0:00.0	Hello, how are you guys? We are good. Thanks for coming on. Oh, thanks for having me. I'm excited.
0:12.2	Are you in UC right now? I am. Yeah. Yeah. We have the day off. So it worked out pretty
0:16.9	perfectly. What do you do on a day off besides podcasting? Oh gosh. It just like depends. Honestly,
0:23.3	sometimes I do absolutely nothing and I don't leave the apartment or I do absolutely everything.
0:28.8	And I'm like running all my errands in one day and like not actually resting. So yeah,
0:35.4	I really know in between. I just saw a meme online and it was like on the times that I on the days
0:42.1	that I have nothing to do, I have to do all of the adult things that I keep pushing off. Like

1:52.7	been with Houston ever since. How do you feel like your game has changed a lot personally since you
1:57.5	started there? Well, obviously, positionally, it's changed, which I've loved. Like people always
2:06.0	assume that it was a negative and that I like really must be in a bit of a field. And you know,
2:10.4	there are things that I love about playing the six, but now that I'm wide playing fullback,
