- 0:08Speaker 1: Monday today. Boys, let's fucking go. Where's the energy? Where's
- 0:11Speaker 1: the energy? The only you know, there are no moral victories.
- 0:16Speaker 1: There are no moral victories but the boys. The Nebraska
- 0:19Speaker 1: boys played their ass off this weekend. But hey, there's
- 0:22Speaker 1: no moral victories other than that. Though. We swept. We
- 0:26Speaker 1: swept it all. Washington Football Team, dub Tennessee Titans, dub
- 0:33Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. We're two and zero, like what. And it
- 0:37Speaker 1: was my birthday. So it's just been a great weekend
- 0:40Speaker 1: all around, outside of the Nebraska game, which we'll get
- 0:42Speaker 1: into before we get into it, before we get into everything.
- 0:45Speaker 1: This episode is always brought to you by the greatest
- 0:50Speaker 1: truck brand in all of the world, the Chevy Silverado,
- 0:54Speaker 1: the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. The Silverado is strong, advanced, dependable,
- 0:59Speaker 1: hard working, great, and all the things we talk about
- 1:01Speaker 1: every week. The design is big, bolt and commanding. This
- 1:05Speaker 1: truck turns heads. It's hey, it's Monday right now, and
- 1:08Speaker 1: everybody in Nashville knows how hard it's been raining all
- 1:11Speaker 1: damn day, and the Chevy Silverado doesn't bat an eye.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Everyone else is swerving out there, kind of getting caught
- 1:17Speaker 1: in the water a little bit, sliding a little bit.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Not to Chevy Silverado. Why because it's dependable and you
- 1:22Speaker 1: can rely on that thing. A partner with grit and determination,
- 1:25Speaker 1: anything is possible. And the Silverado is a partner in
- 1:29Speaker 1: that it's used for tailgating, hauling, whether it's a new
- 1:33Speaker 1: big screen TV, tailgate equipment, whatever the case may be, towing,
- 1:37Speaker 1: towing boats, RV trailers, towing the bus off roading, moving day,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and like I said, driving in the rain, helping out
- 1:42Speaker 1: your friend or family member. Garrett, you remember that road trips.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Go to a Chevy dealership near you. Let him know
- 1:49Speaker 1: that the boy sent you personally the boy I used
- 1:53Speaker 1: Freeland Chevrolet right out here in Nashville. If you go
- 1:56Speaker 1: to Freeland and you let them know, you let those
- 1:58Speaker 1: boys know, hey will Compton the boy he sent me.
- 2:01Speaker 1: You might get a little something extra. I can't tell
- 2:03Speaker 1: you what it is, it's up to them, but you
- 2:05Speaker 1: might get a little something thrown in there for you.
- 2:07Speaker 1: So enjoy a little weekend day before the big game,
- 2:10Speaker 1: and go get your Chevy Soverado at any car dealership
- 2:14Speaker 1: near you. Now, a lot of stuff to talk about.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Number one we have on Spencer Lee. He'll be the
- 2:22Speaker 1: interview guests here in a little bit. We got to
- 2:24Speaker 1: get through some current events and some current topics first
- 2:26Speaker 1: because we've had a couple like recent pods with Roger
- 2:29Speaker 1: Soefold and Jeff Simmons, awesome pods, some bad timing, but
- 2:35Speaker 1: some awesome pods. Nonetheless, you know, we had to take
- 2:38Speaker 1: an L. The boys had to take a little bit
- 2:40Speaker 1: of an L. Last week is the boy. We talked
- 2:42Speaker 1: about Jeff Simmons getting five sacks out a high school
- 2:44Speaker 1: game and Ryan Tannehill got sacked five times, and so
- 2:48Speaker 1: we had to eat a little bit of an L
- 2:50Speaker 1: last week. It was tough, but just like always, we
- 2:53Speaker 1: danced in the rain, we had fun, and we fought
- 2:57Speaker 1: through the adversity. The boys started off a tough oh
- 3:01Speaker 1: to one. I think it was tough for everybody out there.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And uh, a lot of stray bullets. The boys are
- 3:08Speaker 1: catching a lot of straight bullets. I'm catching stray bullets
- 3:10Speaker 1: up in the stands. I can't even go home to
- 3:11Speaker 1: my family. People are throwing shit at me. And the
- 3:15Speaker 1: boys were going through it but again, just like anybody
- 3:18Speaker 1: who can withstand any of this pressure, the Boys did
- 3:22Speaker 1: because the Boys bounced back in Week two against Seattle
- 3:26Speaker 1: and at one of the toughest stadiums to play in
- 3:29Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Boys outed him in
- 3:32Speaker 1: OT thirty three thirty. We needed this win bad. We
- 3:36Speaker 1: needed been this win bad because of Week one the
- 3:39Speaker 1: Boys at Bustin. We needed this win bad. Julio my
- 3:43Speaker 1: main Julio needed this win a little bit because of
- 3:46Speaker 1: because he needed a bounce back game as well. Speaking
- 3:48Speaker 1: of Julio, let's talk about that that that catch that
- 3:53Speaker 1: he had that was considered out of bounce and that
- 3:57Speaker 1: was a touchdown. Do we have that photo? What's crazy
- 4:00Speaker 1: is that we were talking about it at our little
- 4:03Speaker 1: birthday bash or a little birthday party yesterday, because yes, sir,
- 4:05Speaker 1: it was you know, it was my birthday last Sunday
- 4:08Speaker 1: birthday shots to the boy. But we were like, why
- 4:12Speaker 1: can't if you challenge a play, why can't you come
- 4:14Speaker 1: correct with your own evidence, Like why can't Donald Page
- 4:18Speaker 1: or whoever took that photo right, that very high def
- 4:21Speaker 1: four K photo and send it in And Ray pulls
- 4:24Speaker 1: and pulls out his phone and says, hey, here's all
- 4:26Speaker 1: the evidence you need. The heel is in. But what's
- 4:29Speaker 1: bullshit to me is like what what? Like? Is the
- 4:33Speaker 1: full rule? Is it?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Like?
- 4:36Speaker 1: I had a tweet? So if you tiptoe and the
- 4:37Speaker 1: rest of your body goes out of balance, it's a catch.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But if you tiptoe and then your heel goes out
- 4:41Speaker 1: of balance, it's not a catch. Jp you weren't there
- 4:44Speaker 1: would would would you not agree with that? That was
- 4:48Speaker 1: a fair That was a fair assessment. All the boys
- 4:50Speaker 1: across the ward were like, hey, that's com Hey, that's
- 4:52Speaker 1: comp that's a great point. Comp.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense why it would be any other way.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Right, So if you toe drag we have tow drag
- 5:03Speaker 1: swag all the time, right, you have the little clips
- 5:05Speaker 1: of the toes getting in, the body catches the ball
- 5:08Speaker 1: way out of balance and they fall. Your body eventually
- 5:11Speaker 1: falls out of balance, but your toes in. But if
- 5:14Speaker 1: your toes in backwards, the rest of your body still
- 5:19Speaker 1: has to fall out of bounce your heels a part
- 5:22Speaker 1: of your body. Like, if your toe is in, why
- 5:24Speaker 1: is that not a catch? And not to mention, we
- 5:27Speaker 1: don't even have to go to the photo because this
- 5:29Speaker 1: heel was in, So I don't know, like what angles.
- 5:31Speaker 1: What sucks is that the refs don't have to face
- 5:35Speaker 1: the media after the game. The rest don't have to
- 5:38Speaker 1: give explanation, you know what it's I think it's also
- 5:41Speaker 1: shitty for them because I think some refs would like
- 5:44Speaker 1: to have some accountability for themselves. Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 4: On the broadcast yesterday, they were talking about the officiating
- 5:56Speaker 4: crew having a track record of something like Knight teen
- 6:00Speaker 4: calls and fifteen of them were reversed.
- 6:03Speaker 5: So the nineteen times on this one calls and fifteen
- 6:08Speaker 5: times skeptical.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what all the calls were. Some
- 6:12Speaker 1: of them might have been reversible. I know this one
- 6:14Speaker 1: shouldn't have been reversed because clearly, as you guys are
- 6:18Speaker 1: beautifully watching at home, this photo was taken by the
- 6:21Speaker 1: Titans PR. I don't want to say names. I think
- 6:22Speaker 1: it was Donald, but maybe it wasn't Donald, so I
- 6:24Speaker 1: don't want to accidentally give him credit if somebody else
- 6:27Speaker 1: took the photo. But we can assume that Donald took
- 6:29Speaker 1: the photo. Hey, shout out Donald, Page Bay shouts the
- 6:34Speaker 1: boy baby. But this one shouldn't have been reversed. I
- 6:39Speaker 1: truly like I don't get it. And like again, like
- 6:41Speaker 1: let's say his heel was out of bounce. I don't understand,
- 6:44Speaker 1: like why his toe couldn't have counted going backwards just
- 6:46Speaker 1: like it does going forward and the rest of your
- 6:48Speaker 1: body goes out of bounce. Uh But either way, thank
- 6:51Speaker 1: god the boys bounce back because that was a game.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I felt like that was a little game changing call
- 6:56Speaker 1: and uh man, we just we needed that win bad. Garrett. Hey,
- 7:01Speaker 1: huge Titans fans. We got Garrett, we got Jack. How
- 7:04Speaker 1: do you guys feel? How do you guys feel about
- 7:06Speaker 1: getting out of Seattle with a win? Getting out of
- 7:08Speaker 1: the twelfth Man Arena with a win? A huge win
- 7:12Speaker 1: in Seattle? I saw another stab.
- 7:14Speaker 5: It was like, uh, Seahawks going into the fourth quarter
- 7:18Speaker 5: up fourteen or like fifteen to o in the last
- 7:20Speaker 5: couple of years. So for us to be able to
- 7:23Speaker 5: go in there and do that was massive. Twitter was
- 7:26Speaker 5: a graveyard last week. Everybody was taking shots like you
- 7:30Speaker 5: and right, left and right, everyone catching trade bullets. We
- 7:33Speaker 5: we found out who our real friends were, that's for sure.
- 7:35Speaker 5: But it was good to just kind of calm to
- 7:38Speaker 5: call We're not we're not gonna out anybody, but Yeah,
- 7:41Speaker 5: they were.
- 7:42Speaker 1: There were some battles with the friends. We talked, Yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 1: we had.
- 7:45Speaker 5: You know, there were text messages being sent to everybody.
- 7:48Speaker 5: You know, we were catching blame for a lot of
- 7:50Speaker 5: things that the brand, the Boys, the Boys individuals, you know, everybody.
- 7:54Speaker 5: We're not even gonna give them any kind of credibility though,
- 7:57Speaker 5: any spotlight, because everybody wants to jump ship the first
- 8:00Speaker 5: time we have some some bad stuff go down, and
- 8:03Speaker 5: so obviously week one we had some things to work out.
- 8:05Speaker 5: So it was huge for us to go into Seattle,
- 8:07Speaker 5: one of the best teams in the league, one of
- 8:09Speaker 5: the best, biggest crowds, play against that twelfth Man and
- 8:13Speaker 5: then we got the Julio ordeal and then we had
- 8:15Speaker 5: Russell almost with a walk off safety to end it,
- 8:18Speaker 5: which is also something that yeah, yeah, you saw that
- 8:22Speaker 5: photo where he's like a yard short and that there
- 8:24Speaker 5: are just a lot of things with the refs that
- 8:26Speaker 5: obviously didn't go our way. Yeah, we were playing against
- 8:29Speaker 5: the refs, So it was good to come out with
- 8:31Speaker 5: a win. If we didn't have that win, you know,
- 8:34Speaker 5: who knows it made Yeah, no, they'd be coming to
- 8:38Speaker 5: the bus and.
- 8:38Speaker 1: We wouldn't have got this one. We're taking the bus.
- 8:41Speaker 1: We have to be going somewhere else. Boy, especially we're
- 8:44Speaker 1: not like, I'll did you finish your thought? I didn't
- 8:47Speaker 1: want to cut you off.
- 8:47Speaker 5: My fault really, just especially coming back to Nashville this
- 8:50Speaker 5: week with the Colts coming divisional game there zero and two.
- 8:54Speaker 5: If we're able to put the Colt to oh and three,
- 8:56Speaker 5: especially with the track record we have with the Colts,
- 8:59Speaker 5: it's gonna be massive for us in the AFC South,
- 9:01Speaker 5: and Houston doesn't look you know, as bad as everyone
- 9:04Speaker 5: says they do too, So this week coming in, it's
- 9:07Speaker 5: got to be loud. Nashville must win. If we can
- 9:09Speaker 5: put the Cold to oh and three, us go two
- 9:11Speaker 5: and one. We got, you know a lot of that.
- 9:14Speaker 5: The naysayers on Twitter talking a lot of shit to us.
- 9:18Speaker 5: I think that'll kind of fizzle out.
- 9:20Speaker 1: So I just don't understand the shit talking by the
- 9:22Speaker 1: people on Twitter, especially if you're a fan of I
- 9:24Speaker 1: saw somebody say because I said, credit to everybody for
- 9:28Speaker 1: I forget what I said. I said, like, credit to
- 9:29Speaker 1: everybody for staying you know, staying staying even keel or
- 9:33Speaker 1: staying composed throughout the week. And somebody's like, oh, if
- 9:35Speaker 1: you didn't have emotions, then you're not a Titans fan.
- 9:37Speaker 1: It's like, well, what kind of bullshit is that? So
- 9:40Speaker 1: if your wife pisses you off and you don't hit her,
- 9:42Speaker 1: that means you don't love her, you know what I mean,
- 9:47Speaker 1: you don't get mad. But I'm just saying you don't
- 9:52Speaker 1: get like pissed off and like cuss out your significant
- 9:55Speaker 1: other if they piss you off, Like, oh baby, that
- 9:57Speaker 1: just means I love you. Like what kind of dumb
- 9:58Speaker 1: shit is that? Relationship shit? It just means I care
- 10:02Speaker 1: about you that much, right right? Yeah, I just don't
- 10:05Speaker 1: want I just don't want it. Like, you know, I
- 10:07Speaker 1: get it. We started off on one and it was
- 10:08Speaker 1: a bad on one. Now we bounced back now and
- 10:11Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, yeah, it was great to see that.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm glad they you know, I'm glad they bounced back
- 10:15Speaker 1: like they were in charge. Like, yeah, they better of
- 10:17Speaker 1: or they would have had to meet me type of thing.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Like everybody kind of talks that way. And another thing too,
- 10:22Speaker 1: is like people taking shots, and I get it. You
- 10:23Speaker 1: want to take shots at busting because for whatever, for
- 10:26Speaker 1: whatever reason, whether you hate you hate on the boys,
- 10:30Speaker 1: you got a little jealousy or envy, you know, with
- 10:31Speaker 1: the media people out there. Taylor definitely runs the Twitter
- 10:35Speaker 1: account too. That's that's why they're Yeah, people did catch
- 10:38Speaker 1: us because Taylor runs our Twitter account. Taylor runs the
- 10:40Speaker 1: bus with the Boys Twitter account. So they're right, like Taylor,
- 10:42Speaker 1: like he clearly his priorities, blah blah blah, this and that.
- 10:45Speaker 1: It just it's just it's so easy. I get it though.
- 10:48Speaker 1: It's easy to grab some cloud. Everyone's out there cloud
- 10:50Speaker 1: chasing on on social media, myself included. Everyone's sitting everyone
- 10:53Speaker 1: who has a profile is doing some cloud chasing because
- 10:57Speaker 1: you're there trying to gain status, and to get in
- 11:00Speaker 1: any status in this status game, you got to tear
- 11:02Speaker 1: somebody down. Busting with the Boys is an easy plug
- 11:04Speaker 1: because the boy, you know, I don't even want to
- 11:06Speaker 1: say juggles both because he doesn't even really juggle. I know,
- 11:09Speaker 1: I was really double and triple downing against old portnoy
- 11:11Speaker 1: On saying like juggling both things. But you gotta be
- 11:14Speaker 1: careful saying that because people think he prioritizes busting with
- 11:16Speaker 1: the Boys over playing football, and everyone who listens and
- 11:19Speaker 1: knows anyway, I'm not even preaching to a new choir
- 11:21Speaker 1: because our audience was fucking tier one. We got a
- 11:24Speaker 1: bunch of day ones out there. Everyone knows that the
- 11:26Speaker 1: boy's focused on ball right now. And yeah, I know
- 11:30Speaker 1: that the boy was going through it after that game,
- 11:33Speaker 1: Like who doesn't like you come off? You have the
- 11:35Speaker 1: couple of years and I Number one, he's the boys
- 11:38Speaker 1: hard on himself for not having a healthy year last year.
- 11:41Speaker 1: He tours Aco last year because he was on pace
- 11:43Speaker 1: to you know, be part of the two K season
- 11:45Speaker 1: hopefully you know, get that rushing title with Derrick Henry,
- 11:48Speaker 1: or get that rushing record with the Boys getting back
- 11:51Speaker 1: to his Pro Bowl esque play by after he had
- 11:56Speaker 1: the ped year the year before, because he got pop
- 11:58Speaker 1: for pds, finished strong, the Boys went to the AC Championship.
- 12:01Speaker 1: But the boy was really like down that he didn't
- 12:04Speaker 1: get to complete as year last year. So he tears
- 12:06Speaker 1: his ACL and he comes back after a long year
- 12:09Speaker 1: of just living. Number one, he wanted to come back
- 12:11Speaker 1: from the ACL fast, like everybody does when they want
- 12:14Speaker 1: to come back from an injury. So as he's learned
- 12:17Speaker 1: with the a CL and A and a big surgery
- 12:19Speaker 1: like an ACL procedure, you realize, like you know, you
- 12:23Speaker 1: kind of have to. You got to give yourself some
- 12:25Speaker 1: grace and realize, like you're not gonna You're only gonna
- 12:28Speaker 1: come back as fast as your body allows you to.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And the boy had a rough first game. Everyone knows it.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Nobody's running from it. Like the boy had a tough
- 12:36Speaker 1: first game. All the boys had a tough first game.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But everyone acts like like his priorities are messed up
- 12:41Speaker 1: and that his focus is out of whack and that
- 12:43Speaker 1: he's been he's changed everything up, like you see the
- 12:46Speaker 1: you see the tweets out there, Oh he looks like
- 12:48Speaker 1: a podcaster and this and that because it's just an
- 12:50Speaker 1: easy jab to throw. But uh, yeah, the boy had
- 12:54Speaker 1: a rough one. But it's like you got to give
- 12:55Speaker 1: yourself some grace and realize you're not just gonna come
- 12:58Speaker 1: back and be like like maybe you are. I don't
- 13:02Speaker 1: want to this, I don't want this to come off wrong,
- 13:04Speaker 1: but you got to give yourself some empathy that it's
- 13:07Speaker 1: just not gonna happen overnight, Like you're not gonna bounce
- 13:09Speaker 1: back and everything's not gonna be out there. He knows
- 13:11Speaker 1: that and understands that. I'm more so giving context to
- 13:14Speaker 1: everybody listening. That's had all these opinions about the boy
- 13:17Speaker 1: that said X, Y and Z that they said all
- 13:19Speaker 1: the shit, like, nobody knows what the dudes went through.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I've seen it. We had to take our paw, we
- 13:24Speaker 1: had to go to Arizona to record some things. And
- 13:28Speaker 1: like anytime that that happens, it's always ball first over
- 13:31Speaker 1: the podcast. And again, I know people know this is
- 13:34Speaker 1: just to give some context because I know people want
- 13:36Speaker 1: people are, oh, we should we should be saying something,
- 13:39Speaker 1: or we should have Chandler Jones on the bus and
- 13:41Speaker 1: saying all this dumb shit that people don't understand like
- 13:45Speaker 1: that people just aren't on the inside that knows what
- 13:46Speaker 1: goes on. The boy understands what kind of game he had,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and he's he's anxious and he's ready to get back
- 13:53Speaker 1: out there. It sucked. He had another hiccup again, Like
- 13:56Speaker 1: you have a bad game. The first thing you want
- 13:58Speaker 1: when you're a player and you have a bad game,
- 13:59Speaker 1: you can't wait until you get to the next game
- 14:02Speaker 1: to bounce back because you know you're gonna have a
- 14:04Speaker 1: bounce back game. You can't wait to get the bad
- 14:06Speaker 1: taste out of your mouth because you put some bad
- 14:09Speaker 1: stuff on tape, and everyone hates watching themselves do bad
- 14:12Speaker 1: shit on film. You think I enjoyed when Rogers saffold
- 14:15Speaker 1: almost through many stands, Yes, I can laugh at it
- 14:17Speaker 1: and have fun with it. But I'm watching that game
- 14:19Speaker 1: and I'm like, motherfucker, I hate that I have that
- 14:21Speaker 1: bad shit on tape. When KB caught that ball, Yeah,
- 14:25Speaker 1: could I cover it any better? Probably not, But I
- 14:29Speaker 1: want to make that play because you don't want to
- 14:31Speaker 1: look bad on tape. You don't want people to have
- 14:33Speaker 1: shit that have all the petty stuff. You know. I
- 14:35Speaker 1: go back and forth and have fun with an embrace
- 14:37Speaker 1: and do all the bullshit with it, but you hate
- 14:39Speaker 1: putting bad shit on tape. And my coach that after
- 14:42Speaker 1: I played the Titans in Oakland that next week, somebody
- 14:45Speaker 1: got cut. Preston Brown got cut. He didn't even play
- 14:47Speaker 1: that bad. We all played bad. I'm not saying that bad,
- 14:50Speaker 1: like he played bad and deserved it. But the Coachlarer
- 14:52Speaker 1: looked me in the face and goes, will you think
- 14:54Speaker 1: you played good enough for him to get for Preston
- 14:56Speaker 1: to get cut just now? And I have to look
- 14:59Speaker 1: at him like no, because I knew I played shitty again.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Mind you this was when k called that ball and
- 15:03Speaker 1: me Roger threw me in the stands, like had a
- 15:05Speaker 1: bad outing, had a bad day, laid up sleepless nights
- 15:07Speaker 1: like I can't wait to get to the next game
- 15:10Speaker 1: to get this bad taste out of my mouth. That's
- 15:12Speaker 1: all it is. That's all it is when you have
- 15:13Speaker 1: a bad game, like the Titans knew, all the boys knew,
- 15:16Speaker 1: like they weren't the same team that they put on
- 15:19Speaker 1: film on week one. It's just you got to get back,
- 15:21Speaker 1: have some accountability, have some optimism going into the next week,
- 15:24Speaker 1: and you bounce back. That's what you do. You don't
- 15:26Speaker 1: dwell and make excuses like you know a lot of
- 15:27Speaker 1: Twitter does, and a lot of people that are down
- 15:29Speaker 1: bad due you dwell in the situation. You don't see
- 15:31Speaker 1: the big picture for what it is though. The ones
- 15:34Speaker 1: who get over it, like the Titans did. You have accountability,
- 15:36Speaker 1: you have optimism. I know the boy wanted to bounce
- 15:38Speaker 1: back this week and again he hypercentded his knee. We
- 15:42Speaker 1: have the clip that people, you know, people saw that.
- 15:44Speaker 1: You know you're again anxious to get back out there
- 15:47Speaker 1: and restart, like, hey, let's put week one behind us.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Let's go in the week two, then you hypersend your knee,
- 15:53Speaker 1: so you can only imagine what the boy like. It
- 15:55Speaker 1: just fucking sucks. But like we always say, like we
- 15:58Speaker 1: like to say to each other, like hey, nobody's coming
- 16:00Speaker 1: to save you. The boy knows, and I know he'll
- 16:03Speaker 1: be ready to go. I know I'm talking about him
- 16:05Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm kind of like, I feel like,
- 16:07Speaker 1: do I sound like I'm speaking for him?
- 16:09Speaker 2: No?
- 16:10Speaker 1: I don't think so, Okay, I gotta want to speak
- 16:12Speaker 1: for him. There's so many different types of red tape
- 16:15Speaker 1: and stuff that you want to step around to make
- 16:17Speaker 1: sure you don't fucking mess up. So people have fucking
- 16:20Speaker 1: clips and shit like that for it. But that's just
- 16:23Speaker 1: giving you guys context on the situation because the people
- 16:27Speaker 1: who talk about the podcast and the stuff anything other
- 16:30Speaker 1: than football just have no clue the lifestyle that the
- 16:34Speaker 1: boy actually lives and and you know what what he
- 16:36Speaker 1: goes through on the daily band says, and what that
- 16:38Speaker 1: entire team does, because everybody was going for everybody's head
- 16:40Speaker 1: after that first game. Moving one, the Raiders are two,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and oh we got some heat cooking up for the
- 16:49Speaker 1: boys too, Like we can't where you know, I learned
- 16:52Speaker 1: after week one. I can't just ride this wave. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: can't just ride this roller coaster. The boy's got to
- 16:56Speaker 1: he's got to look at he's got to look into
- 16:57Speaker 1: what's best for his family, for his uh, for my
- 17:01Speaker 1: skin out there on social media. I gotta look out
- 17:03Speaker 1: for what's best for the boy. I gotta stay safe
- 17:04Speaker 1: out there, So I'm gonna hop on. You know, you
- 17:06Speaker 1: gotta hop on the bandwagons of the teams you play for.
- 17:08Speaker 1: People like, oh, you're just picking the teams that you
- 17:10Speaker 1: played for, Like okay, sick, you can't do that, like
- 17:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like dudes just like mad
- 17:16Speaker 1: because I get to go, Oh, the Raiders, I know
- 17:18Speaker 1: a lot of those boys. Let me just go out
- 17:19Speaker 1: in the woodworking and pick the Raiders. But we got
- 17:22Speaker 1: some merch cooking up for the Raiders fans, for the
- 17:24Speaker 1: the tier ones, them Raider tier ones that we got

- 17:54Speaker 1: chilly roll as jelly roll the best our spootover merches out.

- 18:04Speaker 1: where stored up barstool sports dot com. All of our
- 18:06Speaker 1: merches out there.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Uh.
- 18:08Speaker 1: But yeah, we got some stuff cooking up for the
- 18:09Speaker 1: Raiders room, might get some stuff going. You know what
- 18:11Speaker 1: I like? I like uh, I like lean. I like
- 18:13Speaker 1: being able to watch the boys in Nebraska. Now. I
- 18:16Speaker 1: like being able to have my saturdays free to watch
- 18:17Speaker 1: the boys in Nebraska. We were down bad and there
- 18:21Speaker 1: are again there are no moral victories. I'm gonna keep
- 18:23Speaker 1: saying that there's no moral victories. But the boys played
- 18:28Speaker 1: their ass off against Oklahoma. I'm stoked from the build
- 18:31Speaker 1: off of this number one. They should have beat Oklahoma.
- 18:36Speaker 1: What Jack, what's so funny?
- 18:39Speaker 5: I'm just invested with you because we've talked about it.
- 18:42Speaker 5: Because I'm a Tennessee fan, I feel like Tennessee, Nebraska
- 18:45Speaker 5: the Michigan's.
- 18:46Speaker 1: We're all in this same boat.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Yeah, where it's like we're historic programs, but the last
- 18:50Speaker 5: decade have been shitty. Yeah, by the way to put it,
- 18:53Speaker 5: so like, I feel like I'm living like an alternate
- 18:56Speaker 5: reality through you with Nebraska as tnc and so it's
- 19:00Speaker 5: just like I for all of us, baby, I want
- 19:03Speaker 5: us all you want.
- 19:07Speaker 1: But hey, I'm telling you, man, Alex. You didn't get
- 19:09Speaker 1: to watch the game, did you. No, I just saw
- 19:11Speaker 1: you on Twitter. If the boys make the field goals,
- 19:14Speaker 1: and I don't want to do I don't want to
- 19:16Speaker 1: attack the kid. He's just a kid. He's just a boy.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I know he's going through some tough shit, the kicker.
- 19:20Speaker 1: But when we make those kicks, if we make those
- 19:23Speaker 1: field goals and that extra point, because you got to remember,
- 19:25Speaker 1: the extra point got taken back to the house for
- 19:27Speaker 1: an extra two points. That was a three point swing
- 19:29Speaker 1: right there on an extra point after putting up a
- 19:31Speaker 1: good tuddy. And we make those kicks and that extra point,
- 19:36Speaker 1: we're winning the game. Like we're beating number three Oklahoma.
- 19:39Speaker 1: We're storming the field. Because the rivalry is now the
- 19:42Speaker 1: rivalry's back. And don't you remember back earlier in the
- 19:45Speaker 1: off season, Oklahoma was trying to back out of the
- 19:47Speaker 1: game against Nebraska. They weren't trying to play the Boys.
- 19:51Speaker 1: The Boys like, no, no, we got to keep this
- 19:52Speaker 1: game alive. We got we're playing these guys. So Oklahoma
- 19:55Speaker 1: tried backing out. They play the game, they get lucky,
- 19:57Speaker 1: they beat us because we beat ourselves in the first
- 19:59Speaker 1: drive too out of mind you we had to settle
- 20:01Speaker 1: for a field goal. Fortunately we made that one, but
- 20:04Speaker 1: we had five penalties, four or five penalties in the
- 20:06Speaker 1: first drive. We don't get those penalties were probably gonna
- 20:08Speaker 1: score a touchdown and put the game even more out
- 20:10Speaker 1: of reach. We should have been up like sixteen seven
- 20:12Speaker 1: at a half time, and then you probably run away
- 20:14Speaker 1: with it thirty four fourteen. At the end of the year,
- 20:20Speaker 1: I can't even keep the straight face anymore. Like just
- 20:23Speaker 1: just talk so much ninsense, talk so much nonsense. But no,
- 20:27Speaker 1: for real, I was. I was like optimistic after that game.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I felt like the Boys started off. We lost to Illinois.
- 20:32Speaker 1: We kind of you know, we made make a wish
- 20:34Speaker 1: happen for Illinois, and I'm happy about that. You know,
- 20:37Speaker 1: take a lot of pride in being charitable. But I
- 20:40Speaker 1: thought we were down bad a little bit. Who do
- 20:42Speaker 1: you have next week with the boys? The boys? The boys,
- 20:45Speaker 1: I almost bounce back against against Oklahoma. They put up
- 20:48Speaker 1: a good fight out there. There are no moral victories though.
- 20:52Speaker 1: This next week we got Michigan State. What does that mean?
- 20:58Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. You were like, who
- 21:00Speaker 1: do they got next week? They got Michigan State? They
- 21:01Speaker 1: got twenty Michigan State. I think that it's a very
- 21:03Speaker 1: beatable Michigan State team, very beatable. I don't know much
- 21:06Speaker 1: about them, but I think they're very beatable. I can't
- 21:08Speaker 1: go on and talk about what the schemes they do
- 21:10Speaker 1: and everything else because I'm not an analyst. I think
- 21:14Speaker 1: Michigan State's beatable. I know a lot of those defensive
- 21:16Speaker 1: coaches over there, so maybe I need to like hit
- 21:18Speaker 1: up our offensive guys and and talk about like what
- 21:21Speaker 1: they run and shit like that because a lot of
- 21:22Speaker 1: them are my old college coaches. And I was thinking
- 21:26Speaker 1: about going back to the to the homecoming game. Is
- 21:30Speaker 1: that that's not this week? No, it's at Michigan State.
- 21:34Speaker 6: Uh.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The next time game is October second, against Northwestern Oh
- 21:37Speaker 1: and then October ninth against Michigan. Ooh, maybe go and
- 21:42Speaker 1: make an appearance at the Michigan game. See if Portnell
- 21:44Speaker 1: will get the college Game Day crew. There were like, hey,
- 21:48Speaker 1: let's like, let's make a little deal out of Michigan Nebraska.
- 21:50Speaker 1: We'll go were they But it's Dave. He's all Michigan
- 21:57Speaker 1: really not the role. Get the cameras, see what kind
- 22:01Speaker 1: of feel passes we can get. It was up to
- 22:03Speaker 1: all the tier ones out there, all the Nebraska fans listening.
- 22:05Speaker 1: What'd you say, Garrett?
- 22:06Speaker 4: I was just throwing our boys' name out there, a
- 22:08Speaker 4: little shout out.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Who was it? Awesome? Winfrey shout out Ausome Winfree, you're
- 22:12Speaker 1: a boys all free shoutouts. Yeah. I feel like we
- 22:14Speaker 1: need to get to uh, we need to get to
- 22:16Speaker 1: a Nebraska game. Since I got all this free time
- 22:17Speaker 1: with my hands, it's tough, like just rooting for all
- 22:19Speaker 1: these teams, several teams, I felt like I need to
- 22:22Speaker 1: go actually support them in person, you know what I mean,
- 22:24Speaker 1: outside of just the tailgates, which, by the way, we're
- 22:26Speaker 1: gonna have another tailgate this weekend and act me go
- 22:28Speaker 1: to it. We're gonna hay those shirts that you guys
- 22:31Speaker 1: there were. You know what, my hand's up on this.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I promoted a shirt not long ago and it was
- 22:38Speaker 1: the boys shirt. Phenomenal, great shirt, the oiler colors, like,
- 22:41Speaker 1: the shirt is a banger, And we can only get
- 22:44Speaker 1: like fifteen made because the warehouse was lowish low on
- 22:49Speaker 1: the quantity, right, so we couldn't get him printed and
- 22:52Speaker 1: get him, couldn't get him to us fast enough. But
- 22:54Speaker 1: I was told Barcel, I was like, just send me
- 22:56Speaker 1: the fifteen. We'll just do a little thing at the tailgate.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I didn't know that it was gonna be like shirt
- 23:01Speaker 1: of the year, you know what I mean? Like I
- 23:03Speaker 1: got to Act ME on Sunday? Who was I with?
- 23:05Speaker 1: Was I with JP? And the line is wrapped around
- 23:09Speaker 1: Act Me without the doors opening yet doors open at
- 23:11Speaker 1: ten o'clock like the actual ACTME doors open at ten o'clock.
- 23:14Speaker 1: But there's a line wrapped around and people are wanting
- 23:16Speaker 1: that shirt, people wanting that the boy's shirt. And I'm
- 23:18Speaker 1: sitting there going in thinking, fuck me, I did that video.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Everyone thinks we got these shirts at the tailgate, and
- 23:25Speaker 1: the shirts were gone in the first fifteen purchases by
- 23:30Speaker 1: five that's what I'm saying. I didn't even know that. Yeah,
- 23:34Speaker 1: so like everybody who was probably in the back of
- 23:37Speaker 1: the line, like damn, they sold out already. Hey they're popular.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Like that person who's probably sixth in line, that's probably
- 23:42Speaker 1: like he didn't get a shirt, Like, what the fuck's
- 23:44Speaker 1: going on? I literally got here at nine am. But
- 23:49Speaker 1: we're restocking everything. Everything will be restocked. If there's one
- 23:52Speaker 1: thing the boys learned about, it's hey, we need to
- 23:53Speaker 1: have shit stocked. Last year was the COVID year, so
- 23:56Speaker 1: we did like and the year before that, the boys
- 23:58Speaker 1: were like newer, so we we just weren't slingk merch
- 24:00Speaker 1: like the boys have been slinging merch. And last year
- 24:03Speaker 1: was the COVID year, so you just the numbers were lower.
- 24:05Speaker 1: The numbers were low, we were capped off, so stuff
- 24:08Speaker 1: flew out. And I've realized, like, I can't do the
- 24:11Speaker 1: fans like that because you guys come to that tailgate.
- 24:13Speaker 1: I need to have this merch ready for you guys.
- 24:14Speaker 1: So there will be those new shirts. You'll be able
- 24:17Speaker 1: to get them at the tailgate. We will not be short.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I want to say, I promise, but I gotta I
- 24:24Speaker 1: still gotta you know. Make I gotta make clear with Alison.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I gotta make I gotta make clear with barstool first.
- 24:29Speaker 1: I almost promise, I had ninety percent promise. Should we
- 24:32Speaker 1: have a should we do an ad? Read? Yep? Who
- 24:36Speaker 1: is it? Who? Do we get better help? This is
- 24:40Speaker 1: perfect for us right now because we're all down bad.
- 24:42Speaker 1: We could use some help. Uh better help, betterhelp dot
- 24:45Speaker 1: com shout out the boys at better Help. The best
- 24:49Speaker 1: way to think about therapy is through a bunch of analogies.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Do am I supposed to read that? Yeah? Okay, I
- 24:55Speaker 1: didn't know if I was supposed to give it an okay, okay, okay, okay.
- 24:59Speaker 1: We get our cars tuned up and even bigger issues
- 25:01Speaker 1: down the road. Okay, let me say that one again.
- 25:04Speaker 1: We get our cars tuned up to prevent bigger issues
- 25:07Speaker 1: down the road. You saw this one coming. We get
- 25:10Speaker 1: annual checkups and go to the gym to maintain physical
- 25:12Speaker 1: wellness and prevent injury and disease. We do chores regularly,
- 25:15Speaker 1: some of us anyways, to avoid a giant mess of
- 25:19Speaker 1: a house and eventually cockroaches. Going to therapy is like
- 25:24Speaker 1: all of the above. It's routine maintenance for your mental
- 25:26Speaker 1: and emotional wellness to prevent bigger issues down the road.
- 25:31Speaker 1: We're we're having Spencer Leon, he didn't get ACL surgery.
- 25:34Speaker 1: But there's this good ACL analogy. And it's not because
- 25:36Speaker 1: fucking Taylor E. They're for the love of god, I'm
- 25:38Speaker 1: realizing this whole I'm digging. But I have one of
- 25:42Speaker 1: my business my business advisor, financial guy. He always talks
- 25:45Speaker 1: about like having like tough conversations, Like you want to
- 25:47Speaker 1: have tough conversations. It's like getting ACL surgery. If you
- 25:50Speaker 1: don't get surgery on this big injury, I shouldn't even
- 25:52Speaker 1: say ACL should just a big injury whatever, um making
- 25:56Speaker 1: a big deal. But ACL one, I don't even need to.
- 25:59Speaker 1: But you fixed the problem so that way you're not
- 26:01Speaker 1: dealing with them down the road. Just like the big
- 26:02Speaker 1: analogies we use in the beginning, I didn't even have
- 26:04Speaker 1: to go to that one. But therapy doesn't mean something's
- 26:07Speaker 1: wrong with you. It means you're investing in yourself to
- 26:09Speaker 1: keep your mind healthy. And Barstool Sports agrees they're offering
- 26:12Speaker 1: better Help services to their employees as an added benefit
- 26:15Speaker 1: to help take care of their overall well being. Better
- 26:18Speaker 1: Help is customized online therapy that offers video phone and
- 26:21Speaker 1: even live chat sessions with your therapists, so you don't
- 26:24Speaker 1: even have to see anyone on camera if you don't
- 26:26Speaker 1: want to. It's a much more affordable than in person therapy,
- 26:30Speaker 1: and you can start communicating with your therapists in under
- 26:32Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Why invest in everything else and not

- 26:53Speaker 1: He flew in from Iowa. He's a an Iowa wrestler.
- 26:58Speaker 1: He's making his way to the Mount rushmore of wrestling.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like there's a lot of
- 27:02Speaker 1: talks out there, a lot of stories out there of
- 27:04Speaker 1: the boy becoming one of the best wrestlers of all
- 27:06Speaker 1: time if he locks in the forts Natty going in
- 27:09Speaker 1: after this year, saying he goes undefeated. I'm putting a
- 27:11Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the boys saying all that stuff.
- 27:14Speaker 1: But he is. Spencer Lee's a three time national champion.
- 27:17Speaker 1: He's went all three years, going for his fourth in
- 27:19Speaker 1: a row this year. A two time Dan Hodges Trophy winner.
- 27:22Speaker 1: And for those who are football fans and not wrestling fans,
- 27:25Speaker 1: that Dan Hodges' Trophy is just like the Heisman. So
- 27:27Speaker 1: he's a two time Heisman winner, already two time Big
- 27:30Speaker 1: Ten Wrestler of the Year, James E. Sullivan Award winner.
- 27:33Speaker 1: That's the best athlete in America? Was that this year?
- 27:36Speaker 1: I believe it was last year. Yeah, he's the kid
- 27:39Speaker 1: who he went viral for talking about tearing his ACL.
- 27:45Speaker 1: He tours ACL in the Big Ten Championship. Eight days
- 27:48Speaker 1: later won the national title in the NCAA's on a
- 27:51Speaker 1: torn ACL not fixed. He talks about it in this podcast.
- 27:54Speaker 1: He was in the facility like nine hours a day,
- 27:57Speaker 1: doing three three hour workouts. He's won thirty five straight matches,
- 28:01Speaker 1: outscoring his opponents four hundred and thirty two to just
- 28:05Speaker 1: forty two damn points. That is insane. He's seventy five
- 28:10Speaker 1: and five. What do he say he lost twice his
- 28:12Speaker 1: freshman or three times or sophomore year. Yeah, that's tough.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Seventy five and five fifteen and oh at NCAA championships.
- 28:21Speaker 1: But this is an awesome interview. You guys are going
- 28:23Speaker 1: to enjoy it. He's an I will wrestler. I know

- 29:03Speaker 1: you coming on the bus. Sorry if I get a
- 29:05Speaker 1: little I already feel too formal. All right, welcome to
- 29:09Speaker 1: the bus. You know, Oh, so your eligibility. I was
- 29:12Speaker 1: looking up your stuff and I was getting confused because
- 29:15Speaker 1: it looks like he's wrestled for four years, but he's
- 29:17Speaker 1: a three term very and now I know he's going
- 29:18Speaker 1: for a fourth so explain, explain, like, what the where
- 29:23Speaker 1: your eligibility is at?
- 29:24Speaker 3: Yeah, so the one year, I h, we competed the
- 29:28Speaker 3: entire season, and so we had our Big Ten tournament
- 29:31Speaker 3: and then the next week or two weeks there would
- 29:33Speaker 3: be nationals and four days four nationals. They canceled into
- 29:36Speaker 3: the tournament. So I did wrestle my fourth years, but
- 29:41Speaker 3: with the COVID happening, they actually just gave us all
- 29:45Speaker 3: another year if you weren't a senior ready. So I, oh,
- 29:48Speaker 3: so this this last year didn't count towards eligibility, So
- 29:50Speaker 3: I was technically a senior this year, but didn't counter
- 29:53Speaker 3: towards my eligibility. Like, so now I'm a super senior almost,
- 29:57Speaker 3: I'm a fifth year.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Ser Yeah, to be a nightmare again.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Yeah, one more year, Yeah, some more year.
- 30:01Speaker 1: That's why that's bad. Uh, that's bad research on my part,
- 30:05Speaker 1: knowing that the because the spring athletes got canceled because
- 30:08Speaker 1: baseball did. Yeah, you guys definitely did. Damn. Okay, that

- 30:46Speaker 1: not familiar with wrestling, the dude that we have on
- 30:49Speaker 1: the bus right now. Number one, he was the kid
- 30:51Speaker 1: who tore both of his acls and won the Natty
- 30:54Speaker 1: on two torn acls. Right, yeah, So we'll talk about that.
- 30:56Speaker 1: We'll get fired up. Trust me, we've got enough. The
- 30:59Speaker 1: boys will be can your ego enough? But the dude
- 31:03Speaker 1: is like, you're a three timer right going for your fourth,
- 31:07Speaker 1: which you would if if listen. I know, coach, what's
- 31:11Speaker 1: a coach you name? Coach Brand?
- 31:12Speaker 3: Yeah, coach Brands, Yeah, yeah.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Coach Brands. They've they're twins too, They're ferocious. I visited
- 31:19Speaker 1: there when I was getting recruited, and I'm sitting here
- 31:24Speaker 1: thinking in my mind, now I'm about to start talking about.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Myself, and says, I'd rather you talk about yourself.
- 31:31Speaker 1: So when we were going through the recruiting process, Cody,
- 31:33Speaker 1: my brother Cody, he was a senior national champion coming
- 31:35Speaker 1: out of high school. He's a stud, the boy Cody,
- 31:38Speaker 1: Cody was a stud. And we did this unofficial recruiting
- 31:42Speaker 1: trip where I went to Missoo, first Uh, Nebraska, and Iowa,
- 31:45Speaker 1: like all in the same week with my family and
- 31:47Speaker 1: all Missoo. All those three schools were also recruiting my
- 31:51Speaker 1: brother Cody because they knew that I wanted to go
- 31:53Speaker 1: to a school also Illinois. They knew I wanted to
- 31:55Speaker 1: go to a school to where Cody could also wrestle
- 31:57Speaker 1: there too. So when we went to Iowa, it was
- 31:59Speaker 1: after the Nebraska visit. Nebraska is just their facilities are insane.
- 32:04Speaker 1: And then I go to Iowa. I know their football
- 32:05Speaker 1: facilities are better now, George Kittle, I get it, they're
- 32:07Speaker 1: better now, But back then, it was like it wasn't
- 32:11Speaker 1: even close. It was black and white. Like I was like, yeah,
- 32:13Speaker 1: these guys have no shot. But I knew the wrestling
- 32:15Speaker 1: program obviously. I was like the greatest arguablyeve Nebraska, but
- 32:21Speaker 1: uh yeah, but we win. You know, I'm meeting the brothers,
- 32:25Speaker 1: the brands, dude, and uh dude, they're just fiery. Like
- 32:29Speaker 1: wrestling like is just a different It's just a different world.
- 32:33Speaker 1: You guys are all fucking crazy. Yeah, like what we
- 32:37Speaker 1: would uh we would have wrestling bouts at uh parties

- 32:44Speaker 1: you can speak on whatever you want to speak on.
- 32:46Speaker 1: But the football team, we'd have all the boys together,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and the football team would think that they could beat
- 32:52Speaker 1: the wrestlers. I'm sure you've dealt with your fair share
- 32:54Speaker 1: of guys who are heavy and you thinking they can
- 32:56Speaker 1: wrestle with you. And dudes would circle up outside in
- 33:00Speaker 1: the front lawn. We're at a house party, right, dudes
- 33:02Speaker 1: are We're circling up, putting the lights on the putting
- 33:05Speaker 1: the lights on the grass. People are circling up all
- 33:07Speaker 1: around to make a little ring. Football players would go

- 35:32Speaker 1: The other guy started it. Yeah, this one right here
- 35:37Speaker 1: just getting his as. I'll tell you what though, being
- 35:41Speaker 1: around the wrestling culture, wrestlers they want ship like this
- 35:48Speaker 1: when they go out.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, wrestlers. They're they're they're not looking for trouble,

- 36:03Speaker 3: of keep it going. And then because well, yeah, they
- 36:05Speaker 3: want you to mess with the wrestlers. Wrestlers, you know,
- 36:07Speaker 3: they know what they're capable of, and at the same time,
- 36:09Speaker 3: they also think they're even more capable of what they
- 36:11Speaker 3: really are.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Yeah, then you get a few of them together and
- 36:13Speaker 1: then you're kind of hyping. I don't know, he don't
- 36:15Speaker 1: know exactly like, no, he doesn't fucking know.
- 36:17Speaker 3: I feel like every wrestler is like little Man syns room.

- 44:33Speaker 3: he so I was at a great doctor and he
- 44:36Speaker 3: did an awesome job. But I ended up just freak
- 44:38Speaker 3: accident tearing it again in the NS away finals and
- 44:40Speaker 3: like the second period U finals.
- 44:42Speaker 1: And uh, I was like, and this was yours is
- 44:45Speaker 1: my sophomore year.
- 44:46Speaker 3: So when I won my second way, I tore it
- 44:47Speaker 3: in the second period just randomly. Like the guy who
- 44:50Speaker 3: was like Matt returning me like from I was standing
- 44:52Speaker 3: up and like pull me backwards, and then he just
- 44:54Speaker 3: gave up, and I was like, I was upsex I'm like,
- 44:57Speaker 3: I I got surgery, and he felt hundred percent wasn't
- 44:59Speaker 3: wearing a brave nothing boom, just tear it again. You know,
- 45:01Speaker 3: A year and two months after I have surgery. You know,
- 45:04Speaker 3: I've only been healthy for like four months really, you know,
- 45:07Speaker 3: you know how surgery goes. Day seals like you're healthy,
- 45:09Speaker 3: but like you really start feeling good after like ten months,
- 45:12Speaker 3: and so I'm like, I don't want to get surgery.
- 45:14Speaker 3: I was like, I'll just see how I do. And
- 45:15Speaker 3: I just kept wrestling with it, and I wore brace
- 45:17Speaker 3: all year and now it's pretty strong.
- 45:20Speaker 1: So that's so when you when you tore your a
- 45:23Speaker 1: sale in that sophomore match, were you up? Were you
- 45:25Speaker 1: winning or losing? At that point?
- 45:26Speaker 3: I was winning, Yeah, I was winning a I think
- 45:29Speaker 3: I was doing two zero, but he rode me out
- 45:32Speaker 3: and I got like a stall call. So I got
- 45:34Speaker 3: like a point for stalling because I made him. He
- 45:37Speaker 3: was stalling the first pier when I took him down,
- 45:39Speaker 3: and so I end up waiting a match I think
- 45:40Speaker 3: five zero in that match, and he chose neutral. I
- 45:43Speaker 3: took him down. So that was pretty.
- 45:45Speaker 1: JP and wrestling. Like you're gonna hear phrases like ride
- 45:47Speaker 1: me out. It's a wrestling phrase, So don't be fucking childish,
- 45:51Speaker 1: back there.
- 45:52Speaker 3: He's gonna make fun of me. I got.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Ride me out.
- 45:58Speaker 3: It relaxed, right.
- 46:00Speaker 1: So at any of these moments, like we've all obviously
- 46:04Speaker 1: seen a bunch of guys who tear a cls. I've
- 46:07Speaker 1: been fortunate. I've only told with PCL But was were
- 46:15Speaker 1: you just not battling pain like with the like I
- 46:18Speaker 1: don't know, Like I see some days they can't walk
- 46:20Speaker 1: right after. Sometimes there are gentle ones going and then
- 46:23Speaker 1: they don't feel till later. And I some guys walk
- 46:25Speaker 1: into surgery obviously they can't like play football, play their
- 46:30Speaker 1: sport and they get surgery to repair it. Like, are
- 46:32Speaker 1: you not experiencing pain like after you tear your a.
- 46:35Speaker 3: C L Well, yeah, there's there's I mean the pains
- 46:37Speaker 3: really from like the swelling and like you know, you're
- 46:40Speaker 3: exploding off of it early like just stuff like that.
- 46:42Speaker 3: So I mean there was more pain at the insulay turn,
- 46:45Speaker 3: but there would be like like like now like if
- 46:47Speaker 3: you wait like six months, right right, So, but I
- 46:49Speaker 3: mean it's not really the pain, it's more like you
- 46:51Speaker 3: can't do things like like if my buddies wanted to
- 46:53Speaker 3: go play like spike ball, I can't play spike ball
- 46:55Speaker 3: like I don't want to.
- 46:56Speaker 1: It's a good game.
- 46:57Speaker 3: Hurt myself, right, yeah, like the student stinks like so
- 46:59Speaker 3: it's like more like that, like there are things that
- 47:01Speaker 3: inhibit you, like like when I said in the interview, like, oh,
- 47:03Speaker 3: I can't shoot, I can't spur al, I can't you know,
- 47:05Speaker 3: I really couldn't do anything, like I was basically just
- 47:07Speaker 3: like walking at the guy like a like a robot
- 47:09Speaker 3: and was just trying to get my hands on him
- 47:10Speaker 3: so I could move him with my hands rather than
- 47:12Speaker 3: being able to explode, like I tackle the guy and
- 47:16Speaker 3: you get to it. Just like the way I wrestled,
- 47:19Speaker 3: I couldn't do it and it was just is and
- 47:21Speaker 3: I really couldn't because really messed me up. Was Yeah,
- 47:24Speaker 3: my right knee was good, felt good. But after you
- 47:26Speaker 3: hurt your left knee, you're doing everything again with your
- 47:28Speaker 3: right name my right niece. I hurt me again. So
- 47:30Speaker 3: I'm trying to just stay completely. My whole goal was
- 47:32Speaker 3: stay healthy. At the national tournament, I was just trying
- 47:33Speaker 3: to say as healthy as I could with a yeah
- 47:36Speaker 3: when they were.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Yeah, both with a torn a cl.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Well, my sport's a little different than football. I don't
- 47:41Speaker 3: have to cut or explode or run, you know for
- 47:43Speaker 3: sure and stayed that you.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Know, yeah for sure, But it's still like the way
- 47:48Speaker 1: you have to plant and do everything else, Like all
- 47:50Speaker 1: it takes is for your shoe to get caught a
- 47:52Speaker 1: little bit on the mat to damage it even more,
- 47:54Speaker 1: like kind of put you out. But I'm like so
- 47:56Speaker 1: curious about even the pain the pain factor too. Obviously, Yeah,
- 47:59Speaker 1: you're you're a tough SLB. Yeah, but like I mean,
- 48:03Speaker 1: eight days after tearing an a cl right, yeah, yeah,
- 48:10Speaker 1: I am a bad Uh. The first one when you
- 48:12Speaker 1: toured at the NCAA tournament, obviously, I was a championship,
- 48:15Speaker 1: so you won, so it's like, hey, it's all good
- 48:16Speaker 1: at least. Yeah, when we got out of it, were
- 48:18Speaker 1: you feeling more pain after that one than you were
- 48:20Speaker 1: this one?
- 48:22Speaker 3: I would definitely say, my this this one hurt more
- 48:24Speaker 3: than the one two years ago, I think. But the
- 48:26Speaker 3: one two years ago I already had sergery on, I
- 48:28Speaker 3: had a graphing it. I was doing physical therapy for
- 48:30Speaker 3: like three years, you know. You know, I feel like
- 48:32Speaker 3: after I tore that one again, I still had like
- 48:34Speaker 3: a lot of like stuff in my knee keeping it strong.
- 48:37Speaker 3: So if I mean I was able to do like
- 48:39Speaker 3: I mean, my my my trainers and my my doctors,
- 48:42Speaker 3: they were always kind of like making fun of me
- 48:44Speaker 3: because as soon as I tear it, I they do
- 48:46Speaker 3: all the test like whether or not you have an
- 48:48Speaker 3: ACL tearing up without an MRI. And I could do everything.
- 48:50Speaker 3: I could you know, one one legged squad. I could explode,
- 48:53Speaker 3: I could jump, I could cut you know.
- 48:54Speaker 1: But yeah, but.
- 48:55Speaker 3: The instance was as soon as like it did, it
- 48:57Speaker 3: did give out. Like the instance like if you posted wrong, boom,
- 49:00Speaker 3: like I would just fall in the ground and you
- 49:01Speaker 3: know that that would hurt like crazy. Then mine you
- 49:03Speaker 3: would swollow up and then you're getting it drained and
- 49:05Speaker 3: you're icing it again. You're going you know, you don't
- 49:07Speaker 3: want to go backwards. So like it was really I mean,
- 49:09Speaker 3: it was a long process. I mean, surgery is a
- 49:11Speaker 3: long time. Not having surgery still a long process to you.
- 49:16Speaker 1: So uh and then the eight day one when you
- 49:18Speaker 1: had eight days, like what protocols were you kind of
- 49:20Speaker 1: doing to kind of keep yourself out of the weeds
- 49:22Speaker 1: of like it acting up. Oh, because you can kind
- 49:25Speaker 1: of like you probably want to train a little bit
- 49:27Speaker 1: for the NC double as, but at the same time,
- 49:29Speaker 1: you're probably kind of in shape. I guess, yeah, it's
- 49:31Speaker 1: like what are you doing in those eight days to
- 49:34Speaker 1: keep swelling down and making sure you're ready to go?
- 49:37Speaker 1: Like for the freaking national tournament.
- 49:38Speaker 3: I I had, those were eight days were pretty much
- 49:41Speaker 3: like living hell to be honest. I mean I was
- 49:43Speaker 3: doing three three hour workouts a day basically still every day. Well,
- 49:48Speaker 3: my workouts, I couldn't wrestle, so I would have to
- 49:50Speaker 3: go in and I do my physical therapy would be
- 49:53Speaker 3: like to strengthen my quad. It be flexing my quad,
- 49:54Speaker 3: be doing like stem. I'd be doing you know, exercises
- 49:57Speaker 3: where I'm firing my quada. Just want to fire your quad,
- 50:00Speaker 3: you know, because that's keeping the swelling out and you're
- 50:01Speaker 3: keeping the muscles from atrophy, because once swelling starts, atro
- 50:05Speaker 3: feed after like twelve hours, actually starts happening to lose muscle.
- 50:08Speaker 3: That's bad for the Obviously you don't want to lose muscle.
- 50:10Speaker 3: So I mean I'll be doing like physical therapy for
- 50:12Speaker 3: like an hour and a half because I had warmed
- 50:13Speaker 3: like three minutes on a bike, and then I'd have
- 50:14Speaker 3: to you know, I'd do like jumps and just flex
- 50:17Speaker 3: my quad and like, and then I'd have to do
- 50:19Speaker 3: my workout. The coaches then put me through an hour
- 50:21Speaker 3: and a half workout so I could keep my in shape,
- 50:23Speaker 3: keep you know, and then I have to you know,
- 50:25Speaker 3: I'd go home and I basically I had like an
- 50:27Speaker 3: hour and a half to sleep, and I'd sleep and
- 50:29Speaker 3: I'd go back in and then i'd hour half a
- 50:31Speaker 3: therapy into another hour and a half of a workout.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Then I have to go in at night for like
- 50:36Speaker 3: my weight way to keep my weight down, because my
- 50:39Speaker 3: weight's always really good. I'm a big guy at my
- 50:40Speaker 3: weight class. But for me, it was really hard because
- 50:44Speaker 3: you go from wrestling every day and being able to
- 50:46Speaker 3: run because I ran a lot. I loved running. That
- 50:48Speaker 3: was like my way to like keep my weight down,
- 50:50Speaker 3: keeping shape, And now I can't run. Yeah, I could
- 50:52Speaker 3: every step hurt to run. I couldn't run a treadmill
- 50:54Speaker 3: to save my life. So now I have to bike
- 50:56Speaker 3: and I have to like aerodyne, and I have to
- 50:59Speaker 3: for an hour and half and then I half, you know,
- 51:01Speaker 3: I couldn't even jump ro but so like I was
- 51:03Speaker 3: you know, arm road machines, everything whatever it could do
- 51:06Speaker 3: to like another hour and a half and then I
- 51:07Speaker 3: have to do physical theory beginning with ice in my knee
- 51:09Speaker 3: and stem and quad every day for like eight days straight,
- 51:12Speaker 3: like I was. I literally lived in Carverhock Arena like
- 51:15Speaker 3: for like almost nine hours a day, just trying to
- 51:17Speaker 3: keep my knee from swelling and to keep in shape
- 51:20Speaker 3: and to keep my weight down. Like it was just constant, like,
- 51:22Speaker 3: and my teammates are they're they're they're like getting ready
- 51:25Speaker 3: for Nash termas, so they're they're tapering, they're not coming
- 51:27Speaker 3: in as much, they're they're staying off the mat there.
- 51:30Speaker 3: So I'm in there nine hours a day and they're
- 51:32Speaker 3: in there for like an hour and a half two
- 51:33Speaker 3: hours a day. So like it was just like they
- 51:35Speaker 3: never saw that thing because I was always in at
- 51:37Speaker 3: different times than everyone else because of COVID, right and everything.
- 51:39Speaker 3: So I was the only guy, one of the two
- 51:42Speaker 3: guys in my team who didn't get COVID, So I
- 51:45Speaker 3: was actually trained different times everyone else because they were
- 51:47Speaker 3: trying not so I wouldn't get COVID. That's the only
- 51:49Speaker 3: way you lose, right, So I was just like it
- 51:50Speaker 3: was just like you're in it. Yeah, I didn't have
- 51:53Speaker 3: time to do school, like it was either sleep or
- 51:55Speaker 3: do homework, and I was I was homework. It was
- 51:59Speaker 3: I was begging my teachers like hey, just let me
- 52:01Speaker 3: do my homework late, like please.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Yeah, a student athlete, I'm not trying to do homework.
- 52:07Speaker 1: We're trying to win championship.
- 52:08Speaker 3: School supported too, that right, he school's important support everybody. Yep, yeah,
- 52:16Speaker 3: that's first first thing.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Bro, Yay, that's nuts man. Then you get to the tournament, right,
- 52:23Speaker 1: And so are you nervous about your first match?
- 52:25Speaker 3: I hadn't rustled, right, That's why I don't even know
- 52:27Speaker 3: how my knee felt, right.
- 52:29Speaker 1: So were you nervous like going into your first match?
- 52:32Speaker 1: I don't know how this thing's gonna wrap because again
- 52:34Speaker 1: this isn't You don't have the graph, you don't have
- 52:36Speaker 1: the stuff that you rehabbed on your other a c
- 52:37Speaker 1: L like this is a new a CL, like nothing's
- 52:39Speaker 1: happened to that lake. So were you nervous going into
- 52:43Speaker 1: like the national tournament thinking like yeah.
- 52:45Speaker 3: So they had to get me a brace, so they
- 52:47Speaker 3: get me fitted and then the brace came in like
- 52:48Speaker 3: two days before nationals. So I never wore the brace
- 52:50Speaker 3: before on my left knees. So and then you tape.
- 52:52Speaker 3: I always tape my knee. Then I put a brace on,
- 52:54Speaker 3: but then it's your knees so stiff from the tape
- 52:56Speaker 3: and the brace being so tight, I can't I call
- 52:58Speaker 3: bet my legs like here like it was like so
- 53:01Speaker 3: I can't even like I couldn't really do anything with it.
- 53:03Speaker 3: So I'm trying to like drill before like my match,
- 53:06Speaker 3: to see how it felt, and I could like barely drill,
- 53:09Speaker 3: and like then my knee would like give out one time,
- 53:11Speaker 3: like before you know, money would give out. So then
- 53:12Speaker 3: we're trying to make sure it's not swelling. And and
- 53:14Speaker 3: my coach is like, okay, you're good, you'll be fine,
- 53:16Speaker 3: you'll be fine. We'll just warm you up like on
- 53:18Speaker 3: a bike. So I'm warm on a bike, and then
- 53:20Speaker 3: take my knee, put in the brace on. Then I'm
- 53:21Speaker 3: going out to wrestle, you know, And I'm like, I
- 53:23Speaker 3: have no idea what's gonna happen. So I got out
- 53:24Speaker 3: there to wrestle, and I ended up getting a quick takedown.
- 53:27Speaker 3: I turned the guy and I got off the mac quick.
- 53:28Speaker 3: I'm like, ohyah, that's good. That that's the play, and
- 53:30Speaker 3: that's what we want to do.
- 53:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 53:32Speaker 3: Yeah, So I got off the mask fast like could.
- 53:33Speaker 3: That was the That's what I wanted to do. But
- 53:35Speaker 3: that didn't end up happening to the rest of the tournament.
- 53:36Speaker 3: All my matches went the full distance after that, so
- 53:38Speaker 3: I I had to learn how to.
- 53:40Speaker 1: Were you ever in pain when all this stuff is happening.
- 53:42Speaker 3: I mean, I mean during the match, you know how
- 53:44Speaker 3: it is adrenaline Like I was fine, but like my
- 53:46Speaker 3: more and more problem was like I didn't have the
- 53:48Speaker 3: ability to do things like a guy. I remember I
- 53:50Speaker 3: got taken down like twice by a kid in the
- 53:52Speaker 3: second round, and both times I don't even remember how
- 53:55Speaker 3: I even got scored on. I'm like, I'm just like wrestling.
- 53:57Speaker 3: I'm wrestling, and he like grabbed my ankle and pulled out.
- 53:59Speaker 3: Next thing, I'm on my stomach, like my knee just
- 54:01Speaker 3: like I couldn't do it, Like I just fell over.
- 54:03Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, shoot the top of me, and I'm
- 54:05Speaker 3: like trying to get away. I'm like, what the heck
- 54:07Speaker 3: just happened. It's just like there are things that happened,
- 54:09Speaker 3: and then you come off the mat and then you know,
- 54:10Speaker 3: after pulling your knee out and your knee hurts. Then
- 54:12Speaker 3: you're going back home, you're doing the stem, you're doing
- 54:14Speaker 3: the ice, still flexing. Then you gotta make the weight
- 54:16Speaker 3: and you still got to compete the next day. So
- 54:18Speaker 3: it's like I was constantly like just doing these things,
- 54:21Speaker 3: and it's just like no one sees that. They just
- 54:22Speaker 3: see the the interview, right like.
- 54:24Speaker 1: Right, yeah, no, excuse sound just.
- 54:31Speaker 3: Just did yeah no, but there's always more to it.
- 54:34Speaker 2: So ye.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Apologize. Yeah my bed is it good though? Okay? All right, cool,
- 54:44Speaker 1: so you win. Now what's the thought process? This is
- 54:50Speaker 1: the same thing thinking I don't want to have surgery
- 54:52Speaker 1: on this a cl like why haven't why why hadn't
- 54:55Speaker 1: you wanted to fix this knee?
- 54:57Speaker 3: I just you know, I I said, you know, my
- 54:59Speaker 3: right knee feel was good. So if I can ever
- 55:02Speaker 3: get to that point, you know, so.
- 55:04Speaker 1: You're you you're writing feels good right now? Yeah, and
- 55:07Speaker 1: there's a toy. You don't have a CLS in either, like.
- 55:08Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I could. I can even people don't believe me,
- 55:10Speaker 3: Like I remember, like ESPN posted that and I don't
- 55:13Speaker 3: really like reading comments because people are mean, right, So
- 55:15Speaker 3: I remember I love that? So yeah, there no that
- 55:19Speaker 3: God everyone knows everything right. So I remember clicking on
- 55:21Speaker 3: a couple just like I was like, oh, you know,
- 55:23Speaker 3: I had a lot. I kind of I didn't even
- 55:24Speaker 3: know ESPN. I never been a ESPN before. You wrestlers
- 55:26Speaker 3: aren't usally on ESPN. I was like, okay, this might
- 55:28Speaker 3: be kind of cool. I'm reading the comments. This guy's
- 55:30Speaker 3: faking it. No way, he's lying. I'm like, I'm like,
- 55:32Speaker 3: I'll post my my my, I'll screenshot my medical like no,
- 55:37Speaker 3: he like slapped hair noise or whatever. You know, I
- 55:39Speaker 3: don't even know the term or anything, but I love.
- 55:42Speaker 1: That, like the innocence and genuine of just like no,
- 55:46Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I wanted to read the comments.
- 55:47Speaker 1: I thought it was cool being an ESPN. But I
- 55:48Speaker 1: looked and people are mean something. I probably shouldn't read
- 55:50Speaker 1: this thing.
- 55:51Speaker 3: I was like, that's okay. I mean I made on ESPN.
- 55:54Speaker 3: I'm happy.
- 55:54Speaker 1: You know. That's the mind. That's the mind we all need. Like, yeah, well,
- 55:57Speaker 1: let's just not even dive into this at the bottom fears. No,
- 56:03Speaker 1: I'm not on Twitter a whole lot. No, never, never,
- 56:08Speaker 1: I try to stay off there. I try to narrow vision,
- 56:10Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 56:11Speaker 3: Focus?
- 56:12Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, like knowing you have two torn A c
- 56:16Speaker 1: ls right now, and you're going to do this year.
- 56:18Speaker 1: You're not worried at all because apparently you feel good.
- 56:22Speaker 1: What are your goals? Like? What are you You're obviously
- 56:24Speaker 1: going for a fourth you would be one of how
- 56:25Speaker 1: many to have for of all time? Yeah? Last, and
- 56:29Speaker 1: that's your company with one of your own Gable right.
- 56:33Speaker 3: Uh no, Gable you didn't win.
- 56:34Speaker 1: For I listened to him on Joe Rogan recently. He
- 56:38Speaker 1: was awesome. I loved listening my dad like growing up
- 56:41Speaker 1: with the wrestling my dad. That was back when you
- 56:43Speaker 1: had to buy all the VCR tapes. Yeah, you had
- 56:47Speaker 1: to watch. But who is it?
- 56:49Speaker 3: Kyle Sanderson, Keile Sanderson, Pat Smith, Logan Steeber, and Kyle
- 56:53Speaker 3: dak are the four four timers.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're probably looking to be the fifth trying.
- 56:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta I got a lot of you know,
- 57:00Speaker 3: I gotta get there.
- 57:00Speaker 1: So so with because I also read something to where
- 57:03Speaker 1: you were gonna do something with the Olympic team this year.
- 57:07Speaker 1: Well yeah, so how does that work with wrestling? Because obviously,
- 57:10Speaker 1: if say any other sport, it's balancing that you're a
- 57:15Speaker 1: college athlete, but then you also get an opportunity to
- 57:17Speaker 1: be with the Olympic team. Explain how those seasons kind
- 57:19Speaker 1: of work for you.
- 57:20Speaker 3: Yeah, so usually the Olympic Trials or World Trials or
- 57:23Speaker 3: right after the collegiate season usually you know April or
- 57:27Speaker 3: you know May. So yeah, so I I that was
- 57:31Speaker 3: one of the reasons why I didn't immediately have surgery,
- 57:33Speaker 3: was I wanted to make Olympic team. I would have
- 57:35Speaker 3: probably been the second seed at the trials, second or
- 57:38Speaker 3: third seed.
- 57:39Speaker 1: I was.
- 57:39Speaker 3: I was right top three because the one seed was
- 57:42Speaker 3: the guy who's been on the team the previous years,
- 57:45Speaker 3: and the two seed would have either been me or
- 57:48Speaker 3: you know, another guy, So it would depended on how
- 57:51Speaker 3: the seeding meeting would have gone. So I was right there.
- 57:54Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I I think I'm you know,
- 57:56Speaker 3: obviously you got to think you're the best wrestler in
- 57:58Speaker 3: the world at all times.
- 57:58Speaker 1: You can't.
- 57:59Speaker 3: You know, if you're saying you're not, then you're obviously
- 58:01Speaker 3: lying yourself. Yeah, exactly, and you're in the wrong sport
- 58:04Speaker 3: in my opinions. So it's individual sports, you versus on
- 58:07Speaker 3: another guy. So I mean, I was gonna go and uh,
- 58:10Speaker 3: you know, last second, we made a decision not too.
- 58:12Speaker 5: I was.
- 58:12Speaker 3: I was pretty beat up after Nationals. I I I
- 58:15Speaker 3: pretty much hurt everything in my knee without hurting everything
- 58:17Speaker 3: in my knee, if that makes sense.
- 58:19Speaker 1: So you basically strained everything everything else.
- 58:22Speaker 3: Yeah, Fortunately you didn't didn't care anything. Yeah, So I
- 58:26Speaker 3: was like, I want to wrestle, and the coaches like,
- 58:28Speaker 3: if it's your choice ultimately, you know, so you don't
- 58:31Speaker 3: want to regret anything. And end of the day, I'm like,
- 58:33Speaker 3: I don't even if I could wrestle the mat right now.
- 58:35Speaker 3: And I but I wanted to. I wanted to. I
- 58:37Speaker 3: was like, I can do this. I can you know.
- 58:38Speaker 3: I'm gonna you know, I'm not gonna make you know.
- 58:40Speaker 3: I just went viral for some stupid no excuses, right,
- 58:42Speaker 3: and I'm gonna make you know. I got a lot
- 58:44Speaker 3: of crap for not I got a lot of crap
- 58:45Speaker 3: for not going on trial. But exactly exactly, That's why
- 58:50Speaker 3: I was like, ah, like you know I cut, but.
- 58:55Speaker 1: No doubt, broy I.
- 58:58Speaker 3: I I just don't know how it would have gone.
- 59:02Speaker 1: You don't want to damage your knee more than yeah,
- 59:04Speaker 1: if you're feeling pain, like you just got to know
- 59:07Speaker 1: when Hey, today's not the day this sucks.
- 59:09Speaker 3: The Olympics for every four years, and you know, I mean
- 59:14Speaker 3: I watched and you have a buddy from Japan who
- 59:16Speaker 3: won Olympics. We said we would go to it was
- 59:18Speaker 3: in Tokyo, so we'd be there together, you know what
- 59:20Speaker 3: kind of thing. So, son of a gunments you went
- 59:22Speaker 3: and won it without me.
- 59:23Speaker 1: You know, you gotta wait for more?
- 59:25Speaker 3: Yeah, well nice? What's nice with COVID? I guess it's
- 59:28Speaker 3: only twenty twenty four for three years and it's in Paris,
- 59:30Speaker 3: so Paris is super cool?
- 59:32Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so you get done with you know,
- 59:35Speaker 1: you get done with the n C Double a's and
- 59:37Speaker 1: immediately because the difference with Olympics and what you see
- 59:39Speaker 1: and on n C dublas for everybody watching and listening
- 59:42Speaker 1: is in the NC double as it's folk style. When
- 59:44Speaker 1: you get in the Olympics, you go into freestyle, you
- 59:46Speaker 1: go into this new kind of season. Yeah. Are you
- 59:49Speaker 1: also doing freestyle tournaments and Greco tournament? Is there Greco
- 59:52Speaker 1: in the Olympics?
- 59:53Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 59:54Speaker 1: Are you doing these tournaments while also in the n
- 59:56Speaker 1: C Double A season or does the do those seasons
- 59:58Speaker 1: just happen immediately after the n C A over? Yeah?
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: Well, I mean, folks on freestyle are pretty similar like
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: on your on your feet, you know, as you know,
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: like when you guys are neutral. I mean, maybe people
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: don't understand what I'm talking about, but basically they're they're
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: very similar. Yeah, they're very similar. Like the styles, they're
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: just rule changes, that's all I would say. They're just
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: different rules, different scoring a little bit, you know, But
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: if you know anything about folks style, you'll you'll be
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: pretty good with freestyle, just like there's some certain things
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: that change. But we go right into freestyle right after season,
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: and we you know, our goal is make world in
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: the big teams, you know, when we go to Iowa
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: was Tom Tom Brands always says world Olympic and national titles.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: That's what we're training for, and that's so yeah, so
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: that's that's the plans, the goal, and yeah, we go
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: into it, and then you know, the world change of
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: the Olympics usually year and like I would say, like
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: August usually, so then right goes right into college season
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: right after.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: So it shows that you guys go all year round. Yeah,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: there's no season of wrestling, and then you're kind of
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: in the off season like you're all year round. Ye
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, the World's Worlds.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: Every two years, so World Championship every year, and then
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: every fourth year is the Olympics.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: So yeah, so did you go Did you do compete
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: in the world this year?
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: No? So this year, if you're an Olympic medalist at
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: your weight, you get to take the World team spot
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: of this year. So the guy my weight ended up
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: taking Olympic bronze, so he took the week. He's the
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: world He'll be the World team member next month as well.
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: So got or else I would have tried to compete
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: for the World team spot.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: How would you've gotten to compete if he wouldn't have
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: medaled at the Olympics.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have. He would have probably been in
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: the either in the summis or the finals at the trials,
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: and then I would have had to go in.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: So you don't even get a shot to win Worlds
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: this year?
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: No, I don't.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Is that brutal?
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it sucks if you miss Olympics and
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: then you missed the Worlds. Yeah, you know, and that's
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: your goal. But I mean it's fine. You know, I'm
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: still young. I'm only twenty two, and yeah, I mean
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: I'll be twenty three next month, so I'm getting not old,
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: but like for college, I'm getting pretty over a college kid.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: And then you know, I got five five to ten
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: more years maybe competing internationally.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: So yeah, you think, how long do you want to wrestle?
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: Gives out?
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: So you want to go into Hey, you can't even
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: walk like there's.

- 1:03:59Speaker 1: having any doubt? Is this something you've always kind of
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: had or do you feel like there's been times throughout
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: your career and your journey since being a little kid,
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: just being a little pup, like growing up and just
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: like kind of cultivating this mindset of I am the best,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, you've never are you
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: are you saying like since you've been in college at Iowa,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: even as a young freshman, because there's obviously beasts like
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: all across the board, You've never thought like, I'm like
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: this dude, like he's he's better than me. But you know,
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: I got a little bit of a shot here or there.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: Uh So I would say I was always different. I've
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: never asked someone for their autograph. I've never asked one
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: for a picture.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Saying he just did out there with me. So it's
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: just kidd.
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: Totally my first time, first time we'll talk to the
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: first time. No, it's it's just because I uh, if
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: I saw someone in the rusting community that was like
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: Worl Olympic champ and they asked, you know, if everyone's
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: getting their autograph, I would say, I'm gonna better than
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: him one day, So I don't want his autograph, He's
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: gonna want mine. That's kind of what Even when I
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: was a little kid, I always thought like that. So
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: I I never thought that there was anyone better than me.
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: Ever when I wrestled in my entire life, ever, so
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: I just.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: Fact that you're a three timer. I'm just like, I'm
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: kind of an all But if you hadn't wont anything
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: about you, this dude's a fucking sich. But you know
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: what I mean. Okay, he's a young kid, right, and
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: you see, like Jordan Burrows, you wouldn't want his autograph.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: No, not at all.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: I would.
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: I'd rather I'd rather be on the team with him
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: and be a teammate.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: You know, have you medjored. Yeah, he's a good.
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Dude, awesome guy. Yeah, I'd rather be teammates.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: So and so this is something that's just always been
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: a part of you.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never I've never I've never understood autographs. So
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: whenever I was first asked to sign an autograph, when I
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, thirteen or something and pa,
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: little kids, you know you want a state title? They
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: ask you, I was like, why you want my autograph?
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: Doesn't make any sense to me, just just a signature.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: So like when I see that stuff, it just kind
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: of makes me laugh.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: Even today, I'm like people with nil you know, people
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: were like, oh, you know, I'll pay you to give
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: me autograph, And I'm like, now I'll just give it
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: to you, like, I just don't think it's really worth anything.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Oh that's where that's where you're boys got to come in. Yeah,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: well I don't know how much he wants to be
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: on No.
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, we don't worry.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: He's talking, he said, no, no, no, no, he's talk here
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: thinking if he wasn't sitting here like, I'm just gonna
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: have to from that one, I'll be your guy.
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: No, but that's not that's that's just how I'm just saying,
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: that's how my brain works. Yeah, I totally understand that,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: like what it is and how it works and everything,
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: but I just like, don't my brain doesn't compute that
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: because I'm like, why wouldn't you just want to be
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: you know, better than What about no doubt?
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: I said, the autographing, But what about doubt? How have
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: you dealt with doubt throughout your career? Well?
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: I think that uh, you know, I think doubt creeps
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: in on everybody. But the biggest thing is, you know,
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: what I've learned being in college because I never I
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: think I was almost too confident in high school, Like
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: I really thought that I would win the Olympics when
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: I was like seventeen, you know, and you know I
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: could wrestle with like our Olympian I was, our Olympians
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: trained partner, Dan Dennis. He was He's awesome, He's he's
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: our region he's our regional training center coach. So he's
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: Olympian twenty sixteen. So I knew I could wrestle with him.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: I knew that like where I was, but you know
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: I was then I got to college and you kind
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: of like open your eyes. The guys are really good
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: and people are proving and and you know, I was like, wow,
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: can I do this? Yeah, And it's like coaches there,
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: there's their job to kind of like reiterate the fact
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: that like, yeah, you can do this and like so
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: like they really helped me like believe in myself to
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: get to that next level because I always just thought
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: that one day I'd be the champ. You know, like
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: it's just gonna happen, right right, because I was like
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the best, like and and uh, you know,
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: they're like Spencer, it's really hard to win the Olympics, Like,
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: but you can do it, you know if you just
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: keep being positive, because like I'm always super negative. Like
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: if I even gets scored on like two or three
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: times in practice. Ever, like even one time, Like I'm
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: I used to like freak out and get upset and
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: get mad, like why is he scoring on me? Shouldn't
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: score on me? You know, and like hey, this guy
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: wants to win too, Spencer, like, you just need to
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: keep focusing on yourself, keep positive and keep wrestling. Just
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: use that to fuel yourself, right, So like I just
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: you know, you get more mature and you learn, so
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: it's kind of like no doubt. Just be positive and
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: just keep going as hard as you can.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: So were you one of those kids when you lost
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: when you were younger, you would you would kind of
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: run off and like pout for two hours at a time.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Well I wouldn't so wicked, So like Cody, he would
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: he would lose, but when he lost, he was like
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: he you know, he was just like a spoiled brat
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: for like the next two hours, like pouting and crying
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: and like throwing stuff and everything like that.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: So maybe you know, I, well I totally understand that,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: like for sure, Like I I was never like the
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: crying two hours spoiled brat, but for for five minutes,
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: for five minutes, you don't go near me, you know,
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: even in college. I mean I've lost five times in college,
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: so I've lost a lot of times and the end,
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: and weren't they all as a freshman? No, I lost
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: three as a freshman or two as a freshman. Three
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: is sophomore and I haven't lost some then, and and
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: I like it's like you can't be near me, Like
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: my my dad, remember my dad warning Tom Terry like hey,
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: if God forbid, if he ever loses a match, like
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: he's like, just just know that he will be fine
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: after like five minutes. But if you go to him
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: during those five minutes, you're gonna hear things you don't
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: want to hear, right, And like so I did end
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: up losing, and like I I mean, I'm not even
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: gonna tell the story because I don't want people to
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: hear hear it. To be honest with you, Yeah, well
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: I've said some crazy stuff to Tom after I lost,
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: you know, like like even like tell hi, I'm gonna
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: quit or like you know, just like cause like my
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: brain my brain's like how like what is this? Like
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: why am I going through this? Like what is this?
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: You know it's my because I will never ever blame
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: anyone else for a loss, like I feel like I
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: get I'm so hard after a loss on myself. It's
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: like I suck. I should have done this, I should
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: have done that. You know, you never want to say
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: you should have, could have, would have? You know you
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: never want to ever have doubt, Like you never want that.
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: It's like I'm like hard, Like I'm like, I'm the worst.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: I should just hang up my shoes now, I should
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: just retire. Like I'm like, you know, but I'm not, like,
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: you know, you know your fault. You should have this,
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: you should that. It's always like how could I have
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: been better? You know? Then I after like five minutes,
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: I'm like I'm sorry, Like let's get it's what's next?
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: What's next? Best thing?
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: Because I've lost. I didn't win a Big ten title
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: till my like my junior year of college, you know,
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: and I was two time national champ and I never
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: won Big ten's, you know, and uh, it's like what's next?
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: Next?
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: Best thing? Was always nationals.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: Did you ever feel like when you lost in those
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Big tens that it was gonna carry over? Like you
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: had like doubt crept in on those guys who would
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: beat you.
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: I mean I would that you.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Were like ready to get to the NC Douce because
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: you're like, I.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Know exactly what. I haven't seen anything, Like they haven't
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: seen me at my best yet they have. That's how
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: I always thought. And but what always like blew my
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: mind was I would like be number one in the
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: country and i'd you know, go to Big tens and
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: I had to get upset and like the fans would
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: be like he's washed, He's gonna lose, Like so he's
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: gonna lose at National's. Like hey, seriously, I people say
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: crazy stuff like I remember, like I used to get
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: like like I don't know, like upwards of like twenty
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: dms the day people tell me that I suck when
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: like I lost in the Big ten finals the second time,
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: you know, and they're just like you suck. You're gonna
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: lose again, like your career is doomed. Like I'm just
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: like why do people like do that?
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: I should just be like I want to like talk
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: to him, like, hey, you uka like something happened.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: To you, Like they're definitely projecting.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: Something, yeah, like is there something to go on in
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: your family life or something.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: That being in some eight nineteen twenty year olds.
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: Yeah, like you're washed, Like no, basically harder on me
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: than myself. And then my coaches know that, so they know,
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: they know, they know if I, you know, lose, give
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: me some space and I always come back. I'll always
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: be fine.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: What's next?
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: How can I be better?
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: You know, if you ever went back at a DM
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: or I.
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: I I would, I would just delete them. Just there's
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: no point you're getting You're giving them what they want.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: That was my problem. I knew, I knew I wanted
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: to say something, but you can't, you know, because these guys,
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: they have the power. They can screenshot it and they
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: can post it. You know, if you say something mean, like,
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: you're the bad guy at that point, you know, if
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: you're you know, you gotta be the bigger man and
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: not do that.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: So yeah, sometimes I like to be the smaller man.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: I don't blame you man a little bit more.
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: See, but you're you're you're funny though, you take it,
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: you take it funny.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: I appreciate that you make it. You make it. It's
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: been a lot of it's been a lot of work. Yeah,
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: there was a what are you laughing at? JPN? But
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: the doubt and the like the beginning, like in your
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: early days, especially like when you get to a collegiate sport,
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: like you're you're starting to learn about how much fans
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: care because you're not in high school just dominating anymore, right,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Like how much people care, how much they're like judging you,
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: Like how just opinionated everybody is, and that you feel
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: like you're under this microscope and you only think about
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: your own bullshit, right, So you never realize that pretty
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: much every player on the team or every teammate you have,
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: is going through something similar and everybody kind of deals
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: with the same stuff. So that's what I meant by that, JP,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about how you go back
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: to grind. Grind, I'm talking about back in the day,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: like when shit did with kind of like you're just
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: like you're like pissed off, you want to fight them.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Now you just realize you can have fun with it.
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: Spencer, going back to like high school and growing up,
- 1:12:46Speaker 5: did you play other sports that were more team oriented
- 1:12:50Speaker 5: or was it always just wrestling?
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: Well, I played soccer is probably my next favorite sport.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: On a cross country I delivered to football when I
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: was younger. I mean I was. I've been the size
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: since I was eleven, So five 't three, you know,
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty pounds and I was eleven. I'm
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: like one thirty now.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Damn it.
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I played some football. I played some football. I
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: just wasn't very big.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: So I would love to see you in your uni
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: as a kid, like with the helmet on, just oversize.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: He's like tipping over.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: So funny. Uh yeah, but I loved I loved other sports.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: Why did you start going wrestling only?
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: Well, so in eighth grade, I made the so we
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: had we have age group world teams and World Championships.
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: So I made the kid that world team at fourteen
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: years old. And I went over to World Championships and
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: it was in it was rendering, Serbia, and I ended
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: up losing two matches there and I was winning the
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: match both times, and I kind of just like I
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: never really had to, like I always kind of killed
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: everyone in freestyle in America. Like those are my first
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: two losses. I think I've only lost three. Yeah, I've
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: lost three times in freestyle in my life. And those
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: two two losses when I was fourteen, and I didn't
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: really know what to do. I was like, I didn't.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: I thought I would just kill everybody at the World Championships,
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: you know I really seriously, that's just kind of what
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: I thought. And then I was I was being them
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: pretty good, but I ended up like kind of like
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: falling off and they kind of came back both the matches,
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: and so I was like, I can't be doing other sports,
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: Like if I want to be a world champion the
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: best of this, I have to only do wrestling. I
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: can't put my time to other aches, you know, other baskets.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: And I so I was like, I dad was like
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: that I will never have that feeling again, like I
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: will win worlds next year, you know.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: So just what a savage like, you know, being so
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: like obsessed with the sport, especially like wrestling like it
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: is wrestling ever just you like don't want to do
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: it for a certain period of time, or you just
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: love it so much and want to do it so
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: often that you're always ready.
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: To fucking I think that's what makes someone like manic
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: is when the sport never gets old. You know, it's
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: always like how can I be better in this position,
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: or how can I be in better shape? How can
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: I help someone else, even like I just I always
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: just want to be involved in the sports somehow. But
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: when I am not in the sport, then obviously like
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: it's okay, Like I play video games and you know,
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: I try and somewhat social, not the most social personal live,
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: but you know, but you know, I'm always you know,
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: wrestling is my life. So it's what I do, so
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: I live it. I live and breathe it, so don't
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: really get sick of it.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: Nuts Like I hated wrestling growing up. I like Cody
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: was always the best at it, and when it was
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: wrestling season, Cuddy was the favorite kid. And when it
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: was which wrestling's more so all year round, so it
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: would get the football season, I'd get a little more love.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: But I can never like win state or up and
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: I always got like second shit like that. And then
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: I quit after like my seventh grade year. Yeah, and
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: had to wrestle again my junior high school because I
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: didn't go out for the baseball team because I just
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: wanted to do football all year round. And I told
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: my mom as a sophomore, like, oh, I'll go out
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: for baseball next year, because she was like, why don't
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: you doing more sports? Because I was like doing every
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: sport up until high school and then I kind of
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: just started to focus on football. And since I didn't
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: go out for baseball like I had said, my parents
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: said I could either be grounded all when or I
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: could wrestle because my dad, you know, it's like a
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: wrestling family. My dad was all about wrestling. And you know,
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: Cody now coaches with the Pearlers, like he's part of
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: the Pearler team where they travel and all that stuff.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: And uh, like I hated wrestling so much, like I
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: had to get threatened. You're either wrestling or your ground.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: You're like debating, like, oh, I.
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: Don't want to brag, but I qualified for state.
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: Hey I've taken that many years off. That's pretty impressive.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: I can roll around a little bit. Yeah, I played
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: football in the Brass I didn't wrestle.
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: I say, would you? Yeah, Missouri, there's a good state.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: Missouri was solid back then. Back then it was like, uh,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: if I can remember Cody being on team Missouri. It
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: was like Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio. I mean I
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: was always in there. Where'd you grow up?
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: Pennsylvania?
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, always been in the deadly team but yeah,
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: is that you? Is that you? Yeah? That's me? Is
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: that the little Is that the little guy?
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: Yeah? My football play, my highlight?
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: You just were you a running back?
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you get after it a little bit.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: That low center of gravity. Yeah, my dad always swore
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: by it. He's like, your pro jility's gonna get better,
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: and your your low center of gravity, your balance, blah
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: blah blah. I mean, you know, fuck him for being right,
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: but it was. It's it's brutal living like this tall
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: off the round for like three months of the year.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: I hate running like I'm built. Football players are all
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: built for like six seven seconds at a time. Wrestlers
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: you're like, these dudes are running for days at a time. Start,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: you know, not eating food. Cody's cutting weight. I wrestled
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: two fifteen, but I was two o five, so I
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: can kind of give. I'm coming in a huge subway
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: or McDonald's or something, and Cody's pissed off. Like then
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: my parents would get mad, Hey, you can't eat in
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: front of Cody. Cody's gotta make it, you know, dude
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: is tough. Man Wrestling just just I have a bad
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: tasting my mouth with wrestling growing up. Yeah, spinning cups.
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: I'm talking these dudes. If they're a little bit overweight,
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: they're like, they'll go into the day of wrestling our
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: way in it's like, oh, I'm good, I'm five pounds overweight,
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: and you're just like, what are you fucking talking about?
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: And then they just take the next thirty eight hours
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: to run in sweats where their duct tape around their
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: ankles and their wrists where they can keep all the
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: sweat in. They're jump roping, they're running, they're sitting in
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: saunas or we didn't, you know, not having a sauna,
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: we would have to waste all of our hot water
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: in our house because you would have to just shut
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: the door, stuff towels at the bottom, you turn on
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: just the hot water and couldn't be sitting in there
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: in garbage bags. Dude to make weight because he wanted
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: to wrestle, like, ready to beat some dude's ass. And me,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: I'm thinking, maybe I can over under this guy if
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: I can hip him and toss in my win. If not,
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: he'll sink his scepts and pin me in. It'll be over.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: They will be over. I'll fucking eating chips and said,
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: I lose, I go up. My Mom's like, oh, don't
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: sit next to me. She's the one mad. I'm like, mom,
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: I lost. It was my best day. You've seen any
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: crazy weightcut stuff? Well, yeah, you done me? Uh so uh.
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: In twenty sixteen, I wrestled a one hundred and ten
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: pounds So think about that, you guys. Fifty kilograms was
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: the weight and I weighed about one thirty. So I
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: had to lose like twenty pounds. It took me like
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: six months. I shook my boy to be I was
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: really this pig. Yeah, it was a night for Wayn
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: so I was. I cut five and a half pounds
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: probably like two hours for way and started, so I
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: was like one fifteen and a half, went down to
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: one ten next day I was one twenty five. I
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: was insane disgusting that they changed the rules for wrestling,
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: because there's no more day before Waynes Now it's two
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: hours for international now because so stuff like that. I mean,
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: when I was in the Olympics in twenty sixteen watching
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: as a training partner, see these guys they're rustling sixty
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: five kilos now, which is won forty three and they
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: were won twenty five pounders in twenty sixteen and twenty
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: seventeen their one forty three pounders just because night per wahyan,
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: you make weight, you kill yourself, lose sweat pounds, you're
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: barely walking to the scale. Next day, you know, boom,
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: you're ten over, thirteen over, fourteen over.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: Are you one of those dudes who're just not fun
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: to be around when you're cutting weight?
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: Like, no, I'm i I uh, I keep my weight
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: low all year round. I'm always constantly basically, I guess
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: you could say perpetually cutting weight. But for me, it's
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: just like a lifestyle. I think cutting I think cutting
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: weight to a lifestyle. Like I hate when I see
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: guys who are fifteen twenty over and then then they
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: start cutting weight a month four season. Then they're they're struggling,
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: they're hurting, they're having bad practices, Like now, I'd rather hurt,
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: you know right now? Two months, three months, four months,
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: five months, be four season. Even starts them during the season,
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: you know, because then you get down, you feel good,
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: So it's like an edge when your weight's always good.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: That's probably the right way to do it.
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: Yeah, high school kids do it wrong. That's why you're
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: That's why I'm laughing about the plastic bags and the
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: and the you know the the you know it well, well,
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: when you're young, you don't know any better. I mean
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: I was, I was, I was telling you, I was
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: Kyle about you know the when I was in high school,
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: like I didn't know any better. You you well, my
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: dad would tell me that you should work out before
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: you weigh in, you know, break a sweat, lose like
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: a pound a half and then you feel good. It's
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: like you're warm up and then you we warm up
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: after making weight. But high school kids, what they do
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: is they just don't eat anything the day before, they
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: do anything the day of. They don't drink anything the
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: day of. So you wait at like seven pm. You
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: wrestled at eight you haven't you know, drink anything all day.
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: Then you stuff yourself with food and water. Now you
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: feel like crap for the match. Dude, they get ready
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: to get whatever because you're the one picking, like your
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: parents aren't there, and you guys are You guys are
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: so good. It's just validating what you guys are doing.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: Like you go out there, you know you're gonna tech
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: the guy, like it would be don't pin him too fast,
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: work on your stuff. Go out there and tech him,
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: like start working on stuff, like, don't just pin it
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: like that's easy, Like you'd get not me, he's like me.
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: But that's how it was. I assume it was the
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: same thing for you, Like you know you're gonna tech
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: these dudes, so you kind of just go about your
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: life however you want, because you know you're just gonna
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: beat the shit out of everybody.
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: Oh I could pretty nurse for every match, so I wasn't.
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: I took everyone pretty almost too seriously in school. Oh yeah,
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: I mean it doesn't matter that I was. You know,
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: I was a three time world champ in high school,
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: and you know, I was undefeated in high school, and
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: I'm wrestling kids that are you know, they don't they
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: don't know pretty much. You know, they're they're like one
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: time state qualifiers maybe at the best, and you know,
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: so I would, uh, I would, uh, you know, I
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: would take them a treat every match like it's the
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: Olympic finals.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: That's that's how my mindset was always but unrattled.
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: Right now, do you have many matches ever even go
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: the distance?
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, yeah. In college, I had a lot.
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: I mean, I mean i'd lost five times, so but
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean when I was in high school,
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: I probably only had like ten matches out of like
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty to go the distance. So over
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: four years.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: I was reading something and I don't even know if
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: you even care to even talk about this, but I
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: was reading somewhere to where I was talking about the
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: company you could be entering by winning the fourth and
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: just how you've measured up so far throughout your career.
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: But you have your five losses. And when somebody brings
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: like a Kale Sanderson who went no losses, yeah, and uh,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: people then talk about the style you do it too,
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: like you're you're known as I would assume on the
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: alls go ahead and say the mount rushmore of like
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: scoring like very fast, very high scoring. You were like
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: averaging over twelve points a match last year, which seems
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: incredibly high. I don't know where I'm going with this.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: Are you asking me where I put myself?
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: I kind of want to.
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: I want to.
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: Well, I haven't won yet, so that's.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: True, and so I kind of I don't want to.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: I don't want you to have to say anything that you.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: I don't want to just put that stuff out there
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: because I know you are still in college. If you
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: were a pro like I would really be trying to
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: get that out of you. Absolutely, But I don't want
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: to do that because you know the brands. I don't
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: need any of them boys at my front door, you
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't know what kind of
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: shape Manning's in Nebraska, but I don't know if I
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: can count on them to, you know, to help me
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: out there. Roll back, shout out the boys or rollback.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: Before I read this ad, let's read the message that
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: they sent the boys. They said, Will and Taylor, thanks
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: for the opportunity to sponsor the show. The last read
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: was epic. The whole offense, Oh damn it, the whole
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: office loved it. Thanks again, boys. Feel free to go
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: off script. I'll do my best roadback activewhere you know

- 1:24:33Speaker 1: fire emojis. Don't do it. Fourth because it makes the
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: tech small. Keep three emojis, so the fire stays lt
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: and it fire stays high. So if you're hitting the

- 1:25:20Speaker 1: the boy. At Georgia quarterback JT. Daniels officially joining the
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: Roadback fan Rowback you this past week. It's fair to

- 1:26:28Speaker 1: your clip goes viral and you now have a shirt
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: because guys can now monetize and name image likeness with
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: the new NIL world. I assume you're a huge commodity
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: in the nil world because you're an Iowa wrestler. What
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: has it been like with the NIL rules changing, and
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: what did you initially think? And maybe you didn't think
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: that much of it. But also another question I have
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: is like how has like it been handled in the university,
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: like with your team with that stuff too, because I
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: would assume it's as excited as a I was. We
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: had like we had hundreds of DMS ourselves. I know, Barstool,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: you're a barsol athlete as well, but I know they
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: had several hundred thousand people inquireant sign up for that.
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: And all I can think of is my head in
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: my head was coach bo Pliniard, Nebraska coach at the time,
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: what had us in a team meeting talking about all
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: these things, like take us through the transition going into
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: this NIL world, how it affected you and how it's
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: affected the coaching that's went into it.
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a whole new world, man. I
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: Mean you go from you know, not being able to
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: make any money. You're you're being super careful. You gotta
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: be careful with camps. You gotta tell them everything you make.
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: Everything Now it's like you tell them everything you make.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: But like you can pretty much monitor yourself in any
- 1:27:34Speaker 3: kind of way that it seemed you know allowed like
- 1:27:37Speaker 3: by the law of your state or you know, or
- 1:27:40Speaker 3: your compliance office. Everything everything goes to them. So yeah,
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: I mean it was I mean I wasn't like expecting
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: anything crazy, but like I knew that like after like
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: my quote and everyone wanted a shirt from my quote,
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: and I was like whatever, I guess.
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: Because at the time you couldn't put that. You couldn't
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: put that on a quote. Yes, so a viral moment happening. Yeah,
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: that's a prime example. Say the Nile world is happening
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: at that time. Within those next few days, that shirt
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: hits and you know, you're capitalizing off of that moment
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: that you have.
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, it would have been I mean that would
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: have been like the best timing of course, for sure.
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: I mean we didn't didn't put a shirt out until
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: like you know, July like twenty seventh or something. Yeah,
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: you know, and that obviously happened in March.
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: So did you sell a lot of shirts?
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean for yeah, I mean it was pretty
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: I mean it's still kind of going on, and it's
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: been really cool. I mean, Iowa fans are awesome, like
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: they're I mean, you probably don't like GOT fans very much.
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: But I don't like to give them credit just because
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: I have this.
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: I totally get it with you, I totally get it,
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: but you should.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: You guys love that incredible an incredible wrestling fan base.
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unreal. I mean, have you ever been to
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: a wrestling match in arena?
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: No, not not in not in the Iowa, not in
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: the Ioway right now, but that shit is lit, dude,
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: Like everybody in the stanzyone two and like arguing at
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: the ref and wrestling wrestling matches is lit, dude.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: I mean, we averaged like thirteen thousand fans. Really, I'm
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: sure it's a match for for wrestling, and it holds
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: fifteen thousand around there, so we almost sell it. Every
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: time our fans are loud, they're into it.
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: So you know, the Nebraska we've sold out all of
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: our stuff for since like the sixties.
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: The football games, right, yeah, yeah, you guys get donors
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: to buy the rest of the tickets up for we're.
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: Taking shut now, we're taking shirts. I might have been
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: the donor. Hey, I'll do it. We gotta say face here. Okay,
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: that's awesome. I wasn't I wasn't prepared for that. That
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: was very good you're on your toes right now. Where

- 1:30:20Speaker 1: it's got like it reminds me kind of like a
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: like a w c W vibe.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that was pretty cool.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: That weird the shirt that the writing no excuses. It
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: reminds me of about Wolfs tee from Walmart. But you're

- 1:30:39Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, like, how are you balancing the two?
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: So I got something your coach has brought you guys
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: in and talked about.
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that we have. We had a lot of meetings
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: with it. Our compliance talked to us a lot. We
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: we use an app called Influencer and we have to
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: put report everything through there. There's a bunch of resources
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: on there too that our compliance office is really big
- 1:30:59Speaker 3: and to like if you need help, like there's a
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: lot of people you can go too. Because yeah, I mean,
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: I I just I try not to focus on you know,
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: I'm not worried about like how much money can I make.
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: It's just like, you know, these are awesome opportunities and
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: what's best for my brand and how can I promote
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: the sport or wrestling the best, you know, being ambassador
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: of the sport. And you know, at the same time,
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: my main focus is winning you know, my fourth national
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: title and winning every match this year and being healthy
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: and not it's not just about how much money can
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: I make, you know, because I feel like people are
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: so focused on like how much can I make or
- 1:31:28Speaker 3: how can this opportunity to do signing here pictures here,
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: like I don't want to take time out of my day.
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: You know, that's the best kind of way to make
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: money right there is have a shirt, have someone else
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: make it for me. And so yeah, yeah, exactly. So
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: that was I mean, that was the easiest way I
- 1:31:41Speaker 3: mean sending you know, it was talking with Dave, which
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: is super cool to fortnite. He's awesome.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: I mean, how's he with you?
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: He was like, I mean it was like I was like,
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: is there someone else I could I could talk to that?
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: You know, He's like, no, You're gonna work with me.
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: I'm like like, okay, like that sounds good. Yeah, well
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: that was like the coolest.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: Thing, you know.
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: So really I was really like kind of like blown
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: away abou how like easy that was, and how like
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: you know, down to earth it was, you know, for
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: that to opportunity to happen. He was super into it.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Yea, I understand what you're saying, because I mean, clearly
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: number one, you're a three time NCAA. I don't think
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: anyone questions where your brain would be at with monetizing
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But it's also super interesting to
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: be in a spot like you because guys athletes can
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: now monetize image and likeness, And you're right, it's not
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: beneficial to take time out of your day to go
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: do signings unless it's something that's planned way in advance.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: Like the advice that I feel like I would give
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: an athlete if they wanted to find ways to take
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: advantage of it is having infrastructure that takes care of
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: it while you can do what you want to do.
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: Having your own shop. Obviously for you, you get to be
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: a barsol athlete. You get to be a credible one,
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: like somebody who's a legend to be a barsel athlete.
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: What is this right here, Rudis that's that's that's like
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: the brand that I signed with. So it's like, oh nice, yeah,
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: so the wrestling company by wrestlers.
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: And when I say legend everything, I'm not saying that
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: to like, you know I I you know, I'm saying
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: that for everybody else. Like I'm saying that the people
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: listening like you are in a credible spot. And the
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: benefits for you to do that is having this infrastruy
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: behind you so that way you can focus on wrestling
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: and not bend over backwards to try and figure out Okay,
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: how do I make money now? Yeah, I definitely don't
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: think you do that at all. Number One, you're in wrestling.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: It's not like it's the most financially benefits of sport
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: out there. But it's good to be an iowall wrestler. Yeah,
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: and in these big schools because whether it's national or
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: even local, like I'm assuming you guys might get your
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: your team might get benefited by somebody local eventually during
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: the season with this nil stuff. If you're a smart
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: local business, it brands you guys behind that. But it's
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: good to be like an iowall wrestler, even though it's
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: not the best. Wrestling is not the best sport to
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: be in, but being in your guys' shoes, like you
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: guys can capitalize a little bit more than I feel
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: like a lot of those other schools out there.
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's super awesome. I mean, that's that's
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: what's really cool about like the like the you know,
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: this city, the fan base, like you know that we
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: had an awesome Dan gible era kind of like grew
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: that that that that image of us, and that's why
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: we averaged the amount of fans at a wrestling match
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: I mean when I first went to an i rustling match,
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: I blew my mind.
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: You know when you think I would think wrestling, Yeah.
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which you know we at least you know,
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: we're trying, you know, well yeah we were like we
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: find the country right now, right?
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: Well yeah, I can hear the Malason's voice particularly. Well, yeah,
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: it's a good Oklahoma close game, you know, but uh,
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: it was a great game. Actually, you know, I don't
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: watch a lot of football all time.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: You missed a couple of field goals, field goes and
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: then extra point we win.
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: The game, yeah, which it would have been a big
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: upset of awesome for you guys. So just.
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: Play that game with him.
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: Well I do. I mean, I think wrestling is ingrained
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: in Iowa, you know, right, like every like small high school.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: It's like the wrestlers are like the cool kids, you know,
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: like I remember like talk and even the Iowa kids
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: like they're like really cool in high school. It's almost
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: like they almost get like less cool when going into
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: college unless they go to like Iowa. Yeah, like you know,
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: you know, like big schools that they're doing really well.
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: It's like crazy, there's so like the Iowa State tournament
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: for wrestling is like packed, like there's like there's not
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: a lot of seat to take in there, Like it's crazy,
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: like people love it. They schools will let their entire
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: school out for like three days, no no school, just
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: to go watch our wrestling state tournament. So like it's ingrained.
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: Like you know, so like then these kids, they they
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: become wrestling fans and you know, then then they go
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: to IO wresting duels and then then you know, everyone's watching.
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: It's like it's like a family event. People go there
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: like yeah, So it's like so I think it's so
- 1:35:37Speaker 3: when you're an IO wrestler with n il and stuff
- 1:35:39Speaker 3: is you know, I think there's an opportunities that might
- 1:35:41Speaker 3: come just because you are right. So I think that's
- 1:35:43Speaker 3: super And.
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: Not to mention you guys don't get now unless it's
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: changed since I was playing, But you guys don't get
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: full rise either, or does wrestling get.
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: Full Oh you get nine point nine scholarships.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: Correct for some guys might be a full might be
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: a full ride guy.
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Right, just thirty six spots and a roster, so it's
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: hard to get.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Some guys get divvied up. It's not like it's not
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: not NFL. It's not like a college football or college basketball,
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: college volleyball even you get full rides. It's kind of
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: like baseball where you get a certain amount of cartials partials.
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: There's a lot of partials that go around. So if
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: you're you can still benefit from that way. Like are
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: you you a full scholar guy?
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: Now, I mean I have I do have a scholarship.
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: So okay, all right, okay, you have that's good answer.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: Do you have a scholarship? But say, like the hypothetical is
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: that Spencer Lee does not have a full right scholarship.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: You're able to benefit off of rules like this, whether
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: or not we know you're not focused on it, but
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: you're able to benefit to help you offset those costs
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: that you're paying to go to school.
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: Well, I think I saw like an article about like
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: Ivy League schools because they don't get scholarships. I saw
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: that they were trying to trying to use nil as
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: like an opportunity where they can kind of make up
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: that gap from other schools for like recruiting purposes. Even so,
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: I think that's like a really good way of put
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: did like just like that because like even could help
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: like us with recruiting too, Like let's say we got
- 1:37:05Speaker 3: a guy who's like a full ride guy and we
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: gotta get him, but like we only have a fifty
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: Maybe there's a way we can We university cannot help
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: career athlete get their money, but I'm saying like, if
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: he's able to perform, he can maybe maybe make up
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: that gap of correct that and then he's able to
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: like not have debt in college, which I think is
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: like obviously you never want to be in debt, so
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: like I think that's right.
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: It's the thought of going like, oh, all these athletes
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: want to make money, yeah, versus like, no, they're not
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: making money. They're closing the gap on the expenses of
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: their paying to go to school when they don't get
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: full rides. Like a sport like wrestling, Do you have
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: any interest in doing anything else outside of wrestling?
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: Like MMA WW I I was like got a joke
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: because like Gable Stevenson, he he got signed a w W.
- 1:37:48Speaker 3: I was always joking, and I was always gona be like,
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: like you ever need a buddy, you know, hit me up,
- 1:37:52Speaker 3: you know, but uh, I never actually like meant that,
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: like for real, would you at WWE. I don't know,
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: don't well, do they really want a five ft three
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: hundred and three pound man A w W?
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: You know maybe one everyone goes everyone.
- 1:38:02Speaker 3: I see, I was just gonna say that, everyone goes
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: Rain misterial. He's like five six. You know, I'm five
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: to three, you know, much smaller I am than him.
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: You know, I'm like fifty pounds lighter than him, and
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: I'm three inches shorter. I'm just saying, yeah, but you
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: know his name. Everyone knows his name. Everyone knows who
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: Raymisterio is.
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: That's all we got to do is work on your
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: mic skills, so athlete, Now you're busting with the boys.
- 1:38:25Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go. And I think I was that's
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: not happening. Imagine me. It looked like a little royed
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: up and freaking lever coat, you know. But uh, I
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: always think I was born to be a fighter. Combat
- 1:38:41Speaker 3: sports have always been really good at like like body
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: awareness and like movement, and so I think, I mean,
- 1:38:47Speaker 3: and then they could be in my future. But I've
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: never like thought of it. I never wanted to be
- 1:38:51Speaker 3: a guy who got punched his face for a living.
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: But you know, if it's an opportunity that ever comes
- 1:38:54Speaker 3: to rise and it's something that I feel is best
- 1:38:56Speaker 3: for me, then like I would fight. I just I
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: just don't think it's something you should, you know, be like,
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: oh I might fight, you know, that's not it's a
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: fight game. That's not something you kind of like, you know,
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: joke around either, got you exactly, you gotta you gotta
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: want to, like, you know, you gotta know you're gonna
- 1:39:10Speaker 3: get hurt, You're gonna get hit. You know, it's not
- 1:39:12Speaker 3: something you just gonna go out there and just murder everyone,
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: you know, unless you're like, you know, I don't know,
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: like a bibe or something, but he's he's a different breed,
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: you know.
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: But have you dabbled with MMA at all, like in
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: any of your off seasons.
- 1:39:22Speaker 3: Well, my parents did judo, so like there's a there's
- 1:39:24Speaker 3: some grappling in judo kind of like jiu jitsu on
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: the mat with judo, So like I know, I like,
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: I know how to defend myself, but I never really
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: I don't know how to strike. I don't know any
- 1:39:31Speaker 3: of that stuff. So if I ever did it, it'd
- 1:39:33Speaker 3: be like the only thing I'd be proficient and will
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: obviously be wrestling as like a martial arts.
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: So shoot, we got Michael Chandler bro, we could just
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: hit up Mike.
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: Yeah, he was the wrestler.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Yeah so yeah, speaking of what was his name, uh,
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: the one who went to w W, Gable, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: is it? Is he also a college athlete while.
- 1:39:53Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's gonna wrestle in college this season and
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: then good w W after I think.
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: So he's not doing anything w W now in season.
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: I think they're gonna just use his name, his likeness,
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: and he's gonna you know, I think he's only gonna
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: do home matches for him and then I think, actually
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: I think he said the only away match he might
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: wrestle would be Iowa, which is awesome. But uh then yeah,
- 1:40:13Speaker 3: so I think they're whatever they need to use him
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: for for that. I mean, he might do like appearances
- 1:40:17Speaker 3: and stuff at events, but he ultimately his goal will
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: obviously to be a national champion again, and then he's
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: going to go into WW and try and be a superstar.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: So that's pretty sick.
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: Yeah, it's awesome. It's really good for our sport. I mean,
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: if he keeps winning, it's good for us. I mean
- 1:40:29Speaker 3: good for him, of course, but like it's good for us.
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: That's my main goal is to have wrestling grow to
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: be a bigger sport. I mean it will never be,
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: you know, a big sport like football or basketball, just
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: because the rules and it's you know what it is
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: as it is. You know, that's why.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: And then they why don't you think he could football
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: or basketball?
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: So if I grabbed one of you guys and I
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: made you watch my match and took the scoreboard off,
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: could you score it? No?
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: Now if I if I grab say that again.
- 1:40:54Speaker 3: So if I and I made them watch a match
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: of wrestling.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: Oh got ya? I was thinking physically and I took.
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: The floor and I took the scoreboard off, could he
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: score it?
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: No?
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: Well, if I pull you into a MMA Matt fight
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: and you've never watched it MO before, could you understand
- 1:41:12Speaker 3: what's going on? Yeah, one guy's getting punched in the face,
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: the other guy's getting punched in the face, and if
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: the guy taps or gets knocked out, who wins? Right,
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: That's why it's so popular. It's a sport where anyone
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: with football. I mean, obviously these sports are way way
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: more complicated. Like obviously football isn't just you throw a ball,
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: catch a ball run a ball run, you know, but
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: like if you it's obviously the ball wants to go
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: to an end zone. The ball wants to go into hoop, right,
- 1:41:33Speaker 3: you will hit a baseball out of a field. Wrestling,
- 1:41:35Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, his hand didn't touch the mat, so
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: that's not a takedown, that's not points. He turned away,
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: there's no points and he got away. You have to
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: actually know the sports, so I don't I think the
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: unless they like simplify the rules maybe in wrestling, which
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: will be hard for wrestlers because there are rules like
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: that for reason. For wrestlers we understand, but like for
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: a fan, it's really hard. That's why restart wrestling isn't
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: as popular because it's different than college. So you can
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: get into call. Then you watch freestyle, it's like, what's
- 1:42:02Speaker 3: what's going on here?
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: So I think that's the biggest thing for us.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: Will ever go to like just freestyles since that's the
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: Olympic sport.
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: I wish they did, but I think it'd be impossible
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: because in freestyle you're allowed to slam a guy as
- 1:42:15Speaker 3: far as you can on their head and there's no penalty.
- 1:42:18Speaker 3: You get you know, rewarded for that and folk style
- 1:42:21Speaker 3: you get disqualified for that.
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: I think that'd make it more popular.
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: It would definitely make it more popular. But I think
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: the way, you know, kind of like the sport is
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: in America, how people are I mean, imagine having a
- 1:42:32Speaker 3: you know, a little kid go up for wrestling and
- 1:42:34Speaker 3: he just gets supplexed on his head and that's you know,
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: like yeah kind of you know, because like imagine you'restling
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: kid he's been wrestling for four years and he's he's like,
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: he's he knows about it, he's pretty good, and a
- 1:42:43Speaker 3: new kid comes out and he has what he's doing,
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: gets you know, doc supplex right out of his head.
- 1:42:47Speaker 3: What's a mom and to think, oh my god, my son. Right,
- 1:42:49Speaker 3: So it's like that's kind of why I think folk
- 1:42:51Speaker 3: style kind of developed. I don't actually know why, but
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: that's my theory. I think that they wanted rules that
- 1:42:55Speaker 3: were safer and you know, easier to like watch and
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: anyone can do other than like you know, you pretty
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: much could break a guy in half.
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I don't know shit, but I feel
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: like that's a good theory. I did. Well, he's kind
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: of seems like he's thought about that.
- 1:43:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, I mean, I'm trying to I want
- 1:43:10Speaker 3: to go to the sports.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: What would be what rule would you change in folk
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: style to make it easier to watch? What's something that
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: you would be like, I would change this rule if
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: this was.
- 1:43:19Speaker 3: The first Maybe A push out rule is kind of
- 1:43:21Speaker 3: the big thing everyone wants. It's like, you push your
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: guy to bounds, you get a point. That's a rule
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: in freestyle, so like if your foot goes out of
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: bounds first, that's a point and folks out a lot
- 1:43:28Speaker 3: of times, guys, the rule is if there's any point
- 1:43:31Speaker 3: of your body in bounds that you can continue to wrestle.
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: So if I just had my finger in words out
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: of bounds, you can keep wrestling right the raft will
- 1:43:37Speaker 3: and blow it out when both bodies have left the mat.
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: I think that's really complicated. There are rules like, you know,
- 1:43:43Speaker 3: if you're on your back, you know, stuff like that,
- 1:43:44Speaker 3: and freestyle, if your back exposes the points are scored
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: in folks out you have to hold them. So it's
- 1:43:49Speaker 3: just there's like a little differences like that. But I
- 1:43:51Speaker 3: think a push out rule is pretty simple. You can
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: understand that, Like if I push you off the mat,
- 1:43:55Speaker 3: I get.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: A point right, So yeah, what else I.
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: Mean wrestling in the old like WAYBC when it was
- 1:44:02Speaker 3: like one of the first sports. I mean, I think
- 1:44:03Speaker 3: the rules then were like you had to make a
- 1:44:05Speaker 3: guy tap like before I'm talking like like the oldest
- 1:44:11Speaker 3: sport like wrestling. I think Rescuse wrestling was like super
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: popular in Collis Suns and stuff. People would wrestle and uh,
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: people would fill up stadiums for for wrestling, which you know,
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: And then I think the rules then were either it
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: was either like three takedowns, which meean you just had
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: to like take them down to the ground, or it
- 1:44:28Speaker 3: was like you had to make someone like tap or
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: like quits, like you'd like impose your will on someone.
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: I don't know if that would make it more popular,
- 1:44:34Speaker 3: but I was always like kind of thinking like what
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: made it so popular back then? And like those are
- 1:44:39Speaker 3: very simple rules, right, Like you can understand that, yeah,
- 1:44:43Speaker 3: I mean you could. I mean whatever, I mean, I'm
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: not saying that, but like I'm saying like it was
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: obviously I mean different eras of course, but like if
- 1:44:50Speaker 3: it's simple, if it's yeah, if it's one guy has
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: beat another guy, I mean when it comes to rules,
- 1:44:55Speaker 3: I mean I take advantage of the rules today, Like
- 1:44:56Speaker 3: I score a lot of points in like turning people
- 1:44:59Speaker 3: in my my wrestling, and that wouldn't really do anything
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: in the rules I'm saying, So it wouldn't benefit me
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: at all. Actually, it would actually hinder me, to be honest,
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: because I scored a lot of points really fast because
- 1:45:09Speaker 3: of the way the rules are. And if it was
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: just like impose your will on someone who's tougher, like,
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: that would be different.
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: So I don't know that's solid. Yeah, I like to
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: push I should listen to that.
- 1:45:19Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's been talking about it.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it sucks, like you know, saying the
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: legend all that stuff, like I know, you got to
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: go win the Natty this year, Like I know that
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: your goal. I know that's your goal. And not to
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: like downplay or anything else. I clearly hope you do.
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: And we can wear our Spencer Lee shirts. Yeah, but
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: it happens. Appreciate it. You guys have any questions for him?
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: What do you want to do after as of right now?
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: Like the lifes of wrestling?
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what mean they could do a lot of things.
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: I mean, I could go into coaching, maybe coach at
- 1:45:56Speaker 3: I was like, it was always like the path that
- 1:45:57Speaker 3: I was kind of on. I mean I could, I
- 1:45:59Speaker 3: could fight, I could I could do entertainment like w W.
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: If I was ever if anyone's ever interested in me,
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: if that was something I really thought about. You know,
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: I always wanted to be like an athletic director of
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: a division school, you know, so so I could. I
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: mean I have a school like yeah, yeah, so I
- 1:46:12Speaker 3: always had different You have a lot of different paths
- 1:46:14Speaker 3: I could do. I mean, never really know what's gonna
- 1:46:16Speaker 3: happen with life, right, kind of hits you differently. I
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: mean I'm I'm super young obviously, so we all a
- 1:46:20Speaker 3: lot of stuff I could do. So you are young, Yeah,
- 1:46:23Speaker 3: twenty two is young, right, I mean were you three two?
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah? Were you about to try to go
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: with the joke there? Were you about to go into
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: an old.
- 1:46:30Speaker 6: Joke when you're not a full steam ahead with wrestling.
- 1:46:38Speaker 6: What are some other things you enjoy doing, like other
- 1:46:40Speaker 6: sports maybe hobbies?
