Speaker 1: Tyler Algier aka Psycho t Aka, the franchise record holder

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: for rookie rushing yards. Apparently you also had five thousand

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: rushing yards in high school and fifty six rushing touchdowns

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: for Kaiser. I guess so all those accolades accolades are

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: meant to say Tyler's pretty good at what he does.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: So definitely wanted to have you on the program before

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: you started your second season, and we wanted to start

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: with a very important question.

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: This is and I'll preface this question by saying.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: This is mostly Desmond Ridder's fault.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: This is a question that we have had for months

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: and we've been saving it specifically for this podcast.

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's not it's common to know that that

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: you like bowling, right, and you're a pretty good bowler.

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: What Desmond brought up in that very chair was that

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: you own a bowling ball.

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: Which in and of itself is not weird. A lot

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: of people own bowling balls.

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yours pretty has a blueberry sent to it.

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: It does, Okay, I have so many questions about this

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: origin story.

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: Please all right, so shout out the miracle bol so

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 3: nil first came out. Then they gave me They give

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: me the ball, and then they give me shoes, so

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: fitted for the ball, give me the shoes. And then

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: they said, yeah, it smells like blueberries. I said all right,

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: and then got a wi. Every time, every time I

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: go get a WHI, it gives me strikes.

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: So it's now part of the routine is the ball

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: comes up the blueberry relax.

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, that's great. Yeah. I was

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: never like a spinner. It was more like straight. But

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: then after getting the ball, that's when I kept practicing

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: spin spin. So now I'm pretty pretty decent.

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: I have so many questions. I know. I'm glad that

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: it's true. I'm also glad to know that it does

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: actually smell like blueberries, because when Dez said that, I

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: was like, line, man, it's probably just blue I have

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: to bring it in something, No, you do, because I

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: need to now I need to now experience it. Did

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: they give you options as to what it could smell

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: like or and you picked blueberry, or was it like,

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: here's a blueberry bowling.

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: Here's a blueberry.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, probably blue like b yu. That was probably

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: the connection.

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: Maybe it could have been Okay, it could be we'll

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 3: just say that.

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll say that that.

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: We'll say that's what it is.

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: That's right. So this seems like a natural nil connection

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: in general, because bowling is a thing that like, have

57
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: you done it for a while? Did you do it when? Yeah?

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: How did you get into bowling?

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: I did it when I was a kid. I grew up,

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: grew up going bowling and stuff.

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: So and then it sort of moved forward into like

62
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Tyler Drake des John Fitzpatrick Bowling League. Maybe that's too far, but.

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: A couple stuff.

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was something I was about to say. That

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: was something that I remember when y'all were first here,

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: and I think all of y'all were rooming together that

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: rookie minie camp when y'all first got here, and that

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: was something that I can't remember if it was Drake

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: or somebody said, you know, that's how we bonded like

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: kind of early on out of the four of y'all,

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 2: Please rank best to worst, because I want to match

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: this up with what Dez said when he was in here.

73
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to be the best, right, you

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: have your own bowling ball days.

75
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: That day wasn't good, but if I do have a day,

76
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: I'll go me Okay, I'll go me dees Drake and

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: fits Okay.

78
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Sounds like how does that match?

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure? Yeah. I think Dez said that he

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: was the best, which I mean, I.

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: Right, depends on the day, right, and the lanes.

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: And the lanes, right, they need to be old like

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: appropriately like we definitely have.

84
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: To get appropriately slick.

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: It's like give her take, right. So I think if

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: we're going to name the bowling team, we could call

87
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: them like the like Blueberry Bombers or something that's you know,

88
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: and so kind of an extension of that, right. It's

89
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: always kind of interesting to me. So you're you're drafted,

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you fly across the country and then you're in a

91
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: dorm with three people who maybe you waive that at

92
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: the combine possibly or something like that. But to kind

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: of get in there and it's a bunch of new people,

94
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: it's a draft class, and you're all kind of getting

95
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to know each other, Like, what's those first couple of days, like,

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: because you're getting to know people who are now really

97
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: good friends of yours.

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, shoot to be honest, So me and Draxy sare

99
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: the same industry. So I ended up being with him

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: or met him once. So we played against each other.

101
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: Body really know, you know we want that gave one

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: of the last games of the season. We won that game.

103
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: Shout out us. Yeah, but that was that was that

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: was a good one. But then I actually passed des

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: during combine. I was like, oh, that's him. That just

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: what I was, That's Cincinnati's finest went all on my day,

107
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: but then actually rooming with the guys, like really just

108
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: getting out of my comfort zone and actually going out

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: on my more like not out of my way, but

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: like all of us just really having the same goals

111
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 3: and same aspirations, wanting to get better and learn the offense.

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: So kind of just like being able to just go

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: towards them and gravity towards them, to really just open

114
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: up myself because I'm kind of a I've gotten better.

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: I've gotten better because I'm more of a like in

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: my show, but I've gone better trying to just like

117
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: open I guess get out, get out of my.

118
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Shell, right, yeah, take your Yeah, there you go. Yeah,

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: because I think I have introverted tendencies as well, and

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: sometimes it takes like people to get me out of that.

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: And I feel like Des and Drake and John were

122
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: they that for you too?

123
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so it was good.

124
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's from from talking to Jon Robinson yesterday,

125
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: two days ago, a couple of days ago. Yeah, it

126
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: sounds like you guys have bonded over animeal Yeah, and

127
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: apparently he's really into it. He actually had a character.

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: That best discribed.

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. He said that this is the type of hard

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: hitting stuff that we deal with here on Falcon Focus.

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: So what he said is that he would compare you

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: and him to the character Baki. See do you agree

133
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: or disagree? And if you're comparing anime characters, who are

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: you comparing to? Okay, for first question is do you

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: agree with Bajon's assessments?

136
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: See, I haven't seen Baki.

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: So a vision of a guy who like runs through

138
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: the enemy, I think that's kind of the.

139
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I I have an idea of what Bucky like.

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: It's fin an anime like I've seen memes about it,

141
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: but I've actually seen it.

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Okay, he hasn't.

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: Seen any of the mainstream ones that I've seen, but

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: he've seen like the low.

145
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Key indie ones or something, the indie anime.

146
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Basically, yeah, basically, but I mean sure sure if he

147
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: because like I've seen the memes and I guess so

148
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: maybe right.

149
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it could make sense head ye, yeah,

150
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: how long have you been into anime? Like is that

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: something that also from childhood? You were like super into

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: that or was that a recent development.

153
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: So that's a kid. It was more I didn't really

154
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: watch it, like if it was on an adult swim

155
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: eighty past ten pm. I wasn't really hooked crazy on it.

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: But it was more when I got into college, what

157
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: was it? I think I started grinding Naruto and that's

158
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,000

Speaker 1: Are there any kind of like was there a favorite

191
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: moment or a good story that comes to mind about

00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: that trip? Hmm?

193
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: We wanted to do the Mario Kart thing. But I

194
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 3: heard you needed a the licensed international license.

195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: You need like international So this Mario Kart thing is

196
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: basically like a Go Kart, but theme that way go.

197
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: Kart and you and they give you costumes to dress

198
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: up like your Mario characters that you can't do it

199
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: because you need an international permit.

200
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: So that it's a real bummer, that is. But I

201
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: also think there's a really good marketing opportunity here somehow

202
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: bring it stateside.

203
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360

Speaker 3: a fun time trying to decide which where we want

225
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: to go next next offseason. But there's a lot of

226
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: time to think about.

227
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: That, right yeah.

228
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

229
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to switch gears a little bit because

230
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: we've been talking a lot about your interest as a person,

231
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: but we also need to talk a little bit about football.

232
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: But there's one specific thing that I wanted to ask about.

233
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I just saw this video today.

234
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: I just told Scott about this play that you had

235
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: that went viral while you're at b YU. I know

236
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,479
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about when you like ran

237
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: down what the Arizona State linebacker pay the year play

238
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: of the year like that was. I remember watching that

239
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: like nine in real time because I wasn't watching that

240
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: game in real time, but I remember like watching the

241
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: highlights and it kind of being all over my Twitter

242
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: feed for like a solid day. Please.

243
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so by used quarterback throws a pick, yes.

244
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, explain it for those who haven't seen.

245
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: And then Arizona States linebacker takes off running and then

246
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: then you just see this and then you see Tyler

247
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: come around someone and then all of a sudden, he's

248
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: right on the guy's back and he puts a hand

249
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: on one shoulder pad and does like a flying ryu

250
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: from Street Fighter, Too would be proud Haymaker right on

251
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: top of the ball breaks out and Byu gets the

252
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: gets the ball right back.

253
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: What are you thinking in that moment when you see

254
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: the pick happening and you're.

255
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: Like, it's go.

256
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: Time to be honest with you. Once I saw the pick,

257
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: it was just like I got it. I gotta get

258
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: this guy down. So like it was more boom, I

259
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: saw the pig. I was just springing. I was like,

260
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: oh wow, I'm actually gonna catch him. Like he's slowing

261
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: down or less. I'm like in the moment as fast

262
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: as hell. So I was like you just got to go,

263
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: go go. And then I was like, let's take a shot.

264
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: Let's take a shot, Like why not? Why not? We

265
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: already know I'm gonna get him down, like he's not

266
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: gonna make the touchdowns, so why not that I end

267
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: up running Then it's just instincts, instincts of getting trying

268
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: to get the ball out that was and then just

269
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: ended up getting it boom and then great effort by

270
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: jar and yeah he threw the yeah he threw the pig,

271
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: but just his effort because he's the one that ended

272
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: up recovering it after after that nice little haymaker I made.

273
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: So here's the wild thing to me is everybody came

274
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: up to you and they're like losing their minds. And

275
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: according to the video, I saw you didn't celebrate at all.

276
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: You just like you you like did your thing. You

277
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: saw that b what you got the ball back? And

278
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: he walked in every ship trying to high five you,

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: and he just walked right to the sideline.

280
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: Listen. I was trying to figure out what the hell

281
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: just happened? It was, but it was more I was

282
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: tired too, so like like even my touchdowns, like I

283
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: didn't really celebrate because I was just dog tires, so right,

284
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: But who knows though, But yeah, everyone tried to. It

285
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: was just like I'm trying to catch my breath, but

286
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: then just processing what happened. Like everyone like on the

287
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: sideline like five minutes like do you know? Do you

288
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 3: know what you just did? I was like no, bro,

289
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: like I'm we gotta win this game, right, we can

290
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: celebrate it later.

291
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: But and you just got possession for your offense back,

292
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: so you probably have to catch it right and go

293
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: back out onto the field.

294
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: Damn, that's right.

295
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: It's like get the oxygen tank immediately.

296
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

297
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: Do you do you remember kind of anything anybody said

298
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: to you, either in that moment or after that game

299
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: about that play to be like, yo, man, like this

300
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 2: is kind of blowing up a little bit.

301
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it was blowing up, to be honest

302
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: with you, until like I get like a bunch of

303
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: tags like, oh do you know this kid just did ya? Yadam?

304
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, that's cool.

305
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: It's like cool, that's great my job man, Right, do

306
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: you think that? Because you Actually I don't know how

307
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: much people know about this about you, but in twenty

308
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: nineteen they had you playing some linebacker two to go

309
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: along with you're still playing running back as well. You're

310
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: kind of doing a little bit of both at the time.

311
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: How much did that year of playing linebacker help you

312
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: in that one singular moment of like I have to

313
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: make this tackle?

314
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say did a lot of ball like

315
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: ball disruption drill, so like obviously that could that could play,

316
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: but it was just more just instinct though, So I

317
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: really like all those reps that playing linebacker and then

318
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: playing linebacker in college or in high school as well.

319
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: It was just more instincts like I knew, like especially

320
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: running the ball, like I know, like the weak points

321
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: and stuff. So like, especially a linebacker, they don't do

322
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: ball security, so like that's a plus for me, especially

323
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: if I'm chasing them down. So like, what are the

324
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: odds of like I already know he's not gonna have

325
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: ball security, So what are the odds of me doing

326
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: that and then doing it? So hind it out?

327
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, happening and your entire by you experience. I mean,

328
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: it's such a great story. I'm sure lots of people

329
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: have heard about it, stories like have been told. But

330
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: to come from you know, Fontana and southern California, to

331
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: be a preferred walk on to get a scholarship, like

332
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: this is a cliff notes and then we'll break it down,

333
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: but you know, to then to get a scholarship, you know,

334
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: after having to work odd jobs to pay the tuition

335
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: and help your mom out, you know, like when like

336
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: when you and we'll get into like specific stuff, but

337
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: there's got to be a real sense of pride for

338
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: what you were able to do and accomplish during those

339
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: years when you were in provo.

340
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. It was just like cause like coming

341
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: in as a walk or really coming out of high school,

342
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: a lot of coaches said, oh, like scouts, Oh you're not,

343
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: like he's too stiff, like you're not going to make

344
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: the next level. Like it's so it was like nothing new,

345
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: like but then the way you came. And then I

346
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: went on my official visit and they offered me to

347
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: preferred walk on spat I thought I was gonna get

348
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: a scholarship. It was just a little bit. It was

349
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: a hope. It was a hope, especially like not having

350
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: to offer. It was late, so it would have been

351
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: like a late offer. But then offered the preferred walk

352
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: on and I end up having another offer from a

353
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: D two but it was a half scholarship to Southern

354
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: Nazara and I believe. And then it was just like

355
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: when I went on to visit. It might gonna sound

356
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: a little cliche, but like I felt this like I

357
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: felt like yo b o U to oldios, like I

358
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: didn't know anything about I thought they were yo when

359
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: they came respectively know for sure, but like when I

360
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: got off the plane and then like just viewing the

361
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: campus and stuff, like, I really just felt the spirit.

362
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: It was just like sound like a little cliche, but

363
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: like I felt like it was like it was it

364
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: was like the right spot for me. Then then when

365
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: my mom asked, like do you really want to go?

366
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, like I can. I'll do whatever

367
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: I can to fork out the money. It just like

368
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: just promised me that you're gonna work like You're gonna

369
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: work hard like but like so that was always just

370
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: a chip on my shoulder just to handle all of

371
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: that and then come in as a preferred walk on

372
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: then getting the scholarship, switching positions. Yeah, so switching positions

373
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: then and then switching back to running back getting the

374
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: scholarship then and then shoot the story run itself.

375
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: I think it's really the role that your mom played

376
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: in not just like that time, but kind of helping

377
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: you get to where you are now. I think is

378
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: such a it's such a powerful story of My favorite

379
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: quote was every time I would read something from her,

380
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: when she's quoted on something, she would say the same

381
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: thing over and over, which was I'll make it work.

382
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: Like she would say, I'll make it work. I'll make

383
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: it work. How much looking back do you appreciate kind

384
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: of what she was able to do for you even

385
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: during that time.

386
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: She's been doing that ever sintime as a kid, you know,

387
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: singing Mama too, shout out to MoMA and stuff. But yeah,

388
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: single mama too. So like it it was hard. You know,

389
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: she did everything she can. Like we me and my

390
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: sister were both in sports since we were kids, so

391
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: like she would just always want us to keep us busy,

392
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: just put us in the right situation for us to

393
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: be successful. And then she was always honest with school academics,

394
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: like whenever we had under like a three point really

395
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: not if it wasn't a four point, Oh we're didn't

396
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: cheat out at So I remember I messed up. I

397
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: messed up in middle school. She was so disappointed. Oh

398
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: my gosh. I was like, damn, I can't do this again.

399
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: But then yeah, just she was just always like she

400
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: would just make it work. For some reason somehow she

401
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: would always just make it work. And then but that

402
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: always kind of just like especially me being the otis

403
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 3: to my sister, it was just more I gotta set

404
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: an example. So if I'm doing great, he'll hopefully push

405
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: her and then she's actually just got a scholarship to

406
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: Prairie View, Texas. She's smelling soccer right now.

407
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: I love that.

408
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: Very cool. You know. I always think like you can

409
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: say thank you to somebody or you can perform an

410
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: action that says thank you. And I think like you

411
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: taking summers to like get a job at Walmart Mart

412
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: and finding a way to get there without asking for rides,

413
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of a way of sort of being like,

414
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I thank you. I want to help kind

415
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: of shoulder this, Like that's not something that you have

416
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: to do, right. You have career goals, you want to

417
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: end up, you know, playing in the league for a

418
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: long time, and it would be, in my opinion, very

419
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: easy to say, I'm going to focus on doing that

420
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: right career opportunity and preparing for that. Why was it

421
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: important to you to go to go the extra mile

422
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: and you know, try to help in any way that

423
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: you could, damn.

424
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: Because like obviously college is expensive, but like it's just like,

425
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: after all, like she sacrificed so much for me, now

426
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: is more let me help her out by just I

427
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: hate I hate asking for favors as well. Like whether

428
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: it's teammates and stuff too. I don't know. I just

429
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: feel like I don't want to be a burden. I guess,

430
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: like I know, I know my teammates will always leave,

431
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: be always open and stuff. But it's just more.

432
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: It's like it's any like I want to I want

433
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: to do my part in this, my role in this.

434
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's more like me just trying to do

435
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: that than I ended up doing. Uh So, I worked

436
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: Walmart for us this summer and then once football started,

437
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: it was super hard. I can't watch academics by you.

438
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, academics are hard when I still didn't graduate.

439
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: But we're gonna we're gonna finish. We're gonna finish, right, Yes,

440
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: of course going to finish.

441
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: I feel like your mom's like she she's probably watching this, like, yes,

442
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna finish.

443
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: Oh no, hands down, Yeah, we're going to finish. Yeah,

444
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: do you?

445
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: Uh So? I read something that like one of the

446
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: jobs that you had while you're working at Walmart was

447
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: you would go out and get the shopping carts. Did

448
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: you have a specific way that you would go and

449
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: like what was your strategy to get the most shopping

450
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: carts that you could back in the Walmart.

451
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: It seems hark like once you like once it's a

452
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: long line, it's not going to co operate anymore.

453
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: It's like that that game on your phone, the snake.

454
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: Game Snake I O, yeah, yeah that one. No, So

455
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: like are you are you? Are you thinking in your

456
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: mind that I had like the actual cart thing, like

457
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: the cart moving.

458
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: No, you didn't have that.

459
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: I didn't have that. It was it was a neighborhood Walmart,

460
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,320

462
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480

Speaker 3: because like you were getting carts from all over from

472
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 3: eight different sections, and like you got people who just

473
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: put the car in a bunch of different places. So

474
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: like I got a lot of respect for them. So

475
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: like every time I see a car, I'm just like,

476
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: let me just oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because like that's

477
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: it's so every time I appreciate it.

478
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: Every time that you go to the grocery store and

479
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: you're done with it, your cart is going back in

480
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the back in yes, every single time, oh yes, back

481
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: inside the cart, right, yeah, it absolutely has to. And

482
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: let's also not forget that you're doing this job even

483
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: in the summer. You're still in Provo, Utah. Right, it's

484
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: still it's not the warmest, sunniest place every single day

485
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: of the year.

486
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: We did I meet a couple boys did a trash

487
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: trash pickup job twenty nineteen or twenty twenty twenty.

488
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, pre pandemic pre ooh, or during the pandemic.

489
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: During the pandemic during the pandemic. Happened when it was

490
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: like when spring, when spring was going on in right, yeah, yes, yeah.

491
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Wow, did we do that. I don't know it's.

492
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: Either twenty nineteen in the spring or twenty twenty. Yeah,

493
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: but that was a leg workout too, just grabbing like

494
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: like the trash ballet pickups, so like just going around

495
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 3: complexes picking up the trash, put them in the or

496
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: putting it in the bin, and then when the bin's full,

497
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: going to going to the bin, taking out the put

498
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: in the dumpster. Then got to go back to the

499
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: and just do it all. It was like four different

500
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: buildings to complexes.

501
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Uh, the last it was big Uyu experience related thing.

502
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: And I know I'm asking lots of deep questions. I

503
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: swear it's the last one. Finally getting the scholarship. Yeah right,

504
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: we talk about everything that we've been talking about. I mean,

505
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: I can't imagine just even just hearing the stories, I

506
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: can't imagine what that meant.

507
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, it was. It was It was a

508
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: weight lifted because that was that was my main goal,

509
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: Like like coming into college, it was more I need

510
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 3: to get the scholarship because I don't need my family

511
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: paying or worrying about tuition and worrying about having to

512
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: pay for that. So that was my goal for the

513
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 3: past two years. Then once I got that goal, it

514
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: was just like, oh my like the weight just lifted

515
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: off my shoulders. And then especially because like my mom

516
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to have any more debt that she would

517
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 3: have to pay and stuff, So it was like Okay,

518
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: I checked that off. Now let's go to the next school.

519
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: And I was just balling out the rest of my

520
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: the rest of the years, and then then like obviously

521
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: the next goal was to get to the NFL. But

522
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: like you you have to you can't think too far

523
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: ahead into the future because like any anything could happen anything,

524
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: So like that was kind of my mindset. You can't

525
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: think so far into the future because you just got

526
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 3: to take everything day by day. And like you'll hear

527
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: me say it in the media as well, like that's

528
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: literally how how I kind of like train myself because

529
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: like anything happened, you just got to like goods and bads.

530
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 3: But like if you just take it day by day

531
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: and just learn, then like everything else will play play.

532
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: It spart I think that's important too, because when I

533
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: think back on kind of like this was something that

534
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: as I was doing my research, it was like it

535
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: felt like your story had like these like parallel moments

536
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: where it's like you you are a preferred walk on

537
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm at BYU, and then you get a scholarship and

538
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm One of the quotes that I found was from

539
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: I think your position coach that was kind of like

540
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: he surprised us with what he could do. And then

541
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, you go into the NFL draft

542
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: and it's like your fifth round pick, and then you

543
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: go in your first year and you have a record

544
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: breaking year and it's like kind of surprised some people

545
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: there too. Do you kind of feel like that is

546
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: something that you hold on to as a source of

547
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: like pride, Like I'm going to go out here and

548
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm going to exceed expectations.

549
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: It's literally just making the most out of every opportunity

550
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: you can get because like obviously being overlooked, really just

551
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: being the underdog every Really my whole life been the underdog.

552
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like you would hope you like

553
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: it's kind of like a I would say, like like

554
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: you said, like a pride pride thing, because like I

555
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: like proving people wrong, and that's always like a chip

556
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: on my shoulder, like obviously, because like coming into high school,

557
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: people saying, oh, you're too stiff, you're too slow, YadA YadA,

558
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: and then proving them, Oh I went to college boom.

559
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 3: Oh but he's not on a scholarship. Boom got the scholarship.

560
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: Oh he can't have too. He can't he can't ball

561
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: out running back. Oh bought out. Now we're here. Oh

562
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: he can't do what he can in the league. Oh okay,

563
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: let me just show you, let me just prove you wrong.

564
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: So now it's just keep proving people wrong. Like obviously,

565
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: block out the outside noise, but now just just worry

566
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: about myself and just bawling and do what I can

567
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: for the team.

568
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: Stuff that I'm ready to run through a brick wall.

569
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that. So it's at this point

570
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: in the podcast. We used to call it rapid fire,

571
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: but it's never very fast. So we'll just say that.

572
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: We asked the same everybody in the chair, roughly the

573
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: same five questions, so we can get to those. Your

574
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: favorite The first is your favorite play.

575
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: Of your career.

576
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we've already talked about it, maybe we haven't.

577
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: Careers, It don't matter any NFL.

578
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: It can be high school, it can be college, whatever

579
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: you want to talk about. And we have had various

580
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 2: answers on the on the pod. It's interesting too to

581
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: see what people care about, like which I think it's

582
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: kind of funny.

583
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: I had three of them, man, okakay. Number one high

584
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: school Serrano Kaiser versus Serrano is a playoff game. It was?

585
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: It was Oh yeah, it was a crazy game. Yeah,

586
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 3: we went into overtime. It was fourth in maybe four

587
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: run the ball, give it the time. End up scoring

588
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: that play what I end up scoring it? Then the

589
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: defense made a stop game and then we lost the

590
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: next round.

591
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: Oh you know you want you want the playoff game.

592
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: That was playoff game.

593
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: So that's all that matters. Okay, college college.

594
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: I gotta say b au versus Virginia. That was a

595
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: fun game, super high scoring. It was like sixty something

596
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: to forty to fifty. Yeah, it was a super high

597
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: scoring game. I think I scored like five touchdowns.

598
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: It's basically like a track mate.

599
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was running.

600
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 3: It was crazy. No, but that it was just like

601
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: the off like we were like our offense was just

602
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: so on tune, like evers blocking, lineman doing their thing,

603
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: tight ends, every like it was just an offensive game.

604
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: It was just like we could like just.

605
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: Keep you could do whatever you want to essentially, no, exactly.

606
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then now NFL had to be my first

607
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: one sounding at Cincinnati because like my grandpa's from Cincinnati,

608
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: but he passed away from cancer. To your or it

609
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: might have been two or three years ago, but he

610
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: ended up. But he's from Indiana, so having that touchdown

611
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 3: and my whole family was there as well, so that's cool.

612
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: That was super special. Yeah.

613
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: I think you, like on your cleat stories wrote for

614
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the old Man, right, yeah, or cancer, either one of those.

615
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: I think that's that's pretty especially because it adds context

616
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: to what I know, Like a lot of Falcons fans

617
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: saw that moment, They're like, oh, like that's great, but

618
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: now you can you know, yeah really means yeah.

619
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: Man, Okay, question I love all those answers. Question number two,

620
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: who was your favorite player growing up? And this could

621
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: have been in any sport?

622
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, not to be football. I mean it could be.

623
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: Marsh On really.

624
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: Hands down, just watching highlight just.

625
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,080
