What's up, my man? It is the start of the NFL season officially Thursday. Right here. It is. It is. It is. And they started with a bang. Big game. Big game in LA. You know what else is big? Tell me. Big truss.

Who's big truss? You know, the new UK PM. Big truss. That anybody got a problem with them? Come see us. That's it. That's what we call in the big truss. Big truss. She's big truss. So anytime we refer to big truss, we know the deal, which I could see will happen quite soon now. But I'm gonna let that be. Yeah, they said she was walking around with a Cleveland Browns jersey apparently. Really? I heard it's viral. Yeah, I'm not sure about that choice of team. I mean, you know, I don't know if that bodes well for the UK. I mean,

you know, I mean, maybe it was at first, she was looking at a underdog. And then I think she's got to make better choices than that for the UK. What's she not up on the news? You know, current events. Not sure, Jay Bell. Not sure. But we're gonna give her a pass on that one. You would hope that she would be like a fan of maybe the New England Patriots. It's something like that team that has won so much. She would bring the winning mentality. Okay. Okay. Maybe there's something to be said about the underdog mentality.

Yeah, you know, and you just, and you rolling with that, you might not know about what's happened and who's there and whatever, but you just looking at the organization historically. You're thinking, I want to roll with the underdogs. Yeah. Are you excited for the season? I am, bro. I am very excited. Um, really happy for the first game. You know, you like to see great football. You like to see great matchups. We get that with the bills and the Rams. I just, you know, every year, the story lines are unique. We have such a good time talking about things that surround the game.

And all around the game. And I just, I have a feeling, man, we're going to be loaded with some good things to discuss this year with these teams, man, because I don't know what's going to go. I go on. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't even know who you really like. Yeah. Like you haven't really got into that. And you know, I don't force that out of you, because I know how you roll. Yeah. But I'm always interested in what in your perspective. Yeah. On things. And I want to throw something out. Okay. I like to throw things out. I want to throw something out.

Now there's coaching changes that happen in NFL. There's changes that happen in organizations that we all go to work for.

Man, sometimes there's changes in the people's household. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Things change all the time. It happens all the time.

And what I like, what I'd like to discuss is, you know, when there's a turnover, a change of events, a change of leadership, you hear the conversation say, oh,

things are so different now. Things are much better. I like coming to work. I like coming to practice. I like being on the field.

This is going to be better because this individual or individual walls, is that how you do individual walls?

Individual walls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I'm trying to be trying to be American, but it didn't work out.

Yeah. Yeah. Have been removed. I like to relate things to football. So we can throw this out. No, I really want to know how you feel.

The Vikings have a new head coach. Okay. Okay. Kevin's defense. I mean, sorry. Kevin O'Connor, right? My example was there.

Anybody who doesn't know, he's a hard-nosed coach, tough guy. And then you just hear the conversations out of there, like things are better.

I wanted to know your thoughts on that as a player, as a man, as a business owner. Like, how do you feel about that when it seems people are very quick to say this thing, this person has changed everything now that they're going.

Yeah. I think that that to me is usually some sort of cop out. I didn't think you were going to go there.

Yeah. I think in a lot of instances, it's a cop out because it is such a high performance business, right? A high performance environment, right?

And for one person to have that kind of influence where, oh, you know, now these people, now this guy is gone. Everything is going to change around here. I just don't really, I don't know if I buy into that completely.

I believe that it is more a function of the people.

Do you think because you are a leader and you aren't one to be swayed by a lot of people, things, you kind of walk to the beat of your own drum.

Yeah.

Do you think that's why your perspective is that way?
