11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: from you know, when he hit rock bottom in college

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: and threw a punch on national television or when he

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: led the league in touchdown rushes for the New England Patriots.

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Le Garrett Blunt he is. You're not gonna believe this.

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt is in the CBD business, but it's

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: actually a good product and uh interesting interview. I think

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: you will fall out of your chair when he says

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady can't hold his liquor. But you may

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: already know that if you've seen him party after Super

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Bowl victories and he's got many of those, so La

00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt. Interesting interview. But before we get to that,

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: first shout out to the college basketball fans who are

Speaker 1: interview this week. Jee, who do you like to know?

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: college basketball, March Badness coming up. I mentioned there's an

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: upcoming Calcutta that I'm trying to wedge my way into.

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I should be able to um, we'll see college basketball,

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: you know. I get way into March Madness this weekend.

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: There's some good games, Championship week coming up. Then to

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: draw like it's rapidly approaching, so you gotta kind of

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: get up to snuff. It's like the kid who slacks

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: off all semester and then realizes, damn, I got the

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: final coming up in two weeks and I'm way behind.

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: If you're that guy, this podcast is for you because

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I have been paying attention to college troops. I know

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm writing a piece for Fox this

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: week about three undervalue teams that you want to bet

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: on in March Madness that can win it all. You

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: might want to get in your pool and your bracket.

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm a multiple bracket guy. I'm not gonna break that

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: down for you. I do it every year. You've got

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: to do multiple brackets. Um, I think I've had a

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: I think two of the last three years, I've one

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: bracket contest, simply because it's a numbers game. You enter

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: ten brackets contest, you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna win

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: a couple. You know it's it's gonna go well for you.

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: If you put one bracket in, good luck. You know,

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: upsets happen. And um, We'll do plenty on college basketball,

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: but a quick thing in the NBA. A lot of

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Sixers fans are excited, understandably, so they dropped another one

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty three last night on the Knicks National television audience.

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: James Harden nine and nine looks happy, looks slender. Does

54
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: not look like the hamstrings the problem. Joel Ebide and twelve.

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean hell, Tobias Harris even made shots. He's not

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: just running up and down the floor being a fourth man. Yeah,

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: he's no longer the three, Tybrese Max. He's taking that

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: roll over. Tobias Harris getting doing some things. Tyrese Maxie

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: obviously is becoming a player, you know, a real score

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: six Ers at seventeen threes. I just want to remind

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: people it was against the fading New York Knicks who

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: don't play a liquid defense. They are cratering towards the lottery.

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Injuries have crippled them. I've told you I think Thibodeau

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: is a goner. I will say r J. Barrett has

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: been a nice addition. He had a real good game again.

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: I like his his game. I don't know if he

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: works long term with Randall, but I would definitely buy

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: r J. Barrett stock. In other news, Um, yeah, I

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: know the Sixers fans are upset with me. Guys, I'm

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: just gonna repeat, You're gonna look great, great during this

71
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: regular season. You're just gonna absolutely crushed teams and you're

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna role them because you're built for the regular season.

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: As I've been saying, the playoffs are not the regular season.

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: You guys know that you're well aware of this. It's

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a different animal. I don't know if you

76
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: know Cleveland is going to pose much of a threat.

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: They have not played particularly well of late, but the

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: schedule does get a little more difficult for the Sixers.

79
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Miami neck on Saturday is going to be a big

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: one and it's on a back to back after Cleveland,

81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: and that's the trip to Miami. Then do they get

82
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: the South Beach flu before a big home game against

83
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Chicago then Brooklyn? Why is Brooklyn a big game? Well

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: not just a TV game, but drumroll please, Kevin Durant

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: expected back tonight for the Nets. He's back. The Ben

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Simmons stuff will see, Kyrie Irving stuff will see. We

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: don't We still don't know about Kyrie Irving and the

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: VACS mandate. I'm not going to dive into that garbage.

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: At this point, Kyrie should be playing, um Ben Simmons.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: It's crazily sounding like he may not be back, not

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: only for the Brooklyn Philly game, which we don't expect,

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: but like a week after that he might not be back.

93
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: And at that point you're just like, all right, dude,

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: are you really hurt? Like what's going on? Like we

95
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: thought it was just a mental health thing, a block

96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to play for the Sixers. And now

97
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, the deal has been consummated. Broke gotta

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: get on the court. And I mean, we know Kyrie

99
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: and kd can handle things by themselves, but you add

100
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Simmons to that. And there's a reason, folks that you

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: look at the Vegas odds, take a guess who the

102
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: favorite in the East still is Brooklyn. It's not the Sixers,

103
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: it's not it's the Vegas. I don't want to be

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: that guy who's like Vegas knows. But there's a reason

105
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the Nets have the best odds. They have a top

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: three player, top four player Kevin Durant, top fifteen player

107
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: in Kyrie, top player in Ben Simmons. Yes, he's the

108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: top twenty five player. They're going to be fine. Now

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: what gets interesting is the Miami Heat lost to the

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: Bucks close game, and up at the top of the

111
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: Eastern standings. Right now, Miami leads the Bulls, followed by

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: the Sixers and Bucks. That's a log jam. And if

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: you get the three seed, do you face Cleveland? Because

114
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, anybody would rather face Cleveland

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: than the Boston Celtics. The Raptors are a moderately interesting

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and then you've got the Nets at eight. I would

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I do not want the Bulls to face the Nets

118
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: in the first round. They will lose that series. Okay,

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I like the Bulls a lot this year. You guys know,

120
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I go back to the season preview. I love the

121
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Bulls this season. I'm a Zach Lavine guy through and through,

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: love his game. They're they're They're not beating the Nets

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: in the series. That's for sure. That's not happening. Um.

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: But I I've said the Sixers are going out in

125
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: the first round. Listen, if they play the Celtics, that's

126
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a hell of a series. It's gonna be

127
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: really the Celtics a great, great defensive team. I don't

128
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: know how much you guys look at the advanced stats,

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: but point differential number one in the East, Boston Celtics.

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: Ken not kempom, I'm sorry, five eight. Their numbers are

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: a little wonky. They have the Celtics number one in

132
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: the NBA number one, they're only sixth in the East.

133
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: That the numbers are screaming Boston Celtics. If the Sixers

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: face the Celtics in the first round, that is a

135
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: hell of a series. I can't imagine that they faced

136
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: the Bucks um or the Nets. But we'll see. Listen,

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: the East is crazy now A quick word before we

138
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: get to Legarrett Blunt on the Western Conference. Pelicans win.

139
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Last night, Blazers lose, and now the Pelicans are the Tennessee.

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Now this is a little spicy. Pelicans one and a

141
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: half behind the Lakers for nine, Portland's two and a

142
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: half behind the Lakers. Portland's out currently. That being said,

143
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: there is a website called Tanka though, and they do

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: remaining schedule strength. The Lakers have the second hardest schedule

145
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: left in the NBA. Number one is Milwaukee. Number two

146
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: is the Lakers. Number three is Chicago. Number four is Boston.

147
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: So we're gonna learn a lot about um Chicago and

148
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Boston here down the stretch. We we we know what

149
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is. We'll see if Lopez rechards. But the Lakers

150
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: second toughest schedule. Guess who has the easiest remaining schedule.

151
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: It's the Portland Trailblazers. They played the Rockets twice, that

152
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: should be two wins. The Pistons okay, see twice, the

153
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Spurs three times. All those teams are basically given up

154
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: on the season. So Portland easy schedule, if you're wondering,

155
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: New Orleans is right around the middle there. Six so again,

156
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down and make this about

157
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers again, but folks, there's a scenario where the

158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Lakers Lebron subs. His tone is out a week and

159
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers are probably gonna miss the playoffs. You know,

160
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I know Vogels talking about Anthony Davids is gonna be back.

161
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you, Frank. When a d

162
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: comes back, they've got this. But he's not back yet,

163
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: and it's getting to be crunch time. Twenty one games

164
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: left for the Lakers, twenty for Portland's, twenty for New Orleans.

165
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Bottom of the West, top of the East. Super interesting.

166
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Right now, that's enough on the NBA. Let's get to

167
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: today's guest, former NFL running back Legarrett Blunt. Jason likes

168
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: to think he knows everything when it comes to sports.

169
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I know what sports stands want, but for everything he doesn't.

170
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: He knows a guy who does. Let's just say I

171
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: know a guy who knows the guy he knows another guy.

172
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome into straight fire. A running back

173
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: who you surely remember from the New England Patriots. You

174
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: probably remember from his time with the Oregon Ducks, and

175
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: then he's in the CBD business, which you guys are

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna love to hear about. Le Garrett Blunt. What is up,

177
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: my man? What's good? Man? I appreciate you guys having me,

178
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: oh man, the pleasure of being here. Yeah. Listen, hey,

179
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: anytime we can talk to a former NFL rushing touchdowns

180
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: champion who spent a lot of time with Brady and Belichick.

181
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, he got to bring him in. Man, I

182
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: see we're in. I'm talking to La Garrett on zoom

183
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: and he's wearing a Super Bowl champion sweatshirt of the Patriots.

184
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Would you like to start there, La Garrett? I got

185
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: so much Super Bowl gear, man, I got so much.

186
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: I got so much gear from New England and and

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: and I just I mean, I've given a lot of

188
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: weight about my dad and my family members and stuff,

189
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: but I just got so much of this. So whenever

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: he gets a little chilly out here, I'm amazing around

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, the mid fifties. And then um, then I

192
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: pulled him out. I I see, all right, let's let's start. Obviously,

193
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: you know you spent time with Bill Belichick, and he is, um,

194
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: you know, the greatest coach in NFL history. Man, he

195
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: would say, but he is known for being a strict disciplinarian.

196
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, you also played under Chip Kelly at Oregon.

197
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: I am just curious how you would characterize your time

198
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: with Belichick in New England. Um. And again, a lot

199
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: of people have loved him and a lot of people

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: have you know, said he's really a hard driver. Um.

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: But that was your time with Belichick. Bill was amazing, man, Um.

202
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I loved every bit of um. You know, just you know,

203
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: one of the things that resonated with me the most

204
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: was his honesty, his transparency and just him mean, you know,

205
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: straightforward and a straight shooter. Um. All he asks is

206
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: for you to work hard, you know, grind, no know

207
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: your stuff. We never time to know it, um, and

208
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and just do what you need to do. Um. I

209
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: think everybody would pretty much have a good you know,

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: everybody's experienced, they would be pretty good. That was there,

211
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, that was their mentality. But obviously it's not.

212
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird. I look at your your stats,

213
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, you can call it the bunts NFL stats

214
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: and you know, my modest you have a thousand yards

215
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: season in Tampa, which was great, and then modest numbers

216
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: and then boom, eighteen touchdowns eleven hundred yards with the Patriots.

217
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: I am curious, like, you know, you were a two

218
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: star recruit coming out of high school. I saw, according

219
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: to rivals, you end up leading over thousand yards twice

220
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The path that got you here, Le Garrett,

221
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: it's got to be a pretty good one. Almost feels

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: like it's worthy of a book or something. Right, maybe

223
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: a movie. Oh man, so that would love for her

224
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: to be a movie called chest Uh No, Man, it's definitely. Um,

225
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: it's definitely a blessing. Um. I have been very blessed.

226
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously I had to have a lot of

227
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: things go my way, um in order for me to

228
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: get into the position that I was in, um in

229
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. But you know, man, it's it's it's been

230
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: a blessing, you know. And was growing up, I thought

231
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: I was better than a lot of the guys that

232
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: was ranked ahead of me as far as uh, you know,

233
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to start three, start four start type thing. Um, I

234
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: thought it was better than all those guys. Um. I

235
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: went in I went into college, you know, feeling like

236
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: I was the best running back. I went into the

237
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: draft feeling like I was the best running back. Um.

238
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, so I've always I've always had that chip

239
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: on my shoulders because I haven't always gotten in the

240
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: respect or the credible bit of credibility that I deserved.

241
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: You know that. My my resume, my resume resonates. I

242
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: am curious. Do you think you didn't get the respect

243
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: because you know, what of your size? Did they think

244
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you didn't have a position? What do you think that

245
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: was all about? Coming up? Um? I don't know. Man,

246
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I came from a small place. UM, I wanted to

247
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: a seven seven thousand or less people in my hometown.

248
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that, it wasn't that big. I'm the

249
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: only person that's ever come out to um make an

250
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: actual NFL roster and and playing some games. So you

251
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: know that that that says you know, that just says

252
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, just for me in general. UM.

253
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, because every year you see these you know,

254
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: these kids come out and they think, you know, everyone

255
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: wants to go to the NFL and everyone wants to

256
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: play on the big games and all that good stuff.

257
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: But if we're being realistic and we've been honest with ourselves,

258
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't happen very often. I mean I'm

259
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: looking up Madison, Florida on the map, and geez, you're right.

260
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: It is in the middle, in the middle of nowhere.

261
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: Is that harsh? Yes? Now you and that's that's that's big,

262
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: that's big. Modest um. Um, I was born in Madison,

263
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: but I grew up in Perry Perry Perry Ford is

264
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: is the place that I grew up in. And and

265
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: that's that's probably thirty minutes apart. Um. But um, that's

266
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: it's just you know, small town. Um. It does have

267
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: a little diversity, um, not a lot. Uh. Well, you

268
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: weren't like the only black kid in your in your

269
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: football team. Oh no, no, um no, I wasn't only

270
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: black kid. We didn't. You know, it wasn't fifty fifty.

271
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: But I definitely was nonly black. Okay, Because it looks

272
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: like it's about it's a little ways away from Tallahassee,

273
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: so you're growing up kind of not quite the shadow

274
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: of f s U. But this is football country obviously, right,

275
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: like fifty minutes awaye uh, you know, five minutes away

276
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: or something like that close an hours. It was was

277
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: about was a bouting still there when you were nice?

278
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bout was there and did they give you

279
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: a look or anything? Did you even get a courtesy?

280
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: And I didn't get it. I didn't get an offer

281
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: from Florida State. And so after I went to junior college.

282
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: M hmm, I'm assuming at that point it was like, hey, guys,

283
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: too late. Sorry. Yeah, the Traders committed to him because

284
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to be back close to home because then

285
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: in Mississippi for two years was just tough for me. Um.

286
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: So I committed to Florida State. UM, but I went

287
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: on all of my other visits. You know, I went

288
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: on all of other business. Um at that time, Jimbo

289
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: fisher Head maybe just taken over or was about to

290
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: take over, and you know what, I went on all

291
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: my official business and I ended up like the Oregon

292
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot better. Yeah, I I will say Mississippi State.

293
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I've never been to. Um East Mississippi Community College's what's

294
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: the school I went to last year? This in Mississippi? Alright, So,

295
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean I've never been to the state of Mississippi.

296
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: What what the heck is it like? Over? It is

297
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: not fun? Oh man, it's not the funniest place to be.

298
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Um Like, is it just no? Nightlife is it? No

299
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: culture life, no, no anything. Man. And in a little

300
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: in a little you know, scrunny, I don't even know

301
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: if you call it like a town of Scoola, Mississippi.

302
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: There was only uh, two stories. There was a severn

303
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: rime station and a shell station, never right across from

00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: I like talking about it or do you not want

318
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: to let it define you? I don't know how how

319
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: do you characterize that? Looking back? I mean, it's been

320
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: what a decade, maybe twelve years. Yeah, man, I just

321
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: I just try to not let it define me. You know,

322
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: it is it does get annoying at some point, Um,

323
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: you just kind of give them, you know, at some

324
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: point you just start trying to just give us anertic

325
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: answer and just keep it pushing. Um. You know something

326
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: that something that is remembered for you know, for so

327
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: so long. Um, a mistake that was made by a

328
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: young you know, twenty year old um kids. So you

329
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: know that's you know, it does get annoying from time

330
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: to time. But at the same time, that's just you know,

331
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: that's the that's the that's the bed. I man, I've

332
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: gotta lay in it. Yeah, I mean it almost feels

333
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: like could your automatic response, But yeah, I screwed up

334
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: when I was twenty. Oh. By the way, I have

335
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: three Super Bowl rings. Would you like to see them?

336
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, not to flex, but like

337
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, like listen, I imagine I guess my my

338
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: my lookout back on it is if everybody was the

339
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: find by their low point in their life and like

340
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: their biggest screw up, like we would all be you know, ever,

341
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: everybody would ate each other. You think so little of

342
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: every right, that's the cool thing. Like you overcame it

343
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: right right one percent? Man, and I and I worked

344
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: my tail off to overcome it. Um. You know, I

345
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: just I just feel like I just feel like, um,

346
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, the the effect that it had, Like you know,

347
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: I just say thank God that I was able to

348
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: play for a long time because the effect that it

349
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: had on me and my draft status and and you know,

350
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: me to go undrafted because of that single incident was

351
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: just um for you know, for at one point in time,

352
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: it was really crazy to me because I'm seeing guys

353
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: get caught, you know, doing way worse you know, this,

354
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: that and the other, and they still go in the

355
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: first round. You know, so this you know, just the

356
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: fact that they that I felt all the wealth the

357
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: charge was was incredible to me. Yeah, I want to

358
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: ask about the combine because is um you know the

359
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: combines happening right now in indeed for this upcoming draft.

360
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: And I am curious, Uh, do you recall any interviews

361
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: there and did everybody just ask you about that incident

362
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: or did anybody not ask you at all? And you

363
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: were like, WHOA don't you want to know about? Um?

364
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: I had a couple of teams asked me. Well, for

365
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: the most part, teams didn't ask that. They kind of

366
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: know how it is. Um. You know, you may take

367
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: it with a grand saw. Um. You know, they see

368
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: fight some training camp all the time. They see you know,

369
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: guys get into it all the time. So this wasn't

370
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: the first time that's ever happened. Um. And there I

371
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: So I didn't get a lot of I just asked

372
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: me about it, but I did have a couple. M H,

373
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: I am curious. Um, when you were at the combine,

374
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: given you know, you had had a pretty good run

375
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: in college, you obviously should should have been drafted. Did

376
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: you have people giving you the inclination, hey, we're gonna

377
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: be drafting you, or did everybody basically tell you, hey, man,

378
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: nobody's drafting you, but we want you undrafted free agents

379
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: nam and told me if they were going into not

380
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: going to draft me. Um. You know, my agent talked

381
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: to a few teams and you know they were talking

382
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: about you know, they had some teams saying third round,

383
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: some teams saying fourth round, some team time fifth round.

384
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: But ultimately we we we went you know, we went

385
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: into we got into the fifth in the sixth round,

386
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: and I got a call from like Singletary like, uh, hey, man,

387
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: we want you here out of out of y'all. And

388
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: then I'm and you know, my agent and me and

389
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: my agent like, bro, if you want me their draft,

390
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, just you know that's that's a guarantee, you

391
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: know that I'll be there, and uh he was like, no,

392
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: we ain't gonna take no running back, but we want

393
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: to get to the free agency. Just let me know now.

394
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: And uh So the fifth round goes around, and then

395
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: the sixth round comes, and then I think maybe no.

396
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Then the sixth round comes and they draft Anthony Dixon

397
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: from Mississippi State, the running back Anthony Dixon from Mississippi State.

398
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: The Niners ship and then the seventh round come out,

399
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: and then I think they drafted by the outside linebacker

400
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: or kicker or something, and and then they called my

401
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: agent again after the draft was like a ready to

402
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: get this done. My agent was like, bro, are you

403
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: kidding me? Like, Bro, you had two opportunities to draft

404
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: him in the sixth and the seventh round, Like, I mean,

405
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: it's totally up to him to make the decision, you know,

406
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: but you know, my my stance will be no but

407
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: it's up there. Made a decision and at the time,

408
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: no one had called me, so I was like, shoot, yeah,

409
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean I I verbally agree to go to you know,

410
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: go to the Niners, and then Tennessee called, and then

411
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: a couple more teams called, and then I would just

412
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of like, uh, I'm straight. I mean, that would

413
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: have been great if I would if that was my

414
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: only opportunity, but it's not. So I'm not I'm not

415
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna come down San France and my cemetary with this. Yeah. Um,

416
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee didn't totally work out. Getting it up

417
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: in Tampa wood Like, I don't know, what, what do

418
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: you think about how that worked out? I mean, obviously

419
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: things worked out for the best, right you know, I'm

420
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: just curious to do your thoughts on it on on

421
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: my time in Tampa. Um, well, just you know, starting

422
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and then not making the roster and then

423
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: ending up in Tampa and then of course having you know,

424
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: a good season. Um, just starting out in Tennessee. Man,

425
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: that was just I'm gonna say that was a great

426
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: experience because I got a I had a chance to

427
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: share the bad field in the meeting room and stuff

428
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: like that with one of my personal favorite running backs

429
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: of all time, and that's Chris Johnson. Um I got

430
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: a chance to just their share the locker room and

431
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: kick it with him, hang out with him at home

432
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and you know, just ride around and be around him

433
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: and stuff. So that was always dope. UM. And then

434
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, just just leaving and going to Tampa. Um,

435
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I was new to this, So this is all new

438
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, they obviously got me out there and gave

439
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: him the whole tour and did the physicals and all

440
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: that good stuff. And they were just like, hey man,

Speaker 1: To go from undrafted to joining the team in September

450
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,520

00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: my favorite backs at the time. UM. I had went

458
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: to Auburn a couple of times watch them played. That

459
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: was the year the year they probably want to think

460
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: undefeated maybe or maybe a year later they did, or

461
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: year before whatever it was when they had split the

462
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: national championship with someone, uh yeah, yeah, and and and

463
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: they were my favorite backs man. So Um and Cadillac

464
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: got drafted I think fifth, and Running got drafted third

465
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. So, you know, just being able to again

466
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: the opportunity to share the backfield with someone that I

467
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: looked up to him, I and I and I admired,

468
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, growing up in high school and seeing him

469
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: playing college. Um, that was dope for me. And that

470
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: was that was fun for me, and I learned a

471
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: lot from me. I'm looking at the stature, this is crazy.

472
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: I forget you know, Cadillac Williams at Alburn. I think

473
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: they shared a national title. He you're right, he was

474
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: like an early pick. I mean, you know you instantly

475
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: went there and supplanted him. How does that happen? Like

476
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: you get to Tampa, you do he We need you

477
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: to learn to playbook quick, and then what happened? You

478
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: just instantly started dominating. No, So I have learned the

479
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: playbook quick. And then they wanted to implement me into

480
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: the offense. So my first my the first couple of

481
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: years I was there, or for the first couple of

482
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: games I was there, I didn't dress out or whatever.

483
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: And then I think the third or fourth whint we

484
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: played against the Stellers. We got blown out like thirty

485
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: five or seven, thirty eight seven or whatever. But that

486
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: was my first game plan and I had him. I

487
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: had this little run to the right, you know, and

488
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: I had troy um to try to make him miss,

489
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: and I kind of like made him miss, but he

490
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: was holding onto my foot, so I dragged him a

491
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: little bit. Um. From then on, they were just like

492
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: a maen, we we're gonna try to get you the

493
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: ball more and more um. Starting next week, We're gonna

494
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: try to get to the ball more and more and more,

495
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: and mortgage and the offense more and more, and um,

496
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, slowly, man, man lack starts splitting it up

497
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then I just kind of started

498
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: taking over the rans from there because I mean I

499
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: was just obviously really more effective. Yeah, dude, that's that's great. Um.

500
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,600

00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Um, these pills I mean something.

556
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean it depends on I guess it depends on

557
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,440

563
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: habits and stuff like that, there's a pill for anxiety. Well,

564
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: there's multiple pills for anxiety. There's multiple pills for pain.

565
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: There's multiple pills for being able to sleep. You know

566
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Now, just think about if you know

567
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: one of those, if you're one of those people that

568
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: have all three of those, because that's a lot of

569
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: people that have, you know, vastly habits and stidy you know,

570
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: in pain, that's not uncommon. That's a common thing, and

571
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: all people, you know, one of those are gonna be common.

572
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: And you think about that, you think about taking three

573
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: pills a day, you know, seven days a week. You know,

574
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: that's just not gonna be good for your liberal. That's

575
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: not that's not gonna be healthy for your body. And

576
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: this is a more healthy and natural way to deal

577
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: with pain to deal with vastly patterns to deal with UM,

578
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,680

579
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: that you're feeling, or any of that. This is like

580
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: the calming bombers for all that, you know, for that stuff.

581
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: So UM, Like I said, this isn't just limited to

582
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: professional athletes. This is for everyone. So I want everyone
