Let's let's do this. 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: You're a pro football player at one point time now 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: are Titans. 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 5: They suck. 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: They're very bad right now. And at one point you 47 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 4: participated in the NFL combine. Correct, What are some of 48 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: the similarities with what you did at the combine and 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 4: what you did with wrestling. 50 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 5: Like training for wrestling. 51 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: So before the combine, obviously you go through rigorous train 52 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: very systematic, this very room little room for error, and 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: it's very similar like that in wrestling world. You know, 54 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: everything is to the tea, has got to be perfected 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 2: and just to keep you and your partner safe. 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 4: And I mean that's the crazy thing is you don't 58 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: see very many uh, you know, football players transition very 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: well into the wrestling world. I mean there's a handful 60 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: of those, but there's a lot of people that are like, 61 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: I'm a professional football player, so I'm gonna be a wrestler. 62 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way, and so a lot of 63 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: times they just can't use that stigma because you know, 64 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: it's two very different training styles, but at the same time, 65 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: it's very similar. 66 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 4: Right And of course the workouts I would assume are 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: the workouts pretty much the same when it comes to 68 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: training for football and wrestling or is it like two 69 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 4: different ones. 70 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: So if you're a wrestler that chooses to work out, yeah, 71 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: it's very it's very it's similar.
