Speaker 1: me and I hope it's a little. The wall was
Speaker 1: pretty high. I didn't realize until you know, I got
Speaker 1: up too. I was like, yeah, this is Did you
Speaker 1: get any pointers? Afterwards? I did? They said you got
Speaker 1: jumping people gotta like pull you up. But you know,
Speaker 1: this mass helping to pull me up is probably not
Speaker 1: going to work very well. Fair enough, fair enough, m
Speaker 1: let's talk the touchdown celebrations doing the rockabye baby. Where
Speaker 1: did that come from? What kind of inspired that? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm a Russell Westbrook fan. Um. I like the way
Speaker 1: he plays basketball, the way he attacks, like each game,
Speaker 1: his attitude towards it, and when he makes big plays
Speaker 1: he just brings it out. And yes, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: So that's right, sto from I like it. I like it.
Speaker 1: How much do you guys have to like really change
Speaker 1: when you know, I mean obviously you know, going up
Speaker 1: against different teams every week? How do you guys change
Speaker 1: and adapt each week? What kind of goes into the
Speaker 1: game plan? Um? Different challenges every every week? You know,
Speaker 1: y'all step up, do your job? Do you one eleven?
Speaker 1: You know, stop their playmakers and trying to make them
Speaker 1: one dimensional? Yeah? Yeah, I mean like he said, it's
Speaker 1: a challenge each and every week. We got a big
Speaker 1: tasks ahead. We're excited for it. Um, we just you know,
Speaker 1: going each each game excited, ready to make big plays
Speaker 1: and celebrate with our teammates, have fun, play with swag.
Speaker 1: I think that's who makes it so good. We played
Speaker 1: with so much swag and fun and so I think
Speaker 1: we do so well. But celebrations look like, oh no,
Speaker 1: we go. We don't have some you know, we'll map.
Speaker 1: We have a few. Actually we don't get a lot
Speaker 1: of turned off for this week. Um, all right, between
Speaker 1: you two guys, who has a better style styles in
Speaker 1: like dressing fashion? Why we're just too different though, Like
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about like soups, you know
Speaker 1: your boy come clean every week. But if you want
Speaker 1: to talk about like you know, regular like street clothes,
Speaker 1: because I really don't care about the street clothes. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm more of a sweatpants type of dude. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, Sunday's best, You've got it together, no,
Speaker 1: no top of anything. I'm more bloody enjoying what what
Speaker 1: goes into putting together game day attire. That's kind of
Speaker 1: a big deal. I feel like, it's a big deal
Speaker 1: to me. I think I love seeing you guys put
Speaker 1: together for an outfit. Oh, well, you know, I got
Speaker 1: my own status. My fiance, Oh she put it together
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, most of the times she put it together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just ask up. You like this, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you should go with this and that. Is there anything
Speaker 1: you don't like that? You're like, that's a hard pass.
Speaker 1: I will never wear that. I don't like suits during
Speaker 1: a game, you know, I hate it suits. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. I just don't like suits. Were suits the
Speaker 1: thing for you? You know, you're just good. You play good,
Speaker 1: you look good, you play good, you feel good. You
Speaker 1: just feel so clean. He's wearing street clothes, is like,
Speaker 1: you know, you need street clothes. It's a fine line
Speaker 1: to walk though, because especially now, fashion has changed so
Speaker 1: much in the last couple of years, where like that
Speaker 1: casual style is really the it's the move. It's hard
Speaker 1: to pull off though, It's like a yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a delicate balance. Was wearing a tiger
Speaker 1: shirt here a little too on the nose. No, it's move.
Speaker 1: I like it with a leather pants in the boots.
Speaker 1: It works good, good, good. Good. What makes this team
Speaker 1: so special with what you guys are doing right now
Speaker 1: from last season into this season. What's making you guys
Speaker 1: so special right now? The loving connection we have for
Speaker 1: one another. You know, everybody, everybody is a one. We
Speaker 1: play one heartbeat. We just play together. You know. Offense
Speaker 1: is all connected. You know, everybody is selfless. You know,
Speaker 1: no matter whether success come from whoever made it bit played,
Speaker 1: everybody genuinely happy for each other. The same on defense,
Speaker 1: you know, I probably make the play everybody happy, you know,
Speaker 1: So the love I say, Sam, like you was saying,
Speaker 1: it's no no pride. We don't let up. Probably in
Speaker 1: a way we don't care who makes it play. We
Speaker 1: just care if somebody makes it. Um. That's that's I
Speaker 1: think that's the big thing that you see in our
Speaker 1: defense and shoot the whole team. Yeah, Like that's why
Speaker 1: we celebrate so much with each other, because we are
Speaker 1: really genuinely like excited for the person who made to play.
Speaker 1: What it's like the vibe like in the locker room
Speaker 1: between you guys, Because I mean from the interviews that
Speaker 1: I've been doing throughout the season, I know you guys
Speaker 1: got like the ping pong table in there. I know
Speaker 1: there's a couple of different things that are happening. What
Speaker 1: are some of the other things to kind of keep
Speaker 1: that energy alive and to keep you guys bonding and
Speaker 1: keep you guys celebrating and whatnot. See more on the
Speaker 1: king point, like I'm good at it. He can't beat me.
Speaker 1: I just don't play as much as I used to.
Speaker 1: You know. Um, there's a little bit of cars going on,
Speaker 1: you know, just I think it's just just like the bonding,
Speaker 1: just spending time with each other. Um, you can see
Speaker 1: people to stay a little later, like to spend that
Speaker 1: time instead of just shoot, just going home and you know,
Speaker 1: doing nothing said something that happens a lot on like
Speaker 1: other teams. Is it hard to find that true camaraderie
Speaker 1: amongst so many dudes? Um, I've been uh yeah another team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I've been on another place where you know,
Speaker 1: we it wasn't really like this. Um, so I can
Speaker 1: say that yeah yeah, Um okay, So for the romance,
Speaker 1: how do we keep the romance alive? What kind of
Speaker 1: goes into the friendship? Would you look like your advice
Speaker 1: to other dudes A dude? Yeah, I mean, you gotta
Speaker 1: have a guy that's level headed. You know, had the
Speaker 1: same mindset, same had the same vision as one enough.
Speaker 1: You know, we came in college together. We had the
Speaker 1: same vision getting to the NFL now on the same team.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have a guy that can hold
Speaker 1: you accountable and push you and motivate you to get
Speaker 1: better every day. That's what he does. But do you
Speaker 1: have to check your mane on sometimes to keep him motivated.
Speaker 1: He's always motivated. You know. I don't gotta check nothing.
