We moved to Hawaii when I was yeah, 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.560 like three or four. Yeah. I didn't get my citizenship 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.679 until I was seventeen years old. Maybe really, yes, I 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.400 was on green cart up until that point. So my 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.120 junior of high school is when I finally got my 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.120 US passport and stuff like that. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.800 Oh my god, it's crazy. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.800 That is crazy. What I actually just became a citizen 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.320 a couple of years ago. Yeah, I'm from Canada, and 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.800 it's like such a rigamarole to go through together, all 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.560 that stuff done, it is, Yeah, I mean yeah, coming 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.360 in you had no choice.

So, like I'm 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.040 pretty sure my mom and dad had to take a test. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.000 I just was like, oh, here's my passport. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.360 So it was oh, yeah, that test, that quiz. You're like, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.680 oh my good please, that's so crazy. On a green 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.320 cart up until you're seventeen. That's that's interesting. So what 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.320 is your nationality. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.080 I'm half Romanian, half Filipino, so yeah, you know, my 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.640 mom's like straight out of the Philippines. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.080 My dad straight out of Romania. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.360 And they met in Japan, so my mom was like 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:23.200 studying and working in Japan and my dad went over 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.000 there for a job. They met in the club. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.160 And love. Yeah, exactly where you find it. So when 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.280 you were miked up recently, you're doing a strange bird 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.400 call on the field. What's the bird call? 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.680 Yeah, it's just like a thing that Stan made up. 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.640 Like Stan whenever he would take me out, he would 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.680 make the bird call, and then when he would take 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.160 Jamar and it would take the bird call. So it's 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.640 kind of like between me and Jamar and Stan, like 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.360 we all have that like that noise can you like Stan, oh, 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.960 and then we go get or Jamar and then he 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.440 because you can, he'd be all the way down the 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.800 field and you can't, like Jamar Jamar to get up, 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.600 you have to do that bird call and he can 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.320 hear it all and so he knows to get out. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.680 So it's pretty pretty. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.800 That's great.

Gellette Labs is not your 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.880 dad's razor. It's Jellette's ultimate shaving experience. Let's talk about 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.400 that first touchdown. What an incredible moment. And then the 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.240 moment with Burrow giving you the ball. Talk to me 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.080 a little bit about that. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.320 Yeah, and your birthday. Yeah, and it was your birth day. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.960 Yeah, I cut the ball obviously, but then I saw 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.120 a flag in the backfield and so like usually when 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.320 a flag is throw in the backfield. It's a holding 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.760 penalty on the offense. So I kind of just like 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.560 threw the ball away because nobody saigned anything. Nobody was celebrating, 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.840 so I just stood there waited for someone to signal 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.760 something and then everyone started going crazy and then me 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.359 and T did the dance that we said we were 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.160 going to do like. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.640 For how how many weeks? 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.200 Yeah, but I completely forgot about the ball, and Joe 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.600 was like he like I saw the video after he 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:28.400 like ran like. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.320 He was asking like where's the ball? Where's Yeah? And 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.400 that's that was pretty boy like super boys of him. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.839 So yeah, like what does that kind of say about 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.799 Joe Burrow as like a human and like as an athlete, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:38.520 as a quarterback. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.680 I mean, you can just tell like he knows how 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.760 much like little things mean to people. If I forgot 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.200 the ball, I would have been like, oh, like I 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:45.880 forgot that ball. 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:46.320 I would have. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.880 Been it was it would have been a nice day. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.360 But I've been like, dang, I wish I had something 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.440 like memory. Yeah, And so you can tell he like 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.000 he thinks about the little things, and you know that's 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:55.720 how he plays the game. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.880 So you were the most physically perfect, esmon should go 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.200 through the comfine getting the score of nine point nine 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.240 six almost perfect? Does it kind of kill you that 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.800 it wasn't perfect? Was that it didn't get that time? 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.680 Yeah? I mean I was. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.480 I wanted to be like one of the best. I 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.640 mean I was based on like this raz score whatever, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.320 like Combin score. I was like one of the best ever. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.080 But I was aiming to be the best. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.320 But what do you think gotten the way? 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.200 What was it?

So but yeah, mostly 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.559 food and like expenses, some clothes, like some shoes I've 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.240 been buying more. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.280 Shoes now, like a sneaker guy becoming one. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.760 I didn't I didn't really like to spend like a 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.480 bunch of money before I wasn't making my own money. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.680 So I feel bad if I like spent my parents' 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.199 money buying stuff, you know what I mean. But yeah, 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.280 I'm just kind of upgrading a bit. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.959 Get a little tighter, get that fit going right. You're 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.120 one of the few Asian Americans that are playing in 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.880 the game. Is that something that do you recognize that? 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.680 Yeah? Definitely. I think it's super cool. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.959 And I think you know, a lot of people from 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.880 Hawaii are Asian too, like descent, so it's like, I 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.480 think it puts a lot of people on the map 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.000 in that respective perspective or like respect. You know, a 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.040 lot of Asian Americans can look at me if they're 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.319 not in Hawaii and be like, Okay, look, you can 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.560 look up to him as a as a role model, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.200 and even in Hawaii you can just look at that 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.120 as well me being from Hawaii and being Asian. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.839 It's like, it's I think it's really cool. 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.760 Yeah, it's very cool. Going from Hawaii to Princeton, the 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.760 beautiful midwest of Cincinnati. What do you miss the most 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.480 about Hawaii. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:52.520 I mean everything. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.240 You know, when I was when I first moved from 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.680 Hawaii to Princeton, that was probably like the saddest I've ever. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.920 Been in my whole life. Yeah, you know it was. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.840 I went from beaches like seeing the ocean and the 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.160 mountains within, Like I could just look to my left 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.599 and right and I could just see the ocean in 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.800 the mountains and the best food in the world, I mean, 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.319 in my opinion, Yeah, those poke bowls or oh yeah, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.560 like a real pokele like that, like the stuff you 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.400 put like cucumbers and stuff in it. You just eat 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.200 fish and rice and that's all you need. Yeah, but yeah, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.839 I mean just yeah, Hawaii, just everything about it. I 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.800 think on the obviously it's a little bit slower pace 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.800 in Hawaii, so but being on them, I want to 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.720 raise my kids there. So as long as my time 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.559 here goes like, I'll stay on the mainland, but I 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.679 definitely want to go back and race. 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.760 Yeah, and your time here in Cincinnati, what's kind of 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.240 stuck out to you?
