Well felas it was a very eventful Sunday that just 17 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:19.199 took place on campus. So talk a little bit about the spartan Sunday event 18 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.560 that a little loved campus, a little love. It was a lot of 19 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.719 love. Man. You know, we kind of started out with not even 20 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.479 me. We saw a flyer that popped up and actually Alicia had shared it 21 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:39.080 on our social and immediately I thought, well, let me contact the point 22 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.840 person to see what we could do. When I say we, it was 23 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.159 like play fly or in Michigan State Sports Properties, Athletics, all of our 24 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.319 corporate partners and lo and behold, Emily answered the phone and she kind of 25 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.800 gave me a full kind of breakdown of what she was thinking about this event. 26 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.120 And I said, well, let me see and reach out to our 27 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.840 one of our biggest partners in Mayer Food Stores, because they were looking to 28 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.719 support, you know, Michigan State and what transpired, what happened obviously on 29 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.000 campus with the tragedy, and so you know, Emily came through and you 30 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.120 know, what started out as a small event turned out to be one of 31 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.840 the biggest kind of hosted events that you know, student kind of ran, 32 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:29.960 but also university came back came into supporting them. And gave the stamp of 33 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.199 approval. And so what started out as a small event was you know, 34 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.280 thousands of thousands of people come together and just showing level on campus. So 35 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:44.120 I wanted to bring Emily on the show because she's been the celebrity rock star 36 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.599 starting out and support. Welcome, Emily, Welcome. I am excited to 37 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.560 be here. This is awesome. Yeah. Yeah, Emily welcome, and 38 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.039 on behalf of all of us, on, behalf of the crew. Everybody 39 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.479 at this is part of you. Thank you for what you did, you 40 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.400 know, thank you for spearheading you know that movement, you know seeing it, 41 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.159 you know, look at these pictures and you know seeing you know, 42 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.240 hearing from people. You know, it was a really cool thing to do, 43 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.199 really good for the community, really good for the students, and really 44 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:23.519 appreciate, really appreciate it. Yeah. I mean, it couldn't have been 45 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.160 done without not only five of my closest friends, but Otis was one of 46 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.920 the first people to reach out, and he kind of got the train rolling 47 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.439 on all this with getting the Myer sponsor and getting all these other huge corporations 48 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.959 involved. And I'm still speechless with how it turned out. I mean, 49 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.079 there were thousands and thousands of people there and it was just still wild even 50 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.360 experience. Yeah, it looked like you guys had a bunch of you know, 51 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.600 I had people reaching out to me saying, hey, you know, 52 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.759 we want to you know, be a part of how can we help out, 53 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.439 you know, can we make food to take it? You know and 54 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.240 all that stuff. People just wanted to give back, and you know, 55 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.120 that just shows the love that that people have for Michigan State, and you 56 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:11.399 know how it just impacts everybody you know in the MSU community there. Yeah, 57 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.560 definitely one of my favorite things that one of my friends said is you 58 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.680 sent out a call to Spartan nation and they answer, and they answer really 59 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:25.600 quickly too, because what turned out is one Instagram story post ended up with, 60 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.839 like I said earlier, tens of thousands of people with their dogs, 61 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.319 with mom hugs, with sibling hugs. Or my favorite was the toddler talk. 62 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.439 So I think three or four groups of parents brought like nine toddlers, 63 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.720 which is insane. I think that's that was the craziest part about the whole 64 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.639 event to me, and these toddlers just handed out little notes and gave hugs 65 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.160 and just crazy spartanation really just kind of wowed me with how giving and loving 66 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.079 they all were. Yeah, Emily, talk about the Venmo. You know 67 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.199 it started out with like hey, donations, and you know, talk about 68 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.000 how that constantly kept growing and the amount of trips you guys took to the 69 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:11.759 stores. Oh oh, oh my gosh. The thinking Venmo. So we 70 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.800 thought this was gonna be like twenty people. You guys like my girlfriends and 71 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.800 I were like, maybe our parents will come if they're feeling ready, and 72 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.920 like they want to give up a Sunday. So I was like, we'll 73 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.360 just use my personal Venmo. I'll just change my user name. And we 74 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.800 just told everyone if you can't make it on Sunday, just send me a 75 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.199 Venmo and we can go out to the store and get whatever you would like 76 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:36.160 us to get. So once it started blowing up, we were getting just 77 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.079 Venmo after Venmo after Venmo, and I was like, my poor phone is 78 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.199 going crazy. We were going to the store like Costco and Walmart and five 79 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.600 Blow and thought we were going to get kicked out because we were just getting 80 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.920 thousands of dollars worth of stuff. We ended up with twenty three thousand, 81 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.720 four hundred dollars worth of physical items. And then during the event, we 82 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.879 were out of gift cards and out of stuff, so I ran to od 83 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:00.959 it and I was like, can you please call Meyer, like we need 84 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.680 to go buy more gift cards, and then we bought another six thousand dollars 85 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.480 worth of gift cards. So in total, we raised just about thirty thousand 86 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.720 dollars in three days for just things to give to the students. Like people 87 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.759 were so giving with their money and we were able to do it, perhaps 88 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.920 usually because of that ven Mel And so you you guys all hear that they 89 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:31.959 were able to raise thirty thousand dollars. You know that it is the lucky 90 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:42.240 number thirty. You know, Emily, I think this is a great thing 91 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.120 here, you know, like you know, it's brilliant. You know, 92 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.800 the simplicity is brilliant because there was definitely a need for it. Are you 93 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:55.279 playing on any follow up events for students as they continue to process, you 94 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.519 guys, please? I so I am a speech pathology major, and I 95 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.160 was peach pologist through and through, and I am so glad I didn't go 96 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.800 into event planning or whatever, because I have never been more exhausted after this 97 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.680 event. In the best way possible. I've had people reach out to me 98 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.600 like what else can we do to give and things like that, and Otis 99 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.199 was mentioning we should do a second Spartan Sunday, and I was like, 100 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.839 if you want to do a second Spartan Sunday, then that is you, 101 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.600 well, I said, I said an annual event, because I was like, 102 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.799 man, like, since COVID, we kind of got all separated and 103 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.519 no one wanted to talk to another or hug or whatnot. And then this 104 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.000 happened. I mean you, like I told the guys, it's like you 105 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.600 just felt love all around the campus. Man. It was like the weather 106 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.799 was great, sun was out fifty degrees. It looked like a football Saturday, 107 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.399 right from a fall tail game. And you know, it was just, 108 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.759 you know, a vibe that everyone didn't have their own agendas. Everyone 109 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.240 was giving, giving, give, and so shout out to to Emily. 110 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.159 I think to be honest, like universities like we might do this annually, 111 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.720 just show like this is a community event. But all the partners that came 112 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.440 through, man without like I said, they're on the agenda saying hey, 113 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.360 I want some publicity or I want this. It was like there was none 114 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.720 of that. So one I have to give a shout out to Kathy Cooper 115 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.840 from Meyer. She was tremendous in like whatever we needed. I almost felt 116 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.320 like I was calling her too much. You say, keep calling, keep 117 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.159 calling, We'll do whatever it takes, target PEPSI col raising everybody coming through. 118 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.919 And I feel bad. I had to shut the grandma down from her 119 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.120 bake goods because we cannot perishable items, we can't give out. But it 120 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.600 seemed how still somebody still got in there and gave some stuff out. But 121 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.879 at the point where it was just we left everybody left field with love and 122 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.320 like we needed that man because we've had that dark stamp on our campus for 123 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.679 a couple of years now and then just that tragedy. We needed something and 124 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.120 so we just wanted to rally around Emily and we appreciate her heart forgiving and 125 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.639 then obviously us providing supporting whatever she needed. And she saw the madness that 126 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.000 goes well we got to play these football games and these big events. She 127 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.080 was like, I want no parts of it no more. So wait, 128 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.799 just what the most amazing thing is too is still seeing the posts from people 129 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:35.840 the communicator it lost her oh well, I know she was saying, there 130 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.480 you go. Oh sorry. What was so amazing is certain buildings were giving 131 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.399 out the same things that we were, like squish mellows and gift cards and 132 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.279 and things like that, and people were still drawing chalk on the sidewalk. 133 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:56.840 So that just mhmm, all good. But I think, I know obviously 134 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.679 like there's still stuff coming. They're still events, I think, to be 135 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.559 honest, like every day it's been people are out there doing what they need 136 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.320 to do to welcome back and make sure our students feel safe but also love. 137 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.840 And so I was excited to be a part of it. Man. 138 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.039 Didn't want my name any of it around it. Just wanted to make sure 139 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.840 we did it right, and it did it big. And what we say 140 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.840 is like they build it, they will come, and they definitely came and 141 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.440 fulled, full out drones. Man. So kudos to that. Yeah. 142 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.240 Man, Notice, you know, we gotta we gotta say the same thing 143 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.600 to you too, you know, thank you for you know, being a 144 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.360 part of that organized reaching out to the corporate sponsors, making sure, you 145 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.360 know, getting them on board. I'm sure it's an easy ask for them, 146 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.919 but you know, kudos to you putting that together and you know, 147 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:52.960 representing you know what it means to be a Spartan. Absolutely great. I 148 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.000 mean, Yeoman's worked this past week keeping everything together. You know, you 149 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.519 were in the middle of it more than any of us, being kind of 150 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.840 the bridge between a lot of different entities around surrounding the university. And there's 151 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.879 a great job by you. Proud of you and what you've been able to 152 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.159 do and continue to do in the leadership role. Now you've got to get 153 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.440 out there and cheer for those Spartans tonight. Know hey, it's just you 154 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.879 know, you know what happened. We went to Bloomington, right, so 155 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.080 boy boy, yeah, waunch yourself to get the bail money off for Odors. 156 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.360 But we're at home. We're at home, so we at home. 157 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.720 But we got to beat these guys. I don't like these guys at all, 158 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.080 these Hoosiers, man, we got to get them right, get them 159 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.240 out of here. I mean I'm hearing that the Hoosiers right are wearing Spartan 160 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.840 Strong. Yeah, wearing Spartan Strong warm ups kind of co brand it, 161 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.840 which is awesome. The show. You know, we got some stuff happening 162 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.000 now, Like during the game, you'll see. Uh you know, we're 163 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.759 gonna play our school song uh MSU shadows and then have a moment of silence 164 00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.639 and we actually the marketing team have reserved basically eight spaces empty in the zone 165 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.519 behind the scores table to just give honor and respect to the victims. But 166 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.039 you know, people, the individuals who are still battling for their lives in 167 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.279 the hospital. So you know, we just want to make sure like yes, 168 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.879 it's it's athletics, things still kind of go and continue, but we 169 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.000 want to make sure that you know, we're they're not going to be missed 170 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.559 and their their lives are not in vain.

Really, it's all 214 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.559 I've been doing with our workouts, with our meetings and everything that we're doing 215 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.679 right now. We're full head of steam going into this offseason. I'm going 216 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.399 into springball. Well, no, given you know, obviously everyone knows about 217 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.480 the traffic events of the current eight days go on campus. How has the 218 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.079 football leadership been in response to that for the players on the team, Yeah, 219 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.599 it's been great. You know, we we have a lot of help 220 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:14.039 with a lot of people on campus, with with with just people who are 221 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.279 offering their time to make sure that we're doing well. Our coaches have made 222 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.119 it a point where we did take last week off and we wanted to make 223 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.200 sure everybody was taken care of, just in terms of just mental health wise. 224 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.079 You know, a lot a lot of people handle adversity and and you 225 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.720 know, a perfect incident like this differently, and you know, with the 226 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.920 help of coaches, with the help of our teammates coming together, you know, 227 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.240 hanging out outside of the football building and stuff like that over this weekend 228 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:47.680 and just doing things like that. Really, I feel like freed a lot 229 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.759 of minds and allowed us to come back into the building starting yesterday to get 230 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:59.440 this week going. Yeah, definitely, definitely. You know something that you 231 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.359 got it adjust to move on the fly and everything. But let's jump into 232 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.759 it. Noah, you're a kid had some success in the DMV area there. 233 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.519 You went forty was it forty one and one as a starter in high 234 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:22.680 school? What was it that attracted you to Michigan State? Uh? You 235 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:29.440 know, actually, my my freshman basketball coach was is coach d'antonio's younger brother, 236 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:36.720 John D'Antonio. And you know I played with with coach D'Antonio my freshman 237 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.720 year of basketball, and he decided, you know, hey, you want 238 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.920 to go do a camp at Michigan State. I said, yeah, sure, 239 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.960 I'll do that. And when I got up here, I went through 240 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.319 the whole camp process, made with coast D'Antonio. You know, met a 241 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.960 few recruits on the way. And actually it was at the end of the 242 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.720 camp they brought us over to the stadium. We did a little seven on 243 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.559 seven tournament and they played a highlight video at the end, and after I 244 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.160 watched the highlight video. I was pretty much one hundred percent into Michigan State 245 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.000 and that was one of the dream schools I wanted to be at. And 246 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.200 I didn't get offered by Michigan State until my senior year of high school, 247 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.279 and I was committed to Virginia Tech beforehand, and uh, you know, 248 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.440 I really wanted to take a visit to Michigan State even though I was committed, 249 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.400 And once I took that visit, you know, I was one hundred 250 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.680 percent locked into that and I knew where I wanted to be. Nice, 251 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.599 what was it that drew you to that Virginia? Was it that I entered 252 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.240 Sandman entrance at Virginia Tech? Is that a lot of that give you one 253 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:41.839 of the reasons? Right? No? In all, Seriously, I'm sure 254 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.880 that's a great picture, you and the family right there, and you've seen 255 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.839 a picture circuitating around. I don't know if we have a Kirk cousin, 256 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.039 Brian Hoyer, Nick Foles, a lot of quarterbacks that ended up having a 257 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.599 lot of NFL success being in one quarterback room at Michigan State a few years 258 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.240 back, for your time, take us inside the quarterback room right now where 259 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:10.440 you have three cable players from according to what the media says, and seeing 260 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.880 you come in games along with Peyton as a starter in a backup role, 261 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.759 and seeing how you've been able to perform. What is the chemistry like inside 262 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.880 of that room? You know, honestly, I think the chemistry is great. 263 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.680 We all get along with each other and we all push each other to 264 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.240 be better every day, and you know that goes to a test to coach 265 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.759 the coaches. You know, the coaches have created an environment for all of 266 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.119 us to you know, compete and you know, compete compete for one spot, 267 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.559 but at the end of the day, we're making each other better. 268 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.519 And one of the one of the things Coach Tuck emphasizes is, uh, 269 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.759 don't compare yourself to other people, especially in the in the building. We're 270 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.319 all teammates at the end of the day. But if you focus on yourself, 271 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.599 you know, at the end of the day, that's gonna be that's 272 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.519 gonna make you the best you. And so that's kind of the mindset I 273 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:03.319 take into it. But definitely, the competitive side within our room is growing 274 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.400 every single day. We're all getting better, we're all learning, we're all 275 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.319 getting bigger, faster, stronger, and you know, that's something that you 276 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.319 want in a program. You want a highly competitive room, and that's that's 277 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:22.720 what we have here. Yeah, so what is that you know, what's 278 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.480 your mindset? You know, going into this off season after the disappointing season 279 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.000 last year, what's your mindset and what's the mindset of the team. You 280 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:37.200 know now you guys are back doing workouts and everything right. Well, for 281 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.960 me personally, I'm going into this off season to really hone in on myself. 282 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.480 I really don't want to compare myself to anybody else on the team, 283 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.480 and so you know, my whole focus is getting myself as big as I 284 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.000 can, as strong as I can, as fast as I can, you 285 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.039 know, and and know the playbook inside and out, which I feel comfortable 286 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.599 doing right now, but there's always stuff to learn. And so if I 287 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.920 for me, I feel like that's the best approach that I could take for 288 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.960 myself. But as a team, you know, coming off of you know, 289 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.119 honestly a disappointing season for us, you know, it really fuels our 290 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.240 fire and it's something that we don't ever want to feel again. We don't 291 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.079 want to see that again. We don't want to showcase that again and so 292 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.079 you know, we're taking this to a different level with this team this year. 293 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.160 And uh, you know, there's a lot of things that the Spartan 294 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:34.839 fans should be looking forward to this this fall outstanding man. I mean, 295 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.599 when when I think about Noah Kin, let's let's get to know Noah a 296 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:44.319 little better. Like so for you, you are from Virginia. I see 297 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.359 Mama Hall says, hey Noah in the chat. She she knows you. 298 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:55.160 So you got some connectivity there from back home. What Okay, when did 299 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.680 you start playing football? Number one? But I have a follow up question 300 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.119 after that. Okay, yeah, I started it. Uh. I played 301 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.480 flag football from when I was like four years old, but I didn't start 302 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:08.240 tackling until about third grade. And you know, once I always played quarterback, 303 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.640 played a little safety back in my youth days, but nothing in nothing 304 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.920 after youth, I pretty much knew I was a quarterback. And yeah, 305 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.160 I think my love for football really started when I played tackle for my first 306 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.000 year. My mom wasn't too excited about it, but that's something I really 307 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.200 fell in love with, and uh, you know took that. I worked 308 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.720 with my QB coach Barry Thompson, started in the second grade actually before I 309 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.200 started playing and worked with him ever since, and you know, yeah, 310 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.079 my love, my love for football just grew every year from that from there 311 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:45.599 on, Greg Thompson, So you have a you know, very great reputation 312 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:49.039 and for you, how many I can ask people in the chat too. 313 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:56.759 Instruments do you play? I haven't played. I haven't played this in a 314 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.599 while, but uh, I think I started off with the you know, 315 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.240 the old basic recorder going out through elementary school. But I got into playing 316 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.240 like the violin, the saxophone, the bassoon, played a bunch of I 317 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:17.519 played a few percussion instruments in our band and then moved on to playing the 318 00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.559 guitar for a little bit. Wish I kind of kept sticking with that, 319 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.200 but then actually, just recently I bought a ukulele. I've been watching YouTube 320 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.559 videos on how to play that. But yeah, that's pretty much some of 321 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:33.240 my instruments sounds. All right, are you that guy at the at the 322 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.519 campfire that will break out the guitar and start playing try to win the chicks 323 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.960 over? Oh no, no, I don't know. I'm not that good, 324 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.640 but I got like, I got like one or two songs and me 325 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.920 and the guitar and that's it, all right. So from what I hear 326 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.880 though, like i've you know, throughout the past couple of years, I've 327 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.160 you know, had the opportunity to you know, follow you on social media, 328 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:02.000 follow your family on social media. Now your brother, your is your 329 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.160 sister the most athletic one in the family. My mom and dad say so. 330 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:15.559 But you know me, I'm a competitor. I'll never oh man. 331 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.559 So go ahead. The word on the street is you know a little bit 332 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.039 about tekwon do? Yeah, a little bit? A little bit. I 333 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.319 started, uh I think I was like three years old, and I did 334 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.319 it until I think just before high school or eighth grade or something like that. 335 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.440 And uh, I, you know, I competed at a fairly high 336 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.559 level than for my age division whatever. I was on the Junior Olympic teams 337 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.759 and stuff like that, and I would travel to Florida, Texas just to 338 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.640 do some sparring competitions and stuff. And you know, that was actually my 339 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.559 first and favorite sport. And that's something that you know, I love for 340 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.440 a long time. But once football came in, I kind of threw that 341 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:03.359 to the side. Would you like most about it? I think just the 342 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.279 competitiveness I think there. I think, you know, honestly, fighting is 343 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.480 one of the most competitive things that anybody can do, other than you know, 344 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.799 going to war or whatever. But I think the one on one fighting 345 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.440 is just really you focus on yourself and at the end of the day, 346 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.359 you just don't want another man to beat you, and so it's just man 347 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:30.240 on man who's gonna win. And that's that's what I really loved about it 348 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.839 is just I didn't like the the forums and all the flashy stuff. I 349 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.599 just like to get to it and uh, you know, see who's better. 350 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.599 Yeah, So let's go back to the football and on the field there 351 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.480 I saw you play. You know, the opportunity that you got this year 352 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.319 to get in the game, and from watching you play, especially from the 353 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.160 sideline, you were just you know, there was one game you came the 354 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.400 first player came in cold and they let you loose. You rip the ball 355 00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.880 down the field and uh, like you have that mindset of just sling it 356 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.119 and what happens happens. I know, you go through your progression and your 357 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.920 reads and everything like that, but you have that kind of like fearless mentality 358 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.640 and fearless mindset who do you like mimic as a you know, a professional 359 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:18.200 or college quarterback, who do you say your game most represents. Man, 360 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:23.039 That's that's a tough one to say. You know, I kind of take 361 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.440 bits and pieces from different people. You know, you you as a quarterback, 362 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:33.720 you want to be just a leader, uh in a field generals as 363 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.119 people say like Peyton Manning, you want to make. You want to be 364 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.599 clutch and stuff like that. Like Tom Brady. You want to have the 365 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:44.799 athleticism of you know, these athletic quarterbacks are that are in the NFL. 366 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:49.240 And you know, I try not to just be like one specific quarterback and 367 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.480 I try to figure out what I what I'm really good at and kind of 368 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.559 showcase that on the field and you know, build everything else up on the 369 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.200 way. Yeah. I think the comparison part is it is hard to answer. 370 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.039 I can't name one person, but definitely bits a piece from everybody else 371 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.000 and see see what works and see what doesn't works and kind of add that 372 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.240 to my game. So no, I'm going to ask this because you know, 373 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.319 in this era you grow up that you're playing in right now, it's 374 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:27.319 it's a transfer portal nil era. There's a lot of movement going around the 375 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.200 country. I mean you've seen teammates come and go obviously, what is it 376 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.279 that in your mind? Like, how do you approach that ability? Because 377 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.799 you see some guys just don't want to stick anywhere. They just want to 378 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.519 move and try to get that you know, their spot right or wrong. 379 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.680 People do do this, they make that decision to move on or to transfer. 380 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:55.359 What how do you approach that at Michigan State given that you know, 381 00:28:55.400 --> 00:29:00.240 you're back up right now, but you've had success coming into games as a 382 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.880 backup, so like you're there every day, how do you process that? 383 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.960 Yeah, one of the hardest things for you know, just college athletes is 384 00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.759 just the adversity of not being the guy right away. You know, you 385 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.200 go through high school and a lot of these Division one athletes, you know, 386 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.200 they're the guy on their team and so it's been that way for a 387 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.200 few years while they're coming up through high school. And then you get to 388 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.880 a college, especially a Big ten school like Michigan State, who you know, 389 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.319 strives to be the best school in the country every year, and you 390 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.039 know, when a lot of people don't see that playing time or that attention 391 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.200 or that love right away, you know, it is. It is hard 392 00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:42.039 for athletes to kind of stay mentally locked in on themselves and you know, 393 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:48.079 push and you know, keep getting better and you know, earning that spot. 394 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:53.279 And so it's it is tough to to not be the guy from day 395 00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.799 one, But at the same time, it's it's a learning lesson and something 396 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:03.240 that kind of pushes me in, kind of keeps the you know, keeps 397 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.920 the weight on my back. Where I know, I have to at every 398 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.240 school in the country, there's gonna be competition, there's gonna be players at 399 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.599 every school in the country, and so I have to earn my spot anywhere 400 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.680 I go to. And so while I'm here, I know this stuff, 401 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.319 I know what I'm doing, I know the playbook, I know my guys, 402 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.000 I have great relationships with the coaches. So why not try to earn 403 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.920 my spot here? And you know, at the end of the day, 404 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.039 because it's all belief in yourself, and you know, I believe in myself 405 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.519 almost more than anybody does. Yeah. Absolutely, man. And what I 406 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:37.759 can what I can add to that is, you know, I say, 407 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.039 stay the course. We had a lot of good guys. You got a 408 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:44.440 guy like Drew Stanton, he came in and he sat, you know for 409 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.960 a year or two. You know, Brian Horrier he sat as well. 410 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.240 So it doesn't have to be that instant gratification thing like you know everyone thinks 411 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.839 it should be. But you know, straight mentioned that you know, transfer 412 00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:02.119 portal, Nils stuff there, and I'm going to go to more of the 413 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.839 NIL side of things. And you know, as the backup quarterback in any 414 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:15.319 league in high school actually will go pee wee high school, college pros anywhere. 415 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:21.680 Everyone loves the backup quarterback, the backup quarterbacks that guy. Then they 416 00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:26.000 want to nippick everything that he does. So in the NIL age, when 417 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:33.559 all these people are yelling Noah Kim is him? Have you thought about capitalizing, 418 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.200 you know, on that trademarking, that getting that you know, n 419 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:42.279 I l you know so something. I mean, you know that the NIL 420 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.359 stuff looks you know, really great for for these for us as athletes. 421 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:49.720 You know, it's money, right, and who doesn't want money, especially 422 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.279 as an athlete, especially as a college student. But my approach, you 423 00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.359 know, you know, I think my parents for this, you know, 424 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.880 they kind of you know, they stay in my ear about just staying humble, 425 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.599 just just keep your head down, keep working, and uh, the 426 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:09.000 NILS is something that something that I want, but not something that I need 427 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.720 right now. What I need right now is to just keep doing what I'm 428 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.359 doing and focusing and you know, eventually working my way up to being on 429 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:24.279 that field, and you know, if that's God's plan. But yeah, 430 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:30.559 it looks good and it looks you know, and it's something that is right 431 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.200 there and something that you know I can dabble into, but that's not something 432 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.200 that I'm really focusing on right now. And you know, I feel like, 433 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.519 you know, once that time comes, if I do get on that 434 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:43.799 field, that you know that that NIL stuff will come with it. And 435 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.119 yeah, I don't I don't want to spend too much time on focusing on 436 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.000 n I L and what I could be earning when I have a lot to 437 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.200 prove onto the field. First, speaking of that, what do you think 438 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.440 that you need to work on in order to have that? Like where do 439 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:05.680 you feel like, because we've seen as as observers of the game, calls 440 00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:10.039 the game to use some sideline there, I mean, your pinpoint accurate, 441 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:14.200 you make good decisions, you can tell you going through professions. What is 442 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.359 in your mind do you need to improve on in order to have a shot. 443 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:23.680 Well, I think, uh one, the one thing that you know, 444 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:29.000 especially in the back of position, that I have to start with is 445 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.400 being the guy without being the guy first. So kind of what I mean 446 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.640 by that is, you know, I have to kind of have that presence 447 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.680 in the room, in the on the practice field, in the meeting room, 448 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.160 even off the field. I have to have the presence that I am 449 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.480 the guy, and I have to act in a way where I want that. 450 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:50.519 You know, I have to act in a way that shows that, 451 00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:52.519 you know, I'm serious about being the guy and that this is what I 452 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.799 want. And so, you know, if I can take the steps necessary 453 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.839 to be to be a leader, you know, to show everybody what hard 454 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.440 work is, you know, a lot of things like leading by example, 455 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.760 you know, taking command of my team and things like that. You know, 456 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:16.079 it is what's going to get me to that spot. I think playing 457 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:21.400 wise, all of us court, us, us guys in the in the 458 00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.280 QB room can all play. You know, we can all make throws, 459 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.800 we can all make the reads, we all know the playbook. But at 460 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.000 the end of the day, it's going to be who has control of the 461 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.559 team, who has who does the team have you know, their back and 462 00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.719 things like that, and I think that's something that I'm going to do and 463 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:45.159 what's going to get me onto the field that that's a great question, great 464 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:50.039 answer, No, I really you know, but on this show we kind 465 00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.000 of it's like, uh, you know, barbershop style, locker room style 466 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.719 there. And you know from a running back, you know, especially a 467 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.880 running back that played in a two back rotating system there. So when you 468 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.800 know, I was on the field and I'll come off and the defenses on 469 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.840 Javon will be like, hey, what do you see out there? What's 470 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.239 happening? Are they hitting? You know, and you're tell it giving that 471 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.639 information. So I want you to give our listeners what is it like to 472 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.679 be, you know, on game day a backup quarterback. You're the eyes, 473 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:22.760 you know, off the quarterback from a different side, from a different 474 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:27.199 view, different angle. So when you know, this past year, when 475 00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:30.840 Peyton comes off the field, what do you guys talk about? Yeah? 476 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.840 Right, you know, actually being the backup quarterback is you know one of 477 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.639 the is a very important role, not just for me but for the team. 478 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.679 You know, I have to be locked in on what the defense is 479 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:45.840 doing, so that you know, at any given moment, you know, 480 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.360 I'm ready to go. But at the same time, I can't hide any 481 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.920 information from my teammates. And so when Peyton comes off the field, let's 482 00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.960 say it's a three and out or something like that, and he asked me, 483 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.760 what what what I saw, you know, just from a different angle, 484 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:05.079 if I saw anything different from him. So we compare things that you 485 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.960 know, what he might what me what he may have saw, and what 486 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:12.960 I see things that you know, what they're doing, like little tendencies here 487 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:17.280 and there. And that goes along with the conversation with coach Johnson upstairs as 488 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:22.199 well. He'll call down sometimes and ask me what I'm seeing and if we're 489 00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.559 seeing the same things, and yeah, it's really just relaying information within our 490 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.639 little circle of QB. Interesting, you know, Noah. You know, 491 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.679 so we've had some of your teammates on the defensive side of the ball on 492 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:37.519 the show and they said that, you know, some of the reasons in 493 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.599 their minds for last year's lack of success, For a better way of putting 494 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:49.119 whatever, it was due to a lack of chemistry between new players coming in 495 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.639 and guys who have been there before. As an offensive player and leader, 496 00:36:52.679 --> 00:37:00.559 as a quarterback, do you what do you see as a tributary to not 497 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.800 having the success that you think that you should have obviously going five and seven 498 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:09.719 a year ago. Yeah, you know, a lot of guys are different 499 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.440 on the team, and you know, it's it's it's tough to really pinpoint 500 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:20.000 on why our season went in such a way that it did. I wouldn't 501 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:23.719 say it's all on the team chemistry. I feel like we do have team 502 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:28.199 chemistry. You know, we all shared the same struggle in and out the 503 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.800 building. You know, we go through the same workouts, we go through 504 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:35.280 the same struggles, we all have bad practices, and you know, one 505 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.960 of the best things for you know, team bonding is shared experience and shared 506 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.719 struggles, and so we did do a lot of that going into the season, 507 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.639 and you know, throughout the whole season, we we never we never 508 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.840 broke and that was something that you know, we we could be proud of. 509 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.039 We never we never really broke mentally. You know, we didn't get 510 00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:57.599 the wins that we wanted, but you know, at the end of the 511 00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.719 day, we went out there and we we put one hundred percent effort into 512 00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:07.599 winning every single game. But something that we we started doing this year that 513 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.239 we didn't do it as much last year. Is just kind of unit like 514 00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.039 events. So the whole offense went bowling, the whole defense went bowling. 515 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.760 We got a trivia night coming up next Monday that we're doing as an offense, 516 00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.480 and you know, just wrinkling in things here and there, just to 517 00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:29.800 keep the guys together. It's something that we're doing moving forward to see if 518 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:36.199 that can help us in any sort of way. Yeah. Absolutely, and 519 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.440 that that chemistry aspect is huge. You know, you talked to we had 520 00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:44.559 you know, a former you know Spartan dog from a Spartan still a Spartan 521 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:47.320 dog, Will Goldstan on the show and he talked about, you know, 522 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:53.360 that chemistry, how much it means to to be you know, to get 523 00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:55.639 you to that next level. So when you get out on the field, 524 00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.079 you know, you play for each other, you have that love for each 525 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.119 other, no tell us, you know what is it like? You know 526 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.239 that Spartan walk and then being in the locker room on game day to running 527 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.199 out the tunnel because I equated to you know, so I played you know, 528 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.559 five years in the league and running out of the tunnel in the NFL. 529 00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:21.760 You know, probably ten twenty times out of one hundred, you know, 530 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:23.400 the hairs from the back of your neck will stand up. But running 531 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.760 out of Spartan Stadium, one hundred out of one hundred times that hairs from 532 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.920 the back of your neck standup. What is that feeling like, you know 533 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.079 for a player, Yeah, it's a it's a it's a great feeling. 534 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.360 You know, you wake up Saturday morning or Saturday at whatever time the game 535 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:42.199 is on Saturday, you wake up that morning, you get your suit and 536 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.440 tie. You know, you look good, you feel good, You're ready 537 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.800 to go, and then you get to Spartan Statue and you know, you 538 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.760 walk through the crowds of people and they're all chanting, they're all screaming, 539 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:59.239 cheering and all that kind of stuff, and you know, it's it's really 540 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:04.000 exciting to just kind of see the support that we have here at Michigan State. 541 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.320 And you know, it's great that even though we finished five and seven, 542 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.599 we did have fans lined up all the way to the stadium cheering us 543 00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.320 on because they want to see us get a win. And that's something that 544 00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:19.800 something that one of the reasons why we play so hard is because we have 545 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.000 so much great support. And then you know, going into the locker room, 546 00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:27.440 you know it's it's very quiet. We're not playing music out loud. 547 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.920 Everybody's kind of in their own headspace. Guys have their headphones on or stretching 548 00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.039 or whatever it is, and go out for warm ups and do that whole 549 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.400 deal. But once you line up for the for the when you run out 550 00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:46.159 the tunnel, it's it's go time, and everybody is laser focused. Everybody 551 00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:51.719 is pumped, you know, they're they're all juiced up and ready to go. 552 00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.440 And then as soon as you run out the crowd and you know, 553 00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.000 everybody screaming, roaring. You know, it's something that you know, you 554 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.320 that I will never forget, something that nobody you know, it's a once 555 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:05.760 in a lifetime kind of thing, and you know, not everybody gets to 556 00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:07.199 do it. So we all, none of us take that for granted, 557 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:13.480 and we're all grateful for the experience that we are getting. M No, 558 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.480 before we let you go, you know, like you're a man after my 559 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:21.079 own heart, because you know what people don't know is because this is something 560 00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:25.079 I reserve mostly for my guys in the trenches.
