1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, and welcome to the latest edition of

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Falcus and Focus. I'm Scott Bear, Tory mclaney, and the

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: heat seeking missile to my left is Troy Troy Anderson.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: He's had that nick name picked up for a minute,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: I have. Yeah, I was very proud of it too.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: It was mostly after watching you catch that long punt

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: return the other day. I was like, oh my gosh,

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: shot out of a cannon. But nonetheless, to go over

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the man's whole resume would take the entire podcast. But

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: trust me, he won a lot of state titles at

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: beaver Beaverhead County, Beaverhead County High School, the Pride of

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Beaverhead County High School state titles and track in basketball,

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: in football. But my favorite among all those things is

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: that you were the valedictorian of your high school. So

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: the question in that is did you have to give

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: a speech at graduation? And what was it? And what

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: was it and was it good? Um? I don't know

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: if it was good. I did have to give one. Um,

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, I guess we only graduated. Maybe I

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't tell, but I think I only graduated with like

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: eighty eight kids or something. Okay, I graduated with ninety

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: like I think it was anywhere from like ninety to

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: ninety five, and I was in the top ten percent,

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: but I was not I was not number one. Unfortunately.

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: That's fair. Do you think the other eighty eight kids

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: were like inspired by what you said? No, I don't

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: think so. I think they were just trying to trying

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: to get out of there. Exactly. He's like, all right,

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: time and it's gonna be exactly five minutes now. We

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: actually have a bunch of questions about your childhood in Montana,

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: growing up outside of just outside of Dylan. Um, and

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: essentially we've done our research, but we still have so

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: many questions because I want to know. Now Scott has

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: told me this, your family lived in a home that

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: was from the eighteen nineties, Is that correct? I guess yeah,

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Like when I was earlier, were you like younger and

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: crazy old house? Like I don't know, it was the

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: greatest hide and go seat house. Um. But yeah, then

39
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: we that we moved out of it, which is to

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: my I guess it was kind of a bummer. Yeah,

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: you didn't have anywhere to hide anymore? Yeah, exactly, I

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: mean like five levels high between you and your sister

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: must have been pretty intense, Like those hide and seat

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: games were Oh yeah, you like over there and it's

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: like you may never get found. That's the other side

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: of it. So what is Dylan Montana? Like, I come

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: from San Diego. I'm a city slicker. Tor is not.

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not, No, I'm actually my my hometown is Chickamauga, Georgia.

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: We had one red light one which I feel like

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: it's probably similar to it is we have two, wow tall,

51
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: but one of them one of them turns off like

52
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: ten pm. I feel like technically though, like because like

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Chickamauga city limits is so small, like there are other

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: red lights like around us obviously, but in the city

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: it's one. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a yeah, I mean

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: kind of similar. It's a small town that I don't

57
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: you know everybody you go into the two grocery stores,

58
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: stop and talk to everybody. Yeah. So, I mean it

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: was a super fun place to grow up and yeah, man,

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I love it there. Now your family um owns a

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: cattle ranch. About how many cattle are we talking? Um?

62
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean like seven hundred That is a great many cows. Yeah,

63
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: that's and I was reading I should shout it out.

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: An excellent feature story on you from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: It was massive and I think you were a sophomore

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: in college something like that, and uh, it just had

67
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of great details and it sounds like it

68
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: wasn't like your parents made you get up at five

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: am before school and then go to school and then

70
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: come back. So when you were asked to like work

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: on the ranch, but it was during the summer on

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: a weekend, Like what does that typically entail? I mean,

73
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: it kind of depends on the time of year. Like

74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: if you're in the summer, you're you're you're either hang

75
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: so I would either cut the hay or rake or

76
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: bail um or we'd go up to like our summer

77
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: place and move our cattle to different different past years

78
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: and stuff. Um or just like sorting cows and you know,

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: vaccinating kind of all the all the super fun stuff,

80
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: super fun stuff. Some of it. Some of it is fun,

81
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: but some of it's a little bit monotonous and you're

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: out in cold weather sometimes. But um, yeah, I mean

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: it was. It was an awesome upbringing and you know,

84
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate my parents for everything that they've supported me.

85
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: And provided for for my sister and I. So it

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: was it was great. So technically you are a cowboy? Yeah,

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Like do you have a horse when you talk about

88
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: moving cattle? Like I think of like actual like cowboys

89
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: on horses, like actually moving the cattle. Yeah, so we

90
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: do it a little bit more efficiently. We just have

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: four rulers. Yeah, it's way bad. Yeah, you don't have

92
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: to You don't have to saddle or feed a four wheler.

93
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Just a little gas, a little gas here and there,

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: and yeah, a little bit quicker. I love that. But

95
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: you do you have horses? Do y'all have? No, we

96
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: don't anymore. We used to have some, and my sister

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: would rodeo, but I I think I didn't like like

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: riding horses because she liked it. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah,

99
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: it was just the younger brother thing, you know. I

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: also wanted to ask, because you her name's Holly, right,

101
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: your sister, and she's a couple of years older than you,

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: what are some things that y'all would get into when

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: y'all were younger? Because it seems like y'all have a

104
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: good relationship now that y'all are older. But was it

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: like that when y'all are younger too. Yeah, I mean

106
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: growing up out of town, it's like, all right, we'd

107
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: get mad at each other, but once you realize you're

108
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: mad at each other, but you have no one else

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: to hang out with because your friends are in town

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: and you can't ride your bike ten miles right when

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: you're ten years old. So yeah, we hung out a lot,

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: and I mean really close to this day, but I

113
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean riding bikes and just playing on

114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: hay bales. And we had like we had cats around

115
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: like farm like old barn cats everywhere, hurting cats. It

116
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: was fun. I love that. Now, Um getting into kind

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: of like what, um, I don't know, like what are

118
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: some of your like favorite memories of kind of growing

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: up in I don't know, in this environment of because

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not an environment that I think

121
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people grow up in in terms of

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: like a living on a working farm and like living

123
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: or ranch or I don't know exactly what you'll call it,

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: but like living and seeing your parents kind of operating

125
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: this really big operation. What was that kind of like

126
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: as you were growing up? Man, I don't know. I

127
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: guess around Dylan, that's kind of the norm. Right, So

128
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, it's cool, like be outside doing

129
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: something different every day. It's not like you're you're sitting

130
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: at a desk punching in numbers and doing, you know,

131
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: a monotonous task every day of the year. Um, there's

132
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: seasons and it changes, which I think is I mean,

133
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I know that's why my parents like it. My dad

134
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and I like it. Um, it's just kind of you

135
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: never know what you're gonna wake up and do. And

136
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of similar to football. It's like you never

137
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: know who you're gonna play and what kind of style

138
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna gonna bring or what plays are gonna run

139
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: that day. Um. Yeah, and I mean it was. It

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: was awesome. It's kind of being outdoors and being with

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: animals and doing kind of challenging, fun stuff. I have

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: one more question on this topic. Um, I read that

143
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: your dad said that you're I might even mispronounce this,

144
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: that you're good driving a swather. Oh yeah. I had

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: to look it up on the internet because it wasn't

146
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: quite sure, and it is. Everybody do it. It's like

147
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: a massive I don't know how you could be good

148
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: driving that thing. First of all, can you explain to Yeah,

149
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: I know, because I definitely don't know what it is.

150
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: And is it hard to drive? Um, okay, I'll get

151
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: to it if it's hard to It just like cuts

152
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: the hay. So we have like we like have alfalfa

153
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: and you'll cut it and then you let it dry

154
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: and rake it and then you get like the big

155
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: round bills. So I just assumed like the first process

156
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: is cutting it with the swath. Is the swath the

157
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: one where it like has the wings or am I

158
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: thinking of something else. It's just like a big long

159
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: thing with a bunch of blue and puts it down. Um.

160
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: And as to driving it, yeah, so we used to

161
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: have one that you'd actually have to drive. But technology

162
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: is awesome. I have these things called satellites that now

163
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: you just push a couple of buttons and then it

164
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: drives itself. Get out of towel. It's like going from

165
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the horse to the a TV. Like there's just a

166
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: thing right. Technology, Man, it really helps us all out. Yeah.

167
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Hard to mess it up when when you're not actually

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: doing it. I'll take the credit. Yeah, I appreciate it. Um.

169
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: In addition to your very long athletic resume, your football

170
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: resume includes playing Let's see if I can get them

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: all right, running back, quarterback, linebacker. Am I missing question?

172
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: Is there a position that you haven't played that you

173
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: wanted to? Um? I don't think I want to play

174
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: offensive line or corner, so it really tough. But the

175
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: really be fast enough for it their state champ. But

176
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I took a snap at

177
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: every other position though in college. Wow. I read one

178
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaches there said his true love is

179
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: playing linebacker. That yeah, yeah, I mean I think I

180
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: always wanted it, always wanted to play defense, and it

181
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: was kind of play offense out of necessity. Um, but yeah,

182
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean defense and playing linebackers is more fun in

183
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: my opinion. Interesting. Also another quote that we found, Um well,

184
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: it was interesting because you said quote that you weren't

185
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: good enough to play in college like that was something

186
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: that we found like online, and it's like that is

187
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: so funny to kind of when you're younger for you

188
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: to say that now to be where you are now,

189
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: do you did you really feel that way when you

190
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: were going into college. I don't even I don't think. No,

191
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember saying it. Um. Yeah, I don't. I

192
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: don't know, I guess where that trum. It's like you

193
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: always have like some self to alto when you're going

194
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: into a new situation, but it was like you're confident

195
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: you can work through it in your abilities. Just what's

196
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: been really cool. So we get to interact with fans

197
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: a lot, and the amount of emails, social media interaction

198
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: from people from Montana is freaking overwhelming. Yeah, it's really impressive,

199
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: it is. What's the experience kind of like to know

200
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that like you've out a whole Montana state slash, the

201
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: State of Montana fan base like following you, pulling for you.

202
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: They seem very supportive of everything that you're doing. Yeah,

203
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's awesome. I think I've said it

204
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: like Montana has a million people and that I mean

205
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: it's not that many for the size of the fourth

206
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: biggest state. I mean only has a million people. Um,

207
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: so you kind of know everybody, like you've you've met him,

208
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: or you've met somebody that knows somebody. Um. Yeah, and

209
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: it's it's been awesome to kind of feel that support

210
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: and have people reach out. I mean it means a lot.

211
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Montana supports other Montanas when it's

212
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: like when you see him, like when a growing up,

213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: if we saw something about Montana and like the national news,

214
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: we thought it was awesome. It didn't matter if it

215
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: was good or bad. It's like we made it. So

216
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: it's it's been. It's been a lot of fun so far.

217
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: That's so great. It was funny too because I was

218
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: talking too. So when we were up in Seattle the

219
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: um there was a group of about I think seventy

220
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: five girls from Montana high schools that came out to

221
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: Seattle and they play flag football, and it was funny

222
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: because I can't remember who I was talking to. I

223
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: think it was one of their coaches. When you walked

224
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: up and you were kind of talking to some of

225
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: the girls, they're like, it's like the Beatles, They're like

226
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: they all know him, they all think he's really cool.

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's so sweet. But it really

228
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: did kind of feel that way on that day. Did

229
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: it feel that way for you? Was it kind of like, hey, guys, yeah,

230
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. You didn't know what to say that guys.

231
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: It's cool though. It's cool of the event that they

232
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean that they got they got started up there. Well,

233
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, now you go. Now that you live out here,

234
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: this is your first time living out of state kind

235
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: of like what's the experience like getting to know Atlanta

236
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: and getting to know Atlanta fans who have been really

237
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: supportive of you as well. Yeah, I mean it's been

238
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: great obviously. I mean the games are fun, and we

239
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: play in an incredible stadium. Um yeah, I mean it

240
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: gets it gets loud and raucus in there, and it's

241
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean do you feel the support for sure? Hopefully

242
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: we can continue to win games and win over even

243
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: more people. But yeah, it's been it's been awesome. It

244
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: was interesting because I feel like I see your family

245
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: at a lot of events that the Falcons are doing,

246
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: whether that be when I believe they were at they

247
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: came to training camp, that come to a lot of games.

248
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: Is that like I don't know, do they fly in

249
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: like all the time, just like direct flight to Atlanta always? So,

250
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean they've made it too. I mean they made

251
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: it to the first three games and then they were

252
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: at the San Francisco game. Um yeah, I mean, which

253
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: it's not a short trip, right, Yeah, it means I

254
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: think there's there's one direct flight from Montana to Atlanta.

255
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's been awesome to be able

256
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: to see them and um just kind of share this

257
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: experience with them. Going back to I've seen a video

258
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: of this, and I need to know if this is

259
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: like how it really wasn't night but the night that

260
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: you were drafted. There's a video and it looks like

261
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: the moment that you were drafted, and it's like you

262
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: and your family are just kind of like standing there

263
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: and like a lot of and it's like you can

264
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: just see the like happiness and joy on you'all spaces.

265
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: But it's funny because the juxtaposition of that is like

266
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: so many people have these big old parties and it's

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: loud and there are so many people, But for you guys,

268
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: it really felt like it was a very like important,

269
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: like family moment. Is that kind of how it was

270
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: that night or was this kind of just a video

271
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: that I saw? I mean, yeah, it was kind of

272
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: just a cool moment that it's like, I don't know,

273
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a super like flashy person, and I had

274
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: got the call a few minutes before, so like we

275
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: had already hugged and stuff, Like people were talking like

276
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: they're like telling my mom like, you didn't even give

277
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: him a hugged right, I was like, ye, so, but yeah,

278
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean it was a it was a cool moment

279
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: just to kind of share with close family and friends.

280
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: I think Frank Bush when I think he was talking right, Yeah,

281
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: he told me he was like when he came to

282
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: your pro day, Um, he was like it was something

283
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: where I felt his speed. He was talking about like

284
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: your overall speed as a player. And I thought that

285
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: was such a interesting quote. When you do you remember

286
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: like your pro day and meeting Frank Bush and kind

287
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: of what your initial thoughts were of, Hey, this is

288
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: a team that's kind of interested in me, maybe this

289
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: is something that could work out. Yeah, I mean I

290
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: got to talk with him at the pro day, um,

291
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: and then it was just like, all right, try not

292
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: to mess this up. That sounds like something Frank Bush

293
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: would say, don't mess it up brow. Yeah, So I

294
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: mean it was It was fun though to kind of

295
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: connect with him, and he ran some of the drills

296
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I just tried to do my best

297
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: and apparently I did all right. And now it's time

298
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000

00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: a dram a dramaticize what's the word drama dramatized dramatized

337
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: version of like a certain lifestyle. And it's like I

338
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: feel like yellow sounds pretty like it's very drama oriented.
