<v Speaker 1>little bit too, because at first I didn't or I

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.239

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>weird you got. Yeah, you do really have to look

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>at it through that lens of like what all is

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.560

<v Speaker 1>It's actually I liked that it's got that double lining

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in it. I wasn't expecting that.

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Everything Imperial makes is unbelieving.

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.080

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>let's let's get into some of the hat talk. I

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>know obviously we talk about it last season, but the

<v Speaker 2>You know, so many people have donated art. We have

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>such a talented fan base, by the way. Yeah, I've

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>gotten so many pieces of art, more than I've ever

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>had in my life. So I'm I can't express enough

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>how grateful I am to the CINCINNTI community. And you know,

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.119

<v Speaker 2>You ag, we're closing in. I you know, man gets

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>mad at me because I'll throw out some numbers I've

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>been known to exaggerate over the years between donations and

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>this match is currently going on, you know, we should

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>be well over a million I think total like net,

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 2>just like actual cash that's been raised, not gross sales,

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>but net sales. Around four hundred thousand dollars. So thank

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you guys, and it's you know, it's doing some good.

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 2>We've already built one building and then we have a

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>whole other building going up.

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>And how many how many residents can be in each building,

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>So we currently have about seventy five wow, well plus

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>plus another.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Thirty, so about one hundred, and then we have another

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>forty five going in. So that are the Hats have

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>essentially helped the village of Marici to double their footprint

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 2>as far as live in villagers. Now they provide a

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 2>ton of services all over the city of Indianapolis with

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>in home care and coaching, but as far as just

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, units where you live in for life. Once

<v Speaker 2>you're in the village, you're in for We've been able

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to double our impact.

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>That is so cool. You know. I was able to

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of get a little sneak peek at a feature

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that the Bengals have been putting together on you in

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the in the village of Marichi and everything you're doing

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>with the hats, and to see you walking around and

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with the residents, spending the time with them.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Talk to me about some of the relationships that you

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>have with all the people down there.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's amazing. So I've known a lot of them

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>for a long time since the village started back. You know,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>we were I think early college. You know, Marty has

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>been my guy since high school. He came to all

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>our high school games. Yeah, he's an og at the village.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>We actually worked at Kroger together too, so yeah, and

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>sometimes I miss him when I go home. I was

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>popping into the village and they get really he gets

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>bummed if I don't see him. So I pop in

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>at Kroger's Ripe by my parents' house and he's working.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that you worked at Kroger.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>For like four months. Okay, Yeah. They put me on

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the cash Roger for one day. I got off it.

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I just charge everything as bananas because it was the

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>only plu I knew. I was a permanent cartboy. But

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>other great villagers. Steve, he was, you know, a janitor

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>at Saint Pia's Middle School for thirty years. We call

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>him the Governor. I tried to call him the mayor,

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>but he said, no, no, I'm the governor. Respect But he'll

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 2>he'll he'll hear me walk into the village and just

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>peak his head out of the out of his apartment.

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>And you'll see some of those too when that video

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>comes out, just like the cool individuality of all their apartments.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it really is their space. And you know,

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 2>we had a game night, you know, the other night. Yeah,

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>a couple couple of months ago now, But you know,

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>it's easy. It's the easiest thing I know what to do,

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'm doing good.

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how did you get involved with this to begin with?

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Why is it so near and dear to your heart

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 1>to be able to help the village of Marichi and

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>helping these adults with learning disabilities to live on their own.

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, I have autism in my family, have a couple

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>family members who have autism. And since he had Matt,

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 2>the guy who's run this whole operation, his mother Colleen

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>founded the village back in the day, so we've always

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>done service hours there. We've always helped out with the

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>village and it was you know, the only rule. We

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>did a charity event once a year before the hats

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and in benefit of the village. So it was such

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>a natural transition into selling hats hats for the village.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Hell yes, so everything that we've seen you do on

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the field, but the impact that you're leaving off the field,

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that's something that you've been very cognizant about your whole career.

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So does it feel like you're really setting that in

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>stone now?

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I think so. I mean we're we've been able to

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 2>do some concrete good by increasing We have such a

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>big wait list at the village, so just to be

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>able to chip away at all this is very underserved

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>need in this country. So I hope that since he

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>hat can be around for a long time. Yeah, you know,

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to play as long as I can, but

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I think we've set it up to where it can be,

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, a brand and a logo that continues to

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>help the village and any other you know, people of

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>this community in need long after I retire. Yeah.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Renee All Day is presented by Jillette Labs. Lads is

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>not your Dad's razor. It's to Let's Ultimate Shaving experience. Okay,

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>let's talk a little football, a little Bengals with you.

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Last year, of course, when you signed on to join

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals to where you're at now, how is your

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>role changed from day one to where you're at now.

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, day one, you know, I was coming into a

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>new team, just wanted to come in show everyone I

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was hard working. I've been been around the league for

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>a while. Was very honored to be elected captain. Yeah,

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>we had a great year last year and going into

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>this year, I really wanted to take advantage of the

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>fact that it's the first time in a while that

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been in the same offense two years in a row.

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I've been on a couple of one year deals back

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and forth, so I wanted to, you know, really build

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>off the continuity and experience that we had with each other.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>So obviously it's not up to the standard that we

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>really want to be playing right now. But as far

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>as my role, you know in times like this is

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>bringing the energy and you know, making sure we're focused

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>and ready to go. But you know, I got a

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people counting on me. I never take that

0:08:59.040 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>for granted.

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>How how do you kind of switch between being like

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>positive Ted, when you got to get into like ass

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>kicking Ted.

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, this team is a very easy team

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to lead. There's a lot of guys that made of

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the right stuff. But I've been known to get a

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 2>little grumpy when things aren't when things aren't going great,

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>or if we're you know, not focused. But you know,

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a mostly positive encouragement leader. But I don't particularly

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>ever yell at anyone. I will get intense at maybe

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a practice opponent or a game opponent and hope that

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>people feed off of that, but I'm really I'm never

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>really getting in my own teammates face.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that that's something that's going to lend

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>into fatherhood for you in terms of like picking and

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>choosing when you're gonna have to be dad and when

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you can be like fun dad and like teaching your

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>daughter like rules of the world and all that.

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've definitely you know, when we found out we

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 2>were pregnant, and then when we found out we were

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>having a girl, I had a lot of you know,

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>introspective thoughts about like what I want her to say

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 2>see from a man? Yeah, And you know, I went

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>back some of my memories of maybe sometimes I do

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 2>get a little out of control with my emotions or

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've been in such an intense environment for

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 2>eight years now that you know, there's maybe some some

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>actions that I've taken over the years. I would never

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 2>want her to see some just very cognizant about how

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 2>what I want her to see me as and i'd

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's sometimes i'd be embarrassed if my daughter

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 2>saw me act like that. So yeah, I'm having great

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 2>awareness so far, and you know, it's hard.

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It is really hard. Like I think that's sometimes with

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 1>our daughter, who will like watch my husband wrestling sometimes,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like there's certain things, of course I don't let her watch,

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>but like some of the stuff she's just like, oh,

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>there's dad wrestling, and she like understands what he does

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's really cool to see them sort of like

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>make that switch of like dad but dad working.

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Dad has different roles. Yeah, Dad is different, right, But

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm really excited for dad to be my number one role.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Moving forward, Okay, so last time we spoke, you

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>were talking about wanting to be wanted and wanting to

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>be the guy. I mean, you were talking about, you know,

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>being on those one year contracts and whatnot to where

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you are at with Cincinnati now. But then to have

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 1>Burrow say this, we wouldn't be who we are without

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Teddy brings an energy in a toughness that we didn't

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>have before. I wouldn't trade him for any center in

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the league. How does it feel to have Joe Burrow

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>saying that, Well, it's.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>High praise from anyone, but especially Joe Burrow. Yeah, you know,

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful to Joe. I obviously this year didn't

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 2>work out, how you know, he wanted it for himself,

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>so we'll be coming back strong in twenty twenty four.

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that's that's pretty supreme validation. I thank

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>you for that. Football is a very insecure business and

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 2>can get lonely at times, especially just to performance business,

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 2>and we're not performing well as a team. So to

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 2>be validated that way by you know, not only this

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 2>franchise is best player and a great friend of mine,

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.319
<v Speaker 2>but you know one of the best players in the

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 2>league is very special.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Good pat on the back, Yeah, great, it's great. Okay,

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So again, going back to our previous interview where I

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>learned about all of the hobbies and different things that

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Ted Harris gets up to for whether it's learning to

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 1>play piano, reading different books, going back to school, being educated.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.319
<v Speaker 1>What did you do in this past off season?

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>We did piano again, okay. We also got into a

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>little bit of magic, the gathering the current game. Yeah, okay, yeah,

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>a little nerdery there. It's pretty cool. I like stuff

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 2>like that, always like yeas and stuff, and I always

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 2>want to get into it. And so now me and

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>me and a couple of buddies have been playing. So

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>it's fun for my reading this offseason. I was really

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 2>this author Sharon K. Penman. She writes her series on

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 2>the Plantagenet, So Henry the second rich and Richard Delonheart

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>eleanor Aquitaine. Did a whole.

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>That is some dude reading right there, did a whole. Yeah.

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.319
<v Speaker 2>A lot of knights, a lot of chivalry and battles

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 2>this offseason. So I mostly studied nights in medieval England

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and France.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Just a casual thing to be doing in your off time.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 2>That's written by the pool in Lauder.

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, what is your wife think of this?

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Is she into some of that stuff too?

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>No, she's a reader, but mostly like her books, you know,

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>are not not that heavy I it's a little chick lit,

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 2>little chick lit. Yeah, yeah, I feel it.

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, I love that you were talking about playing

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 1>piano and I know last time you said that you

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>want to learn to play some Christmas songs and you

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>hammered some down for Hammerade Sarto.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I you know, I would like to do, you know,

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 2>deck the halls this year. My best song this offseason though,

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>was Danny Boy the old Irish Hey, oh my goodness beautiful.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 2>My wife was so sick of it after a while.

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I've played Danny Boy like fifty days in a row. Yeah,

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>so but did all right, I'm really going to hit

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 2>it hard again in this offseason. So really it's a

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>really rewarding you know, instead of looking at my phone,

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 2>let's just get on.

<v Speaker 2>find it very hard to go to sleep if I

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>don't stretch. Yeah, yeah, so I have like about a

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty minute stretch ro chain every night in the off season.

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Like the fish cut a four hundred pound bowl shark

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:32.720

<v Speaker 2>How do you get that thing in the morning? Tag?

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't get in the boat. You tag it, okay,

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and you get to name it. Named it? Who dah?

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And but I mounted it. So I always like to

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 2>help the you know Chris down there. I got a

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>great captain, Chad Adelman down in Fort Lauderdale's money always

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>puts me on whatever I want. I was like, man,

<v Speaker 2>we need to go out and we need to catch

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a shark. Caught a four hundred pounder.

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>And now yeah, yeah, we have it down in Florida.

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know yet. I don't know where you

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>put a bull shark, but what I know, but it's

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 2>safe and healthy and so the next time someone catches

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>who day, they will take the tag out. It'll give

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>all the data, and then they'll put a new tag.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>In and somebody will rename it.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you get to it. It'll stay.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so they can't. Let's take away the namesake.

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>That's now.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's so great. What else have you been cooking?

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Cooking? You get on that tragger, get on the trigger.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I've made a nice kingfish smoked smoked kingfish dip, made

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>like sandwiches out of it. But you know this, this year,

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 2>my wife really stepped up in the cooking. So I

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>had been the chef for a long time, but she

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 2>stepped it up. Has a great meat loaf recipe, chicken drumsticks.

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Love it.

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's a bad for some reason.

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Met mashed potatoes, brown gravy. You gotta have the good

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>red glaze, the sauce, that ketchup sauce.

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, a little catch up, a little brown sugar, many,

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a little barbecue sa I still.

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Make I still in off season, I make a lot

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 2>of the dinner. So I got a misteak. I make

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a great homemade fry, oh French fry.

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>But that so I love this and I respect it,

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>but what a pain in the ass.

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Pain the ass, Oh my.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>God, but you gotta let you got to soak the

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>fries and you got to do you double fry them sometimes.

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll you know, my big thing is, you know, I

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>find pretty crispy and then parmesan on top while they're

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>still hot.

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be hot. Sprinkle of that like flaky salt,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>little Malden.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So good.

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I love that anytime I go to fry something. So

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I wrote a cookbook and there's a couple of different

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>fried things in there, but I never make them anymore because.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>It's it's annoying. Yeah, oil in your house.

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get all the temperatures right. Everything stinks snow

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for a while.

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it tastes great. But the French are really good.

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>So good, so good. Well, Ted, I'm so glad I
