48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: right after the preseason at Leo's Um and Frankie Like

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I felt bad because Frankie was on the girl for

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: like hours, just cooking his trap. I feel like I

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: like should have paid him or something, because it was yeah,

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, he was like I mean, the girl

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: was in the middle of where everyone was sitting, but

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: like We're all just sitting there crushing food and Frankie's

55
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: like laboring over the girl for hours. I was like

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, you know, he does, he does. I

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: think he likes the fact that we all are like

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: obsessed with it because like, it's not just me that

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: loves the like everybody that eats it loves to check it.

60
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: You just you just mentioned Leonard Williams, so of course

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: was traded a few weeks back to the Crosstown Giants.

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: What's the relationships like with you guys along the defensive line?

63
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,760

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Um obviously, Uh, you know, losing Leo was was tough

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: because we were all really close with him and he

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: was such a good dude. Um. We all still keep

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: in touch with them, and like I've been talking to

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: some of the other guys on the on the line,

74
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: we all tested him pretty much every week, just checking

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: in on seeing how he's doing so. Um, so we

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: still keep up with him. But yeah, I mean we

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: just we we we hang out together. Um, we all

78
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: get along to other We're all um, I mean we

79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of good dudes up front, Like, no one,

80
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: no one's like kind of doing their own thing, like

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: not really hanging out with the other guys. So we're

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: we're just a tight knit group. Um. We spend a

83
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of time together obviously in the building, and then

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: um we'll do some stuff outside the building as well,

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, we've all got good relationships and uh

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,720

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: activities do you guys do outside the building. I'm sure

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560

Speaker 1: pretty uh, pretty strategic out that was doing my my

108
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: army crawl. I could definitely see because we just had

109

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: nice little flank on me at then on one game

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,320

Speaker 1: funny because like it was I forget how many. It

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: was like maybe seven on seven, Like we just split

116
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: it up, so seven on seven, and the guns would

117
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: always just keep jamming like they were just they were

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: not great guns and they would always keep jamming. And uh,

119
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: I remember it was like four on one at the

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: end of the game on in one game and I

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: snuck up flank this dude, I like I'm staring at him.

122
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Like he turns around, he sees me, He's like surprised,

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: and I try to pop in my gun jams and

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I don't like and then he turns around and like

125
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: shoots me three times. I'm like, yeah, that's not right. Um,

126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: who's the funniest guy up front? M the funniest dude.

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Quinn is pretty funny. Yeah, Like does he

00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,560

129
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: like he's just naturally funny too. I always just laugh

130
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: at like his his accent, his southern his Southern draws

131
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: is always funny to me. Just the way some of

132
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the words that like, the way he pronounced his words

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: is um. I just I don't know, I'm easily amused,

134
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: but it's it's pretty funny to me. You know, I'm

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: had to know this for a couple of years now,

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: since you got traded um here in Indianapolis, you hurt

137
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: your throat. In the moment that you get hurt, like,

138
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: can you physically tell people what's wrong with you? Or

139
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: are you like so much in pain that you're just

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: like that was. It was just something where like I

141
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: feel like if somewhere would give you like a quick

142
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: little chop in the throat, you'd be like to kind

143
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: of take you back for a second, and then you'd

144
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: just be back to normal in a couple of minutes.

145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it was like for me.

146
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: Like I got hit and then I was kind of

147
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: running like the quarterback through it. I turned and run

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: to the ball, and I'm like that kind of felt

149
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: weird my throat, and then I was like, it's nothing,

150
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Like I didn't think you could do anything to your

151
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: throat anyway. And then uh yeah, Like that was in

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: the first half, and by halftime it was like starting

153
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: to hurt, like drink water and stuff. And then in

154
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the third quarter, I made a tackle and I got

155
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: up and like screamed, and as I screamed, like my

156
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: voice just cut out in the middle of my scream,

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: which was weird, and I was like, some might not

158
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: be right, and like it just kept hurting worse and

159
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: worse as I was trying to like drink water on

160
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the sideline, and I just like I still literally think

161
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: anything of it. I just thought it was maybe swollen

162
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then uh, after the game, it was

163
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: like bad, like I couldn't do it, like I couldn't

164
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: swallow at all, and uh the doctors were like, yeah,

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: why don't you come in tomorrow, we'll check it out.

166
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: And they didn't seem like too concerned about it and

167
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: got it scanned and ended up being bad. But yeah,

168
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't wasn't a thing one of those things where

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: I like I knew immediately that it was just like

170
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: yeah that it was bad, but looking back at it,

171
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: was that because I know a lot of people termed

172
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: that potentially career threatening. Was that the case? Uh no,

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: they said, I mean it it's uh no, it wasn't

174
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: career threatening. They said, like if I was there, I

175
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: got kind of lucky because they said it could be

176
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: like life threatening because like obviously the thing that I

177
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: that I fractured, I fractured like cartilage, and the cartilage

178
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: that I fractured protect your windpipe and so once it's fractured,

179
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: if it gets hit again, like the cartilage can collapse

180
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: your windpipe and like you can stop breathing. So the

181
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: the doctors were explaining that to me, and I was

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: like I got pretty lucky there, um because I played

183
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: like another half on that and luckily didn't get hit

184
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: there again. So um, but yeah, I mean they said

185
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: it happens a lot like in car accidents, like people

186
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: whiplash and like hit their throat on like the steering

187
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: wheel or something. Um, and people can like die because

188
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: like it collapses their windpipe and they can't breathe. So

189
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: have you ever got hitting the throat in the game

190
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: after that? Yeah? Well, I get so paranoid about it too, because,

191
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: like I did natural It's like I played ice hockey.

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: I was a goalie. Anytime I get hit upstairs like

193
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: in the neck area, like okay, what's happening now, I

194
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: feel like my throat is like swallowing closing. As we're

195
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: talking about this, they did say it happens in hot

196
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: he a lot too, with the puck like coming up

197
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and hitting them, that that injury does happen a lot hockey.

198
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: But now, like it'll, I'll hit and practice sometimes and

199
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: like I'll I have to kind of wiggle it around

200
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: and make sure it's okay, and I'll still I think

201
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: I kind of piss our doctors off a little bit

202
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: because I'm always kind of coming up to him like hey,

203
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: like is my throat good? And they're like, yeah, you're fine,

204
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Like quit worrying about it. How does the dude who

205
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: grew up in Georgia end up it's Stanford? Yeah. Um,

206
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: So I liked Jim Harbaugh was there at the time. Uh,

207
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: and he had he was kind of starting to turn

208
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: that program around. They won, like I think one game

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: a few years before I committed, Uh, and he was

210
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: slowly starting to turn that program around. The year before

211
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: I committed, they went to a bowl game, and uh,

212
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: he was just a good recruiter. Like I liked his

213
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: competitive attitude and uh, I really liked what what he

214
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: was doing with with the program. And I think the

215
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: biggest thing, Like the biggest thing too was um, was

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: just the education that that Stanford provided. I want to

217
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: private schooling to land and education and was important to me.

218
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: So uh, I had some people close to me told

219
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: me that if I turned out a free, full scholarship

220
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: to Stanford, I'd be stupid. So I tried to follow

221
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: that advice. Did Harbaugh actually come into your house during

222
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the recruitment period. Did he have that opportunity to not

223
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: only talk to you, put impress mom and dead? Yeah,

224
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: he did he did he Uh? I remember he had dinner.

225
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we had dinner together and he had a

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of food. I think he had the most food

227
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: out of anybody there. And we had another there was

228
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman that committed to Stanford with me, who

229
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: was from Atlanta, and he came with his parents. So

230
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: we were all at the dinner table and Hardbay more

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: than any of us. Um And then what was this pitch?

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I remember beating I think it was.

233
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: I think it was like a beef tender one if

234
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. I could be totally wrong there because

235
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: it was probably about ten years ago. But he did

236
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: eat a lot. And then we we went upstairs and

237
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: watched Modern Family for did you really want? But now

238
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: his hard but talk during the episode or does he

239
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: just take it in and smile or is he outwardly laughing?

240
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: And how does he take I don't remember since we

241
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: brought up Modern Family now I have so last year,

242
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: isn't it? I don't know. But what I do want

243
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: to know is I want to create, Like I want

244
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: to match someone in the locker room to a character

245
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: in Modern Family, So like who's the Phil Dunphy who's

246
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Jay Pritchett, who's um awfully difficulty? Well, go ahead, figure

247
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: who or what's the easiest pairing? How about that? It

248
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be all of them, but what's the

249
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: most the one that comes to mind most naturally? Who

250
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: would uh Phil dunphye be? I don't know, I don't

251
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you got any ideas. I don't, I can't think

252
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: of anything. Someone that's uh, I don't know, well tough.

253
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: It's such a nice guy. I'm just thinking of someone

254
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: that's like, he's funny, yeah, but kind of like spacey, right,

255
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't you consider phail kind of spacing? Can you use

256
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: the word dorc and in these these times, I don't know,

257
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: I want to be politically correct, okay, yeah, yeah, but

258
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a little i'd say, Q is like the who's the

259
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: little who's the manny? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I see that

260
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: that's funny. Uh were you disappointed? You're there a year

261
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: and hard bus is for me to go and they're like,

262
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: oh God, thanks for the tenderloin and new coaching staff.

263
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: Who's this David Sea? Yeah? It was I guess it

264
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: was something that had been kind of tossed around while

265
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: I was getting recruited it. He was he was like

266
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: a hot coaching prospect and um could potentially leave, so

267
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean after after the after my red

268
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: shirt ear, he did end up leaving, and um, it

269
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: was definitely different because his coach Shaw was kind of

270
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: the polar opposite of Hardball. He's more of a calm,

271
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: relaxed dude. He doesn't really show much emotion on the sideline,

272
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: and obviously hardball is the total opposite. So, um, but

273
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: now it was good coach Shaw's Coachhaw has done an

274
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: awesome job there. They've they've had a little trouble this year,

275
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: but um, but I enjoyed all five of my years there,

276
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm definitely glad with that decision. What about

277
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: your education, why, Polly sigh? He said, Stanford, it was

278
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: important to you to get that education and and not

279
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: turned down and offer. Yea, what did you take from

280
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: classes there and why did you opt to go in

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: that direction? Yeah, So my dad, my dad went to Lost,

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: he did policygh my beds an attorney. He went to

283
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: he went to the University of Wisconsin and he did

284
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: policy and ended up going to law school. So I

285
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I had I was kind of thinking along those lines,

286
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: and uh, well, initially a Stanford I wanted to do

287
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: kind of like the business management agree but I took

288
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I think one math class and I was like, yeah,

289
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: but this, this is gonna be too hard for me,

290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: because the math and science classes at Stanford are like

291
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: stupid unbelievably hard, and I just didn't have the time

292
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: to to like to study and and put in the

293
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: work that I that I needed to do well in

294
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: those classes. So I was like, I gotta do something else.

295
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: And so I was pretty good at writing papers and

296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty much all political science is is just reading

297
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: and writing papers. So that's what I ended up doing,

298
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: and uh ended up doing pretty well. And like the

299
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: classes we're interesting too, Like it's it's a lot of

300
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: cool stuff that they cover and in some of those classes.

301
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, would you what would you ever think of

302
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: pursuing a LITE after this is all? Probably not? Probably not.

303
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to go through law school,

304
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Like I got some friends that are that are going

305
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: through that right now, and doesn't sound like the most

306
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: the most fun, So I don't think I'm gonna probably

307
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: not going to do that, all right? How about I

308
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: want I wanted to bring up the your off season

309
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: after you hurt your voice, you get traded here, you

310
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: put on weight, you lose weight, you put on weight

311
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: like first of all, and the initial moment where you

312
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: know you have to put on weight again after losing

313
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: all of it. Are you just like like you gotta

314
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: give me a break and like what is your what

315
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: do you do? What was your diet? Yeah, I mean

316
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: it was frustrating because I did. I Like, I spent

317
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: the whole off season from like pretty much the time

318
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: I got hurt, so pretty much from like November through

319
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: um let's see April, like just eating Like my mom's

320
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: a pastry chef like I've told you before, and she

321
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: would always have desserts like because I would. I went

322
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: home to Atlanta that offseason I was training Atlanta. It

323
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: would staying with my parents and she always had desserts

324
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: like and I would always have to turn them down

325
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: and like no, I'm like I'm gonna get to this weight,

326
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Like I want to show the I want to show

327
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: the GM and the coaches that like I'm I'm committed

328
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: to what they want out of me. And uh and

329
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: of course is in Indianapolis front YEP so um so, yeah,

330
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: I was just eating really like just really healthy that

331
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: whole offseason and and I'd have like one cheat meal

332
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: a week, but that was that was pretty much it

333
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: for for the whole off season. And uh so yeah,

334
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: it was frustrating just because I spent so much time

335
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: and dedicated myself that whole off season to losing the

336
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: weight and getting to the to a certain way that

337
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 1: I that I wanted to be at. And then I

338
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: was there for like less than a week during the

339
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 1: off season program and then they, uh they traded me.

340
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, I knew once once I got traded and

341
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: the jetstrure three four, which is the old defense that

342
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: we ran in Indy, uh that I would have to

343
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: put the way back on. And I was like, God,

344
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: I could I could have. I could have had all

345
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: those desserts that mom was. I know. So I just

346
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: went back home in June and got it. I know

347
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: that's what I should. I did go on a One

348
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: of the things that did help me is I went

349
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: after so I got traded, here went through all O

350
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: t A s and mini camp, and after mini camp,

351
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: I went a week to like an all inclusive resort

352
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and just crushed food so that that got my weight

353
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: up a little bit um. But yeah, for me, it's

354
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: like it's hard for me to keep my weight up

355
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: to begin with, Like I have to eat just constantly

356
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: to keep my weight up. So I knew if I

357
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: had add weight instead of just like maintained, it was

358
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna be be really hard. So yeah, I was my

359
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: My coach are always my Delone coach would always joking

360
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: me during O t s because I'd be out there

361
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: like puking during like O t A s aren't that

362
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: hard like here in helmets and jerseys, like you're not

363
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: in full pads or anything, and I'm out there puking

364
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: going through like pretty simple drills and he's like, you

365
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: had drinking last night, Like no, I'm just trying to

366
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: crush like a big huge meal before I come out here,

367
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Like my stomachs just like engorged with food. So I

368
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: was just always like I was just always having to eat,

369
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: and it was it was not fun. There's gonna be

370
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people jealous of you when you say

371
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: that I have to eat just to keep my weight up. Yeah,

372
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I just gotta That's gotta be the case

373
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: even now during the regular season, though you're so active. Yeah,

374
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's it was hard then and it's still

375
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: hard now because I'm trying to eat like clean food

376
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: and when you're eating grilled chicken and like brown rice

377
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: and veggies, if you need to get the calories like

378
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: necessary to to like keep your weight up, like you

379
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: have to eat a ton of that or just constantly

380
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: be eating like different, like smaller meals throughout the day,

381
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: which is harder to do during the season. But yeah,

382
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: So I tried to do that for a little bit,

383
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: and then I was like this, I can't eat enough

384
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: of this healthy food. So I kind of relax my

385
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: diet restrictions a little bit to healthy food. What is

386
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: your last meal a day? Typically, like in season, it's

387
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: I just have like a I have a protein shake

388
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: before bed, like nine o'clock, town of class football. The

389
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: usually a pretty big dinner and then protein shape. Does

390
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: it almost feel like a chore to eat that much? Yeah? Yeah,

391
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean because again it's I'm like, oh, if I'm

392
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: out at a steakhouse or something, I can just I

393
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: can eat a ton. But if I'm eating healthier food,

394
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: I don't really like I don't love eating girl chicken

395
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: fish or so you're a young dude still six ft six.

396
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: How much do you win? It's to eighty five? What

397
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: do you think you're walking around? Wait, would be if

398
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: you didn't have to force it, probably to fifty or

399
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: less than that, probably like to fifty five. Yeah, you

400
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: know what fascinates me about you is you participated in

401
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: track and field grown up, but as a runner, this

402
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: dude six ft six, you running like short relayses that

403
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: I mean we were, I mean, did you have you

404
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: go to a small well you said you want to

405
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: a private school. You might have some faulty sources. Because

406
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: I did do they call them fat man relays because

407
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: I was a throw so I threw like shop putting, say,

408
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: and I did do a couple of fat man relays

409
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: which was four by like four by ones, and so

410
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: uh yeah I did that. And I did run like

411
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: a two hundred, like the two hundred meter I think

412
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but I got toasted. Um yeah, yeah,

413
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: but we're out there running like against because they do

414
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: them in different like heats, you know, and so I

415
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: think it was something where like it was kind of

416
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: the one of the later heats where they're still like sprint,

417
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: Like they're still smaller dudes out there running, but they're

418
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: just not as fast as like the top dogs. So

419
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: they I guess they didn't have enough teams to fill

420
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: up the whole track, like all the lanes, so they

421
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: were just like, oh, like let's put our fat guys

422
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: out there and like just have them run for fun.

423
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: So I think we ran, and I think I forget

424
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: which leg that I I think I think I might

425
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: have started it, and uh yeah, I mean I'm still

426
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: at that point. I was like two forty five in

427
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: high school or something, which was pretty skinny, but I

428
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: was still like these dudes I was running against for

429
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: less than two hundred pounds. But anyway, I tried to

430
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: keep up with them for like the first little turn there,

431
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: and like by the time I got to the finish line,

432
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: I could barely like I could barely even run, which

433
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: was I don't know, I was reading. I'm sorry it

434
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: was a four by four, not a four by one,

435
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: which was a four by four, like that's the whole

436
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: Like I was trying to sprint like the entire circle

437
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: of the track, So I was dying. It was it

438
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: was bad. It was bad. I couldn't stand up finish.

439
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: Do you ever run a mile? Not? Not in track

440
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: and field, but the timing was yeah, like in seventh grade? Yeah,

441
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: which was I think. I don't know if I ever

442
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: broke seven minutes. I hated a mile. You were probably decent,

443
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: but I wasn't a track and field guy. But yeah,

444
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to clear six and I don't think

445
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: I ever did. I think one like most sixes, you know,

446
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I've cleared. Yeah, but

447
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: these people running marathons are running miles in four or something.

448
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: There's some sick people there are. Yeah, we respect that.

449
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: We respect Henry. What Thanksgiving side? Could you eat the

450
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: most of probably sweet potato castroll? You could just yeah,

451
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: sweep potato castro with like some marshmallows on top. That's obvious.

452
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Lot of that. No, see, I don't know how much

453
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: that gets up to the northeast to sweep. Yeah. What's

454
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: the popular like mash? Yeah, mashed potatoes very popular. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Do you call stuffing stuffing or dressing stuffing? Thank you?

456
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240

Speaker 1: sweet potato pie cousins same family? Kay? Do you like both.

458
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm no, I don't really like. I mean,

459
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: I'll eat them like a right, we don't like him? Yeah,

460
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: like rather, I like them both. Oh, I don't like either.

461
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I think they're okay, but like, I'd much rather have

462
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: a different type, Like I'm more of like a chocolate

463
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: or like I don't know, even pecan pile, like better

464
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: than than like a pumpkin. I agree with that. But

465
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: your mom is also a pastry chef, so I feel

466
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: like Thanksgiving, she's probably whipping up something pretty nice. Yeah.

467
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: I think it's usually usually be a chocolate cream pie.

468
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: I think that I've told you about before. Yeah, that

469
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: sounds very good. Yeah, you know what I can do

470
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: without and Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving? We can cranberry sauce. Get

471
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: it out. I thought you either. Yeah, I thought I

472
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: thought for sure you're gonna take Have you ever played

473
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving? No? What about growing up? Did you guys

474
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: have any traditions in terms of the fellows in the

475
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: neighborhood you got together and a or not? Really? Yeah,

476
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: we'd we'd go out and just throw the foot like

477
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: we'd have a little football game. And during the day

478
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: and then obviously at night um, Thanksgiving dinner and then

479
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: we'd watch the we'd watch the Thursday the Thursday games.

480
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: So nothing crazy though, just family in town. And and hey,

481
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: since we were talking about Stanford a little bit before,

482
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: how about the Elon Elon Musk want to Stanford for

483
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: two days? I believe, so he never really graduated there.

484
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Did you see the car that they just came out

485
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: of the truck? Did you see the throw the throw

486
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: the rocks there at the demonstration? How does that happen?

487
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: They threw the rocks at the truck because it's supposed

488
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: to be unbreakable glass or windows or and the shatters.

489
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Then they then they try it again, it shatters again.

490
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Titanic, like, oh, the Titanic can't ship.

491
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: I can't the ship can't sink. The ship can't sink

492
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: the first time. It's out. Well, he's doing quite well

493
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: for himself, but maybe he should have stayed at Stanford

494
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: a couple more days. I don't know. I don't know

495
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: what happened there. Yeah, that was wild though. I feel

496
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: like if they're gonna throw a rock at a window,

497
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: they'd want to test it. Yeah, a couple of billion times. Yeah,

498
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: I feel like you want to throw a couple of

499
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: rocks before you show everyone throwing the rock. So, speaking

500
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: of the laughs, can you give us any kind of

501
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: glimpse into what it's like to be in a Greg

502
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Williams meeting room because he's so intense. You guys love him.

503
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: I think everybody inside the building response to his coach.

504
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: And but with that being said, there's only so much

505
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: you can really leak out because he is, uh, colorful

506
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: with his word choices, right, yeah, he is. He's uh.

507
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean obviously I can't repeat pretty much ninety nine

508
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: percent of the things that he says in the meetings

509
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: on here, Yeah, because this Yeah, he uh, he's a

510
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: funny dude though, and like obviously he's he's I guess

511
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: calmer for the most part than I was expecting because

512
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I saw him, like I saw him on Hard Knocks

513
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: last year. I think it was last year, right, yeah,

514
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: So I mean I saw that, and I feel like

515
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: I feel like some of that was I mean, they

516
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: probably picked out the most intense parts of the meeting

517
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: to put on the show because that's what I was

518
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: just expecting constantly from him. And he'll be like that

519
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: when he's really trying to get a point across or

520
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: if we if we screw something up bad, Like he's

521
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be he's gonna be loud, and he's gonna

522
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: be intense. But I mean he's pretty calm, but yeah,

523
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: he he does have some interesting or choices sometimes. And

524
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: I swear like there's once or twice a meeting where

525
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: he pulls a word out and I'm like, that can't

526
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: be a word like that. He completely made that up,

527
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: like I think. And on a Saturday night he was

528
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: talking and um, he used the word safetyhood and I

529
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: was like, what, There's no way that's a word. So

530
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: it's like the meeting. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

531
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: be the grammar police with Jet up because I don't

532
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: want to kiss him off. But he'll he'll pull some

533
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: words out that I'm that I'm like, I'll kind of

534
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: look around and be like, see if anybody else like

535
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: notices that. Usually I think I'm the only guy that

536
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: really notices the you know, it's funny, like I'll just

537
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: kind of sometimes I'll just be in the back of

538
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: the meeting here, I'm like laughing to myself and no

539
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: one probably knows why I feel like it. What would

540
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: happen if Greg caught you laughing? Uh, he probably yelled

541
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: at me and tell me to get my eyes up

542
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: and pay attention. I feel like just being out at

543
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: training camp. His phrasing of words is pristine, like it's elite.

544
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: Like the way that Greg says something versus the way

545
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: like I would say it. Whatever comes out of his

546
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: mouth is ten times funny. Oh yeah, And because I

547
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: think that's part of his coaching. His his coaching technique

548
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: is he'll try to say something in a way that

549
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: makes you remember it so that the next time you're

550
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: in that situation you think back to like what he said,

551
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: and uh, it is effective. It is effective because I

552
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: still again I can't repeat pretty much every every any

553
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: any of those phrases back on here, but it is effective. Well,

554
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: he's hilarious. Um, he is supremely intelligent. He's a defensive genius.

555
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, he is such a

556
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: nice man. If you get an opportunity to spend time

557
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: with Greg Williams, there like, wow, this guy is really

558
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: a gentleman. So I think people on the outside are

559
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: thinking one thing to him is that he's a complex dude.

560
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: But he's one of the nicest guys in the building period. Yeah, definitely.

561
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was kind of I was

562
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: a little intimidated by him just because you you you

563
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: hear about like the reputation and and everything like that.

564
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: But then once you actually get to sit down and

565
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: talk with him, he's he's just a totally he's the

566
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: nicest guy. And uh, well, I want to say the

567
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: nicest guy, but he's he's he's he's a fun dude

568
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: to be around. He's um, he's a genuine guy. He

569
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: wants the best for for everybody in that room. And uh,

570
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: he's yeah, I mean, he's a he's a good dude.

571
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: One more thing before we let you go, I'm gonna
