  Speaker 1: said than that. Yeah, it feels like it's something that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in brain.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I think I got it from my mom, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: just growing up at a young age. I always seen
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: her stable and you never seen her up and you
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: never seen her down. You never seen it either way
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: or nothing like that. She always made sure she kept
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a mental right, even on her words of days, you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: coming home late at night and things like that and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: not wanting to get up in the onrning, but she
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: still kept the same mindset. So, you know, just learning
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: from her and just taking everything that you're talking.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that from my mom as well. That
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: so last thing, like, just what's one thing they're looking
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to work on that you're hoping carries over to Sunday.

  Speaker 2: I say my technique, you know, uh feel like you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: sometimes I step out. I step out of my technique
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: sometimes here and there. But uh, the only as I
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: got my technique, and like I said, my.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Mentals, I guess I had one more. What does it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: mean for you to to hear someone like like Vic Vangiel? Alright,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: get I guess for someone like Victims to add more
• 9:39
