22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: you could say you could use a nap right now.

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I could. I actually woke up pretty early thinking I

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: still was playing basketball today. But um, I could definitely

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: use a nap Lott vacation maybe, yes, for sure, So

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: take me through that process. You and Josh are kind

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: of similar right now, both trying to do your job

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: and be a professional athlete and this crazy life of

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: COVID that we're living. Yeah, like you mentioned, it's a

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: crazy time right now. But I'm just thankful that I

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: was able to get the opportunity to continue to play

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: basketball when a lot of people are out of job

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: right now. Um, So I'm just thankful that, you know,

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to play. And then also, uh see

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: my brother starting his season up is a great too,

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: So happy. And you guys were pretty close Brandon ten

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: to Jackson. So were you able to see each other

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: or what was that bubble life like? Yeah? Um, now,

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: we weren't able to see each other for the bubble

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: or bubble as people call it. Um, we were kind

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: of secluded from the outside world, so we weren't allowed

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: to leave campus unless we were going to the UM

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the game, or we had UM team outings a couple

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: of times, but it all had to be approved, so

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: we weren't really allowed to leave uh campus, the IMG campus,

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: So I didn't get to see my brother. Uh. But

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll have a chance to go down back, go

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: down back to Florida and a see him play. And

49
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: now that you have a little break from basketball, what

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: is life like for you? Like, is there ever a break? Not? Really,

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, UM, when you play professional basketball,

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: unlike other sports, UM, we have you know season here

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: and then we still play overseas, so it's kind of

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: like back to back seasons. But for this this year,

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: for me, I'm gonna take the first half off, so

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll be playing. I'll go back overseas in December, um

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the end of December, UM to start up again. Uh

58
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: So right now, this is the first break, um that

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: that I'll have in a while. So I'm just gonna

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: enjoy it, UM to take time off, rest my body,

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: um and just work on on some things I just

62
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: need to work on. Let's talk about old Josh. He's

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: one of our favorites here with the Jaguars. He definitely

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: already in his short time, has made a great impact.

65
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: For example, today we were on a press conference with him,

66
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: and it's so funny. After every press conference, he thinks

67
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: every single member of the media on the zoom call

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: and it it'll all be in aligns, like all right, Gary,

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: John Mark, Ashland, Bill, Like he goes down the list

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: of names and says thank you. And I think that's

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: what's so unique about Josh. It's he knows everyone's name.

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: He wants to know how everyone's day is going, the

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: mail man, the cafeteria workers. And I've never seen a

74
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: football player like that. So has he always been like that,

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: just a normal guy who plays football. Yeah, definitely. And

76
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: I think that's nothing that makes him so specialist. He's

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: just so down to earth. Um, great person. You want

78
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: to get to know him, and he actually wants to

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: take time out to get to know you too. So Um,

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: he's definitely a people person, always been a people person. Talkative,

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Growing up, he just you cannot get

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: him to stop talking. Um, It's always been how he

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: he has been. So I'm glad that he's still doing

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: it and still being himself and never going to change

85
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: because it's what makes him special. So ye, like he'll

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: sit down and be like, ash, like, how's your day going?

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: What'd you do today? And it's so intrigued by like

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I'm like, Josh, like do you even care? Yeah?

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: I love that about him and you guys are and

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: incredibly I feel family to say the least. So where

91
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: are you guys credit this competitive nature from? I mean, like,

92
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: how where is it that you have a brother and

93
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: a sister who are both professional athletes in a family. Yeah,

94
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: It's it's not often. Um, I think we just credit

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: to our our our you know parents for one, UM

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: and then their brothers and sisters all played sports to UM,

97
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: so it's kind of in our bloodline, you know, to

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: to play sports and be athletic. Are two older sisters

99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: played basketball too, but we were the ones that you know,

100
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: continue to play after college. Uh So, I mean it's

101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: pretty cool that you have two professional athletes in the family,

102
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: and UM, we definitely take pride in it. We definitely

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: take pride in it. And you know, what more can

104
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: you ask for? You know, especially when you when you

105
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: look back and you see all the sacrifices your parents made, Um,

106
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: your family members made to get you where you are.

107
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm speaking for him too right now,

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: but I think that, um, we try to do our

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: best to make our family proud and and where our

110
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: name you know, heinz Alan from me, but Alan for Josh,

111
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: you know, proud and and make sure people know where

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: we come from and what we stand for. I love

113
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: that you guys definitely seem extremely proud Josh too whenever

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: he talks about you. There's also that competitive nature that

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: definitely comes out whenever your name is mentioned. He's always

116
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: going back and before, like, oh, she's the world champion,

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: but I was drafted higher and like all right, Josh,

118
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like you're twelve, but they're like you're

119
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: the two of youse competitive nature. You gotta say he's

120
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: a little more like he's a little more competitive than

121
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I am with that type of stuff. UM, to be

122
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: honest with you, but you know, I think it also

123
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: just shows when he steps on steps foot on that

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: field how competitive he is to you know, off the

125
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: off the field, when he's when he just acts like

126
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: that towards us, you know, it's only right that he

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: plays with so much aggression on on the field too,

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: So I mean, he's definitely more competitive in that since

129
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: than than I am. I can you know, I could

130
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: care less kind of, but um he's always that one up.

131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I've seen the interview that he did and he's like, yeah,

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: I have the one upper at the one upper. I'm like,

133
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can beat the world champions,

134
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Well, unless he makes one

135
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but that's gonna be that's gonna be a

136
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: tough one. That's gonna be a tough and even if

137
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: he wins the super Bowl, you guys are just tied,

138
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: like he's up. Yeah, so we'll see. We'll see. Have

139
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: you ever, like, besides the world champion thing, which obviously

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: that's a win in your calm, have you ever beaten

141
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: him at something like even something dumb like a thumb

142
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: wre like you can say you have bragging races? Yeah, okay,

143
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: So I remember I think we're probably in high school

144
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: when we went down to Glenfield, this is a little

145
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: park down the street from where we live, and it

146
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: was me and my sister, older sister, and we played

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: him and um My his his twin brother Isaiah, and

148
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: we beat them and pick up, you know, two on two,

149
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: but he still he sells a different story. But we

150
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: all know who won. And that's so that's my one

151
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: up story on Josh, you know. But I want to

152
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: take that one because he really thinks he beat us,

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: but I just I don't know. He didn't. So it's weird.

154
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: He really made up a story that he won all

155
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the way back in high school. Yeah. Man, we're gonna

156
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: have to talk to him about that. That's not cool.

157
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: What happened. It happened, but he didn't. That's the crazy part.

158
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's on record now so everyone can hear

159
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: that you actually did win. I read that you played

160
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Pop Warner football with him eight or nine years old. Yeah,

161
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: and I'm so. I'm not a big fan of football,

162
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: so it's a little weird, but not a big fan

163
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: of football because of that reason. Um, I got hit

164
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: like hard, and I was just like, all right, I'm

165
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: done with football then like everything. Then, like I don't

166
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: even like watching it unless it's my brother. Like that

167
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: is the only reason why I would watch a football

168
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: game or even go to a fooball game. It's just

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: because of my brother. And then I remember in uh college,

170
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: because you went to Kentucky and I'm from Louisville, and

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: there's that rivalry right there is crazy. So um, like

172
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: people would always say, oh, well, um, who are you

173
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: rooting for? I'm like, I don't like football, Like I'm

174
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: not remember anyone but fort one on on Kentucky's team.

175
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: So now, I mean you say you're not a fan

176
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: of football, But do you catch yourself like checking scores

177
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: watching the game. I don't blame it, like when you

178
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: have to remove yourself from sports, like I didn't know

179
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: when I watch hd TV because I'm like, get me

180
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: away from this. So I don't blame you. But how

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: much are you able to keep up with what he's doing?

182
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Actually keep up with He's a lot. So again I

183
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: only focus on Joshua when anything involves around football. It's

184
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: only Joshua. So that that is it. Like I really

185
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: do not like football. It's a bad time in my

186
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: life growing up, Um getting hit the heart but hard.

187
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: I hate to bring it up, yeah, but I just

188
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: try to keep up with um whatever he's doing, um,

189
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, on and off the field. So it's just

190
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Joshua that that is the only football player that I

191
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: will ever watch. It's safe to say, that's fair. You

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: call him Joshua. I never heard someone call him Joshua.

193
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Is that what your family calls him? Oh? Yeah, I don't.

194
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I really ever called him josh before,

195
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: like even growing up Joshua, like like I feel like

196
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: when he when he went I would probably say, like

197
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: to college, that's when like the josh started, So people

198
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: would always say Joshua or you know, his his nicknames

199
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. The kids maybe, but you don't. I didn't

200
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: really hear josh a lot. It's strange to hear I

201
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: never heard anyone call him that. That's interesting. You mentioned

202
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: in college obviously very well known player in the SEC,

203
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: and then being drafted so high in the first round.

204
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Was it crazy to watch that progression, Like and your

205
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: people start talking about him, you knowing it's Joshua, your

206
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: brother that they're talking about. Yeah, So it was crazy

207
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: because first him even going to Kentucky was a huge

208
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: thing because he wasn't, you know, highly recruited. So for

209
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: him to go to Kentucky and play in that conference,

210
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: which is a power, powerhouse conference for football, and to

211
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: excel like his first year, I think he was second

212
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: string his first year and then you know, after that

213
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: just took off, and you know, for him to do

214
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: what he's doing now, it's just amazing because again, growing up,

215
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I just I just remember him as a little kid,

216
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: the goofy kid, and now he's like this massive grown

217
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: man like muscles, so it's just like you know, and

218
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: a beard too, So it's just like, what, like it's

219
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: crazy to even to even think about how how far

220
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: he's how far he's come. So I'm just happy for

221
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: him to be honest with you, m And you mentioned

222
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: the beard and the muscles, and how about him being

223
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: a dad, Like I see Josh in the stadium and

224
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I see him when he brings Wesley to the facility,

225
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, that's crazy that, like you

226
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: are such a goofy person and also a dad as well,

227
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And he takes so much pride in

228
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: being a great father. Uh. And I think that's all

229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: you can ask for is for him to you know,

230
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: try his best, and to to do anything and everything

231
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: for him for his two sons, um and be a

232
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: great and be a great husband too. Uh So, you know,

233
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: just again just so proud of everything that he's been

234
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: able to do like on and off the field. You are.

235
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: We talk about on the field Joshua all the time,

236
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: but the things that he's done off the field incredible.

237
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: And just to see him grow into this man, you know,

238
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: a husband, father to your sons, and you know, and

239
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: do it with such dignity in respect. It's just like

240
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: you don't see it often. You don't see it often,

241
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: and you know, for him to do a great job

242
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: and and be that that role model he is is

243
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: it's great. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm sure he's told you

244
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: about Calais Campbell And when I first got to the team,

245
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, like you're never going to cover

246
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: someone like Calais Campbell in your life, And like I

247
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: had that in my head and the warm around josh

248
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, Like he's just like them, someone he

249
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: looks up to too, you know, just hearing stories and

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: how he took him, he took josh under his wing.

251
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's good when you have veterans who've

252
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: been in the league for a long time and want

253
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,239
Speaker 1: the best for you and once to see you succeed

254
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: um and and that are in your corner too, makes

255
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: your job a lot easier, your transition a lot easier

256
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: into that professional world. Um, so I'm glad he was

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: there and to help Josh his first year. And you

258
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: mentioned that transition, you being there, doing that, going college

259
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: to protity. Ever reached out about, you know, doing that

260
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: being a professional athlete, that transition. Yeah, so we talked

261
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: once about it for for a very long time of

262
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: how it was, you know, tough. You just gotta keep

263
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: grinding it out, keep grinding out. Things aren't gonna be

264
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: perfect your first year, your second year, maybe even your third.

265
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: But if you continue to grind it out and you

266
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: you see progress within yourself and then it starts to

267
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: trickle down throughout the system and the football team. Say, um, yeah,

268
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: we we've talked about it before. You know, I'm glad

269
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: we've we've gotten a chance to step away from really

270
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: when we talk, step away from sports, dive into other

271
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: things other than sports. But when I was able to

272
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: talk to him about, you know, the transition life, you know,

273
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: just hearing the stories and hearing what he had to say,

274
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I commend him for getting through it and you know,

275
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: continue to work, continue to work at it because because

276
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: it isn't it isn't easy just to just to see

277
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: him continue to continue to keep pushing, see him as

278
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: a captain already to his second year. I mean, kudos

279
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: goes to him. It's cool that we always asked him

280
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: about this newfound leadership this season because he got voted

281
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: a captain, and he always says that you can be

282
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: the loudest guy in the locker room, you can, you know,

283
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: be a great example off the field. He's like, if

284
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't make plays on the field, no one's going

285
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: to listen to me, which I think is a very

286
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: realistic way to look at it. A lot of people

287
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: want to, you know, talk loud in the locker room

288
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: and oh, listen to me. And he's like, I get it.

289
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: If I'm not good on the field, no one's gonna

290
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: listen to me. Yeah, And I totally agree with that too.

291
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: When you work on yourself and you're putting your best

292
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: foot forward and you're trying your hardest and you're making

293
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: things happen. I think, especially also in a league such

294
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: as NFFL, if you aren't really doing much and you

295
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: don't you're not a veteran yet and you know you're

296
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: not making plays, but you're not doing what the coaches

297
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: are saying and this and that. It is kind of

298
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: hard to be a leader and and have people look

299
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: up to you and follow you speaking for like to

300
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: see how he is now and being a captain, I'm sure.

301
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I guess he is making a lot of plays. People

302
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: are listening to him and voted him to be a captain,

303
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. He wants to make the super

304
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and and this, like you know, big big accolades
