It was amazing. To answer your question, yes, yes, 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: and yes, I mean it was you know, getting to 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: run around my old stomping grounds was awesome. Like the 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: first day I actually choked up a little bit when 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: we went there for practice. Just you know, going back 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: somewhere that I had spent you know, so much time, 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, energy and just like put so much of 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: myself into and uh, you know I got I was 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: welcomed back so warmly by coaches, and a lot of 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: those coaches weren't there when I was there. You know, 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: there's one or maybe two that were, but by and large, 28 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: these guys don't know me personally, and to you know, 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: receive that kind of warm welcome was very, very humbling 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: and very appreciated. It was awesome. It was a very 31 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: good week. That's so nice. I love that too, especially 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: because like you're saying, like they don't necessarily know you, 33 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: but like to to have that companionship is really nice. Now, 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: you also took the offensive line fishing, but like deep 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: sea fishing, is that correct? Like what type of fishing 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: did y'all do? Because you have options? U yeah, right, Yeah. 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: That's one of the cool things about Pacific Northwest. It's 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot like here in Georgia in 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the south, where we have you know, the Atlantic Coast 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: and the Pacific Northwest. We have the Pacific Coast um. 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: But we went in the north end of the Puget Sound, 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: which it's not really it's not deep sea fishing, but 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: it's it's off the coast you're in, you know, the 44 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of it's not really an estuary, but it 45 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: kind of is. You know, it's a it's inlet, this 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: giant inlet of water essentially on the other side of 47 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: the Olympic Peninsula. And we went fishing for salmon co 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: host salmon aka silvers and it was awesome. It was 49 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: a blast. Man. We went with h the outdoor line company. 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: They did an awesome job. Man, it was so much fun. 51 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: It was a blast. I heard y'all also brought fish 52 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: back to eat, to the hotel to eat. Yep, was 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: it all good, like fantastically. They didn't believe me. They 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: didn't believe that, like real fresh salmon from the pcific 55 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: Northwest was different. Man, they didn't buy it. And I 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: think I think I made a believer out of all 57 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: of them. So you had a company, But could you 58 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: have just been the guide if you felt like it, Like, 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: were you kind of like king fishermen among all of 60 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: the fishermen were there. I wouldn't say that at all. 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: I've probably fished that well, certainly that type of fishing, 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: I probably have the most experience with out of you know, 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: at least the players that were there. Like, I fished 64 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: quite a bit, you know, living up in the pac 65 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: North the West, and I fished quite a lot in 66 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: the off season. But I certainly don't think I'm quite 67 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: guide level. You know, I could, I could take a 68 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: buddy or two fish and you know, do a spot 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: that's not too bad and maybe get into a couple. 70 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: But you know, we we hooked what fourteen fish, I 71 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: think fourteen or sixteen fish a good day. That was 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: a great day. So I wouldn't I wouldn't call myself 73 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: quite quite at that level, but man, it was. It 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: was awesome. It was just so fun. Who was the 75 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: best fisherman out of everybody? At least? Who caught them? Yeah? 76 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Who caught them most? That's a better question. We kind 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: of took turns as the we took turns. Our boat 78 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: definitely caught more. Who was on your beat? So we 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: had a hennessee Me, Dolman, Colby Gossip and uh one 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: of the one of the staff with us. Okay, and 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: I think that was all the players. I think that 82 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: was all the players that was there. And the newsle 83 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: and some of the other staff went to the other 84 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: boat just because there wasn't a space for everybody on 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: on one boat, but it was it was a blast. 86 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: That is fantastic. Now, um, the next question that I 87 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: have for you is actually something that many people have 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: already answered, because if you remember during camp, you know, 89 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: you'll do the question of the day things that's up 90 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: on the when you'll walk off practice build, and one 91 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: of the questions was who would you want to be 92 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: stranded on a deserted island with And a lot of 93 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: people said you, and the vast majority of them said you. 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: And I'm just curious, like, what is your pitch to 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: them to make them decide? You know what, I'm going 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: to take Caleb McCarry with me to this deserted island. Okay, Well, 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: if you don't want to die, pick me. That's all 98 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: you need, you know. That's That's kind of my thing 99 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: is I'm very very outdoorsy. I like the outdoors a lot, 100 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: and growing up in Washington, you know, stick Northwest, I 101 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: had access to just an absurd amount of you know, 102 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: public land and all the space, and so I basically 103 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: ran wild in my younger years like Tarza just it 104 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. I drove my mom nuts because I'd 105 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: come home from school, dropped my backpack off at the door, 106 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: and I just disappear. I'd be gone. Yeah, I'm out 107 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: heading the wild basically or as close as I could get. 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: So that's just what I grew up doing. Like, I'm 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: very big into survival skills, h you know, starting fires 110 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: without matches, things like that. Like that's that's what I 111 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: like to do in my spare time is learning and 112 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: develop those skills. So that's you know, I would not 113 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: put myself on a level with any you know kind 114 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: of you know, survival master, survival instruct or anything like that. 115 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: Like I haven't spent my entire life dedicated to that, 116 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, but I'm pretty good. I think i'd be fine. Okay, 117 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: that's good to know. And if you're a wild animal 118 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: and you live in the Oregon Washington region and they 119 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: saw you, they should probably run. Well, if they don't 120 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: see me, they probably deserve what's I'm a large, pale 121 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: monkey with very little hair, so they should recognize it. Yeah. 122 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: So as somebody who's whose last name is Bear, I've 123 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: heard that you've come after my time a couple of 124 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: different times that you have that you've successfully hunted for 125 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: bear at this point. Yes, Okay, So there are that 126 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: spawns a thousand questions which basically just I just want 127 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: to know about it, like how like like do you 128 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: track them? How do you you know? Like how do 129 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: you find them? How do you hunt them? All that 130 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: type of thing, because it seems like if you're going 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: after an apex predator, don't miss right, I mean, yeah, 132 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: that's you know, um, I will tell you bear hunting 133 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: does definitely get your adrenaline up, you know, because they're 134 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize they you know, they 135 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: think bears are these large, lumbering creatures that are allowed 136 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: and bears are predators people for people don't realize bears 137 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: stock and kill people like black bears will do it, 138 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Grizzly bears will do it. There. Yeah, bears, what I think, 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: thirty or forty miles an hour and something that I 140 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: didn't know that I found out because I knew I 141 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: knew they were dangerous for at least short period of time, 142 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: like that they could sprint very fast for at least 143 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: a short period of time. I did not know that 144 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: they are actually excellent long distance runners hours, so you're 145 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: unless you are faster than you're not out running the bear. 146 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: So they're no, they're they're incredible creatures. Um. But as 147 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: far as like pursuing them, it's it's difficult because bears 148 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: are very temperamental in the sense that you know, this 149 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: bear and I chased one bear for two years once 150 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: one singular bear, one singular bear. Uh wow. A bear 151 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: could show up like barry patches, like in Washington. You 152 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: can't bait bear. Um. So you have to find them 153 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: in like berry fields or you know, creek crossings where 154 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: there's blackberries or blueberries or stuff like that. You know 155 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: something some food source that is that they like that 156 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: they're hitting often and pattern them with like a trailcam. 157 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: And the annoying thing about bears is you know a 158 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: bear is going to do whatever a bear wants to 159 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: do whenever they want to do it. Like they can 160 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: show up at that same spot at the same time, 161 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: almost like almost to the minute, for weeks, and then 162 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: the three days you get to go there, they're gone. 163 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: They're just gone. And then a month later they show 164 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: back up, do the same thing for a week, disappear 165 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: for a month. They just what whatever they want to do, 166 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: whenever they want to do. They are incredibly stealthy when 167 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: you you would not expect a couple hundred pound animal 168 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: like that to just like appear out of the forest, 169 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: but they do. I went hunting in their Clearwater natural 170 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: Forest and Idaho this spring.

I had this really 201 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: beautiful white patch on his chest, so I decided to 202 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: get him mounted so I could kind of show off 203 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: that really big, pretty white patch.

I'm very bad. I 210 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: love talking about this. Feel free. Um so I I mean, 211 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I love hunting in general, but my personal favorite is 212 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: definitely bow hunting. It's funny though, so I gotta like, 213 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: I gotta a deer with my bow last week. Um 214 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: but when I was hunting bear, so I brought my 215 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: bow and my rifle. I hunted with my bow for 216 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: five days. Didn't see any bear. Nothing. And bears have 217 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: been coming through on trailcams regularly, but just for whatever reason, 218 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: when I was there, they just weren't. And like, this 219 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: is practically bathing in you know, scent killer stuff like that. 220 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: You know, doing everything you can to that because bears, 221 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: bear's sense of smell is like unrivaled. You. You can 222 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: fool their eyes, you can fool the ears, you cannot 223 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: fool the bear's nose. If the wind changes changes on 224 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: you and goes bad and blows like from your back 225 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: towards them, it's toast apps and they can be hundreds 226 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: of yards away. They could be hundreds of yards away 227 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: and spelling you. It's incredible. Yea, they've survived this long 228 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: for a reason. Yeah, they are. One hundred hundred five 229 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: days with my bow. Didn't see a single bear one 230 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: hundred two days with my rifle. I don't know where. 231 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: I don't know where. That's that's the thing. My favorite 232 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: is definitely bow hunting. But you know, I I love 233 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: all hunting in general. I support all hunting. Um. I 234 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: think I just have a very deep appreciation and respect 235 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: for like the more primitive hunting styles like archery, muzzle loader, 236 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, things like that where you don't have quite 237 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, such a mechanical advantage out and that's not 238 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, throwing any shade at you know, modern fire. 239 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: I'm because you know, they get like two weeks of 240 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the year to hunt, as opposed to you know, archery 241 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: guys like me, who could hunt, you know, depending on 242 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: a state, basically the entire hunting season that's like four 243 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: or five months, you know, so give and take. Interesting 244 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: on the same line of questioning ash your weapon of 245 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: choice heard through the grape vine, um and my notes 246 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: for this, it literally just says, ask about giant ass 247 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: sword quote giant asked sword, what is it? Why do 248 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: you have it? And where it isn't in an undisclosed location. 249 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: So I have always won. I've always been like a 250 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: medieval armors buff. I love everything sharp straight up, from 251 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: like broadheads and archery to pocket knives, swords, fixed blades. 252 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: I am, I'm kind of I'm I'm a little bit 253 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: of a nut. Uh And I'd always wanted a great sword. 254 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: But finding you know, a quality produced great sword in 255 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: the modern era is very, very difficult because you know, 256 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: that was like back in the fifteenth century, right, so 257 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, we've moved on a little bit. Not a 258 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: lot of sword makers that you know, just make you know, 259 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: six foot swords. But I got hold of this uh 260 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: sword smith in Texas called Valiant Armory, and they they 261 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: were willing to make me my sword. And it is. 262 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: It is a it's like a almost six foot on 263 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: the dot, maybe a little more six foot long, fifteenth 264 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: century great sword, and it is like one of my 265 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: favorite possessions absolutely ever. I take that thing with me 266 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: everywhere I can. Sometimes I'm sometimes I straight walk my 267 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: dog or on the neighborhood. Yeah, wearing it on my 268 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: back because I can. But you're probably one of the 269 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: only people that could probably carry it, Like, yeah, that'ller 270 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: than me. Yes, No, it is definitely. Uh fun fact, 271 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: swords are not heavy, really big swords are not heavy. 272 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking, you know, five pounds as a 273 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: heavy sword. That's a heavy sword. Really, I did not know. 274 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: You would not think a six foot chunk of sharp 275 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: steel would be that light. You'd think, you know, ten fifty. 276 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: Everybody has these kind of romanticized like swords are really 277 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: crazy heavy, and they're not. I can I can almost 278 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: wield it one handed. Now granted that has a lot 279 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: to do with grip strength, right, but you know that 280 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: just goes it's not that heavy because if it was, 281 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm I mean, I'm not willing that thing one hand, 282 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: and if it's as heavy as you would think, um yeah, 283 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: like long swords, the typical long sword, which is you 284 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: know blade three three to three and a half ish 285 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: feet long, three pounds.

Okay, you know, I'm happy 291 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: for you. Man. They've kind of accepted me for what 292 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: I am. They they get it because like there's a 293 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: little amateur blacksmithing if that's yeah, right, And that's another 294 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: form that you're bringing back a little bit something like that. 295 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, I really valuable um like usable like 296 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: usable trade skills, smithing, you know, carpentry, things like that, 297 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's not as as in demand 298 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: as it once was, obviously because with you know the 299 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: advancement of electronics and machines. But I think there's a 300 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: lot to be said for you know, a craftsman that 301 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: can take a scrap chunk of steel and turn into 302 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: something beautiful and usable, you know.

Yeah, And you know, honestly it's just fun. 307 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: Like I think it's cool to be able to make 308 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: a knife out of you know, an old lot more 309 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: blade or blade. You know, I might have to call 310 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: somebody to fix a sprinkler head at this point, but nevertheless, 311 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: in doing the homework for this interview, Um, you've really lived, man, 312 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, and I think you know, growing up where 313 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: you grew up, what you went through in high school, 314 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, um and everything to get to kind of 315 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: where you are now. I mean, how did that shape you? 316 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: I guess maybe the broadest way that I could you know, 317 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: possibly ask it, you know, honestly, Uh, as as difficult 318 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: as some of that stuff was, and you know it, 319 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: it was um exacerbated by you know, being a teenager. 320 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: You know, it was all it was, it was you know, 321 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: it all seems so much worse just because as a 322 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: teenager you don't have any concept of the real world 323 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: or you know what it entails. You just know that 324 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: you can't do the stuff you want to do, and 325 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: that sucks, you know. But what it really gave me 326 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: was perspective like I have. I think I have a 327 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: very good perspective of the world and life in general 328 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: and people, and I think that serves me well. I 329 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: think it's made me very good at you know, taking 330 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: people for what they are, you not expecting them to 331 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: be things that they're not, and just moving on it. 332 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: I think it's made it easier for me to be 333 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: happy because I understand better. I think I have a 334 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 1: good enough perspective that I can just take things as 335 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: they come as as somebody who's was the first round 336 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: draft pick and a professional football player. Do you have 337 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: an appreciation I'm getting all deep now for where you 338 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: are now knowing that you've been down on your luck. 339 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: You know, your dad's lost his job, You've lived in 340 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: an RV, you've done some of these things. You've transferred 341 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: schools as a kid to new areas. Um, do do 342 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: you feel like you have a greater appreciation for maybe 343 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: where you are now because of all those things. Absolutely? 344 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: And that's that's that's the whole perspective things, you know, 345 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: That's why I'm I'm getting better. I'm not as much 346 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: of a tight wad. I used to be terrible, Ye dude, 347 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: Going going to the store to buy good food was 348 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: the craziest thing. And it's not like, you know, when 349 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: my parents always did the very best they could, and 350 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, very rarely did we not have you know, 351 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: good food of some kind or you know, something to 352 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: eat or anything like that. But being able to go 353 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: into a store and buy the type of milky want, 354 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, the cuds of steak, you know, things like that, 355 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: things that you know, you just don't go do when 356 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: you're a struggling college student or a high school or 357 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: you know. It's it was really weird to get used 358 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: to being able to, you know, within reason, kind of 359 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: do what I want, you know, and learning to manage 360 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: because that was a whole other journey was learning to 361 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: manage that and grow a little bit and let myself 362 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: have some extra fun, you know, and learn that that's 363 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: it's okay, you know to That's that's what working so 364 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: hard for so long to get here and then working 365 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: so hard even harder to stay right, that's what makes 366 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: it worth it, you know, is that you can do 367 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: these things and it's okay now, Like that's it. You 368 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: have put yourself in a position that allows you to 369 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: do these things. I think that's fantastic. I mean, and 370 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: we were looking back over a few things and you 371 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: even said, I think at one point, I can't remember 372 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: exactly when you said this, but you you made the 373 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: comment like, never thought football would be the career that 374 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: I pursued, like it, never thought that this was the 375 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: way that my life was going to go and for you, 376 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about that mindset, when did 377 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that change for you? That this was like, you know, 378 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: football can set me up to have the life that 379 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: I want. You know, it didn't really sink in until 380 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: like towards the end of college. I guess that I 381 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: had that I had a real shot at this, because 382 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, every little boy's dream is to go to 383 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, but you know, very few of us. Really 384 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: it's it's not as tangible. You know, it's a it's 385 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: a dream. It's like this far off thing. And when 386 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: I was when I was, when I was a kid, 387 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: I think seventh grade, I think, you know, I began 388 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: to like I felt like I was good at football. 389 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: I began to realize that I was good and I 390 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: was just I just played it because it was fun. 391 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: It was a blast. It was like like I played 392 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: football and basketball to my heart's content. I loved him, um, 393 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: but I felt like I was really really good at football. 394 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: And I told my dad that I was gonna pay 395 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: for my own college one day. But that was as 396 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: close as I had gotten. And after that, really like 397 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: after that moment, the idea kind of like fell into 398 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 1: the background, and I just I went back to just 399 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: playing football for a while. And then in high school, 400 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, I go to a 401 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: couple of camps at colleges and I start getting offers 402 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: and it just kind of explodes from there. Uh. And 403 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, fast forward a couple of years to college, 404 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: and I'm actually sitting in my apartment in Seattlet at 405 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: dinner one night and it just kind of hits me, 406 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: I might I can do this, you know, I have 407 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: a reality. Yeah, I might have a real chance here 408 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: at being able to get somewhere that not just changes 409 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: my life, but my whole family's Like this could this 410 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: could really turn into something for me? Because my goal 411 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: was just to get to college in high school, you know, 412 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: get to college, get an education, learn, continue to learn, 413 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: do you know, continue to expand my horizons. I I 414 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: didn't expect at all for it to turn into what 415 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: it has. And you know when I realized that it could, 416 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: I got so excited. Yeah it was, it was. It 417 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: was really cool moment. Well, I feel like so empowered 418 00:22:54,240 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: right now. About you played some tight end in high school. 419 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: I did. I'd just like to imagine like a five ten, 420 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five pounds safety being like, what 421 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: am I supposed to do with this guy? I was 422 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: a I was a very standard large tight end, and 423 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, in the sense that I didn't have any 424 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: juke moves. I wasn't. I wasn't you know. No, I 425 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: wasn't exactly what you would think. I could catch the 426 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: ball pretty well, and I could run people over. Yeah, 427 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: I had a kid jump on my back ones and 428 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: I actually scored a touchdown after running over his teammate 429 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: with him on my back. Every video of this somewhere. Oh, 430 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: I have no idea. It was a long time ago. 431 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: I would have. I would pay money to say that. 432 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: I remember a passing camp we were doing. I think 433 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: in my junior year. I was still learning. We hadn't 434 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: started the season yet. I was still really learning the position. 435 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: And uh, we're into seven on seven scrum hint I was. 436 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: I was on a ten yard dig and I accidentally 437 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: ran over the other team's middle linebacker. I did like 438 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: I just did. There's no point in looking at him, 439 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: So I go to make my cut. It's not really cuts, 440 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: more of a rounded Yeah, I was sixty seven. That's 441 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: no real cutting. So I got her round off my route, 442 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I see him in my priffles, 443 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to deviate from my route. I 444 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: keep watching my quarterback and I feel myself step on 445 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: his cleat on his foot, and then I step on 446 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: something else squishier, and I just keep going his stomach. 447 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah that was that was actually his stomach. I had 448 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: pinned his foot. He had tripped and fallen, and I 449 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: just I just mowed the poor kid down. And then 450 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: my quarterback to me the ball and I scored. It 451 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: was great, but I didn't understand why the coaches were 452 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: all laughing so hard till I looked back and he 453 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: was on the ground. Oh my gosh. He was okay. 454 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: For the record, he noted, maybe not his pride. But 455 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: if you're listening to this or watching this, send video 456 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: to Atlanta Falcons. I don't care if it's on VHS. 457 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: Will This is as close to a football question is 458 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to you before we go to our 459 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: kind of rapid fire segment. Have you pitched Arthur Smith 460 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: on a big guy touchdown play? I know you. I 461 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: don't think you're not going to say if it's in 462 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: the package or not, But have you had the conversation, 463 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Uh not coach Smith. I've I've kind of badgered our 464 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: aligned coach about it because you know, there's over the years, 465 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of love to to left tackles 466 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: and stuff, but it is always left tackles, always love 467 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: to the left tackles. But you never see a little 468 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: You never see a gimme to the to the guys 469 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: on the rise. Yeah, I don't think it's happening anytime soon, 470 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: but you know, I have hope. I have hope one day, 471 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: maybe one day run over. It might be harder to 472 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: run over the middle linebacker that time might be. It 473 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: might be you know, considering it's pro football and I'm 474 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: not nearly as fast compared to everybody else. So yeah, 475 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: there's that Oh my gosh, wait, what one war from 476 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: me and then we'll get into rapid fire, I promise, um. 477 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: But recently read a story from our good friend Josh Kendall, 478 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: who works for the Athletic about you were talking about, 479 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: you know, one day far from now, when you retire 480 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: from football, that you want to live off the grid. 481 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: And I want to know what that means for you, 482 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: because Scott and now we're talking, we're like off the grid. 483 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: For us, it's like, oh, I don't take my cell 484 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: phone with me to the grocery store. But I feel 485 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: like the more definition of off the grid is very different. 486 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: So what is that intail for you? It is a 487 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: little different, you know.
