already like all over butterflies,

468
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: like it was in saying well at the time, because

469
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: the XFL filed for bankruptcy, so then Storm wasn't getting

470
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: paid anything nothing. And he comes home like he got

471
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: the call while he was out grocery shopping and he did.

472
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: He put his groceries back. This was a big costco

473
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: run like big and I go, oh my god, oh

507
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: made in heaven can't go wrong? He when was he

508
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: home when he got the phone call for La or

509
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: was it his agent? Charges aren't be like, hey, right,

510
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: what you're doing? Yeah? So is agent? So the agent

511
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: called his agent called and was like, you know, all

512
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: these teams are interested, and then I ended up being

513
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: the chargers that, like you know, wanted him to come

514
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: out whatever whatever, what month was this, because I want

515
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: to put it into I don't know when COVID hit.

516
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: I had no idea what happened? Was it during COVID,

517
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Yeah, oh okay, okay.

518
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: I think were you able to leave your house? Yes

519
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: or no? Because I feel like when he when he

520
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: got the call, I feel like you and I started

521
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: talking in that point, talking right, talking, talking, and I

522
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: remember you the first time you and I ever discussed anything,

523
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: you were like, I don't know, like Wayne will be

524
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: out there, because he was very prevalent. I think it

525
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: was definitely because when he came home, I think that

526
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: it already hit. Okay, and I think that might have

527
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: been half the reason why the XFL stopped. I think

528
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: from what I remember from where, um so, yeah, and

529
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: then we stayed here or we stayed back home because

530
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: in Ohio. We're not in Ohio. Um so we stayed

531
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: back home because we had just built a house and

532
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: then like we were moving, I mean Sorrom and I

533
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: had left. Was always planned to build a house in ohiole. Um. No,

534
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't until we were still with actually we had

535
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: just no, we were still with the Vikings. And then

536
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: when our house was being built, we got we left

537
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the Vikings. We stayed in an apartment while our house

538
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: was being built. Okay, um so, and I just told him,

539
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: I was like sorrom and I account it the other day.

540
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: How many times we've moved in like three years. It's

541
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: like nine, nine times. It's so crazy how different everybody's

542
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: story in the NFL is because in the past three years,

543
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: As has lived in two different apartments in the same

544
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: city a mile away from each other. Right, so yeah,

545
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: although he has gained a roommate, well three roommates, including

546
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: the cat and the dog. But yeah, it's just crazy

547
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: so many Like everybody's story is just so different. But

548
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I love Storm's story in the NFL

549
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: so much, and I love like You're to get like

550
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: you both together with little Riker because you're just like

551
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: supporting him and the behind the scenes. And then he

552
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: gets his phone call, Like I feel like that, like

553
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: the Heaven's gates just like opened up and you're like, wow,

554
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: he is getting going back to the NFL. Yeah, yep. Wild.

555
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: So then he looked wild, so wild, like I had

556
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: no idea that was going to come out of it.

557
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: No idea neither did he. I mean he had hoped.

558
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Um and like with like I said,

559
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: like the record that we have had with the NFL,

560
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: it's like it's so hard to like you lose a

561
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: bit of trust. Yeah yeah, And it's just like you

562
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: know so that we just didn't think. It's like a

563
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: boyson that keeps breaking up with you. You're like are

564
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,600

565
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: Um yeah, And so we left and we stayed back, um,

566
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: and you know, him and I kept having conversations because

567
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: COVID was like suit like very it was well, and

568
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: it was like brand new too, so nobody knew sared

569
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: like can our kids more susceptible to like write the

570
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: horrible after effects? Or are old like you just there

571
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: were so many unknowns and it was so new. Yeah,

572
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: and it just kind of like took over for sure,

573
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: And so we kept having conversations like are we going

574
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: to come out our riger? And I going to stay here?

575
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: And I was just like I feel more comfortable if

576
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: riger and I just stay back home because I don't

577
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: know how comfortable I feel taking out a flight. Well,

578
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: as the season went by, and like everything like training

579
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: camp went by, Um, then there was more stuff out

580
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: and I was just like, okay, if you're on the

581
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: practice squad again, we're going to stay home. And him

582
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: and I both decided that there was no reason for

583
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: us to be out here right um. And we just

584
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: we just didn't know, like we didn't know if he

585
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: was even going to be on the practice squad on

586
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: the roster. And I remember the conversations that we kept

587
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: having and he was just like, I just feel really

588
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: good about this right now. And I was just like, okay,

589
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: but keep your head, like, you know, keep doing what

590
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: you're doing, like don't get to right yeah, Like, just

591
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing. No. One just ask one

592
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: small question because what month did he move out to California?

593
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: Why do you have to ask that question? Because I

594
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: want to know how long he lived in a hotel? Oh? Um,

595
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: end of July when they were allowed to come out Okay, okay,

596
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: m yeah, end of July. Because I just remember, like,

597
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: obviously you're not going to grab in an apartment a

598
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: long time while you're a long time. Yeah. But the

599
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: good thing was is he didn't have to share one.

600
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: She's like, why are you asking that question? You know,

601
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure about a lot, really bad about any months

602
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: or anything that happened this year. I don't know. I'm

603
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: gonna put I'm gonna put her on blash real quick.

604
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: She was like, Storm, what were we doing when we met? Yeah,

605
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: she asked him now before she came here, anyone did,

606
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: because I didn't. I can't remember anything. Like this year

607
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: has messed me up so much. I'm just like, I

608
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Tequila me, please like mine a lot? I

609
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, I've been drinking like all quarantine. I

610
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: don't know. No, it got bad for a second there.

611
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, I've went through like five

612
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: bottles of tequila in two weeks. Let's chill out, you

613
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: like have a mental conversation like we need to relax,

614
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: bree or just like waking up in the middle of

615
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: the night like okay, you're not drinking tomorrow, Like no, no,

616
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: tell yourself. No. So training camp happens. I remember the

617
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: video of when he told you that he had made

618
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: fifty three my roster. So for those of you who

619
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: aren't listening, basically the teams have I think it's it's

620
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: like two days in a few hours, like three days,

621
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: and by Saturday five pm all of the teams, I

622
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it's five pm Eastern time. I think anyways,

623
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: details four days, four pm. Okay, sorry, but all of

624
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: the teams have to have their fifty three man rosters

625
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: finalized and their practice squads finalized. So basically, if you

626
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: don't receive a phone call, which I think it should

627
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: be the opposite. I think you should receive a phone

628
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: call saying you're on the team. But it's just my

629
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: two cents. I don't think that NFL don't listening to me.

630
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: But so you're basically waiting to not receive a phone call,

631
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: which is the opposite of the NFL draft, because you're like, okay,

632
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: phone call, phone call, phone call. Okay, No, I don't want,

633
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: like literally want to turn my phone on. No one

634
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: call me. So four pm or whatever time rolls around

635
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: and he gives you a call. Okay, let me just

636
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: add you can preface it. I was doing stuff all

637
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: day to keep myself busy because it was the last

638
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: day and it's just like making myself a list of

639
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: everything that I could do in one day, and at

640
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: the time he like he would call me. He just

641
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: calls me throughout the day, which is you know, great,

642
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: fine and dandy any other day. But at the time

643
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I was mowing the lawn. Have you ever mowed the

644
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: lawn with a phone in your hand? Don't recommend. I

645
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: had the I had the volume on high and vibrate

646
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: on high air potting, yeah, just waiting and I thought

647
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: I heard my phone vibrate, and I did, and I

648
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: was just like hello, and he goes, hey, Hey, what

649
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: are you doing And I'm like nothing, just smowing the lawn.

00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: He goes, okay, like how's your day. I'm like storm norin,

651
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: don't call me anymore today ever again unless you get

652
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: a phone call, or if you don't get a phone call,

653
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: thank you, and he goes okay, sounds good. Talk to

00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: not to call me. This has to be the phone call.

658
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: I answer the phone and I was like hello, and

00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: he goes I made the roster, and I was just like, oh,

00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: go as long as he's been in the NFL and

669
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: then to finally make the roster after like he and

670
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I truly don't know anyone more deserving than him. I

671
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: just don't like he's been through it. He has and

672
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: that's why I just I love like this story is

673
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: because that's just insane. But he never gave up. He

00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: continued working his ass off, and he was like, XFL,

678
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 1: I'm taking this opportunity and that's the thing. He took,

679
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: every single one, every single one, and honestly, his first year,

680
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,279

Speaker 1: hundred percent. It's so interesting because when I went plant based,

748
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Isaac, your inflammation is flaring up. You

749
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: should probably try like yeah, cutting meat and gary out

753
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: a band wagon. Stop copying me. But it's really great

754
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: that I had found that, especially being a new mom,

755
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: because I'm able to instill that into Riker being so young.

756
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: They do still eat fish. Storm loves his eggs, but

757
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: that's it. That's amazing though. That's literally it was. But

758
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: it was such an easy transition for him. Although I

759
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: will say when he was with the XFL, we actually

760
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: got into like a fight about this, a actual fight.

761
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: They did steak involved, but they did not provide any

762
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: There was not even any seafood option, So it's just

763
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: a chicken and steak basically. Yes, do you know I said,

764
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: you can surely go out and get some takeout from

765
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: somewhere else and not eat the food there. Right, And

766
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: he goes, Brianna, I have like, I have this, I

767
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: have this food right in front of me. I'm like,

768
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. I cannot believe I no, I had

769
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: to call one of my best friends. They're gonna say

770
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: the team. Oh, I had to call one of my

771
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: best friends. It was like, you didn't call the team

772
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I was like, how dare you? What

773
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: if this is against someone's like actual religion, that's true,

774
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: very true? Like are they serious right now? I was

775
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: actually upset, like, actually upset? Do you have to call

776
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: your best friend? I'm like, please call me down? Like,

777
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: she goes, are you seriously upset about this? And I

778
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: was like, are you seriously not backing me up on this? Right?

779
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: It was like it was a fight. So funny. He's

780
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna hear this and be like, oh, yeah, that was

781
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: awful because I was actually really upset. He's sitting in

782
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: this different stating this piece of chicken, and he's just like, yeah, yeah,

783
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: for sure. No, he didn't eat steak. He was just

784
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: eating chicken, which is fine. It's fine. Um, well, I

785
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: mean Storm honestly seems like a character. He seems like

786
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: he has such like a funny personality. I know you

787
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: said he's kind of shy, but once you get to

788
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: know him, I mean, obviously you're his wife. He's very

789
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: goofy and that's adorable. But tell us one thing that

790
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: nobody knows about the Storm Norton. I feel like some

791
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: people do know. Um, he wears a size eighteen shoe,

792
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: which is absolutely what does that look like? Well, our

00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: friends will come home and be like, oh, yep, this

794
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: is their place. I see Storm's massive shoes out here.

795
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: Is that like the si as of your forearms? They're boats?

796
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 1: It's a boat. Yeah, actually no, it's longer than my forearm.

Speaker 1: like a spinning image of his father one hundred percent,

835
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,320
