• 0:12
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's kind of just the thing that I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: started in college. You know.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It was it gets pretty hot down there in the South,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and that's just something I always rock with and I've
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: just always stuck with it. So it's something that stuck
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with me since mordern days.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Have you been able to convince any of your teammates
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to try it out? No, they don't like it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'll catch them in the locker room every now and then,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I see you, but they'll they'll have more
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: for a few menes, going to get some work obviously
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: in treatment room and things like that, but they won't
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: come out here and do I don't think they're that
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: bowl yet.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: What was your impression of the episode with the last night?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I love it. I loved it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's authentic. You know, I think it shows
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: who we are as a unit as a team.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Right. You know that things happen.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Out here on the football field obviously, uh as you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: saw in the episode, as I'm sure as a lot
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: of people know, things got controlled sometimes.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we all love
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: each other here. We're a team. We're brotherhood, and at
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it happens out here.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We go in the locker room, get out. You know, hey, man,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I apologize. You know, that would be on the line
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of what we're trying to go and what we're trying.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: To get and we move forward.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what we do really well here
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and that's a part that I think that's our advantage.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It goes no further than out here once it's doing
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this with everybody moves forward.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Have you ever managed to roam? No, I've tried multiple times.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That is like that is like a trying thing, Like
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that isn't just for that episode, Like me and Leo
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: do this at least once a week.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And uh, he's just a strong guy. Man. I love Leo.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Our connection is like very very unique. You know. He's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a guy who came.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: In when I was a rookie at the later part
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of my rookie year and just kind of just storming away.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: You know, He's kind of showed me the way up
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: my second yarbs. We played off each other a lot,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: had a lot of production off playing off Leo and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: man just to see the way he loves the game
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: at his age, the way he runs around on the field,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the way he hunts, the way he plays. I just
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: love everything about that because I see a lot of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that to myself. You know, we just have that desire,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that love, that fired, that heart for the game. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I think Leo he's my.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Guy man Pluve fishing, but he goes with spearfishing. He
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: won't take me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I've asked for two offseason now, Leo, take me spirit fish,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I've got you, d All, I'm gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: get with you, So make sure you put that on there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Tell Leo next offseason, take d Hall spearfish.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I want to go. Derek's guy.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yourself pretty young in this state to have like you got,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: like Leo, Marcus and Donte Power go Jeredary.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: All these letters put that in ks, I mean everything.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And I told those guys last week, I'm like, y'all
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: cannot leave until I'm done. So y'all need to figure
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: out another ten years of your career. But just been
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: able to have those guys in the room, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the veteran leadership. I mean, there's nothing in this game
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that they haven't seen. The hardest days, the lighter days,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, those are the guys that you lean on
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: when you have questions, you know, when you have concerns
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: about you know, what may come up or what what
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: they're presenting right here, or what do you think I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: can do here better?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know, just be able to have that veteran leadership.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's second or none, and we have a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: lot of that on this team, but specifically in the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: D line room. So it's it's it's second to them.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And though those guys are amazing, then you can you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: see Leo hooks.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: For a couple of years now, how often is he still?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So you can't do that? Like it seems like I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: gotta feel like all the time all the time. You
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: know that Piero.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Before the last one, we had the long drive period
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and we get all the way down the field and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Leo has been out there.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about running and gas and he just looks
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: as fresh as ever.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: He's shut down the last three plays for that period,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, bro, like, I know, it's what you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: do every day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But again, that just goes back to who.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: He is, you know, his fire, his desire to go
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: out and play this game at the host level. You know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: no matter the circumstances continue to show, even young guys
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: coming in and Rooks like, if I can do it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in year twelve, you should be able to do it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: no problem. So again that just speaks to who Leo
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and what he is as a player. Can you take
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: us through the truck and like, how you where you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: got it, how you got it all modified?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And how often do you drive? Yeah, the truck deal man,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that's that's my thing. I love it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I enjoy talking about it. But uh, that truck there,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that's a twenty twenty M twenty five hundred. I've had
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it for a couple of years. I built that truck
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: last offseason at my shop back in Mississippi.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It was brown with a brown and brown was polish
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: overlays is what it was.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And I got up here and I tore it apart
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: again obviously if you can go onto YouTube and go
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: watch it on Derek Hall Truck Productions. My guys up here,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: they did a lot of work. I was in season,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: but I was still hands on, so we tore that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: truck apart. One of the first few trucks that has
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that two torn powder cover, right, So you have that base,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that base color, which is the till and then that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: process is pretty unique because you spray the whole thing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: till and then you let that bake. You take it
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: out the oven, you have to spray everything white and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: then whatever you want to say too, you have to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: wipe that off. So it's like a lot of detail
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: going into that. And as far as driving the man,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I drive it every day. I drive that over everything else.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I drive it every day. I love it, I enjoy it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It's just truly who I am. You know, I have
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: tons of these things.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I love the trucks, I love the truck and lifestyle.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So it's truly am and I like to show people
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: what I do outside the ball and that's just my
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: life and being hands on with it, right, I mean,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I do it myself.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty unique part. Record camera I did,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I did, I did? I ran it over.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: They They was like, d hall, did you did you
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: feel something where you rolling? I'm like no, And then
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they showed me the camera and it was just smashed.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So that was I was like, dang, I apologize. They like, no,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's it's your Nigua's out there too. But I did
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: smash the camera.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Easy? Easy? Uh?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The I think the hardest part is you have to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: be rolling right obviously, because the tires are so heavy, right,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: so you can't just come from a stop and turn
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and back up, so you have to be moving and rolling.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: But for me, it's it's pretty easy to park. As
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: long as it got the height clearance. I can get
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to any parking spot.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And what's it from the part of you buy off
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the line to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, depending on how far you go, uh, but to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that level, the lift itself is probably about twenty thirty.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Grand, and you gotta get a powder coder.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Then you got wheels and all that, so you you'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: spend overs of sixty seventy grand, sometimes more if you
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: get into audio music interior, which I've done in some
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: other vehicles. But yeah, you can spend up the feat
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: sixty grand just lift wheels and tars.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Did you point the hydraulicsport?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I did, So it's not hy drop, it's it's our
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: air rode so it's the Kid's Airlift is the company
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that I use. And it's all remote controlled on my phone.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I got it in the truck as well, but I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like to use off my phone a lot when I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: out the truck. But it's all air ride, so the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Badger eight in to travel. Yeah, so that's pretty much it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: When you're in traffic, you just raise it up and.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It stays up pretty much. I'll lean it out sometimes
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: at the light, like just to see good people reactions.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'll look down next to them and I'll lean it
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: out and there'll be life. But uh, it's pretty cool.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'll drive it straight with it like that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes. Most of the time I just leave it up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: pretty much.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Are you grateful that The Heart Knocks is giving you
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a disability to show who you are outside of just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: when you're in the jersey.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Of I love it. I love it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's a big piece of what they're trying
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to do. And again, it just shows who we are
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: as a team. You know, what guys do outside of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: about a lot of people see us in this linelight
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that's perfecting at the least, and what we do on
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the field, and you know, these media.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Sessions and different things like that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So I think it's pretty cool just to be able
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to get out a feature on what we're doing outside
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: about you know, some people are bigger with their families,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: right Obviously, I'm not to that point in my career yet.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, some people do this, Some people do that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I love trucks. That's just me. Like I love trucks.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like I always will and that's just who
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I am in my heart.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So I love the opportunity that they're doing that not
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: only with me, but obviously my teammates as well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That you're really passionate about, like some pro athletes like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm all football at the time. But how important do
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you think it is to have that balance?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's huge, especially when you have the off
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: season in that break, right, I'm I'm a guy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like to sit around.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I like to keep moving. I'm always moving. Mom, tell
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: me you need to sit down somewhere. Sometimes I'm not
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: trying to hear that. You know, I'm gonna keep going.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: But uh well, I mean when you're in the off season, right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you go out your train. When I get on training,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'll go straight.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: To the shop.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And I think it's huge to have that secondary piece
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: outside of ball. You know, could you get so wrapped
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: up in this man and this this is who we
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: are you know at this point in our life, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you know this is what's obviously you know, in our
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: bills and you know, man just doing for our families
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and also known it for us before the organization as well,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, giving these fans opportunity to come out and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: see something great and something special.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: But it's huge to have something to do outside the ball.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, even on the off day,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: sometime my boy up and plum shout out to my guy,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: A drive up there, drive the truck, We do shoes,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: We hang out. You know, we may work on something
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: for a couple hours. I'll come back home, give me
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: some recovery, get ready to go to work the next day,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you know. So it's it's it's very important and very
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: unique to just be able to disconnect and step away
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and reflect on life outside the ball sometimes amazing, amazing
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: night and day. Obviously Rowdy didn't get a lot of opportunity,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you know, last year coming out their injury. But just
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the way he's grown and the way he's coming out
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: preparing every day, he's asking questions, Rowder is a.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Very very unique player.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think he's a lot like Leo if I'm being
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: honest with the power and then being able to play
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: off that manipula guys being able to give him a move,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: being able to hold double teams like Murphy. I mean,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: he's a very very unique player. I love what I'm
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: seeing and I think the Scots are limit for him.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Would you like watching him versus Mason Richmond last yesterday
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: A couple of times. That was huge? Man, that's that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That was huge.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I think just to get the younger guys out and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you know, our opportunity just to have that one on one,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you know, the lights on, you turn it on and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: see what you can do. But man, Raleigh, Roley's doing great,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Mason doing great, obviously. I mean, bro, this this entire team,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: we're just grinding. We're just taking one day at a time,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: putting our hair down.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: With grinding.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in here and watch the tape process,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: come back tomorrow and get back at it. So I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: think we're doing well as a team. But Roley Mills
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is really doing a really good job
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Day
