Speaker 1: one out there. But beyond that, you know, we're gonna

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: talk about hits like Kareem Jackson and this this double

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: suspension and one season, the latest suspension coming up from

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: from a hit on a quarterback. I'm not saying the

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are getting softer, the league is getting softer. But

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: rules need to be changed, you know, I find I'm sure,

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: but come and suspend them a little tough. And of

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: course we're gonna talk about you know who we're bringing

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: up next on this episode. I got my dog, you know,

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: for former player uh drafted to the Chargers when they

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: were back in San Diego, came to the New Orleans Saints,

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 1: and then beyond that, just a phenomenal god fearing Christian man,

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: my dog, my oos Mantaiteo. So tune in taping off

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: the edge of Me, Cam Jordan. So let's obviously get

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: to what I want to talk about, right Thanksgiving Week.

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding.

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about It's Rapper week versus the Falcons, Saints

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: versus Falcons rivalry. I'm not sure what the score is

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: for for the you know, the historical purposes. As far

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: as I know, I think I am thirteen years in.

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: This will be the twenty fifth time I played the Falcons.

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I believe I'm sixteen and eight against the Falcons. I

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: don't know if you know that that's two to one.

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: That means I'm sixty six percent chance of winning. I

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: like them odds. I love them odds. For the Saints,

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: they've got Desmond Ritter, you know, Drake Kyle, Drake Lennon,

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. Uh. You know they just drafted another top

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: ten guy, another you know, a kid out of Arizona.

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: So I hate to have to deal it to him

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: because we're from Arizona. But one have to try and

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: lock him all the way down. B Jon Robinson, Dude

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: is dude is showing some talent as a rookie coming

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: out of University of Texas.

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: It's a whole nother thing. But this rivalry. Who I said,

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,959

Speaker 1: car I'll come to who that We love you Saints.

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: Nation's the best nation. Kim. You've been here so long.

00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: fixes you. Let me get you no height beyond the turkey,

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for the turkey. I need a fried falcon.

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I need a dirty bird leg I need.

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: I need to go ahead. Matt Ryan.

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: Need to go down, baby, baby girl, Matt Ryan, don't

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: don't play for the for the Falcons no more. I

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: need that quarterback go down. Who's that quarterback, Taylor Hanneke, No, ma'am.

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I believe it's Desmond Ridder. Yeah, Riddler, Riddler. Riddler needs

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: to go down. Okay, all right, we're gonna have to,

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, be on a piece of q's dot our

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: i's cross our t's to get this job done.

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: Because what we have been doing is letting quarterbacks escape

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: on us for some reason. And that's on the D line.

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: So that starts right here with me.

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: You know what we have to do is lock them

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: down because this rivalry means more than just you know,

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: more than just a game.

80
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: This this is.

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: The epitome of black and gold versus black and red.

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: This is the epitome of the cities don't really mess

83
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: with each other because of this game. You know, like

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: guys go out their way to hate on Atlanta, Atlanta

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: goes out their way to hate on Norman Saints. You know,

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: I might as well call them diet Saints at this point.

87
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: They've got half our D line from last from previous years.

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: They've got David on your motto. They've got you know,

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Albert Huggins. They had Jalen Dalton at one point. You know,

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: they took a linebacker, Kayen Ellis.

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: They got the previous D line coach is now the

93
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: DC over there.

94
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Sounds like the Falcons bought into the Saints way honestly,

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, can you. I mean, there's just so

96
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: many points. There's been times where I've flown into the

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Airport I'm like, oh, you're a good player.

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: But we don't like you. And I'm like, dang, I

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: love to do a step off the plane. I'm just

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: having a connection. I'm not here. Mm hmm, Cam huh, Well,

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan gone, what you're gonna do? Now? Why are

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: you upset that you guy retired?

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: Sure?

104
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: Me and him, you know, have such a special connection

105
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: where I've sacked him more times than anyone defender has

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: sacked the quarterback before, with the staggering number of twenty

107
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: three times. That's not on me, you know, that's all

108
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: your guys for not protecting them. But I just think

109
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: that when it comes down to it, you know, even

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: previous years where we've had a bad year, there's been

111
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: times where we washed Atlanta and the city is still good.

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Like you walk into a place and they'll.

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Be like, hey, we'll get him next year, but just

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: know we like them.

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: Two times we beat Atlanta.

116
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, I can remember two years ago, Matt Ryan's

117
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: last game we played against him, end of the season,

118
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: we beat we beat Matt Ryan, got to sack all him.

119
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's jogging off. I jogged behind him, just like,

120
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: hey man, you know, just talking to him. Always been

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a good guy, appreciated for all the sacks, you know,

122
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: added to the career tally, but you know, just didn't

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: realize that was gonna be Matt Ryan's last game. But

124
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: it was like at the end of that we needed

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: that win the most. They always It happened at the

126
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: end of the season too, so it means that much more.

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I can't I can't wait for this weekend.

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: So let's move on, you know, and get to Kareem

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Jackson or a second suspension of the season. About the

130
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: hit off the hit that he put on Josh Dobbs

131
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings.

132
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: It gets frustrating at times when.

133
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: You see a guy like Kareem Jackson get suspended for

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the second time in one season. Find him, Okay, the

135
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: flag was not the flag was not thrown, It did

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: not peede on the what the Broncos defense was trying

137
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: to do to the Minnesota Vikings offense. And at that point,

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs had declared sort of as a running back,

139
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: and in that there was a whole bunch of bodies around.

140
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: So Kareem comes flying in being a relentless pursuit defender.

141
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: It's sure his head placement might not have been in

142
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: the right place, whatever that is, So find him and

143
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: move on. Tell them to hey, keep your head up

144
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: or else we're gonna keep going taking your money. But

145
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: to suspend him a really good player for the defense

146
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: of the Denver Broncos.

147
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Come on, man, that's depending on the game. We're just

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: trying to have a good game. We're just trying to

149
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: be the best players that we can be.

150
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: You know, we take that out of it, and now

151
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: you're telling coaches like you know, coaches telling defenders, Hey,

152
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: you know the vice tackles or keep your head out

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: of it or whatever this is.

154
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: Coaches are like, hey, how do I coach this where

155
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: it used to be?

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, like, let's just focus on as an offensive player,

157
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: Like hey, you know and if maybe in high school, college,

158
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: whatever it was, maybe you focus on how office player

159
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: should receive those hits.

160
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: You know.

161
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady started talking about, you know, not not placing

162
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 1: a ball in the middle from you know, having guys

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: like ray Lewis, Ronnie Lotts, you know, all these these

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame players, because you're like, yo, if you

165
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: throw this bottle middle, you place it in the middle,

166
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: You're really good. Player is gonna go really fast.

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: I think I look at a lot of players like

168
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: ray Lewis and Rodney Harrison and Ronnie Lott and guys

169
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: that impacted the game in a certain way, and every.

170
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: Hit they would have made would have been a penalty.

171
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: Your coach is complaining about their own player being tackling

172
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: and not necessarily, why don't they talk to their player

173
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: about how to protect themselves. We used to work on

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: the fundamental of those things all the time. Now they're

175
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: trying to be regulated all the time. Offensive players need

176
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: to protect them Sell, it's not up to the defensive player.

177
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 5: To protect offensive player.

178
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: A defensive player needs to protect them Sell, I didn't

179
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: throw the ball to certain areas because I was a

180
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: great Players are going to get knocked out.

181
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 5: That's the reality.

182
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: I didn't throw it to the middle.

183
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: When I played ray Lewis because you knock them out

184
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: of the game and I couldn't afford to lose a

185
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: good player.

186
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's fighting for every yard. This is a game of inches,

187
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: right fourth to one third or whatever?

188
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: Game of inches? Do I have time to think about

189
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: my body.

190
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Position where there's running back is lowering his body to

191
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: create contact.

192
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: No.

193
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: The lack of consistency causes confusion, you know, it's just

194
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: what do you think about what this game is. I'm

195
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: running as fast as I can. They're running as fast

196
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: as as the office is running as fast as they can.

197
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: They're trying to create big plays. I'm trying to create

198
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: a turnover or force a turnover. I don't have time

199
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, did I go across the bout?

200
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Did I keep my chin up while I was trying

201
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: to place my chest within his chest also higher lower

202
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: than his chin, and my helmet did not slide up

203
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: and tag him. I don't have time for that. I'm

204
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: moving as fast as I can. When you think about

205
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: eleven defenders running to the ball, relentless pursuit, relentless pursuit

206
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: doesn't equal Hey, let me size up and make sure

207
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: that the offensive player is okay. And I asked him

208
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: as he's falling, are you going to be all right

209
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: while I try to adjucate the.

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: Ball from his I don't have time for that. It's

211
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: just ridiculous.

212
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit this man, and I'm going in

213
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: with ill intentions, with the smile.

214
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,359
Speaker 2: On my face. Like to play defense.

215
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: You have to be a little like, you know, loose

216
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: in the head. You've got a couple of screws, just

217
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: look slightly unhands. You have to embrace that, you know,

218
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: and these flags happening hurting the team because I'm trying

219
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: to play my butt off. You have that that come on, man,

220
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: like you stop making stop making guys confused and or soft,

221
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: and let the guys be guys. Let the words be

222
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: worris and let it keep on rolling. We gotta keep

223
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: on doing this. I'm just saying, let us play ball.

224
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: And when would come back from the break, My guy,

225
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:32,120

241
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: you played there. You were should have been, in my mind,

242
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy winner. You had a Heisman push you

243
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: don't say a runner up if you will, but the

244
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040

Speaker 1: I can never get that Linebacker Award, Merik Award. Bro,

00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,400

255
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,320

256
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 5: Bro.

257
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: You get drafted in the second round to the San

258
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,880

Speaker 1: not seeing Ago no more? Are you d la Chargers?

260
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,839

00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: with New Orleans, I was still living in San Diego.

264

Speaker 3: I would send you the pictures of my tacos at oscars,

265

00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: supposed to come out many at times. And then we

267
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: moved and you refuse to come out here in the

268
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: cold snow. So we're gonna have to link up in

269
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: San Diego.

270
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get out there.

271
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:23,920

274
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: we gotta take you on the slopes. I know, you know,

275
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: you know, you've got the elite level of athleticism. The

276
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: only de Lineman to know, the only de Linen that

277
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: I know leads the conditioning and the half gasser. So

278
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: you definitely could make it down the hills.

279
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: I look see that, but I'm not I'm not conditioned

280
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: for snow film. Bro.

281
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: We played that one game in Cleveland and it changed

282
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: my Like it solidified my perspective on nobody should play

283
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: in colde games. But it also changed my life in

284
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: terms of I was like, I can't be in America anymore.

285
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: I left it and we lived in Spain this offseason

286
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: because of that Cleveland game. I said, I was like, Babe,

287
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: pack it up, take off. We're taking all four kids,

288
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: are your homeschooling, and we're leaving.

289
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: See just a little a little cam slight flex right there.

290
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 5: I decided I'm going to go to Spain. Pack your

291
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 5: stuff up.

292
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: See a lot of us can't make those type of decisions, bro.

293
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: You know, so you packed up a mood of utah.

294
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: You were like, this breeze feels too good.

295
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: Yo, okay, okay, But my decision was it was because

296
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: of living purposes. It was like, I don't have the

297
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: cam type of tax brackets, so we got to get

298
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: out of these high taxes and go to a lower

299
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: I I didn't just say let's go to Spain. You know, yeah,

300
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: we're not there yet.

301
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: You didn't freeze like I felt it was.

302
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: It was negative twenty eight. It was the coldest game

303
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: in Saint's history, the second coldest game for Cleveland. And

304
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: I said, wait, the fact that it was the second

305
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: coldest game for Cleveland, I should not be here.

306
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: Well, you remember I went to college.

307
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: Oops. You know, yeah, the negative temperatures, you know.

308
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, close that you chose. You're like,

309
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: ooh yeah, no.

310
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,520

00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: And I had everything to do with, you know, the

348
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: pat that I took personally to get back to where

349
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: I needed to get to. But the people that I

350
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: surrounded myself with, the people in that locker room, that

351
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,080

356
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: time that I felt that people saw me as a teammate,

357
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: you know, and not just a news clipping, you know

358

Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think it was a It was a

369
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400

370
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: And I remember man Sean was trying to make he

371
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: was trying to make a point, you know, that that year,

372
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: and I was just like, I remember thinking to myself.

373
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: I was like, so the year that I signed here,

374
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: you decided to bring the team back to New Orleans.

375
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: We had just done like three off seasons in Northern

376
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Virginia with all those training camps in Northern Vidia where

377
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: it was like sixty five and Sonny seventy sunny, and

378
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: we had like three years of back to back, back

379
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: to back to back losing seasons of seven and nine,

380
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: seven and nine, seven and nine, and he was like,

381
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, the older kid down was like, this is

382
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: the way you guys want to play. Tom Binson came down,

383
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: was like this is the way you got. You'll never

384
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: go back to Virginia again. And Sean Paygne was like,

385
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: you heard what he said. Now let's double down.

386
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: And I was like, Jesus that you came, remembro. He

387
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: came in and like we went days of straight hitting.

388
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: You know, we had to run off the practice field

389
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: because we were running out of time at practice in

390
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: that training camp.

391
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: So by the time we hit Cali bro for that

392
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: joint practice. Everybody was like, of.

393
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: This ith this all you guys do you only have

394
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: thirty plays?

395
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: Come on? No?

396
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 5: I remember I remember who was it.

397
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: He came off the edge and just thumped the running

398
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: back and I remember thinking, like Mark, it was Marcus, remember,

399
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: And there was like a whole the ruckus that broke out,

400
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: But I don't know they were.

401
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: They were upset, like Marcus, that comes off Hill's just

402
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: running back and judgers are like, this is not how.

403
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: We practice, like this how we practiced.

404
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: So no idea, but it was that.

405
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: I have that level of confidence that because of what

406
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: we went through, like you stand no chance, you know

407
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: what I mean? And that's what I felt like. It

408
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: helped us to get into that mentality of man, like

409
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: there's no way that you guys went through what we

410
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: went through, like having thirty forty plus people. I remember

411
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: after practice, like forty of us in there with ivs

412
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: just it looked like a scene from a movie.

413
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: And I just walked by.

470
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: routines and you know, hopefully the result would be what

471
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: I wanted it to be. I mean, the result was

472
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: always success just based off of the work ethic. And

473
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: so for me to do that and to have an

474
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: impact on people off of the field was exactly what

475
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: I would want my career to be like. While I

476
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: was at Notre Dame, and it's a special place and

477
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: it's it's nice now because we literally just got back

478
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: from South Bend this past weekend. I took my wife

479
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: and my babies out there, and you know what was

480
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 3: what's nice is my wife didn't know the Notre Dame me.

481
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: You know, she knew the NFL ME, and you know,

482
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: unfortunately the NFL ME didn't it didn't reach the heights

483
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: of the Notre Dame ME. And so when we go

484
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: back to South Bench, she gets to see like the plaques,

485
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: the murals that all of the trophies and but.

486
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: College not many people reached that level of success, not

487
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: like there's there's only a few cats, you know, like

488
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: not too many of you.

489
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: You heard what I said, third third in all times

490
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: the tackles.

491
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: Man like, yeah, yeah, it was, it was. It was

492
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 3: up there. It was like that that was what we

493
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: like to see as a summit, you know what I

494
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: mean when people when people talk about reaching the summit,

495
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: Like in my life for that time, like that was

496
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: the summit of college football. You know what I was

497
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: able to achieve and attain on a personal level and

498
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 3: on a team level, you know, to to make it

499
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: to the national championship. You know. Obviously we got whooped

500
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: up on by by Alabama, you know, and you know, I.

501

00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 3: I had a bad taste of Alabama for a long time.

503
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: And then I met Duce Stews and and you know,

504
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,560

Speaker 3: you know, too went there and so it was.

506
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 5: One of those things.

507
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: It was honestly to have my family experience it with me,

508
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: to people to know my name, my last name, and

509
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 3: to recognize my family in public, like that's.

510
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 5: For for a kid growing up in a small town

511
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 5: in Hawai.

512
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,439

00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: have that type impact.

514
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still don't understand this whole.

515
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,960

527
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,879

528
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760

529
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,639

Speaker 3: definitely gonna be in there. Talanoa is definitely gonna be

541
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: in there. You know, obviously there's still careers are still going,

542
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: but to be in the Polynesian Hall of Fame, it's

543
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: a big deal because.

544
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: Now life comes full circle.

545
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: You know, Like when I was a little kid, Troy

546
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: was my example of oh I could do it, you

547
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like to see Troy play at

548
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: play at USC and for him to be drafted to

549
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: the Stealers and watch his career you know, go as

550
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: it went and you know.

00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, you know, Pro Football Hall of Fame.

552
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: For me growing up as a little kid, you know,

553
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: I look up to those type of individuals, you know

554
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, man, if Troy can do it,

555
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 3: I can do it. You know, there's a way to

556
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 3: do it because he's he's kind of blazed that path

557
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: for me now to be in that position and understanding that,

558
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's kids back at home. There's kids

559
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: around the world that's looking up to me and say, hey, man,

560
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: I did it, I could do it.

561
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, for for like.

562
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: To come full circle that way just goes to show

563
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 3: that all the hard work and the sacrifices that myself

564
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: and my family you know, put in, you know, it

565
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: all paid off and hopefully, you know, we'll be able

566
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: to push the script with allowing younger the younger generations

567
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: to say, hey, we can do what he did and more.

568
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Let's.

569
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: Let's take it higher, let's take it further, and then

570
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: hopefully the next generation comes around and pushes that even further.

571
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what that Polynesian Hall of Fame

572
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: means for me. It's it's it's a it's a celebration

573
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: that all the hard work was was was worth it.

574
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it's just another.

575
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: Flag up there to tell those kids that's behind me

576
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:47,560

583
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: you know, with that is like when we die, like obviously,

584
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: the only thing that stays here is our names and

585
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: the stories that people tell about us, and you know,

586
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: their interactions with us, you know what I mean, And

587
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: so I always wanted those interactions and those stories to

588
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: be positive, you know, to be like, man, my life's

589

590
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: Camp and I and you know, you know how I

591
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: feel about you.

592
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: You know, you know that the impact that you've had

593
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: on me and my family, and you know, when a

594
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 3: documentary came out, like you was one of the first

595
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: people that I text, you know, just say hey Oosh,

596
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't be where I'm at if it wasn't

597
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 3: for you personally, you know, like taking all of us

598
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: to the jay Z concert, like you have no idea.

599
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 3: So I like how much that concert changed my life,

600
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: Like where I was at that time, and you invited

601
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: me just being around the fellas, I was like, okay, cool,

602
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 3: like getting to know my teammates. But then the spiritual

603
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 3: journey that that that concert had on me, because obviously

604
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: jay Z was going through his stuff with Beyonce and

605
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: he at a lot of people like saying this about him,

606
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: and I remember he started off the whole thing with

607
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: his dialogue and the narrative and he went through to

608
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: kill jay Z stuff, and I remember like just thinking

609
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 3: about it and listening to him, and I'm like, man,

610
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 3: those are some of the things that go on in

611
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 3: my head, you know what I mean. And then when

612
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: he ended it with saying, you can't heal what you

613
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: don't reveal, like, bro, that was just it was mind

614
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 3: blowing to me. And I'm like, bro, like that's what

615
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 3: I got to do.

616
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: And so from that.

617
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: Moment on, it was like my my whole life kind

618
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: of took a one eighty of Man, I'm looking about

619
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm looking at this thing to hold the wrong way,

620
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And it had everything to

621
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: do with that concert. And then you look at how

622
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: I played ball that year and look at you know,

623
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: and everybody would come to me, it's like, man, that's

624
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: a notre dame. Man tis playing. I was like, well,

625
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: in order for me to get here, there are events

626
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: that needed to take place, you know what I mean,

627
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: in order for me to get to display the space

628
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: mentally and emotionally. And that concert that you took me

629
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: to had it was a big, big part of that healing,

630
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: and so like again, it was like I never forget

631
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: the people that was there for me, and you was

632
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: obviously one of those one of those people, and that's

633
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: why I had to I had to pay my respects

634
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: to you and you as.

635
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: The you know, like like I said, one of.

636
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 3: The few people that I text.

637
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

638
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Bro, you you hit me and I didn't even know

639
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: the impact, you know, Like I'm like, yeah, bro, Like

640
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, like if I'm in if I'm in a

641
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: switeen d line.

642
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: And the suitet a, you know, the defense is always welcome.

643
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: We even open up to the office sometimes, you know,

644
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm all about that defense camaraderie because I think

645
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: that makes the team better when you know what your

646
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: brothers are going through, you know, like we bleed together.

647
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: Why would I not you know, why would I want

648
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: not want to know more about you as a person.

649
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: You know.

650
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: So it's always it's always that idea of building family,

651
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: but just that how did you even navigate?

652
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: Like bro, Like why do those words hit you so hard.

653
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: That when you when you when that documentary came out

654
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: earlier this year, Like how did you navigate that emotional

655
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: aspect of sort of having to relive through everything, right.

656
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well, you know it goes back to that

657
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: saying that jay Z said he can't heal what you

658
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: don't reveal, you know, and there's a lot of healing

659
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: that occurs when you can verbalize things, you know what

660
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean. I didn't realize how heavily I was. I was.

661
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: I was holding everything in and you can't heal it

662
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: when the poison is inside of you. You know, you

663
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: have to bring that poison out. And the amount of

664
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: healing that I did all the way up to that

665
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: point was enough for me to be comfortable in certain

666
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: certain circles. You know. There there was a time where

667
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: I wasn't comfortable in public, Like I literally would just

668
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: go to work, do what I had to do, come

669
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: home and just be a hermit, like I didn't want

670
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: to be around anybody.

671
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: Because like Locid, I know in New Orleans, big people person,

672
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: big heart person.

673
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

674
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: But what you need, I'm here for you. I got

675
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: you some food at your front door. I knocked on

676
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: your door.

677
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: Like you Yeah, And that's that's the that's the evolution

678
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: of it all. You know what I mean, like that

679
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: was who I am at my core. I'm a guy

680
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: who I love people, I love, you know, having great

681
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: experiences with my friends, creating memories with my friends. You

682
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: know that the hermit, that's not me, you know. But

683
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: in order for me to get from the hermit to

684
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: the guy who was just you know, love was excitement,

685
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: was just enjoying the process and being grateful for the day.

686
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: Like there was a transition and and and a journey

687
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: that I had to go on, and a lot of

688
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: it had to be done by myself, but there are

689
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: key moments where I needed somebody to be there with me,

690
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so like you're one

691
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 3: of those guys. Craig was one of those guys. Alex

692
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: was one of those guys that I really leaned heavily on.

693
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: And you said something.

694
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 7: That that that was so really you said you, I

695
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 7: want to know I had all of these experiences, You

696
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 7: would have all of these experiences with the team the

697
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 7: defense to.

698
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: Know what they're going through, right.

699
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: I think what took it a step further was you

700
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: don't even you didn't even know the impact that you

701
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: were making. You didn't even know what your teamates are

702
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: going through but because you had him around, you were

703
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: doing healing for him that you didn't.

704
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 5: Even know you were doing.

705
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. That's the quality of a

706
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: great leader, you know what I mean, just somebody that

707
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: understands that what happens on the football field, it's just

708
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: a result of all the things that we've done together

709
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: at dinners, you know what I mean, all the things

710
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: that we've done on the on the practice field. Man,

Speaker 5: Yeah, So it was, it was. It was a special transition.

721
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: It was a special journey, and it was a journey

722
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 3: that you know, made me into who I am mos

723
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: to to really appreciate genuine relationships, appreciate good people and bro.

724
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: Like again, our locker room was special, bro, you know,

725
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: and that's what I always tell people, like the locker

726
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: room in New Orleans is what made the success of

727
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: our team, you know, like how close we were and

728
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: so and now I always watch my boys, always watch

729
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: the guys on Sundays, and I'm like, they gotta have

730
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: fun again, you know what I mean. You have fun, celebrate,

731
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, just bring that energy. So

732
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: we were like, we was like, I don't care what

733
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: nobody says. We was the one who started that turn.

734
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Off for something. I think.

735
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: I think that's just that's that's already known, Like the

736
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: same started that. I don't know how you start, but

737
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: like that happened from from us. Boy, you know, Craig Roberson,

738
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: we out there with the big bucket of flowers, like Yeahewers.

739
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, we get an interception and like running in

740
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: and everybody rallied behind it.

741
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: And that for sure is the same thing. They still

742
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: do it as long as it's to a close end zone.

743
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm with the job. Like if you have the thirty

744
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: and we go to the you know, we go to

745
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: the end zone. Bat if we had.

746
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: The thirty and you turn around and you jogged seventy

747
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: no no, none, no no, SI you know.

748
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 5: What that reminds me of.

749
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: Remember when we had that goal line stand against Atlanta

750
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: and I recover that fumble. I remember we're on the

751
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: goal line twenty seventeen. That happened that twenty seventeen. That

752
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: was a second. That was the second Atlanta game. Remember

753
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: I picked the ball off and I started to run.

754
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: I ran to the opposite side of the field. I

755
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: don't remember as I'm running. I remember watching the clip

756
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: and your face was like, ooh, so would love I'm

757
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: with you, dog, But right there we still drop. Yeah,

758
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, that probably was a bad, bad decision

759
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: for me to run to the opposite.

760
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 5: You want to go?

761
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: You want to go ninety seven yards?

762
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just in the conditioning testing that. Yeah.

763
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: This thing you talk about emotional intelligence, you talk about

764
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: just the quality of of knowing who you are.

765
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: Bro.

766
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: You found that over the years, But like, how did

767
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: how did that come about? Or what is it now

768
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: that you have a unique perspective on what it is

769
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: to be because you've lived at the highest peak of

770
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: what an athlete is when everybody's looking up at you.

771
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: You're still balling everything about it too. You've had setbacks whatever,

772
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, the whole the whole cat fit situation to

773
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: coming back and we're getting drafted second round too, playing

774
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: your type of your brand of football here with it

775
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: or here previously with the with the New Orleans Saints.

776
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: Like what did that all take it to you? And

777
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 2: how do you look at the status of mental health now?

778
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 3: Well, mental health to me, right is when you're mentally healthy.

779
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: It's I like to think that there's not a lot

780
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: of voices in your head. You know, those that are

781
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: that are mentally unhealthy, it's because they have so many

782
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 3: voices in their head. They're kind of they kind of

783
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: get lost, they get lost in the sauce of like

784
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: man like whether it's they're they're they're at a certain

785
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: peak right and they think that there's something that they're

786
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: not or they're at a valley and there's so many

787
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 3: critics in their head that they can't just they can't

788
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: seem to shake it. And so I've been at both

789
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: right right now, the journey has allowed me to identify

790
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 3: all those voices, identify the sources of those voices, and

791
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 3: get them out. But now that the only voice that

792
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 3: I hear is mine, And when.

793
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 2: My voices like social media, your girl your family. You

794
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: know what. Oh, I got to take care of my parents.

795
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: Oh, like I need to be I need to be

796
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: this pinnacle of a player for me to be accepted.

797
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: You know, there's there's all types of pressures that are

798
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 2: equal voices in the head.

799
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: You said, you said voice. It made me think about

800
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: the first time we ever had a conversation. I was like,

801
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: all right, before you before you be a mic and

802
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: call these plays. Girlfriend was imagination or was she like that?

803
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: That's the story. So yeah, the voices like that's surrounding you.

804
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they're they're pressures and and they're also they're

805
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: the critics, and they're also the fans, you know what

806
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Because like when you're living on either extreme, Yeah,

807
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: whether they're dragging you or whether you have just like

808
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: ten sacks one game and they're like telling you you're

809
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: the greatest thing ever. Yeah, Like both of both extremes

810
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 3: are dangerous, you know what I mean, especially if it's

811
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: not the beliefs that you have in your head, like

812
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 3: the fact that I know who I am to a

813
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: point where there's nothing that the praise or the criticism

814
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 3: can sway me. Yeah, that is why I mean, like

815
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 3: mental health and you being so sure of what your

816
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: identity is, who you are as a person, that you're

817
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 3: not swayed either way.

818
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 5: Like that's you.

819
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: Know where I feel I got to that I that

820
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: I know who I am. There's nothing that you could

821
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: tell me that that's going to sway that, because I

822
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: was swayed a lot, and I kept swaying swinging. Eventually

823
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 3: I felt face flat, you know, and so I had

824
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: to literally pick myself back up and figure out, you know,

825
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 3: from score one, and build myself up from score one

826
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: from Birke one.

827
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 5: And again I had.

828
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: To do a lot of it by myself, but there

829
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 3: were people that helped me to to to to to

830
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 3: build that, you know, whether it be my family, my parents,

831
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: my siblings, my friends like yourself, my wife, you know,

832
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 3: my kids now you know. So it's a journey that

833
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: everybody must take. It's a journey that you know, I

834
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 3: hope that it doesn't take people as long as.

835
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 5: It took me.

836
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: But the journey is is what you know creates and

837
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: it modes, and you know, you'll be happy with the

838
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: final product. And and I'm definitely happy with with you know,

839
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: who I came up to be as a man. You know,

840
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 3: so for anybody that's going through mental health issues, in

841
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: order for you to be the best version of yourself,

842
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: you need to be internally the best version of you

843
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: because what happens outside is just a reflection of what's

844
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: going on inside, you know. And so that's that's kind

845
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: of my piece on that.

846
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro, Like.

847
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: You never know, you never know, like even talking about it, bro,

848
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: who you're affecting or you know, it feels like it's

849
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: a sermon at times, bro, Like that's just a message

850
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: somebody may need to hear, you know, in this in

851
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: this day and age, well, you know, we're starting to

852
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: unders understand this EQ or this even like I call

853
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty like I call twenty twenty on like the error

854
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: to be soft, right, and I sort of chuckle about it.

855
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: But it's literally like, you know, everybody's worried about other

856
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: people's opinions. Everybody's worried about everybody's you know, how I

857
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: affected the next person over or how are they affected me?

858
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: Or social media does this and all in all these

859
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: other circumstances where it's like.

860
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: Bro, know who you are and stand on it, you.

861
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: Know, like like live live your truth, live your life,

862
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: and you know, be blessed. Like there's so many ways

863
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: that can go. Life can always be worse and life

864
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: can always be better.

865
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: You know.

866
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: It's just like watching you after a game football film,

867
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: You're be like, Bro, I played terrible game. Film is

868
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: not going to be as good as you think it is,

869
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: and you're not going to be as bad as you

870
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: think it is.

871
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: Those days you're like, oh, I killed them.

872
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: I had four sacks that couldn't touch me, and you

873
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: walk on like, dang, I got locked up like three

874
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: or four times, bro, like or are close.

875
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: It could have been a seven sack game and all

876
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: I left was with three or four.

877
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 3: You know, like that's a great analogy. That is actually

878
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: a great analogy of of of of how life is right,

879
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, and like I never thought of that analogy,

880
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: but now that you put it that way, that's actually

881
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: the perfect analogy for it. It's never as bad as

882
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: you think it is, and it's never as great as

883
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: you think it is, you know. So like again, to

884
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: stay grounded in it all, to be grateful for it all,

885
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, like like life

886
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 3: happens for you, doesn't happen to you, you know, And

887
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: so you have the ability and the power to make

888
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: life what you need to make it. You know, you

889
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: could make it great. You could also make it a

890
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: living hell, you know what I mean. So you have

891
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: that power like people who let things happen to them

892
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: and say, oh, man, like I'm the victim, And I

893
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: was like, no, bro, you're the only You're only the

894
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 3: victim of your decisions, you know, because no matter what

895
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 3: you do to me, I still have the ability to

896
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 3: filter it and perceive it the way that I need

897
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: to perceive it in order for me to progress. Like

898
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna let anybody do anything to me, say

899
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: anything to me that's going to cripple me, and you know,

900
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: you know, stunt my growth as a person. And the

901
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: reason why I know that is because I used to

902
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: let that do it, do it, do it to me,

903
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And so that's what you

904
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: know for me. Mental health, I think it's it's it's

905
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 3: something that's important. I think some people look at it

906
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: as a as a reason to to do the things

907
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: they do. No, that's not what mental health is, you

908
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Mental health is you understanding who

909
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 3: you are the best version of yourself, the best form

910
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: of yourself, and you're doing all that you can to

911
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: get there. You know, it's not an excuse to do

912
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: stupid things, you know what I mean. That's not what

913
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: it is. You know what I mean, Like I don't

914
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: like what people say. Oh no, no, no, bro, That's

915
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: not what this is. It's understanding where I'm at and

916
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 3: where I need to get to and the things that

917
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 3: I need to do in order to get there, you know.

918
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 3: And so that's that's what I that I think mental

919
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: health is. It's it's it's for me to be the

920
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: best version of me to do the most good. You

921
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 3: know what, what can I what version of me brings

922
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: out the most good? What what what version of me

923
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: brings out the most production? That's that's what I need

924
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: to do. That's that's the person to bless me?

925
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: How can I be a blessing to others?

926
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 5: Exactly?

927
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: Brother, So I'm still breathing. I'm still standing you. I said,

928
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: you're a family man. Now that you know, I can't

929
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: say like football is over because I don't think football

930
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: ever leaves the blood. Now you've got a legacy if

931
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: you're own, bro, Like I said, Mary, my dog got

932
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,080

Speaker 3: You know, my princess softened me up, you know. But

955
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: then when my son came and with both of them,

956
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 3: immediately life took a turn from you was I immediately

957
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: wanted everything great in this world for my kids. I

958

Speaker 3: wanted everything that was great in this world I wanted

959
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 3: for them. But the person that the first thing that

960
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: needed to happen was I needed to be great, you know,

961
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: I needed to be the greatest version of me because

962
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: my kids aren't gonna remember what I tell them, but

963
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 3: they're going to remember what they saw me do. They're

964
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 3: going to remember how they saw Daddy work, how he

965
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: saw how they saw me walk through this life.

966
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 5: And so it was I was two ninety.

967
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:55,359

00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: that success. You'll never know because he's just so down

1112
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: Cam a professional athlete because his big self coming out

1113
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 3: of the small some small car sometimes. I remember he

1114
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 3: was rolling the suv sometimes and he was parking the

1115
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,279
