Speaker 1: Salute to Service Award, a huge honor that recognizes everything

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: you've done for the military community through your initiative. So

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: tell me how it feels to receive an award and

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: be recognized in that way.

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an honor, I think. You know, as professional athletes,

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 4: we have such great platforms to give back to the

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: community in the middle Terry's been something that I've had,

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: you know, an affinity for really my whole life, and

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: so to be honest, that way is awesome. It's exciting

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: because you know, more eyes to foundations means you know,

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 4: more visibility and more money going to great causes that

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: can help people.

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And I have to say the surprise was

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: great for those who haven't seen it. Can you share

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: what went down from your perspective? I know George was

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: in on it. Were you like confused when you saw

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: him on the zoom screen?

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 4: You know there's always something with George, but anytime he's

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: in on something, he does it big.

36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: And it was so much fun. Huge onreing.

37
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 4: I know, he's somebody that gives a lot of his time,

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: of his effort, of his money back to the community.

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: So to receive, you know, to receive that honor from

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: him means a lot.

41
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, You've dedicated a lot of time over the years

42
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: supporting the military community.

43
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: I want to know where does that connection come from

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: for you?

45
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: I think for me, you know, growing up in Colorado,

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 4: you know, I'm right next to the Air Force base,

47
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: have a lot of buddies who went to Air Force

48
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: or went to Army, or went to Navy, whatever may be,

49
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: and so you know, it was always just instilled in

50
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: us that you know, we're playing football, playing basketball, playing

51
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: baseball growing up. You know, there's people who are sacrificing

52
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: everything from you know, their lives to limbs to you know,

53
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: time away from their families, and then all the stuff

54
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: that comes after they return home from war, you know,

55
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 4: with the mental challenges and the emotional challenges that come

56
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 4: with it, let alone the physical ones. So it just

57
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: always been something I've been very appreciative of and gotten

58
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: to spend a lot of time with, you know, active

59
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: duty military members and veterans, and it always amazes me

60
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: how inspiring those guys are.

61
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

62
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: I mean you've said it with your twenty three and

63
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Troops initiative that you want these veterans to receive the

64
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: same quality of care that athletes do, so that means

65
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: top of the line treatment. What does that look like

66
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: in action?

67
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: Yeah?

68
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: So it also you know, for me, it started when

69
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: I read a stat that said twenty two veterans commit

70
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: suicide every day, and that hit me hard.

71
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: That's every day.

72
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know I thought, man, I wonder how

73
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: I could make a difference and chopping that number down

74
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: and hopefully getting it to zuo eventually, And you know,

75
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: As a football player, we take such great care of

76
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: our bodies. You know, it's twenty four to seven on

77
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: the clock, you know, especially with stuff with you know,

78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: your head and neck and all the different stuff that

79
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: come with that, and so I thought, you know, my

80
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: goal initially was, let me try to provide all the

81
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: stuff that professional athletes get and give those to the military.

82
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: And you know, we have such a great team of

83
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: people here at the NINERS who help take care of you,

84
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: but there's only so many hours in the day and

85
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: there's one hundred guys that they have to treat, and

86
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: so it is the onus is a lot of times

87
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 4: on the athlete to go out and get that outside care.

88
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: And I've learned that that's very similar in the military,

89
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: where when you're done, it's not that people don't want

90
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: to help, because there's a million foundations that want to help,

91
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: it's just finding the right ones and really understanding what

92
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: it is that they need. And so with my initiative,

93
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: we put them through basically a nine month trial run

94
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: where we do blood work panels, full body mriyes, functional scans.

95
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: We try to find every metric we can that's going

96
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: on with these guys. These men, women and figure out

97
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: exactly what's wrong. And when you know what's wrong and

98
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: you know the data and you can kind of take

99
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: a look under the car, it's I don't want to

100
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: say easier, but you can take a step in the

101
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: right direction figure out exactly how you want to help

102
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: these people.

103
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: And so that's what we do.

104
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: It takes a long time, you know, it's it's not

105
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: an overnight thing. You know, it's one thing I've realized.

106
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: It's very difficult and it's there's not an easy fix.

107
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 4: But I think just continuing to, you know, just stack

108
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: the time and the effort one by one, one day

109
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: at a time, hopefully we can get some great results.

110
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I do have to say that this

111
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: care is very intentional, so your recognition is very well deserved.

112
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I want to transition to another important role that you have,

113
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: and that's the role of being a dad. You and Olivia,

114

Speaker 3: It's amazing. Yeah, it's the best thing in the world.

118
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: I think, you know, it's it's tough to explain, but

119
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: you know, just coming home after a long day, whether

120
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 4: it was good or bad, it just it takes all

121
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: of the past away from you and you get to

122
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 4: focus on spending some time with her, and it's it's

123
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: it's so much fun.

124
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: It's been so.

125
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: Cool watching Olivia become a mom and seeing how much

126
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 4: she loves it, and man, it's just it's such a blessing.

127
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've mentioned in the past that you've always wanted

128
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: to be a dad, So is there anything that surprised

129
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: you about fatherhood so far?

130
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: I didn't, you know, I think nothing's surprising, and it

131
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: really is a blessing. I mean it, I didn't realize

132
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: how much I'd love it. You know, I new i'd

133

Speaker 4: like it. But you know, even the hard times, you know,

134
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: she you know, whether it's difficult or not, it's you

135
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: just learn to appreciate that so much. And watching her

136
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 4: grow every day, you know, it happens so quickly, and

137
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: so I'm just trying to appreciate this time because you know,

138
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,200

00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: you so much stoy. Is there any other little milestones

141
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: that she's hit that you've been really surprised about.

142
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's making a lot of noises, you know, just

143
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: when she smiles at you, when she laughs, she's starting

144
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: to almost roll over. I could tell she wants to walk,

145
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: which she can't yet. But that's just all the little things,

146
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: you know. It's like, you know, it's amazing watching her

147

Speaker 2: Awesome.

150
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Well, while we're on the topic, I'm going to ask

151
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: you if you rapid fire dad theme questions, So just

152
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 1: your first instinct, are you ready?

153
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Yep?

154
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to change your first

155
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: diaper versus how long does it take you now?

156
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: I took my time on the first one. I changed

157
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: her first diaper actually in the hospital. I didn't have

158
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: a clock on it. I figured that was the warm

159
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: up session. But now I'm pretty good. I do it

160
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: pretty quickly, but I'm definitely not as quick as my

161
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: wife or my mom or her mom or anybody else,

162
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: just because I take my time. I want to make

163
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: sure I get it right.

164
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: She's nice and comfortable.

165
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Which teammate would you most trust to watch baby Collette

166
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: babysit her?

167
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I think Juice would do a

168
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: good job. Okay, I think he did.

169
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't have kids, risk, but I think he would

170
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: do a good job.

171
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: I trust him.

172
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: I feel like the trusty answer is like a John

173
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Weeks of Thomas Morristeat because.

174
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: My initial thought was Thomas, because he's got so many kids,

175
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: and you know, he's talked about it. He's always like,

176
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: you need to enjoy this time. It happens so quickly,

177
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: and so he can appreciate this time. But I got

178
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: to go with my dog.

179
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course he's a vent in the dad game.

180
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: But Jews sounds like a great babysitter. Well, while we're

181
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: talking about the talents outside of football, because you're a

182
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: very musical household with you, Olivia, everyone in there got

183
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: a lot of talents. One of them is that you

184
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: play piano. So I'm going to paint a picture. Halloween

185
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: is over, the holidays are coming up, so we're going

186
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: to create a band out of guys in the locker room.

187
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: Are you ready to put it together?

188
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm ready.

189
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Sweet, So obviously you're on the piano, but let's build

190
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the band.

191
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: Who is the lead singer?

192
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: Lead singer? Uh, lead singer. Do we have anybody that

193
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: can sing?

194
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: I mean, who do you think would give it the

195
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: best shot? Who's always singing? Maybe in the locker.

196
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: George would commit the best honors. And he's he's got

197
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: the charisma and the aura around him where he would

198
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: draw a crowd. So I'd go George.

199
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: George is the lead singer, who's on the drums.

200
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: On the drums, I'd have to go my dog, Juwan Jennings.

201
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: I feel like Jawan would kill it on the drums.

202
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: Nice Juwan. We've got now the guitarist.

203
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 3: Guitarist, I go Chase Lucas. Okay, I just want chasing.

204
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: My band's got the best energy.

205
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: All right, we'll close it out with the performance. Who's

206
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: choreographing the dancing for like a music video of this band?

207
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourne, He answered Kabe on stage, he'd have the

208
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 4: whole crowd doing something.

209
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: This is fun.

210
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're playing piano, George is the lead singer,

211
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Chase Lucas the guitarist, who's on the drums. Again, Joan's

212
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: on the drums, and then Kab's choreographing at all.

213
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: What's the name of this group? What's the name of

214
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: the album.

215
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. You put me on the spot.

216
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: I haven't thought about this, but uh, oh man, I

217
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: don't know.

218
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: I probably call it nine Game or.

219
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: Something for now, I gotta pick of something more creative.

220
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 4: I haven't thought about a name. O.

221
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: Good, We'll get there, all right. Let's transition over to

222
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: some fan questions. The Faithful submitted some questions directly for you, Christian.

223
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: First one up is what music do you recommend on

224
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: game day?

225
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: Oh, that's tough.

226
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: I always I like listening to gospel music on game day,

227
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: especially you know, on Sundays early in the morning kind

228
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 4: of get my mind right, and then after that anything

229
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: with a big beat, you know. So there's a lot

230
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: of like EDM or house music that I like is

231
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: try to get in the fast mindset.

232
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Awesome. What are some of your go tos recently that

233
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: the Faithful could put on their playlist?

234
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: Oh? Man, honestly, it's so random. I used to have

235
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: on on Spotify my pregame year two playlists, and I

236
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: would come up with it before the season and I'd

237
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: shuffle it and that would those would be my songs.

238
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: And in my ninth year, I've just I've run out

239
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 4: of songs. I'm like, I just hear the same songs

240
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 4: over so I really it's more of a whatever I'm

241
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 4: feeling in that day. Yeah, recent like last game, I

242
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: listened to Electric Feel by MGMT like thirty five times

243
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: in a row.

244
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't know why, you just put it on. So

245
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: I was feeling that day and I just repeated it.

246
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 4: And then you know, when you get a win and

247
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: you play that song that you were listening to before,

248
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: it's kind of comes full circle.

249
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: It was.

250
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 3: That was a good one.

251
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I love it bookending the game with a really good song.

252
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: What's your favorite holiday?

253
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: I like Christmas.

254
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: It's not a better holiday.

255
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christmas. Were playing Niner Gang by the Christian McCaffrey.

256
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: George Kittle Jennings fan.

257
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: Awesome.

258
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Now, this fan says, after seeing your dig lit drawing,

259
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: who is your Pokemon? Are you a Pokemon kind of guy?

260
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 4: My my older brother is a big Pokemon guy. I

261
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: played a little bit growing up, but I just know

262
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: the basic ones. Okay, who would be my Pokemon? I

263
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: was like Blast Toys, Big Turtle with the like cannons.

264
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure George geeks out over that stuff.

265
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they play like on the plane they'll play.

266
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

267
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: Fun Now, this question I thought was really funny how

268
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: the fan wrote it out. It says, how did the

269
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: entire bloodline make it to the NFL? What's the secret?

270
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: Because you your brother, your.

271
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: Dad, what was the secret sauce growing up in that

272
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: McCaffrey family.

273
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

274
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: Probably my mom my mom's cooking. Yeah, it was, yeah,

275
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: homemade meals from from Mama Lisa. Now, I don't know,

276
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: I think that's not an easy answer. It's it's there's

277
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: so much that goes into you know. I got to say,

278
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: you know, every day, I feel so grateful for my parents.

279
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: You know, they did such a great job, and having

280
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: four boys is tough, but I just feel really blessed

281
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: and fortunate for my my parents and my brothers because

282
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: we were so tight knit. You know, we did everything together.

283
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: We played multiple sports growing up, we all kind of

284
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: beat to the same drum, and it was just it

285
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: was a lot of fun growing up in that household.

286
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: And you know, you always say like, you don't know

287
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: when you're in the good old days until you've actually

288
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: left them. And I look back on my childhood and

289
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: you know, snow football days and playing basketball in the driveway,

290
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: whatever it was, we did it together. And I'm just

291
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 4: you know, having good people around you, having you know,

292
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: great friends that we had that are still our best

293
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: friends to this day. I think it's all about the

294
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: people you surround yourself with in the community that you have.

295
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's not one thing.

296
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 4: It's not like you know, obviously the hard work and

297
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 4: all that stuff is great, but I think, you know,

298
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: just all of us doing everything together was such an important,

299
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: you know, pivotal role in our childhood.

300
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Awesome.

301
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, community is so important. Well, Christian, that's all we've
