Speaker 3: Well, it's good. I got my Phillip talking football and

Speaker 3: you guys want to ask.

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Men you in this podcast. I don't care about the

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: Falcons defense. We do for our jobs. We do.

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: Anyways, we're going to rewind back to your childhood to start. Okay,

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: so you have a very interesting Yeah, moved around quite

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: a bit casually, Yes I did. Yes, Why was that?

35
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: So? My father was in the Air Force and so

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: he was stationed at Travis Air Force Base in the

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: Bar area. I was born in Walnut Creek. And you know,

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: most military, if you know about the military, they usually

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: move around bases about three to four years. And that's

40
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: what we did. We moved all over and I spent

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: up bunch time overseas, spent close to four years and

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: Turkey at Insulic Air Force Base, five years at Clark

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: Air Force Base in the Philippines, and then before that,

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: when I left California. I think I was four years old,

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: did a stint at Fairchild Air Force Base in the

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: state of Washington, right outside of Spokane, Washington. And so

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: then after we were done with our tour overseas, my

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: mom really enjoyed the Northwest in the state of Washington,

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: and so we ended up moving back to Spokane, Washington,

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: and that's where I went to high school and then

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: played college football a Eastern Washington. And now, of course

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: my career coaching takes me all over the place, and

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: so everything that my parents did to me as a

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: young kid, I've done to my kids, and now my

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: kids have been dragged around I think about six or

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: seven different states in the last twenty years.

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: Honestly, you learned something about yourself when when that's kind

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: of the lifestyle. I know you're you're very young, but

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: what memories do you have of or Turkey or the Philippines? Like,

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start, because that's pretty

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: interesting in and of itself.

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Well, I'll start in Turkey. The food is incredible.

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I want to make a Turkey show.

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: You still eat, uh, I still eat a ton of

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: you know, you know, Mediterranean, Persian food, you know, whatever

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: you want to call it. I remember being young and

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: walking off base with my family and just smelling the

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: shish kebab and the vegetables and it would just be

69
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 3: all over the marketplace and in the in the downtown

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: streets of u uh uh A Donna is what the

71
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: city is called outside of Insula Air Force Base. And

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: so I vividly remember that. I also remember, you know,

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: the culture there. You know, they they they pray you know,

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: at sun up and sundown and and even at at

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: noon and everyone's stopping what they're doing and putting the

76
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: you know, the rugs down and going through their prayer.

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: Vividly remember that. And so that's the things. And then

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: then actually the history of Turkey. There's castles from the

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: fourteen hundreds thirteen hundreds that are still up and that

80
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: is a big memory that has stuck with me really.

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: Oh and they showed like where the dungeons were and

82
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: where the king and the queen where they resided. That

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: was very interesting and it was awesome to see.

84
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: That's so cool.

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: And then when you go to the Philippines, that's actually

86
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: where if our research is correct, that's.

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: Where you picked up football.

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: That's where you start playing like youth football on the

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: base in the Philippines. What was that experience like and

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of how did you fall in love with the game,

91
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: because obviously American football is not probably not big in Turkey,

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: I don't know, never been, but also maybe not super

93
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: big in the Philippines either, so kind of what led

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: you to football?

95
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's usually a normal question I get from

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: people who don't understand, like the how the air bases work.

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 3: When you're on the air base, they're all Americans on

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: the airbase, so you're with American kids and you're playing

99
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: American sports. And so even going back to Turkey, you know,

100
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: I remember watching my dad played football with the other airmen,

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: and I started swimming there competition with my brothers. My

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: mom was my coach, and so my competitive juices started

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: early on and really probably started because I have a

104
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: twin brother. Yeah, and so we competed everything, not just sports,

105
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: but now you know, and then we so we do

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: go to the Philippines and I started playing tackle football

107
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: in the fourth grade flag football actually back in Turkey,

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: but tackle in the fourth grade, and then played tackle football,

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: you know, all the way through from there until college.

110
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: But around American kids playing American sports on an American

111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: air base just happened to be thousands and thousands of

112
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: miles away from the United States.

113
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Great, aren't the bases like a little community and then

114
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: off themselves where it's like you have everything you need

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: in that area.

116
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, they I'm trying to remember what they call

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: it right now, but I mean you have like it's

118
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: called a b X, So there's like a b X

119
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: which is now would be considered basically like a target,

120
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: but it's very similar to every American city you can

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: think of. You have you know, where you get all

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: the essentials, you can go shop, where you get your clothes,

123
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: you know, americanized clothes. So they try to make it,

124
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: you know, a little slice of America just thousands of

125
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: miles away.

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: Did you get to leave the base often?

127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, oh yes we did. Yeah, Like I had

128
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: mentioned in Turkey, we would go off base and go

129
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: visit all the castles, go visit the downtown streets, and

130
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 3: then same thing in the Philippines. A lot of really

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: cool beaches. You know, you're in the tropics now in

132
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: the far East, but there is even I remember going

133
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: to Bagiol Mountain there's a mountain with snow you wouldn't

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: think of in the Philippines and so we I remember

135
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: doing that as a kid.

136
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: That's a mine I can't comprehend, right, Yeah.

137
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it snows in Turkey too, which people wouldn't

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: think that either. Yeah, oh yes, I remember seeing it.

139
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: How much when when you think back to your childhood

140
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and I know at the time it was very normal

141
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: for you to have that upbringing where you're not just

142
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: like moving across state lines but internationally over oceans. But

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: how much of that time period in your life impacted

144
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: you in your adulthood and how you are able to

145
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe even like forge relationships very quickly.

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: Oh, no question, Yeah, learned early on. You know, we

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: would move so often, three every three four years, and

148
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: it was sad. You know, we'd have, you know, friendships,

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: you know, with kids at that early age, and all

150
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're like, well, I'm not going to

151
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: see them anymore right now. But we were able to,

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: you know, meet people quickly for those relationships. But also

153
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing I got was probably just

154
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: perspective as well, perspective of of how great this kind

155
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: of tree is. For one, not that those countries aren't great,

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: but you see, you know, you see how we take

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: care of our bridges in our streets and you know,

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: our buildings and our structures, and it gives you a

159
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: lot of you know, a lot of perspective on you know,

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: why we are the greatest country on the planet.

161
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting that you bring that up because the

162
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: recently Steve Cannon, who I know he's retiring, but he

163
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: was stationed in Germany for a long time, went to

164
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: West Point Big in the military, and he was talking

165
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: about how like the farther you get east, like when

166
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: you're going from like Germany, the closer you get to

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Russia's like where democracy and like authoritarianism like clashed like

168
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: head on, and you can see it in the infrastructure

169
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: of these places. So I think that's very fascinating that, yes,

170
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: it's that way in probably multiple different areas of the world,

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: but because of different circumstances.

172
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: Right, And you know, this is another point. When I

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: was in Turkey, you know, we we had just bomb Libya.

174
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: This was in the eighties. Oh wow, And when we

175
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: were leaving Turkey, we had F sixteen fighters escorting us

176
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: out of Turkey, and you know, there was you know,

177
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: there was always caution and sirens going off on the

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: base that we could be, you know, under attack. And

179
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: that's another perspective thing that I have. You know, as

180
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: we as I sit here and live in the United States,

181
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: is most of us go to bed at night not

182
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: thinking that, you know, there could be an airplane to

183
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: come over and drop a bomb on us. And and

184
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: so pay my taxes and I'm and I and I

185
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: and I pay them every every check gladly because I

186
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: know where I get to live.

187
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have chills. Honestly.

188
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: That's very inspiring and very powerful, but all fun. We

189
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: want to have some fun here too. You mentioned your brother,

190
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: your twin brother, and I love so twins kind of

191
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: sort of running my family, but not you know, not

192
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But what I think is really interesting

193
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: about twins is this idea of twin telepathy.

194
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: Do you, as a twin think it is real?

195
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 3: I do think it's real. Okay, I do think it's real.

196
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: All right, yes, I need to.

197
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: Well, there's probably more proof with my wife, who is

198
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: also a twin, which is she has an identical twin sister,

199
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: and I've heard a lot of stories between them. Two

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: about you know, you know, things that have happened, and

201
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: then they'll say it at the same exact time or

202
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: they were thinking this and they would call and it

203
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: was happening. And then between me and Jason, I think

204
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: it was more probably earlier as kids, where we just

205
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: kind of know the rhythm and rhyme of why we're

206
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: about to do something and we're on the same page.

207
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

208
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my gosh.

209
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: What was it like growing up with someone who I mean,

210
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: siblings is one thing, but like a true like built

211
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: in best friend that is were they best friends?

212
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: Though? I know zins I didn't get along. You did

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: say y'all were competitive?

214
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: No, Dad, No, No, we're best friends. Yeah, I know,

215
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: we're best friends. We know we are very very competitive,

216
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: very competitive, uh, which drove us to be you know,

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: really good in the sports that we played. And yeah,

218
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: and also in our professions too. You know, he's he

219
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: sells yachts and boats down in Tampa right now, and

220
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: he's one of the best in the country at doing it.

221
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: And I know it's his competitive drive that that that

222
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: makes him successful. But no, we uh, you know, we

223
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: we we had our battles too, you know, I mean

224
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: we're brothers. But uh, but I'll you know, going back

225
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: to all the moving around, I did have that built

226
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: in best friend, like you just mentioned, Tory had that

227
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: built in best friend, which really helped me. He actually

228
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: loves to talk way more than me. He has that

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: gift of gab. And so I would just like we

230
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: would move to a new place and I would just

231
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: kind of sit there and be quiet, kind of take

232
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: everything in and and see what's going on. And my

233
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: brother was there to he was he was the mouth

234
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: and he was going on and but it was comforting

235
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: that I had my best friend with me where wherever

236
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: we moved.

237
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: Were you a fraternal?

238
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: Were fraternal?

239
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: Okay?

240
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: Yep?

241
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: So but your wife is identical.

242
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: They're identical.

243
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: Did they ever pull any pranks on you? I love that,

244
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: souff yea all the pranks. Here's the thing.

245
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: We grew up in the era of Mary Kate Nashley,

246
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: so like twins are like the coolest thing for us.

247
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: They So I went to high school. We all went

248
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: to high school together. So my wife and I were

249
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: high school sweet arts. We didn't date in night school,

250
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: but we met freshman year, ninth grade, sixth period and

251
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: the class was called life choices. Wow, no way, and

252
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: it is we named one of our boat life choices.

253
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: Did you buy the boat from your brother?

254
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: No? I did not, actually come on, no, I know.

255
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: I have a pause to him as well. I was

256
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: all the way up in Seattle. It was a used

257
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: boat up in Seattle. I bought it up there, So

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 3: I know he's expecting me to buy a purchase one

259
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: here in the future.

260
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure we're closing up.

261
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, But going back to the pranks, I do

262
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: remember my wife Michelle, her twin sister, Wendy. They would

263
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: switch classes and so you know, the teacher wouldn't know,

264
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: they had no idea they would switch classes. And you know,

265
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: of course I had classes with them as well, and

266
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: early on I didn't know, but after a while I could.

267
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: I could tell the difference.

268
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to be able to

269
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: tell the difference between them?

270
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: As soon as I got to know them. I think

271
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: if with any twins, as soon as you get to

272
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: know them and you know their mannerisms, how they talk,

273
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: and then you you pick it up right away. But

274
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: like right from the get go, you're like, what is

275
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: going on here? You know they are mirrored, mirrored mirror

276
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: images of each other, and you can't tell. But I

277
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: would say it took me a few months and then

278
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: and then I now, I know.

279
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: Are any of your kids twins?

280
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: They are not.

281
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: They're not, So it's the next generation.

282
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: I don't know how it works. Actually, you know it's

283
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: It's funny because this conversation always comes up. I'm not sure.

284
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how it happens. And if you guys know,

285
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 3: that'd be i'd I would love to hear the information.

286
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: But they say it skips or it runs this next one.

287
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: I think it feels like it's just it just happens.

288
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: But random. I don't know. Genetics are weird. Maybe yes,

289
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you.

290
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: I always wanted twins, but now I'm like, that sounds thankful,

291
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: angel and stressful. I'd be the one that would mix

292
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: them up. I had to like paint a toenail a

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: certain colored. I know that's what they do with like

294
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: identical babies. I thought you were going to say, like

295
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: across the forehead. Oh, but no, that's more obvious. Well

296
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: it's funny too, because like by the time that you

297
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: are in high school, y'all, y'all settle into like Washington

298
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: and y'all are there for the remainder of your adolescent years. Like,

299
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: what was it like to to not like, not have

300
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: to move, leave and move and you can put roots

301
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: down right right?

302
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have guess I haven't really reflected on that,

303
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: but it was nice to go through, you know, my

304
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: high school years in one high school, yeah, and not

305
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: have to leave because, as I'm sure you all know,

306
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: as you get older, you know, those friends it was

307
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: even getting even tighter as you be sure and all

308
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: those things, you know, as opposed to being friends with

309
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: somebody when you're five years old. You know that's probably

310
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: not kind of right, yeah, you know, it fills out

311
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: pretty quick, but and so yeah, I know it was.

312
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: It was. It was very nice to be able to

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: be in one spot for you know, those four years.

314
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: But then quickly I went to college and so now

315
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: you know, I'm moving again, right and starting a career

316
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: and started moving then. But but I will say it

317
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: was it was definitely nice still having those friendships that

318
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: I still have this to this day. And I married

319
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: one of my friends, right.

320
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it ended up working out. The roots were like

321
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: everything was good.

322
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Yes, when you kind of think about that time, too.

323
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Your dad was still active serviceman, and I believe was

324
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: stationed in South Korea for a little bit and was

325
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: away from the family. And what was that like too,

326
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: because I imagine like for a long time y'all are

327
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: together and then he is off deployed and you don't

328
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: get to see him or talk to him as much

329
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: as you did previously.

330
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean it's it's it's tough. There's no other,

331
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: you know, easy word to say, except it was tough. Uh,

332
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: you know. They actually my parents divorced when we came

333
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: back to the States, and so I know, it's the

334
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: state of Washington. We went to high school there. He

335
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: finished some service down in Waco, Texas, and then finished

336
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: up in South Korea back into the Far East, and

337
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: then he would come visit now and then. But no,

338
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: it was it was very challenging, very challenging for him

339
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: not being there, and then obviously challenging when when my

340
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: when my parents.

341
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Split, right, yeah, do you look back on that time

342
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: and kind of see the lifestyle, the military lifestyle and

343
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: kind of the routines of it, and maybe things that

344
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: even your dad instilled as a child you still kind

345
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: of abide by today.

346
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. The discipline. Yeah, that's that's the biggest

347
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: one that I'd give him credit for that. You know

348
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: that most military people are right, they're disciplined, they go

349
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: through their process, and yeah, that that's definitely my style

350
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: of the way I go about things, whether you know

351
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 3: I'm coaching or at the house cleaning up things. Everything's

352
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 3: got to be a certain way, or you know, making

353
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: your bed, you know, every morning, all those things. He

354
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: definitely instilled that discipline and that structure in me.

355
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: Are your clocks in military time?

356
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm not a fan. It's so funny. My

357
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: oldest son he's actually a fan of that. And when

358
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 3: he uses my car he always changes like it to

359
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: the military time, and I can't figure out how to

360
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: put I'm not a fan of the military time. I

361
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 3: like the regular things. I like the AM and the PM.

362
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: I'm good.

363
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: I need to know if it's a night or morning

364
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: to duck the.

365
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: Time, I don't know, you know, it's like whatever six hours,

366
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 3: take off the twelve or whatever it is. Yeah, I

367
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: don't need that.

368
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Did you ever debate taking the military route given since your.

369
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: Father was No, No, I did. My my father he said,

370
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: so he you know, enlisted right out of high school,

371
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: and he told us early on, he said, go to college,

372
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: and I don't want you guys going right into the

373
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: military out of high school. He goes, if you go

374
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: to the military, you go to college first, get your degree,

375
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: and then go into the military. And so that that

376
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: was how he told us and how he guided us.

377
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: But as soon as I went to college, played college football,

378
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: I got a business degree. My whole mindset was I

379
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: wanted to be in some sort of business. But then

380
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: all my coaching staff that I played for brought me

381
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: in my senior year before I was finished playing and said,

382
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: you know, you're a captain, you know defense, you know

383
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: football inside. Now these guys, these guys follow you. You're

384
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 3: a leader. You need to be coaching. And so then

385
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: I started off coaching, and here I am, twenty five

386
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: years arlier. I'm so coaching.

387
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: What's hilarious about this, though, is that there was a

388
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: time period between graduating college and starting your coaching career

389
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: where I believe you worked for a minor league baseball team.

390
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: Yes, I did, okay, and I loved every minute.

391
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: I need to know, because minors Spoka Indians is awesome.

392
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a Kansas City Royal's affiliate, and so

393
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: what I was doing was I was asking finishing up

394
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: my degree. So I started as a true freshman at

395
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: Eastern Washington University, got finished playing. It took me five

396
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: years to get my business degree. So during that fifth year,

397
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: I actually was an undergraduate assistant for the football team.

398
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: And then one of my classes was to sell baseball

399
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: tickets for the Spoken Indians baseball team. And I would

400
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 3: go do that for credit, but also I would get

401
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: paid for it, and so I do only I'd only

402
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: go in there for four hours a day, but they

403
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: had the they had the big board up like, hey,

404
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: who's sold this mini tickets? You know they have the

405
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: whole deal and guys, oh yeah. So the employees were

406
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: there all day long. I was only there four days

407
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: and guess who the number one salesman was. Let's go

408
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: and I I loved it. I would go out and

409
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: meet with businesses, sell boxes, sell suite, sell tickets, and

410
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 3: I remember all the guys in the office. I still

411
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: talk to those guys to this day. Uh, they were

412
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: just there. They were wild. They couldn't believe that I

413
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: was getting all these sales in such a limited time.

414
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: So what was your go to pitch? Like, I try

415
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 2: to sell us for the bo what was it the Indians?

00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: What should I do that?

421
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: Giving you a backstory that you have to know who

422
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: you're selling to in order to like, they speak their language,

423

Speaker 2: Better not be behind a pole.

00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: It's definitely not one of the best seats in the als.

430
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,800

435
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 3: in the ballpark, it's still funny. As soon as they

436
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: have that experience and then they want more. It's funny

437
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,920
