Next question is Phil Perry 176 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: fall by Danny. Welcome. I wanted to ask you about 177 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: something you posted on Instagram yesterday. It looks like, um, 178 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: you're at a cemetery in Boston. I wanted to just 179 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: ask you what your connection has been to the to 180 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: the being that way, and how your family's connected to 181 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the city there. Well, Uh, the last time I was 182 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: out here in Boston was two thousand and eleven for 183 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: family reunion. We were able to uh so my dad's 184 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: side with my family and Peruvians, and we haven't really 185 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: Billy touched with them, um during my childhood, and so 186 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: two thousand level we had the opportunity to have a 187 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: family reunion and we also had the opportunity to go 188 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: up to his grave site. And so that was the 189 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: last time I see my dad's grave site. UM, and 190 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: it was really, you know, just heartwarming to be there. Um. 191 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: It's a crazy story because all of the cemeteries were 192 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: closed and I couldn't get a hold of anyone to 193 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: help me find my dad grave. And luckily my oldest 194 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: brother UM has great memory, and all I had to 195 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: do is use space time and show him where I was, 196 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: and he got me to my my dad's grave site 197 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and we were able to take photos and take some flowers. So, Danny, 198 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: did your dad live in Boston? Um? I think I 199 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: think he did for a little bit. UM. So my dad, 200 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: we we separated from my dad when I was younger. UM. 201 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I want to say, like in the two thousand two 202 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: guys are two maybe um, And so I didn't see 203 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: him until maybe the year that he was about to 204 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: pass um in two thousand and seven. And UM, So 205 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: it was it was tough at the time, UM. But 206 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, my relationship with my dad was 207 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: different from my older siblings, UM. And I was brought 208 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: up different from my siblings, and so it was it 209 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: was a it's a hard time for us, but I'm 210 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: just glad that we're able to be closer to my 211 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: Dad now and be able to play in front of him. 212 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: Thanks Denny. Next question, nor Prince, I would say that 213 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: your dog sound awesome, by the way, but my question 214 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: is actually about I read that you've on some MMA 215 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: training and I was just curious if that was something 216 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: that you're still keeping up with and if that's still 217 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: a part of your routine. Yeah, most definitely. UM. I 218 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: feel it's a different um arena UM, and it gets 219 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: my mind off of football and so I have fun 220 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: with it. Um. It's nothing serious, but at the same 221 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: time I loved I love doing the training and more 222 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: so jiu jitsu. UM. I love the cardio that it 223 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: that it brings, UM and just being able to push 224 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: myself even further. Um. It's a fun, fun sport and 225 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: I love the training. Yeah. Awesome. And it's like the 226 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: last question Mike reas Mike Henny just to maybe finish 227 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: where we started, and I was curious on UM, what 228 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: it actually led you to to get the dogs initially, UM, 229 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: you know at that point in your life, if you 230 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: could maybe just explain, um, you know, where you were 231 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: at that time and sort of what what led you 232 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: to do that. Okay, UM, great question. So following my 233 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: my brother's passing in two thousand and eleven, UM, my 234 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: family received a white Waller puppy from a family's friend. 235 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: And I was getting college at the time, but I would, 236 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: I would, you know, make it back home and I'd 237 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: see their relationship with the with the dog, and I 238 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: see how it was kind of bringing them back to 239 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: the old ways, you know, having fun, laughing and UM 240 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: and just bring it back to the good times that 241 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: I remembered, UM and me being away away from them 242 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: in college. It was tough at the time, UM, but 243 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, I also wanted that that connection. I wanted 244 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: that relationship. I wanted to steal that gap that you know, 245 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: sought empty for my brother's passing. And so UM, I 246 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: think that overall really pushed me towards making that decision 247 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: and getting money my first my first dog, UM also 248 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: my my wife now. But I go from at the time, 249 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: we both thought it would be a great opportunity for 250 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: us to dive into a relationship with the new puppy 251 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: and kind of mature together and just add more responsibility. 252 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: So you know, one dog turned into two dogs, and 253 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: then two dogs turned a degree. And now for and 254 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: or depending on staying yeah for so, Danny, thank you 255 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: very much, Oh Worries, Thank you everyone for joining the call.
