What 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: can you share with us that you don't mind the world. 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: Remember back when I lived in Washington State, there was 45 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: like a little this little uh patch of woods and 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: there's a new uh suburbs getting developed on the other side, 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: like a different neighborhood. Like I was in Tentnor Point. 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: This place was called Deerfield or something like that. And 49 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: we would sneak over to like the building site and 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: take the wood and make like we've made a treehouse 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: in the woods. Like there's like some path you can 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: go through from our side of the neighborhood, go through 53 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: the woods and you'd be into the other ones. We 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: would just sneak through all there and make a big, 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: big little treehouse upstairs. But somebody caught you on that one. 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Eventually some of the guys, like some of 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: the older guys got caught and they're like all right, 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: you know you guys in the woods, and like eventually 59 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: he just came down and just broke it down. All right, 60 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: Building a treehouse doesn't seem too bad. If all kids 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: get get in trouble doing that, well, I feel like nowadays, yeah, 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean it would be parents would be happy that 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: their kids are getting out and doing stuff as opposed 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: to being on their phones or maybe like Jordan playing 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: video games.

That's when I was really big into it 112 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: and everything. And then when I first moved to Georgia, 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: like in two thousand and seven or six, we went 114 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: to uh SmackDown, an e c W event in Columbus, 115 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: and that was pretty fun. What's the atmosphere? Like, I 116 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: always considered going to a SmackDown or Monday that Raw 117 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: or something. I've never gone, but I'm always curious what 118 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: the atmosphere was like. It actually was pretty high, like uh, 119 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: and do you think like like, so, when were you 120 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: hear the impact of the chair. He's like, oh crap, 121 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: like this dude really got hit in the back with 122 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: his chair. And it's just like you actually get the 123 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: here and you can almost feel the feel some of 124 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the hits and feel some of the slams like that 125 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: that I hit the man. Everything. We talked about it, 126 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: uh previously because your former outside linebackers coach, of course, 127 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: was k k G. Kevin Green, who participated in the 128 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: w c W himself, would you ever consider jumping in 129 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: to the squared circle? George Jenkins was asked to make 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: a guest appearance. I couldn't do it all. I did 131 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: always think think about doing uh going in m m A. 132 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: And then there was uh we did sparring, uh just 133 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: not even just mount transitioning at Georgia one morning for 134 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: like a summer like a spring workout, and it was 135 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: just five minutes just transitioning back and forth. I said, yeah, 136 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: I can't do this. It was miserable. It's gotta be exhausting, right, yeah, 137 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: they're throwing in kicks. It was just grounded pound for 138 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: like five like five minute intervals and it was just 139 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: it was the worst training. Are you yeah? An m 140 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: m A fan to this date, like oh yeah, yeah, 141 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: I don't watch as much uh as I used to before, 142 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: but like with some of a lot of the headliners 143 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: of the UM fighting, I'll get into it and watch 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: that one or whatever. And like the last one I 145 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: watched was Nate d Has his last fight. Uh he 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: got in a little early, he got a little gash 147 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: um that he was starting to make good, good little 148 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: push towards the end. But do you want to see 149 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: a rematch of that fight? Oh? Oh yeah, Nadreg would 150 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: be uh that's uh, that's what I'm still waiting to 151 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: see what do you think about the Notorious one Connor 152 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: McGregor in terms of the way he goes about promoting, 153 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: because it's hard to tell with him what is really Connor? 154 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: And also what's the act because he's a master showman. Yeah, 155 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean he's sort of just falling in the same 156 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: footsteps as Floyd Mayweather. Like he he was the guy 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: just was he started the whole thing of this promoting himself, 158 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: like doing everything in the house and just being a 159 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: little trashed, argy, show abouty kind of guy. And he 160 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: just tore modeled himself after that. And it's it's smart 161 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: business wise and everything. But then again you see what 162 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: him and could be even all this stuff, and like 163 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: you don't know, like like you said, what stage, what's real? 164 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: And it's just the authentic, the authenticity, I don't know 165 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: if I don't even there. It's one day, but it 166 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: comes into question, like you don't know it's really him. 167 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: It was just a persona Yeah, because you see him 168 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: attacking busses sometimes in Dublin. He was buying guys shots, 169 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and he hit the old man, yeah, 170 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: the old man. And I'm thinking to myself. Well, you 171 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: are trained fighter. I don't care. I know Connor's probably 172 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: a smaller man, probably probably called McGregor small. Listen, I 173 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: don't want I don't want to, I don't want a 174 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: piece of it. May be shorter, but guarantee he'd make stuff. Yeah, 175 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure. I don't know. Yeah, I think you'd have 176 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: a chance and listen to. But maybe if it was 177 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: us three combined, if I miss a plant's it's over 178 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: with because he's gonna grab it, you know. But he's 179 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: considered a striker, and I'm sure you could lay the lumber. Yeah, 180 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, I got some Yeah, you got big hands. 181 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: My point is when I hear about Connor McGregor in 182 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: a bar punching an elderly man, a guy who's up 183 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: there in age, I'm thinking myself, oh my god, this 184 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: guy's gonna die. Yeah, yeah, that is that. That does 185 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: come into questions. But there's some folks you just don't 186 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: mess with, all right. So if you were to have 187 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: a tag team and you have to choose one of 188 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: your teammates to be your partner, not necessarily because you 189 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: like him, but because you think he'd be good in 190 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: the ring, who are you choosing. It's a good question. Uh. 191 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: I would actually go with Nathan Shepard really solely because 192 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: he's just frequently strong, and he's unpredictable and if anybody 193 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: can take a point unprotectable on the field and off 194 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: the field shop and you would say, yeah, like I would. 195 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: I would let Chef take all the punches and then 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: go in there and be the clean up guy. Wow, 197 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: so you're really growing Chef to the wolves here. Yeah, okay, 198 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: I just could see Frankie Louisville coming off the top 199 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: rope would yeah, yeah, m CIA was my guy, one 200 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: of the hard He'd be Matt Hardy, That's what he 201 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: would be. Yeah, yeah, a little crazy. Yeah, yeah, I 202 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: love that. Bash would probably be like uh, Bash would 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: be great with the microphone. I think, yeah, he might 204 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: be a rig Flair type for maybe maybe h b K. 205 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna give Bash h b K. I can see 206 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: a little sweet him. Yeah. I think leaving a bow 207 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: would be interesting and one of those Oh yeah, yeah, 208 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: that is a good toss up there too. You know, 209 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: I guess he's a showman. Who's the guy you don't 210 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: want as your partner? Let's put it away. That's a 211 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: tough one Henry Anderson. Okay, I can see that, Henry, 212 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: but why why can't you see that? He's just unproportioned 213 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: and he always falls? No, no no, what we're doing, he's 214 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: always fallen, and when he falls he exaggerated. Watching him 215 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: fall is just like are you calling Henry a flopper? Yes, 216 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: Henry's a flopper, and he just when he falls, it's 217 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: just an unnecessarily awkward fall, Like it's I couldn't have him. 218 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: We get we get trash talk about so much and 219 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: it just me and Henry are just don't we can't 220 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: work together. Alright. We actually ride on the plane side 221 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: by side together too. Yeah, all right, listen, you talked 222 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: about Washington State before you traveled throughout your childhood and 223 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily just stopping by for vacation. What was it 224 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: like being part of a military family and what did 225 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: that provide you as far as experience wise? Uh, during 226 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: Wall was going on, it was kind of rough, you know, 227 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: every like sometimes just every two years you move. Sometimes 228 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: it's three years you move, and it's like you never 229 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: really had like a true like you didn't really have 230 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: a true identity growing up because's like, oh, well, lived 231 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: in warn in Texas nine months later, moved to South Carolina. 232 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: A year and a half later, moved to Alaska, stayed 233 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: there for two and a half three years, moved to California, 234 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: lived there for like maybe three or something years, and 235 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: moved to Washington. Lives for five and then finally got 236 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to Georgia until there for a little while. But it's 237 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: as a kid is tough because you don't really like, 238 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: you don't have any long lasting relationships, not relationships, but friendships. 239 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: And my sister was more outgoing. I was more quiet, 240 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: like quite like I'm smart and gifted athletically. She was 241 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: also kind of gifted athletically and she smart, but she's 242 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: just lazy at times. But she was the more outgoing, 243 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: uh one of the family. Like she was always into music, 244 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: was always she's the social queen or whatever. What's the 245 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: between you two.

My mom got tired of paying for daycare 248 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: and sent me to school early. And they never question 249 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: the age because the size. But looking back now as 250 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: an adult, um, it's definitely, uh, it was. It's sort 251 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: of to find who I am now because I going 252 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: all those different places. Uh, you get to interact with 253 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: different types of people and see different types of cultures, 254 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: and you know how to relate to someone that's maybe 255 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: not the same as you, like someone that didn't have 256 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: the same minds to this.

When you're putting on 337 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: the amount of weight that you did in high school, 338 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: you have to have five baggus of the protein shake, 339 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: peanut butter, triple decker sandwiches, and then go eat lunch. 340 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: Isn't it like sickening the amount that you consume? It 341 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: definitely sucks. Like having if you had first lunch at 342 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: at my high school and you had second block weight training, 343 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: you're pretty much screwed because you've just been just working out. 344 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: You just drank a protein shake. Like sometimes a lot 345 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: of guys don't like eating after they just finished working 346 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: out because just like I'm not really hungry, and then 347 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: you don't eat, and it messes up the muscle game 348 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: or the possible muscle game that you could have got. 349 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: But I mean half the time, I just like all right, 350 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: drinking protein shake like you'd have the sandwich. Or sometimes 351 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: guys are like, hit, take a couple of by ites 352 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: s throwed away. But most of the guys that really committed, 353 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: they just eat it and then get something in lunch. 354 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: You're like, all right, I don't know, huncky, but I 355 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: gotta eat anyway.

And I sat in the 396 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: car for like ten men and I said, well, he's 397 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: already out there, and I'm like, I'm not gonna sit 398 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: in the car all day. Got out the first day, 399 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: had fun, but I didn't want him to show it. 400 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: I was like, no, I have fun. I don't even 401 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: like it. And then Slowest Dirt that year, like me 402 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: and it was I was I think it was a 403 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: right guard at the time, and it was me and 404 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: this other Russian kid would always be the last two 405 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: guys in every sprint we had to do. And then 406 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: he also part time coach that league, and in fifth 407 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: grade came around, he coached again, got a little faster, 408 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: started understanding things a little bit better, and uh, I 409 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: had a good time. Like he would purposely make me 410 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: late to practice because we would have to. If you 411 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: were late, you had the bear call the field down 412 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: and back on the yards. That's so when you knew, 413 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: you're getting your stuff together and your dad's like, yeah, 414 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go yet, and you know you're 415 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: coming to practice later, Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of 416 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: arguments in the car, what um ma? And it'd be quiet, 417 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: like I just be like, man, you know him for 418 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: to be late, and I know you're not gonna tell 419 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: the other coaches. Yeah, I mean it was my fault, 420 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: but no, it's like he knew. He was like, oh, coachy, seign, 421 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: you don't get off easy. You gotta go to your 422 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: bear across. So so at what age did at at 423 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: what age did to change for you from being forced 424 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: to actually admitting that you like it. Obviously, now you're 425 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: on the professional level, it's pretty remarkable considering that you 426 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: were literally forced to play football. Yeah. I can't really 427 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: imagine you're playing soccer. I gotta be honest, And just 428 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at maybe it's like a center fullback 429 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, I just can't imagine you running around 430 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: a soccer field kicking. Yeah. It was pretty fun back, UH, 431 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: in my soccer days. But I actually didn't play in 432 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: sixth grade because my dad, Like I told you, my 433 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: dad went down to UM I think it was sorry, 434 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: the Major Academy or something like that, whatever it is, 435 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: some training ended to get in el pass with Texas, 436 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: and it was he had to be there for like 437 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: eight months out of the year. And I knew my 438 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: mom wouldn't gonna make me play football and UM because 439 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: he was gone, and I just remember them arguing on 440 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: the phone and Moll I'm saying, Oh, he didn't want 441 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: to do he didn't want to do it.
