  Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of Inside the Charge. Maddie Glab
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: alongside of, stepping in for Ray Davis. We've got defensive
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: lineman Dwayne Carter, everybody.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: You know, glad to be here. Glad to be here.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I appreciate it. Ray is a very tough
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: act to follow. So, I see what I can do.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You got your Fat Boy Fridays. You were born for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the camera, DC.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Of course. Shameless plug right there. Fat Boy Fridays.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that later because we got to talk
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about Fat Boy Fridays and the love you're getting from
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a bunch of brands.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It's been amazing. But first, we have to recap that
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: week three victory over the Chargers. Dwayne, head coach Joe
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Brady said the defense kept the team in it. The
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Chargers scored just 10 points off of five turnovers. Defense
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: really locked in in the second half. What was the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: biggest adjustment that you guys made?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just, you know, it's funny because
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: obviously Our first two weeks were so explosive, right? So,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're 30-point games, 40-point games. We know the defense, like,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that's not our standard. That's not what we want to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be known as. So it was kind of the emphasis
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this week, all right, no matter what happens, like, they
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: don't score, they don't win. And that's kind of the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: mentality that we have, right? So, you know, offense, they
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: picked us up the first two weeks. So when it
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: comes to us, it shows we're just a true team, right,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a true brotherhood, and that we can trust each other.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: That's been cool, kind of the messaging, like, all right,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we're not just, you know, an offensive football team. We're
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: not a defensive football team. We are a football team.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I think that was evident this weekend.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Brady also said he loved the defensive intentionality in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: week leading up to the Chargers game. What was different
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: about the way you guys practiced?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, I think just the intentionality, I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: think is a great word for it. Like it was,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: all right, maybe my hands weren't getting up here or
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: maybe our rotation wasn't getting up here. Maybe we aligned
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a different place or our hand wasn't in the right spot.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It's just all these little details and fine details that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we really had a conversation about, whether it's in the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: meeting room, on the field, in our unit meeting, So
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's just, you know, it's just not like, I'm not
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: going to say it was a bind because we've all
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: been bought in, but it's just like, you know, like
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the extra urgency without emergency about, you know, things we
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: want to fix.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You talk about the brotherhood that the defense already has
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, not being happy with the performance,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but answering that in week three and allowing just 16 points.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: How reassuring is that to see that you can make
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: an adjustment this early in the season and it's working?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's pretty cool, especially, you know, see
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: all the stats, right? Because A lot of times you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: lose a turnover battle, like it's almost a guaranteed loss
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and an ugly one, right? So it's a big kudos to, one,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: our defense and our team. But, two, knowing it's that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: early in the season and we didn't panic, there was
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: no freaking out or anything going on from anybody on
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the sideline. At the end of the day, figure out
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: what we need to do to win that ball game,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and we did it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: No panic on the sidelines. What is Dwayne Carter's personality
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: during a game on the sidelines?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's funny. Everybody, like, you know, me being kind of bubbly, extroverted, And,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you know, as footballers, oh, you got to be mean, tough,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and that is very true, but I'm kind of really
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the same person. Okay. Until we get to the tunnel and, like,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the anthem starts, then something kind of flicks and clicks
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in my head, like, all right, like, it's time to go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And that, I'm not going to say alter ego, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I guess so, like, kind of comes out. And then,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you know, we just turn it into, and once the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: game gets rolling, I'm kind of the same way.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And I just view the game as... A big practice
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: with TV cameras and fans and more noise.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Lights, camera, action.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You know, that's when I play my best, when I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: more relaxed.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I love that. Because some people, they are a different
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: person in a game than they are outside of a game.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes, like you're a yapper. You like to talk.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You're bubbly.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's like on the sidelines, maybe you're quiet and completely
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: locked in. But if you're relaxed, you say, you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'm the same Dwayne Carter.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It is, right? And it's about being yourself. Like some
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: guys have to take it to that place where they,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, super quiet. super locked in, focused, angry, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: don't know. But for me, I've tried all those different methods,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and I found what's best is just sitting here doing this, relaxing, vibing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously, you know, and I got to handle
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: business on the other side of the game. But, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there are those moments where you see me, you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a little bit more fired up, angry, and I don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: think it's more angry. It's just passion. You know, we
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: love the game. I love the game. And, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we make plays. We celebrate. We do all those celebrations
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and have fun doing it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Dwayne, coming off of an Achilles injury last year, you've
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: had a strong start to the season, six tackles, You're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: playing physical. What's clicking for you right now?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You know, honestly, I think it's just the trust and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: belief in myself and the work that I did. Obviously,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it's a very big injury coming off. And this whole thing, like,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: can you come back? You're 20 pounds, 30 pounds heavier.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Can you move the same? Is your strength the same?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And it's just funny answering those questions to yourself. It's like, well,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I've run faster than I have since I've been here.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: My body fat's the lowest I've had since I've been here.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I've been the strongest since I've been here. You put
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on 18 pounds of muscles in nine months, and that's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: kind of, like, freakish. It's just all these things that
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: are compounding. So, like, I got to the point where
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it's like, all right, let's just trust it. And as
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: soon as we put those pads on the camp, that's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: when it just started to click for me. And then,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you know, going into preseason, you know, I got so
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: happy we had preseason at home first so I could
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: get all those jitters out the way. Yes. And after that,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's just been, you know, we're just rolling and doing
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: my best to do my job whenever my numbers call out.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: 18 pounds of muscle in nine months. How does that happen?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Honestly, it was an accident.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I want to live your life. If you say that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: an accident.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Cause when I got hurt, I was in a boot
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: so long where, you know, I'm not on two feet.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I was not on weight bearing and everything. So I'm like,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not stepping on the scale, but what I could
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: do and shout out to my guy, coach and the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: weight room, my dog. And we were together every single
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: day and he had perfect plan. Him and will put
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: together a plan where it was like, all right, well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: let's see how cut up you can get. So I'm,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: push-ups sit-ups dumbbell press bench press overhead press sitting down
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: anything i can do sitting down upper body curls triceps
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and even so much so to keep up my leg
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and quad strength that's a big thing that you know
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the atrophy piece of it like the look of it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: um i would do leg extensions and and so crazy
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: i'm doing sets of 100 like just knocking them out
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: with my boot on so it's just and it's kind
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of like where we have these jerseys called the yard
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And me, Landon, Dorian Strong, and my boy, Wanda Owens,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: we all kind of, that was our persona or our
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: mantra because that was our game day. So that's kind
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of how it happened. And then one day, I get
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: out the boot. I go home, like, I should probably
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: step on the scale, you know, see where I'm at.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it said, like, 333.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, no, that's, you know, that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit higher. Not even a little bit. It's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a lot higher than I've ever been. So, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: now we sit around, like, 322. But it was kind of,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say a shock. No, it definitely
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: actually was a shock.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It was a shock. Having the YAR t-shirts and kind
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of having that mantra as you work out and do
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the workouts that are, you know, push and pull. What
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: did you learn about your body in that?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's funny. It kind of brought me back
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to my roots of college because I think where I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: made a step in college was we had a coaching
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: change my junior year. In 2022, we had Mike Elko
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: come in. And for the longest, our only hires were
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: him and our strength coach, Coach David Philly. He's a maniac.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: He's an animal. But it's kind of the same mentality
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: was you can do so much more than what your
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: brain tells you that you can do. Your body is
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: capable of so much more. You can push up and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: do so many things once you break past that wall
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or that barrier. And then once you do that, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: can do so much more. And that was kind of
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the mentality of me coming through college my last couple
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of years and getting to where I got from there. And,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I kind of get away from that a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: little bit. It's a different type of strength program. You know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: we still work hard. Yeah. But it's just a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: more money involved. Well, I guess nowadays kids are making millions.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So it might be a little bit different in college now,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: but I know Coach Philly's still the same. But getting
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: back to that mentality of working through, you know, pushing
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: my body past limits and just knowing, like, all I
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: had right there was the weight room and I can
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: go and recover. I have time to recover. I can
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: eat well. Do what I need to do. So getting
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: back to the mentality and just, you know, that kind
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of the mindset. I knew I had to come back because,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, year three. It's obviously a big year for
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: guys in the league. It'll be my third year here.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: The way my career has gone with injuries so far,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it's like, listen, you've got to do everything possible to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: be in the best shape physically, mentally, and spiritually. So
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that was a big part of it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: What is an example in your preparation and in your
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: recovery where your brain told you, Dwayne Carter, you cannot
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: do this, but you pushed through?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so like I said, we do a set of
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: 100 leg extensions. And I remember the first time we
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: ever did it, And Ann is, like I said, that's
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: my guy. He's been a rock since through all the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: injury stuff here in the building. And I always say
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: strength coaches can't count because they're all insane. And so
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: that's the first thing we started doing. I think that
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: same day we did a set of planks. And he
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: was like, all right, we're going to do whatever sets
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of 30 seconds. So I'm doing them. I'm kind of
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: just locked in. And I look up. He's nowhere to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: be found. I'm like, where the heck did you go?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: So I'm just I had been doing it for, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: don't know how long at that point.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Five minutes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And I drop it. I'm like, dude, he's like, oh
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: my bad, you know. I forgot you were there. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: those mental years start turning like, you know, maybe that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: wasn't so bad, right? So then we get the leg extensions.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And he's like, all right, we got like two by
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a hundred or whatever. You know, obviously like, I don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: know if I can do a hundred straight. I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: know if I can do a hundred straight. That automatically
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: goes to that negative space in your mind. So I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: remember the first time I started doing sets, I'm like
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: set of 50 maybe. Then it would be 25 more,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: 25 more. And then if something just clicks in the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: competitor in me, I was like, You know what? Let's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: hit 100. Like nothing is here stopping you. Like it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: not pain. You obviously got the 50. You stopped just fine.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So why aren't you maxing it out? So, you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I think I hit like maybe 80 or something before
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I stopped. And then I was like, all right, that's better. Boom.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Knock out the next 20. And then we just start
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: compiling those exercises into push-ups, sit-ups, abs. Then, you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I'm 330 pounds at the time. I'm back on the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: pull-up bar. So now it's like, all right, how many
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: pull-ups am I doing? and it's the mental block of
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: i'm heavy you know oh this hurts this hurts man
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: forget the hurt like you're okay it doesn't hurt you're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: just building muscle you're recovering the right way and you
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: know that's eventually how we got up and no i
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: did not do 100 pull-ups i can't do that i
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: mean but push-ups and everything i could do that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: No but i'm back on the pull-up bar at 330
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So it was pretty cool because, you know, something
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: we did in college, and shout out to my head
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: strength coach in college, Coach Philly, because that was one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of the first things he did, too. He just put
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: us on a pull-up bar. And he was like, I
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: can't say the exact words he used in here because
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the show would probably get canceled. But basically saying, like,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: it's a shame that we're not doing pull-ups as big guys.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of how that started. And then I
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: did heavy pull-downs on lateral pull-downs. And once I got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: clear to, you know, be on my two feet, it
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: was like, Hey, let's get you on this pull-up bar.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: This is real strength. And I know you got it
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in you. And, you know, my friend's like, I don't know.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It's the same mental thing.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: And you're like, you know what? You eventually say, forget it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Let's do it. So that's where we're at.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. Having that mindset of I can do pull-ups at 330,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I believe in myself. How are you taking that to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the field now?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It's just the mindset that if you can't beat you,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: then nothing else can beat you. At the end of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the day, like if you have full control of your mind,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: your brain, your body. Nothing else matters. Again, that's kind
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of the mindset that we have. And, you know, it's
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just we're the best in the world. That's what we think. And,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you know, I say it a lot. A lot of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: guys say it a lot, especially you think about that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: week one game at Houston. It comes down to we
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: got to get a stop, two-minute drive, two-minute drill against
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the offense that's cooking at the moment. And it's like
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: there's nothing better. We're the best in the world. We
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: practice against the best guys in the world every single day.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: We got the best quarterback in the league. We got
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the best running back in the league, best receivers. Like,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: we play against the best every single day. And that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the mindset. It's like, If I'm practicing with these guys
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and I'm making plays, I'm doing what I'm doing, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: at the same time, you know, sharpening the iron, there's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: nobody else in the league that can stop us.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: What a freeing way to approach this season. I can
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: feel the confidence oozing off of you right now, Dwayne.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I love where you're at right now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: In this season.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And you spoke about being out all of last year
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: without a killings injury, your rookie season on injured reserve
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: for five games as well. Why is this your coming
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: out year in the NFL?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know, so... Big believer in the faith. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: believe in God and everything. And, you know, I believe
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you got to go through some things to learn where
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to be at. Now, I would, you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: much rather not, you know, just maybe sprain my pinky
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: or something. That would have been nice. But, you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: going through at the time of my rookie year, I
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: was at a point, too, where I was, you know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: kind of on a good path, elevating, making a lot
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of plays, playing a lot of snaps. Ended up getting
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that wrist thing I had randomly out of nowhere. Okay, whatever.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Showed me a little bit, all right, maybe I have
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: a lot more to learn. And, you know, I kind
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: of take that as, you know, I was kind of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: getting to where's my success coming from. Okay. And it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: just like, all right, oh, it's me. It's me. I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: doing this. I knew I was going to do this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I knew I was going to do this. Humble yourself. Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I humbled myself. Come back. Sit down the rest of
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the year. And then same thing I was dealing with
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: my second year was, all right, you're coming in. Like, basically,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I know who I am. I know how good I am.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I know what I can do. This is what I'm
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: going to do. And this is what I'm focused on.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You know, honestly, the stuff that doesn't matter at the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: end of the day. And, you know, God sat me
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: down again. And that's okay. Like I said, it's okay.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm honestly grateful for it at this
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: point because through that, I mean, I'm a lot stronger.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I'm way better spiritually. At the time, I had just
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: married my wife a month or two before that. So
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: we got to spend a whole year together. Wow. We
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: forgot what marriage is. It's like all these silver linings, right? And,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I still got to be around the building.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't leave Orchard Park, which, you know, I saw
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you guys every freaking day. besties so it's been cool
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: man to see how everything has transpired and I think
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm so much smarter now honestly football wise you know
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: it's year three and you know you can say what
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you want about how many games I've played or whatever
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but I'm a third year player in this league and
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Starting to show up I love that you're able to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: see those silver linings through some really hard times how
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: mature of you three years in you're still so young
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Dwayne but you're speaking veteran talk right now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And that's what it is you know You know, God
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: is good. You know, I officially got bested as of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: last week because it's two years, three games, whatever it was. So,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you know, best of it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go. He's a vet now. Your teammates have also
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: been balling out to start the season. Outside linebacker Greg
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Russo is on an absolute heater. Six sacks in three games.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: What's gotten into him?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I say best of the world. It's funny. He did
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: something in camp. He did like a rush that I'd
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: never seen him do. It was real early. And I swear, like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: true story, you can ask me, back it up. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: was like, I said, you're acting different this year. That's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: literally what I said to him. Like, and this is
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: probably week one or two of camp. I was like,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you're acting different this year, dude. Like, and he just
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: started laughing. I mean, you know, Greg is kind of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: goofy guy, chilling, laughing about it. He's like, all right, bro,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: just chill, just chill. And like, now you see what
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it is every single day. But at the end of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the day, he's been so good since he's been here
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in the league as well. And he honestly doesn't get
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the respect he deserves. And that's just cool for me
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: to see, like, I know how good he is. So
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of people around you know, Lee and, you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: social or whatever else are like, Oh my gosh, where
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: did this come from? I'm like, Oh, I don't know
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: if it's where it just come from. You're just kind
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of opening your eyes now.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You know it because you play on the defensive line,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but everybody's talking about one reason why we're so is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: playing so well is because he's playing with his hand
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: up in a three, four defense. How does that open
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: things up for a player?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Especially for guys like him and his body type, right? Him, Chubb, Vaughn, Mike,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all those guys. It's like, they can see the game
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: because they have so much more responsibilities, whether it's coverage,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: whether it's, you know, quarterback, running back, whether it's tight end,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: seeing everything and being able to see actually what's going
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: on makes the difference. Because even in our position on
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the interior, like if I'm in my stance and I
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: can actually see different sets and who's actually in the game,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it makes a world of a difference. So
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's why, you know, the conversations guys are
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: playing a lot faster and more free on the edge
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: because you actually know what's coming. Because in your stance,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: if you're hitting the ground, you know, you're coming up.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: First thing you got to look is, all right, what's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in front of me?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And actually process. But instead, you're in a two-point stance,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you can kind of gauge it. You can see what's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: going on. You can see the play clock coming down.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: You can see what's kind of going on and picture
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: those things before they happen. And all those things that
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: we practice because, you know, our coach is so good.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: We literally put in every single situation, scenario that we
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: can be during the week. So I know for that,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're seeing that right away and going. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it helps us play faster on the inside as well.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Rousseau has length at 6'7. He's got long arms. He
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wins a lot with that tough arm, just holding an
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman off. How impossible is that to stop?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So, you know, Greg, I'm lucky. In our D-line room,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: deep in the room, I said we have two unicorns
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: that were born on third base in the genetics library,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the lottery, and that's Dion Walker and Greg Rousseau. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: they're so athletic. And they're both like 6'8, or whatever
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: it is, with a 100-foot wingspan.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: A 100-foot wingspan.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And, you know, the hardest thing for an offensive lineman,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I've never played a line, well, since high school, I
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: would imagine is if you can't touch anybody, you probably
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: can't block them. So you talk about Greg being at
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a two-point stance now, it's so much easier for him
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: to get that arm inside somebody's chest, and he's so
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: strong and powerful, he's just going to walk them back.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Because I don't care how big or strong somebody else is.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: If you can hit, like, in the right spot, underneath
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: your armpit, wherever it is, you're going to naturally tip.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: especially when the guy across from you is, you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: freaking nature. So, I mean, he knows who he is
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: as a rusher. He knows his body very well. And,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just been really cool to see.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm so happy for him. I spoke with him
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: earlier in the offseason. He said my goal is to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: get to 10. I know he sniffed 10 in a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons. And to see him be well on
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: his way to that number is so awesome. The other thing, though,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is everybody's saying Russo's done a fantastic job in the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: run game. What is he doing in the run game
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that you're saying is an interior defensive lineman like, wow,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: he's got it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So it's like prime example last week, the Chargers game.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We knew their big perimeter run team with 34 was
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in the game. We just knew that. And it was
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: on film or even they want to attack the perimeter.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It was going to be outside regardless. So we knew
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: we had to set an edge. So it's a big
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: responsibility on not only us inside, but the outside. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I think of a play actually me and Greg were
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: running together. He'd run that stretch player, jet sweep, whatever
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: it was. And you kind of look out. Obviously, I
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: don't see this on the field because I'm playing. But
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he takes two guys because it's funny because his natural
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: blocker is straight up in front of him. So his
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: job is to run through him and basically knock him
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: back as far back as he can go, going straight
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: radically back, which he did that. But then the puller
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: is coming around to pick up our linebackers, whoever else
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: shows up, our safeties, whatever it may be. I mean,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: he knocks off the puller as well, whether it's intentional
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: or unintentional. But when you do your job, you're supposed
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to do things like that happen. And you see TB. Dorian, Cole, D, CJ,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: whoever it is, flying over the top untouched, knocking down
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the backfield. It's like, that's what defense is supposed to
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: look like. I mean, it's a beautiful thing to look like.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I come on the back in a little bit,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: but those guys beat me there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: You spoke about Deion Walker, too. Deion has had an
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: awesome start to the season as well. How does playing
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: next to him open things up for you?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: It's been cool. It's been really cool because, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't get to play any games with, you know, him, TJ,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and Landon last year. And, you know, we're all pretty cool, so.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: being out there with them and, you know, the start
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: he's had has been unbelievable. And the cool part about
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: that for me is, you know, being a guy who really,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I wasn't here last year or on the field last year,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: excuse me. So it was like, all right, he came
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: off hot. So I'm going to get a lot more
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: one-on-ones naturally. And it's kind of worked in my favor.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: It allowed me to make some plays.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Man, the defensive line overall, you guys are top. two
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in quarterback hits to start the season. What are you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: most proud of playing with these guys?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I think the way we play together, right? In our room,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: there's no egos. It's not like, just, you know, so-and-so,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I should be doing this, I should be doing this.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: We're a real team. And even, I think a prime
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: example of it is– Two weeks ago now, we played
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the Lions. Everybody talked about the game that me and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Deion ran where I kind of picked the center. Yes.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Deion came around.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That was awesome.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Well, a big part of that too as well was
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: we kind of told Chubb and Greg, mind you, these
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: are like two solidified vets, like elite players in the league, like, hey,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we need you guys to do this. It's like they're
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: telling you, hey, this is what we need to do.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: And the guys being there, they could have been like, man,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: these young dudes, man, shut up. We're going to do
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: what we want, right? And they're like, all right, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: know what? We got you. And then, you know, we
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: obviously see what that play came to be. That's just
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a prime example of the type of guys we have.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And that's what, you know, I'm most proud of being
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: a part of a real team, real brotherhood, real friendship.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I think that's really cool, too. And I think it
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: shows in the way we play the chemistry and how
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: we kind of just fit off each other and the communication.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's really cool.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It is really cool. And I cannot wait for what's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about to unfold because this is just the beginning. But
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I also want to get into some fun stuff. Fat
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Boy Friday's. If you guys don't know about it, Dwayne
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Carter started this, what, was it a year and a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: half ago?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: This was Memorial Day last year.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Last year.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a little.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so like a year and a half almost.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a year and a half ago. Okay.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So Fridays, follow this guy on social media because you're
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: going to get some awesome recipes thrown your way, cooked
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: by yours truly over here.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: How did it come together and what has it turned
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: into now?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So I tell everybody, it's kind of funny. It started
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: as a joke. Me being, you know, I like social media.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I post, do all that. Yeah. So Memorial Day last year,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I told my wife, I said, babe, today I'm going
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to be a man. I'm going to go to the store.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be a man.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Get steaks, burgers, hot dogs, whatever it was. I was like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to grill. And we just moved into a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: new house around here. So I was like, it's the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: perfect time to bring out the grill. And I was like,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you know what? Let me record this. I need to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: document this. One, you'll get some feedback from some of
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the guys I know who do grill and cook. But two, like,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: all right, just throw it up. I hadn't posted in
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a while. Let's see what comes of it. And sure enough,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I think it did like 30,000 views. The first video
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I posted with my little terrible cap cut edits and everything.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, let's see where it goes.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: And now here we are. We got t-shirts, sweatshirts. Just
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: did my first like sponsored post. So I got a deal.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: And a couple of different deals that come in the works.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: So it's been pretty cool.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Very cool. What's the favorite recipe you've cooked thus far?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's very hard. It's very hard, but I think good ones.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I think last year I made a chicken pot pie
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and that was pretty cool because I had never like
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: baked anything. I usually, you know, I'm grill, stove top,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: all the simple things. I was like, I'm going to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: make a pot pie for whatever reason. I think I
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: saw it on TikTok. I was like, I can do this.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So I made chicken pot pie, but the top crust
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: was a red lobster, like cheddar bay biscuits, whatever they're called.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: And I made the biscuits from scratch. I had never baked.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I never did. I didn't, no, I didn't do any
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: of this. So that was my first time doing it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And it turned out, elite like the filling was pretty
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: easy to make um i could just get the pie
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: crust to cover the pan and the biscuits were actually
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: pretty easy i just didn't account for you know i
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: bred uh expands yes i forgot that so i covered
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the whole thing like way too much on top of
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the pot pie and i threw it in the oven
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and i was like it smells like something's burning oh
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: no and so i pulled the oven open real fast
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and see the thing expanding over the top over the
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: side like it was perfect perfectly cooked, but it was
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: just too much bread. So that's my only negative, but
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was, that was the best thing I made.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: There's no such thing as too much biscuit. Oh no.
• 23:42

  Speaker 2: Yeah. So we're, I mean, just keep expanding and growing.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's been pretty cool to have like a plan. Um,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: cause I kind of was winging it last year. So

• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Too, right?
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think, yeah.

  Speaker 1: the border in Crystal Beach.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to go. I'm going to go there.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: All right, that's something I'm going to do. So Maddie Matheson.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Who else? All these other people, you know, just anytime.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Sorry, back to the beginning. No, no.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: There's some great people to collab with in Buffalo. Speaking
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: of collabs, who are some of the best chefs on
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the team?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Man, I got to shout out, you know, Ray Davis.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: You know, that's my dog. Every time we do a video,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: numbers go through the roof.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: With Ray?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, go through the roof. And Ray has improved.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I remember last year he was talking to me about, like,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try and make ranch, but I don't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: really know how that's going to go. It's a little
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: bit scary.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: He has improved. When we first started, he was like,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not cooking it. I'm kind of here for the vibes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And now, last time we did a pasta, last time
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: we did a whole pasta sauce. It's pretty good. We've
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: done so many different things. Ray is like my partner
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: in crime when it comes to that stuff. Love it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: We even did a chicken wing sauce competition. And Ray
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: pulled up. He did not make a chicken wing sauce,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: but he did bring Paula's Donuts. So that was pretty cool.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And I think he just did a collab with them
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: So I got to go see Paul's too and see
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: if we can do a collab. Okay.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Ray, who else?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Ray, Mike Hoyt. We had a great one. He's elite.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Mike did, like, the whole KitchenAid pasta thing. Like, very serious.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know Mike. He's a very Ivy League guy.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Very smart. Very calculating the way he does things. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: his cooking, the same way. Very good. Osiris, my boy Saibo.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Saibo.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Saibo throws down. Like, we're Louisiana, Creole, like. That guy's elite.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Who else have I done with? Reed Ferguson. My dog Reed.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: We've never collabed yet, which is crazy. But all we
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: talk about is cooking.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: You've got to.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: So shout out Reed and his Grills Mafia Q42 people,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: all my people over here. I mean, the list goes on.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of talented guys over here.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are. You're rocking the Vey apparel. Speaking of clothes,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we wanted to hit the best fits from week three.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Shout out Ty.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Who did you like there? Which outfits did you enjoy
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: as they walked into the stadium?
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Like I said, you know, first off, I'm not going
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to include me, but I did like my sweatsuit this week.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: It was blue, top and bottom, comfy, cozy, stylish. And
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: your brother, Zane Durant, also did blue top, blue bottom, comfy, cozy.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You guys were twins.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It was unplanned.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Unplanned.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It was unplanned. So that was pretty cool, you know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to start the day off. But, you know, we got
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of strong dressers. So I'm going to start
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: off with IGB. He had the red leather jacket, like
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the denim, like flare type of jeans with the Louis
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: V belt, Louis V duffel bag, and he had the
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Louis V shoes on.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Ooh, yep.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: So that's a strong.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Rocking and rolling.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Strong, strong start. And then he went out there and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: bought out. True. So you look good, you feel good,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: you feel good, you play good. Prime example. I think
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: IGB was one. Travis Clayton, the Englishman, my boy from London,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: he had the Stranger Things hockey jersey. I had never
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: seen it in the leap piece. I think that was definitely,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I throw him up there. Yeah, it was cool. And
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: then we had, who was our last one?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Tight End.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Tight End, Dalton Kincaid. Y'all know him, y'all love him.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: King of the aura right there. He had the denim checkered.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, denim checkered fit, top and bottom matching.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Two-piece set. And I love a good two-piece set.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And he had the shades on walking in, too, with
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the little chain.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: And I always tell him, he has all the aura.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I tell him that every single day. So that just
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: added to it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: What is Dalton Kincaid's aura?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: It's just there.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: It's just there.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: It's just there. Every time I'm at, you know, being
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: an event in public and I'm around him, it's just
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the aura.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: The aura.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: All the 86 jerseys around. It's just the aura.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Everybody loves Dalton.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody loves DK, man.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Man, he's balling out, too.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: So many guys balling out to start the season. Okay,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I wanted to finish off with some fun rapid-fire questions.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Game week. Think about a game week. What's the most
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: important day for you in a game week?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Sitting very rapid fire. I'm going slow. It's okay. It
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: can be slow fire. Tuesday or Friday. Why?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: What happens on those days?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Recovery days. It's been huge for me in my routine,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: especially when I go to the player. Those are massage days,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: needling days, mental health days. Anything I need, those are
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: key for me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And you're a massage guy?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yes. Oh, Friday's also a haircut day.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, a haircut.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: That's why I got this hat on right now. It's
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: been a while, but I'll be back next Friday.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I love it. I said Dwayne Carter gets a couple
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: spa days a week.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, very much so.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: That's what you have to do as an NFL athlete, though.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Treat yourself.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: You've got to treat yourself so you can get ready
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: on Sunday.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: What's a hidden talent?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I can juggle.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: You can juggle.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I can juggle. I don't know if this is talent,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: but I know a lot of Disney songs.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite Disney song?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: It comes from all the, well, probably Camp Rock 2.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that movie?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I've seen Camp Rock 1, though.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Which song?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Camp Rock 2. Nick Jonas is singing to Demi Lovato.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Her name is Mitchie in the show or in the movie.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: And Demi was like, Oh, you know, I don't know
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: anything about you. This at a third. You're just like
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: some Hollywood guy. Like says dude comes out of nowhere.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: He's a guitar. And they're walking to, I guess, class.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: It'd be a camp or whatever. And it's called Introducing Me.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And it gives her the whole rundown about everything he likes,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: what he doesn't like. And that's like my peak song.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of close seconds, but that's like my go-to.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Do you want to sing a couple lines for the class? La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: It's kind of fast, though. It's like the chorus. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: sing my favorite part. Okay. Yes. He's like, I've never
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: trusted a dog to wash my food. And I like
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: to use the word dude as an ad or an
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: advert or an adjective. And I never really been into cars.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I like really cool guitars and superheroes. It takes for
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: lots of zeros on them. I love the sound of
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: violence and making someone smile. If you want to know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: here it goes. Let's see. I'm going to keep going.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I got to stop. I got to stop.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: That's really my song. I love that song. Take a bow.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Take a bow. That was so good.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: So Nick Jonas, when you see this. Pull up, man.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: New stage is pretty cool.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Collab with Dwayne. He wants to cook with you.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Let's collab. Fatboy Friday.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And sing with you.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Singing edition.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: That was so great.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: If you could go pro in something else, what would
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it be?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Baseball.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: That was very quick. Baseball.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Honestly, baseball was my first love.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say singing or cooking.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: That'd be cool too, but baseball. Honestly, baseball was my
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: favorite sport. What position did you play? First baseman, catcher. Nice.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And fun fact, not a lot of people know, I
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: was supposed to play both sports at Duke. Okay. And?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: And my freshman year was COVID. I had a red
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: shirt for football. Baseball team was really good. I was
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: going to red shirt for them, too. The world gets
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: shut down. And I was like, well, behind developmentally in everything.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: So I got to pick one. And, you know, I
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: pick where the scholarship money is.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you picked right, Dwayne, because you're playing in the NFL.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: A little birdie told me you enjoy reality TV.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: What shows are you watching?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: So this is my wife's fault.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: We love you, Amanda.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: This is my wife's fault. We watched the Love Islands.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: We watched the Married at First Sight. Love is Blind.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Age of Attraction. What's the other one I'm missing? We
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: just watched it. Oh, The Ultimatum. The Ultimatum is another one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Watch that one. But basically, you know, Love Island is
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: kind of like a viral thing. Love is Blind is
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: somewhat viral. But she just loves him.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And you love her.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: And I love her. And now I love them as well.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Happy wife, happy life.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Happy wife, happy life. Wow.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite one? Which one do you actually sit
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: down and you're like.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm down. Oh, Temptation Island 2. That's another one.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: That's a crazy one. That's a crazy one.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Any favorite characters on these shows?
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: So actually, Temptation Island, the cast last, this past season,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: they just dropped. There's a guy named Mikey on there.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: And we actually grew up around the same area. No way.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: So we kind of know each other. So he was
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: on the show. That was pretty crazy. But I think
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: my favorite one is either It was Love Island, but
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: last season irritated me. So, I'm going to go Age
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: of Attraction because I just think it's so funny.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I just think it's hilarious. These people are like, I'm
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: not going to say delusional, but they'll look at somebody
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: and somebody looks like they're 56 years old and they're like, well,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: what's your age? You'd be like, I'm 60. No way.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right. Maybe I'm delusional. I don't know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: But you're watching it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I am watching it. I watch it faithfully.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Dwayne, we love it. Thanks for sitting down with us
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and talking us through the defensive line start of the season,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: some food, and some singing. What else could we ask for?
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: This was the perfect episode.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Nothing else. I appreciate you having me. Yeah, of course.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Come back anytime. Maybe with Ray. We'll do the three
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of us. That would be fun.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: We might be here for a couple hours.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Okay. Just yapping away.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: So block it off.
• 33:50
