Welcome to episode number two of the Cupply Fit podcast.

00:00:05.953 --> 00:00:11.132
We are going to be talking all things health, marriage and mindset.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.609
I'm really excited because we have our first guest on the Cupply Fit podcast.

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:19.207
So this is a big moment, right here and we have two big guests too.

00:00:19.207 --> 00:00:22.565
So I'm excited to be able to do the introductions First off.

00:00:22.565 --> 00:00:24.890
From the School of Champions, chandler High School.

00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:31.164
Also, alumni got to start there.

00:00:31.164 --> 00:00:31.606
We have Brett Hundley.

00:00:31.606 --> 00:00:32.228
We also have we have Khadijah.

00:00:32.228 --> 00:00:34.658
I'm going to do individual introductions because you both have such incredible stories.

00:00:34.658 --> 00:00:37.225
So, brett, I'm going to go back to the Chandler High School days.

00:00:37.286 --> 00:00:40.844
Being an All-American out of Chandler High School, four-star quarterback.

00:00:40.844 --> 00:00:42.186
Everybody wants to be the QB.

00:00:42.186 --> 00:00:45.433
I wish I could have been the quarterback, but the quarterback y'all.

00:00:45.433 --> 00:00:47.493
Going to UCLA.

00:00:47.676 --> 00:01:28.254
When we read some articles they said that some say that you revived the UCLA program from freshman year through your entire journey, going on to get drafted, being fifth round drafted to the Green Bay Packers, which is incredible, and then to be able to not only have a long career but go on and do things real estate, nonprofit, all of the above and as I segue because Khadijah, just as impressive and most people may not know this, but you know a couple of quotes here explosive speed and agility, and I'm talking track here for Khadijah coming out of Chandler High School, multiple district and state titles 100 meters, 200 meters, relay, team personal records.

00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:38.146
So that's incredible because there's so much to talk about with that, but also Texas Tech for track and field, which is come on, there we go, and also in real estate.

00:01:38.146 --> 00:01:41.569
So there's so much that you all are doing and it's incredible to have you.

00:01:41.569 --> 00:01:44.469
So we're very excited today to have you as our first guest.

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:45.481
Thank you.

00:01:45.522 --> 00:01:59.891
Yeah, we appreciate it, man, happy to be here and uh, this will be fun yeah, thanks for having us super excited so I feel like you know that kind of like the icebreaker we typically do icebreaker but I feel like, because I have a little insight here and it's like I'm like you know us.

00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:05.114
That's what I'm saying, that's what I you haven't known us for like almost 20 years, so it's like sure break the ice.

00:02:07.084 --> 00:02:15.274
Break the ice so as an icebreaker thinking back, you gave me a term earlier today spin the block.

00:02:15.274 --> 00:02:22.485
So there's a lot of people that might be trying to spin the block right now, that maybe saw somebody in high school that caught their eye.

00:02:22.485 --> 00:02:27.435
They're like, ooh, I would love to rekindle that thing that young thing or that old thing.

00:02:27.435 --> 00:02:28.616
I'll take the lead on this one.

00:02:28.616 --> 00:02:29.618
I'd love to hear it.

00:02:30.621 --> 00:02:31.527
Okay, it's not really.

00:02:31.527 --> 00:02:33.139
I guess it's been in the black.

00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:34.203
Like in high school.

00:02:34.203 --> 00:02:36.971
We used to kind of hang out at the park together.

00:02:37.401 --> 00:02:38.626
I got a kiss in high school.

00:02:38.626 --> 00:02:39.429
We kissed in high school.

00:02:41.649 --> 00:02:42.734
We never dated in high school.

00:02:42.734 --> 00:02:49.710
We never dated in high school, but we we kissed a couple times but, um, yeah, we went to college and stuff and then kind of went our separate ways.

00:02:49.710 --> 00:02:57.984
I lived in miami for almost 11, 12 years, so I was on that side of the world, honestly, and then he went to ucla and then went into football and stuff.

00:02:57.984 --> 00:03:06.381
So from the time of graduating in 2011 to the time that we actually re-entered, like re-entered each other's lives, was eight years actually.

00:03:06.381 --> 00:03:08.266
Wow, yeah, it was eight years.

00:03:08.266 --> 00:03:16.389
So social media obviously you start following each other and stuff like that, and I kind of had just seen that like he was traveling.

00:03:16.950 --> 00:03:22.860
I give my father-in-law credit because, it's his father-in-law is the only reason why the conversation even really opened.

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:29.084
And it's crazy because now his dad and I are like best friends we are best friends, like that's my dog to the curve now he's

00:03:29.104 --> 00:03:29.725
to the curve.

00:03:29.725 --> 00:03:30.347
It's crazy.

00:03:30.347 --> 00:03:37.667
It's crazy like that happens sometimes, but it's a good relationship with the in-laws yeah, no, it's phenomenal like me and his like.

00:03:37.706 --> 00:03:40.173
That's my dog like me and his dad.

00:03:40.173 --> 00:03:42.421
We talk every single day like that's my dog.

00:03:42.421 --> 00:03:47.067
But I just saw he was traveling and it was around the time that I was traveling.

00:03:47.067 --> 00:03:53.394
And when you see like someone kind of familiar that's kind of doing the same thing as you, you kind of get inquisitive, I guess, in a sense.

00:03:53.394 --> 00:04:01.826
And then he'd actually post a picture with his dad and him and that's what really sparks like all I literally said, I DM'd him and I said, oh, your dad.

00:04:01.847 --> 00:04:11.889
Okay, that's, it started the whole journey and it literally that was like the start of the journey, because you know once like someone dms you, yeah, then he's clicking on my page and he's like you, travel like you travel you.

00:04:12.371 --> 00:04:17.588
You know, like you know, clocking my t a little bit got the whole time literally.

00:04:17.588 --> 00:04:25.711
And then, um, I think I was somewhere in like the mediterranean ocean or something like I, I was like a drone jumping in, and then that was the first time he messaged me back.

00:04:25.711 --> 00:04:27.125
It was just kind of like, where are you?

00:04:27.125 --> 00:04:30.370
And I was like I'm in the middle of the ocean somewhere.

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:45.367
I can't remember off the top of my head where I was, but after that we just kind of started talking to each other and then, um then we met up at a bar one time and then I didn't see him for four months and it was perfectly fine because I was like, but it was such a cool like reconnective kind of thing.

00:04:45.367 --> 00:04:56.841
And then, uh, randomly enough, he had hit me up and was like I'm going to africa, like if you'd like to go to africa so this is so this is our first date it was a 28 day trip to africa.

00:04:57.182 --> 00:05:10.608
So he I'm like set the whole thing up literally, I mean a powerpoint, this man sent me a powerpoint of like nine countries it was was like airplane, airplane, hotel to whatever, and he was just like if you want to go, you can go, and me I'm like sure.

00:05:10.668 --> 00:05:16.129
Like I want to go Like you know, even if I go and do my own thing, I really entered it kind of like a friendship.

00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:24.291
You know, I knew like our first interaction after seeing each other after 80 years, I was like it was heavy and it was nice and it felt familiar and I was like still like wow, like brett, you know.

00:05:24.291 --> 00:05:33.935
But when we went we ended up spending 28 days together and then after we spent an extra two weeks together because he came back to miami with me so we went to miami first time, really.

00:05:33.975 --> 00:05:46.670
So we spent a month and a half together from our first official date and we were together 24 7 and it basically now we're married when you can travel with somebody you know, yeah, yeah but it's crazy like the one.

00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:53.379
If it wasn't for his dad and I don't even think his dad really knows like I don't think we've ever told him that, but if I hadn't seen his dad maybe we did, I don't know.

00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:56.096
But yeah, if it wasn't for his dad I wouldn't have even said anything.

00:05:56.136 --> 00:05:57.862
It wasn't even anything slick like, hey, what's up?

00:05:57.901 --> 00:06:04.052
it was literally like all your dad, but you know I was looking cute or whatever, so it kind of helped.

00:06:04.052 --> 00:06:08.552
But now we're now we're best friends and we're just traveling the world together, we're living our lives.

00:06:08.552 --> 00:06:14.872
But it's so crazy social media and just life and how I really ended up with somebody that I've known for 25 years.

00:06:14.911 --> 00:06:31.007
To be honest with you, I've known him since I was six years old when we joined the cheetah track team oh my gosh, I didn't went that far back yeah I was six years old, it's been far, and now we're about to be 32 I gotta show you guys, and I don't know if you can cut it on here, but like I have a photo of us in high school and like sophomore year high school.

00:06:31.007 --> 00:06:33.153
Like it goes deep, like it's deep.

00:06:33.153 --> 00:06:34.920
I love it oh yeah, it's awesome.

00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.553
So I guess spin the block yes spin the block and travel.

00:06:38.593 --> 00:06:44.689
Bring it back, travel, but split the block and test if the block is worth continuing okay, that part, that, that part, that part.

00:06:44.689 --> 00:06:46.533
But I planted the seed and he watered it.

00:06:46.533 --> 00:06:56.502
So now we're married and we're almost coming up on our one-year anniversary of being married and it was probably one of the best decisions of my life because I got to marry my best friend and now we just travel the world and it's amazing, yeah.

00:06:56.521 --> 00:06:57.742
That's my version.

00:06:57.802 --> 00:06:58.302
I love it.

00:06:58.302 --> 00:07:04.148
I'm going to tell the same thing Because we have two different versions, so I'm glad y'all have the same one.

00:07:04.487 --> 00:07:05.447
I have the right one.

00:07:05.447 --> 00:07:07.569
You have the right one, I have the right one.

00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:11.833
But yes, gosh, there's so many questions, but I know you have one, go ahead.

00:07:12.653 --> 00:07:15.495
So well, I just had two things.

00:07:15.495 --> 00:07:25.043
Well, one thing that I just want to say to the people that are listening, and it's that don't be afraid, even if it's for the lady to send a DM or to reach out if you're interested.

00:07:25.043 --> 00:07:29.749
I feel like we've progressed so much to where, if you didn't say, oh my, and it doesn't have, to be like it was platonic.

00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:30.490
It wasn't thirsty.

00:07:30.490 --> 00:07:31.091
Yeah, that's what.

00:07:31.130 --> 00:07:33.995
I'm saying it wasn't thirsty, but it was enough of a signal like oh my gosh, you're dad.

00:07:33.995 --> 00:07:35.555
Oh, you're dad, yeah.

00:07:35.555 --> 00:07:41.101
And it just put and then I'm sure.

00:07:41.101 --> 00:07:42.083
So tell me about the scrolling.

00:07:42.083 --> 00:07:42.803
What did you see?

00:07:42.803 --> 00:07:43.985
So you're on the other end.

00:07:45.346 --> 00:07:49.531
I'm like oh, khadijah wow, haven't seen her in years, talk to her.

00:07:49.531 --> 00:07:55.016
And then I, this is the match made in heaven right here, because I'm like, wow, she's traveling, like, and in my mind I there was not.

00:07:55.016 --> 00:08:04.154
You know, I'm traveling solo and I'm like, wow, she is like, she was ahead of me in countries like traveling, traveling, and I was like, wow, I need to step my game up.

00:08:04.154 --> 00:08:27.687
And then, you know, sure thing, one thing led to another and uh, now we're here, but yeah, it was, it was, it was the coolest like, it was sort of just like when two things meet at the right time, right place, same sort of things, we're into traveling, life, like it was, it just matched, and you sort of get that like all right, this is, this is actually like really like best friends, honestly.

00:08:27.767 --> 00:08:31.288
Yes, yeah, and we said that on our last episode too.

00:08:31.288 --> 00:08:35.932
We just mentioned like that is kind of the foundation we feel like for any marriages.

00:08:35.932 --> 00:08:54.143
You guys have to be best friends, you have to like the person, you have to like to travel with them, you have to like being around them and like that on, like a basic foundation you can build so much from there I will speak on the, the friendship thing, and I think that that's something that's even helped us through like not even arguments because we don't even really argue, we just you have a conversation, you get over it.

00:08:54.182 --> 00:09:11.729
But I remember, I remember fundamentally like he's my friend, like I like I might not like him sometimes or I might not even love him, so I'm like, oh, he gets under my skin, but I'm like the companionship and the friendship we have is like nothing I've experienced and like that's my dog, like he's my friend and I want to talk to him as such and I want to figure it out.

00:09:11.729 --> 00:09:18.673
And I feel like that foundation that we laid, just real, true friendship and spending that quality time together, has really just kind of like gotten us here.

00:09:18.673 --> 00:09:20.046
Now that was six years ago.

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.004
So so, yeah, time goes so fast, like especially having fun.

00:09:31.004 --> 00:09:34.219
Yes, exactly exactly, and not to segue too much, but I did want to touch on the travel because you mentioned being ahead in countries.

00:09:34.239 --> 00:09:34.902
Yes, how many countries.

00:09:34.902 --> 00:09:37.936
Yeah, how many countries we're even now, but it's even because of me?

00:09:38.177 --> 00:09:46.273
we're not even because I I planned all that travel last year and I sacrificed the fact that I was ahead of him because we're at 65.

00:09:46.273 --> 00:09:47.115
We're each.

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.566
We're each at 65 countries, okay.

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.576
We've both, each personally, been to 65 countries.

00:09:50.596 --> 00:09:50.818
Incredible.

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:54.686
But last year I planned a lot of the travel and we went to 28 countries.

00:09:54.706 --> 00:09:57.291
She planned all the travel I planned Not even Thank you.

00:09:57.291 --> 00:09:58.173
Thank you for giving my flowers.

00:09:58.173 --> 00:10:00.413
I planned all the travel you planned.

00:10:00.413 --> 00:10:01.995
He didn't even plan one flight.

00:10:02.014 --> 00:10:04.176
He was showing up in the airport, like where are we going.

00:10:04.375 --> 00:10:10.738
I'm like cambodia, I love that I'm like but, but I, I was like instead of you.

00:10:10.738 --> 00:10:14.879
I mean, of course it's gonna be a complication, uh, competition a little bit at first, because it was like cute, whatever.

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.062
But we're trying to get to 100.

00:10:16.062 --> 00:10:21.806
So I'm like, yes, I gotta like there's some places I've been like I'm gonna sacrifice, instead of it always being like we need to go someplace.

00:10:21.806 --> 00:10:22.706
I haven't been so.

00:10:22.706 --> 00:10:27.977
When we touch europe, I had when, when we first started dating, I had already gone everywhere in europe.

00:10:27.977 --> 00:10:31.866
So when we went to europe this last year, he got those.

00:10:31.866 --> 00:10:33.309
He barely got those countries.

00:10:33.309 --> 00:10:34.172
So that's when he started.

00:10:34.172 --> 00:10:35.644
I think he collected like 18.

00:10:35.644 --> 00:10:38.916
He was like 16, 18 behind me, but that's it.

00:10:38.916 --> 00:10:39.698
That's the reason why.

00:10:39.778 --> 00:10:47.240
But also, we just need to go back to Africa and really deep dive into Africa.

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:54.645
And then also like Russia is kind of like because we did, like we went to like Lithuania, norway, denmark, we went everywhere last year.

00:10:54.645 --> 00:10:58.350
Now it's just more so like the weird place, like the weird harder places.

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:07.274
It's like we got to hit Lithuania, but like it's not like a place where you're like you know let's go to Lithuania, or even Riga we went to.

00:11:07.293 --> 00:11:07.514
Riga.

00:11:09.306 --> 00:11:09.667
It's Latvia.

00:11:09.687 --> 00:11:10.349
Something like that.

00:11:10.349 --> 00:11:11.985
We just like spent 24 hours.

00:11:11.985 --> 00:11:17.427
We're like, okay, go around, eat some food.

00:11:17.427 --> 00:11:17.927
I love that.

00:11:17.927 --> 00:11:18.729
Check, check, you know?

00:11:18.729 --> 00:11:20.350
Yes, even Bosnia.

00:11:20.350 --> 00:11:22.875
We went to random places, but that's how he caught up.

00:11:22.875 --> 00:11:25.057
But we're collectively both each at 65.

00:11:25.057 --> 00:11:26.559
That is incredible.

00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:32.471
Okay, so now for both of you what is, or which has been your favorite country to go to?

00:11:32.471 --> 00:11:33.312
You go first.

00:11:33.653 --> 00:11:41.666
Yeah, so this one, actually the ones we've been to together, barcelona by far for me, barcelona is in.

00:11:41.706 --> 00:11:42.087
Spain.

00:11:42.087 --> 00:11:47.945
It's a place that I can and will we will call home, like that's our home.

00:11:47.945 --> 00:11:53.609
But my favorite I've ever been to this was I actually went on a solo trip here so we got to go.

00:11:53.609 --> 00:11:56.025
Still, it's South Island, new Zealand.

00:11:56.025 --> 00:12:00.230
I took an RV van and did 14 days solo just driving South Island.

00:12:00.230 --> 00:12:08.124
It was the greatest trip I have like the craziest, most beautiful picturesque location I've ever experienced.

00:12:08.124 --> 00:12:12.219
Like I would tell anybody if you can go to new zealand, go like a trip of my time.

00:12:13.763 --> 00:12:14.585
Yeah and uh.

00:12:14.585 --> 00:12:16.408
Switzerland as well, switzerland.

00:12:16.408 --> 00:12:17.753
I heard just like switzerland's up there too.

00:12:17.773 --> 00:12:19.905
But switzerland's a bit expensive, I think it is.

00:12:19.905 --> 00:12:20.187
It's.

00:12:20.187 --> 00:12:21.671
It's like you get in and you get out.

00:12:21.671 --> 00:12:25.791
You go snowboarding, you see a couple things, you leave but leave, but like New Zealand, you can spend some time.

00:12:25.791 --> 00:12:27.182
I would personally say we.

00:12:27.182 --> 00:12:32.787
Actually I would either pick Bali, because Bali is just amazing, or we recently went to, was it?

00:12:32.787 --> 00:12:36.508
Juvangestad, it's like five hours outside of Oslo in Norway.

00:12:36.508 --> 00:12:39.530
Okay, it's where they have like Trolltuga, you know where you like.

00:12:39.530 --> 00:12:43.173
Walk out onto the cliff and it's like very picturesque, like yeah, we did a 12.

00:12:43.192 --> 00:12:49.217
We did a 12-hour hike over there and that was like yeah, it was the most grueling hike we've ever it took us 12 hours.

00:12:49.238 --> 00:12:52.225
It wasn't even supposed to be 12 hours, but it was.

00:12:52.225 --> 00:12:54.110
It was hiking and climbing we was.

00:12:54.191 --> 00:12:55.232
It was hiking in um.

00:12:55.232 --> 00:12:55.964
What do you call that?

00:12:55.964 --> 00:12:56.547
Via ferrata?

00:12:56.547 --> 00:12:56.970
Where you where?

00:12:56.990 --> 00:13:03.346
you where you climb the mountain and you're just on a string and you're like climbing wires you guys ever like start somewhere, like it's like all right, yeah, we're gonna go on a hike.

00:13:03.346 --> 00:13:04.548
It's gonna be a couple hours.

00:13:04.788 --> 00:13:10.403
Yeah, man, 12 hours the sign up was nine hours and then it ended up being 12 hours.

00:13:10.403 --> 00:13:12.432
But it was also like so we got to pick.

00:13:12.432 --> 00:13:14.902
It was like, either you pick like a medium version, you pick an expert.

00:13:14.902 --> 00:13:17.447
He's like, oh, we're experts.

00:13:17.447 --> 00:13:21.302
Like the entry time was nine hours and I'm like, okay, whatever I can do.

00:13:21.302 --> 00:13:26.333
Like nine, ten hours, but like when it was all said and done, it was 12 hours, like 7 am until 7 pm.

00:13:26.333 --> 00:13:30.288
We did not get back down to base camp, but imagine like hiking, climbing.

00:13:30.288 --> 00:13:38.392
But I still think that time that we got to spend at the hotel that we were at it was like literally the most breathtaking experience of my life.

00:13:38.392 --> 00:13:44.496
Like it was so peaceful and the people were just so nice and the waterfalls and it was like cold and I don't know.

00:13:44.496 --> 00:13:45.360
It was just so great.

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.562
Like I loved norway.

00:13:46.562 --> 00:13:47.905
I want to go back so bad.

00:13:47.926 --> 00:14:01.077
I want to go back so bad, but that hike man uh, y'all by the end of it, man, because these was over you're carrying the like, think so, like, because the thing that?

00:14:01.097 --> 00:14:06.788
because, like I said, we were climbing so that thing that was, that was connected I was like my hip and the guy's like.

00:14:07.149 --> 00:14:09.094
He's like, yeah, I got this ibuprofen.

00:14:09.094 --> 00:14:10.403
I'm like where is it from?

00:14:10.403 --> 00:14:11.365
He's like Russia or something.

00:14:11.365 --> 00:14:12.106
I'm like man, I don't see that.

00:14:12.126 --> 00:14:12.748
A little too strong.

00:14:12.748 --> 00:14:16.265
Yeah, I don't know about that, I don't know about that, but it was grueling.

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.783
You're not going to, so don't do me like that.

00:14:26.783 --> 00:14:35.784
Okay, we're in the snow, like imagine we're on top of the mountain in the snow, so like you got up so high that you start in the where the water starts and you end in the snow, like that's how high we were climbing I still think it was the most amazing trip that we've ever taken and it was amazing.

00:14:35.784 --> 00:14:41.342
But, um, and egypt, I actually liked egypt a lot, just more so, because who doesn't want to see the pyramids?

00:14:41.342 --> 00:14:42.505
But I don't know, don't know.

00:14:42.525 --> 00:14:43.148
I could go on and on.

00:14:43.148 --> 00:14:43.970
The world is beautiful.

00:14:43.970 --> 00:14:46.866
Go Go see it If you can go see the world.

00:14:46.866 --> 00:14:58.232
So, interesting enough, I've got a question about one of the places that you said you love, which was Bali, because I saw a TikTok video that talked about spiders in Bali and it was discouraging for me.

00:14:58.232 --> 00:15:00.344
I know what you're talking about no Australia has spiders.

00:15:00.404 --> 00:15:01.628
I'll destroy y'all heist of spiders.

00:15:01.628 --> 00:15:05.419
But you've seen the TikTok video with all the spiders everywhere it's like we've never.

00:15:06.063 --> 00:15:06.807
We've never experienced it.

00:15:06.827 --> 00:15:11.607
I've been to Bali eight times and I've never once seen, you never saw, a spider size of a baseball.

00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:25.850
I wouldn't be there he doesn't do spiders as big and strong as my baby is, he don't do spiders, spiders mice mouse no she sent me the video and I was like, is this what they don't tell you?

00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:26.991
No, no, no, they're lying.

00:15:26.991 --> 00:15:28.815
I was like we didn't get around it Never seen it.

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:29.985
That was on the outskirts.

00:15:30.541 --> 00:15:31.745
That was somewhere we ain't never been.

00:15:31.745 --> 00:15:34.166
That was a different terrain.

00:15:34.326 --> 00:15:36.025
I know we're not going.

00:15:36.025 --> 00:15:37.681
Oh my gosh.

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:57.289
The other thing that comes to my mind that I love and I feel like the story you just told kind of leads into this so perfectly um, there's probably only like the one percent of couples that could sign up for a nine hour excursion that's 26 hours and not have to be like air vac yeah, like literally shut it down.

00:15:57.471 --> 00:16:11.024
somebody come get me in the jeep and let's ride back down to to camp, like that would be most people To have the mindset, obviously former NFL athlete, track athlete and doing things at an extremely high level collegiately as well.

00:16:11.024 --> 00:16:18.070
How does that former athlete in you still kind of like stay alive today?

00:16:18.070 --> 00:16:20.759
Cause I feel like that came alive in that moment over those 12 hours.

00:16:21.150 --> 00:16:40.990
I feel like it's more of like I'm gonna be, I'm gonna speak for me when you, when you are with someone, like as a man, that is like strong and like he's one he was, he's super supportive too, cause I'm not going to lie Like it did get grueling after a while you have to think 26 miles is a lot, like it was a lot.

00:16:41.011 --> 00:16:44.888
But um the our first date we did the petra hike, but it was like that one was hard and we did the hike of masada in jordan and those two alone were like three, four, five hours.

00:16:44.888 --> 00:16:48.706
So we'd already kind of tested the water so it was like but imagine your first date that's.

00:16:48.706 --> 00:16:53.139
I'm looking over him, like you know, but he wasn't like hurry up.

00:16:53.198 --> 00:16:57.581
Yeah, he was like he was more like you got this and I'm like you know what, like I feel like I'd do anything with him.

00:16:57.581 --> 00:16:59.250
We've been bungee jumping shark diving.

00:16:59.250 --> 00:17:02.360
We've done all these things because I'm like one he's not going to clown on me.

00:17:02.549 --> 00:17:11.818
And two like who doesn't want to make those experiences with you, know, and plus, I'm a daredevil myself, but also too like when a man makes you feel like less than when you're doing it, it's going to lie.

00:17:11.818 --> 00:17:13.400
Like my hip was out of there.

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.981
I might as well have had man my.

00:17:15.021 --> 00:17:34.441
My hip was out of there, and he was he just like yeah, we can laugh about it now, but in the moment I was like man, I felt like a nerve was pinching and he was just like you know what baby you got it and he would just slow down with me and but again you got to think like 12 hours of just like upward and then down.

00:17:34.441 --> 00:17:37.843
You're still going like up, down, up, down, up, down it just, and you're freezing cold.

00:17:37.883 --> 00:17:43.405
It was probably 20 degrees out there too, so in the altitude and, like I, have asthma as well.

00:17:43.445 --> 00:17:45.346
So he, but again he was like you know what baby you got it.

00:17:45.346 --> 00:17:51.607
I'm like you know what you fight as hell and I'm like you're right, just because you're looking like that, cheering me on.

00:17:51.607 --> 00:18:01.785
I got it it's nothing like having somebody could hype you up like through all of the dumbest crap you're gonna do in your life, even whatever it is so like keep you holding it down for real.

00:18:01.785 --> 00:18:02.329
So it makes a lot.

00:18:02.329 --> 00:18:03.434
It makes it easy for me.

00:18:03.434 --> 00:18:03.675
That's.

00:18:03.997 --> 00:18:15.314
That's what I can speak on I think I think it's perfect because, like for myself, very active, she's very active, very fit in shape, keeps me in shape, um, and I think it's cool that we can like do things like this.

00:18:15.314 --> 00:18:19.182
You know most, you know the man might go on a 12-hour hike.

00:18:19.182 --> 00:18:22.438
She's been through every adventure I've been on.

00:18:22.438 --> 00:18:22.980
She's been on.

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:27.320
So we don't like shark diving in Cape Town, south Africa.

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:29.598
We were in there together.

00:18:29.829 --> 00:18:38.106
Big, old white, green, white shark, I'm like ah, in there together Like bungee jumping in Zimbabwe, in the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, zimbabwe and the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.

00:18:38.106 --> 00:18:39.378
Right there Took a shot of tequila.

00:18:39.682 --> 00:18:40.228
Jumped off the bridge.

00:18:40.750 --> 00:18:41.713
Gone Like.

00:18:41.713 --> 00:18:43.635
That's the cool part about it.

00:18:43.635 --> 00:18:48.058
Even snowboarding, I like to think I'm an avid snowboarder.

00:18:48.058 --> 00:18:53.796
She learned in a day and was there with me going down blacks.

00:18:53.856 --> 00:18:55.957
That's the stuff he taught me.

00:18:55.957 --> 00:18:57.174
He taught me in 45 minutes.

00:18:57.174 --> 00:18:58.057
He gave me a lesson.

00:18:59.153 --> 00:19:05.082
Let me say this if she wasn't athletic and and in shape and fit, like it wouldn't work, you know.

00:19:05.082 --> 00:19:12.499
So like for us to both be in that position still young, healthy, energetic, athletic and stuff like that, with that background, like we can do.

00:19:12.499 --> 00:19:17.741
It's fun being able to go and travel with each other because we can do everything together yeah, I'm so down.

00:19:18.906 --> 00:19:20.152
I probably shouldn't be, but I am.

00:19:20.152 --> 00:19:21.494
No, I love that.

00:19:21.816 --> 00:19:26.316
Again the stories, the adventures that you guys have you'll be able to tell your kids later on in life.

00:19:26.316 --> 00:19:27.641
So that's fantastic.

00:19:27.641 --> 00:19:34.977
So now, what do you do on a daily basis to, kind of like, keep yourself in shape, whether that's your nutrition, or I know you said yoga for you, right.

00:19:34.977 --> 00:19:36.179
Do you like to go to yoga classes?

00:19:36.179 --> 00:19:39.563
Like, what do you do on a day-to-day to be able to do that 26 hour hike?

00:19:40.003 --> 00:19:44.230
um, he's, uh, so he he works out a lot, to be honest with you.

00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:57.521
Every morning he's up at 5, 30 like he hits the gym, he's eating yoga, he's always taking people up on things, and then I just I'm more of an 11 am kind of workout, but I also very much so like I was in nutrition and fitness and all that stuff too, so like like I cook all of our food.

00:19:57.521 --> 00:20:02.269
So I always try to do like a spin on delicious food but also like on the healthier side.

00:20:02.269 --> 00:20:08.136
So we just kind of look out for each other and then he motivates me, I motivate him and it's just kind of game a game of tennis, to be real with you.

00:20:08.277 --> 00:20:13.816
Yeah, honestly, like it works perfect Cause, yeah, I'm five, five, 30 up running two miles.

00:20:13.816 --> 00:20:16.461
Hit the gym Wednesdays, get my yoga in.

00:20:16.461 --> 00:20:26.752
Maybe Saturdays too, hot yoga, uh, radiate, shout out to you because that's, that's my studio out here um love it, but, uh, but honestly, like it works, perfect, because I am like one thing I'm not.

00:20:26.752 --> 00:20:30.403
I love cooking and we could touch on it, but like I'm huge, I'm not.

00:20:30.403 --> 00:20:32.053
I'm terrible at cooking healthy food.

00:20:32.534 --> 00:20:34.458
It's not it's not in my soul.

00:20:34.458 --> 00:20:35.661
He cooks for 10 people.

00:20:35.661 --> 00:20:40.878
I'm a two person cook and he's a 10 person cook, so he's the cook out and I'm the cook in yes, you know what I mean.

00:20:40.878 --> 00:20:45.557
That's the easiest way to like so I'm a very good, two like two portion kind of cooker.

00:20:45.576 --> 00:20:46.721
So and I've had to.

00:20:46.721 --> 00:20:51.633
I I didn't even know new, even playing in the nfl and stuff you're we just can take.

00:20:51.633 --> 00:20:54.016
I mean you can eat damien, or anything when you're working out like that.

00:20:54.016 --> 00:21:02.747
I didn't understand nutrition until I got to be around her and also when I retired I realized I can gain weight a little faster than when I was playing.

00:21:02.747 --> 00:21:05.055
So it works perfectly that I don't.

00:21:05.055 --> 00:21:09.797
You know, my dad eats a lot of sweets which got passed to me, so I try to stay away from the sweets.

00:21:09.797 --> 00:21:12.799
But like she cooks the healthy food, I eat it and it works perfect.

00:21:13.210 --> 00:21:18.538
Yeah, he doesn't, he's just, he takes the autopilot, he just chills and I'm just like this is what we're making.

00:21:18.538 --> 00:21:23.289
I'm challenging myself more to cook so.

00:21:23.289 --> 00:21:24.531
I like making things from scratch.

00:21:24.531 --> 00:21:25.673
Now I'm like how does it taste?

00:21:25.673 --> 00:21:26.214
Tell me what it is.

00:21:26.214 --> 00:21:27.778
We have a grade scale, it's like 1 to 10.

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:30.622
Oh, it's 8.9, or it's a 9.

00:21:30.662 --> 00:21:32.204
I love it because I'm like what does it need?

00:21:32.204 --> 00:21:36.115
More paprika, give me a little less salt like whatever, but.

00:21:36.115 --> 00:21:41.805
I, I'm, I already am in love with food and I already like studied food and, like I said, the nutrition side.

00:21:41.805 --> 00:21:49.160
So like it was easy to kind of get him on it Now he just eats whatever I push in front of him and, to be honest with you, oh, my gosh.

00:21:49.851 --> 00:21:54.772
So many similarities and what I and when we talked about this on the last episode.

00:21:54.772 --> 00:21:59.160
But we talk about being equally yoked yeah being so important, but that's what we hear.

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:01.703
That's a commonality and the similarity is the friendship.

00:22:01.703 --> 00:22:03.366
Yeah, you guys are both athletes.

00:22:03.366 --> 00:22:06.741
You guys are both active, both adventurous what about y'all?

00:22:06.761 --> 00:22:09.009
y'all got the same thing right on your board.

00:22:09.009 --> 00:22:11.817
You guys are the same thing exactly.

00:22:11.857 --> 00:22:16.612
We appreciate that so much because it's it's so rare, especially nowadays.

00:22:16.612 --> 00:22:21.563
I feel like the examples that you see, I feel like every week it's like somebody bites the dust, you know what.

00:22:21.623 --> 00:22:21.823
I mean.

00:22:22.109 --> 00:22:24.521
You're like man, it's supposed to be Will and Jada Like, oh man, it's going to be.

00:22:24.521 --> 00:22:26.615
You know, people are like it's going to be Cardi and Offset.

00:22:26.635 --> 00:22:28.555
It's going to be so-and-so, and it's like dang, they're not together.

00:22:28.575 --> 00:22:29.076
No, more.

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:35.200
Like what happened, so amazing.

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:46.267
Something that came to me, though, that that you touched on was cause I felt that on the gaining weight after ball and also like people don't realize in in it's, sport is, in general, cause each of us all played.

00:22:46.267 --> 00:22:47.728
You know sports at a high level.

00:22:47.728 --> 00:22:49.030
D played volleyball as well.

00:22:49.030 --> 00:22:51.278
What was it like for you?

00:22:51.278 --> 00:23:02.323
But I want to hear from both of you once sport ended, because starting at the cheetahs at six years old and being in sports and football at a very young age, that's and for you, going professionally, you had a professional career.

00:23:02.323 --> 00:23:10.663
So it's like I know 5, 30 am being a pro athlete every day of my life and that routine for 20 plus years.

00:23:10.683 --> 00:23:13.718
Like this is like all of my so what was that journey like?

00:23:13.798 --> 00:23:18.636
right once you know transitioning out of football uh, I think the biggest thing is the routine.

00:23:18.636 --> 00:23:22.215
Uh, for me, idle time will get you in trouble.

00:23:22.215 --> 00:23:26.813
So, like for me, I had to figure out, like, what my routine was going to be outside of football.

00:23:26.813 --> 00:23:31.516
You know, in the offseason in nfl they don't really tell you what to do, so you still have to figure out a routine.

00:23:31.516 --> 00:23:43.460
But then once you're done with football I mean at that point it's the first time in your life you're sitting around like man, like nobody's telling me what to do, where to be, when to train, and you don't have somebody telling you how to train, what workouts to do.

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:47.601
So, like to figure that out, especially in the nutrition or health side of things.

00:23:47.601 --> 00:23:53.182
It was I remember I was, you know, playing football 220, 12% body fat, like always.

00:23:53.182 --> 00:24:03.980
And then I remember there was one off season and I'm'm gonna tell this story because I'm not gonna let her live no, no, no, I got up to like 238.

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:06.549
I was feeling really bad about myself, okay, he wasn't feeling bad about himself.

00:24:06.691 --> 00:24:07.757
He was eating donuts every day.

00:24:07.856 --> 00:24:13.758
Don't even do that this is the first time I was like you know, I'm just gonna see what my body can do, you know I was eating everything.

00:24:13.758 --> 00:24:19.056
I was eating everything she she wanted to call me fat one day.

00:24:19.076 --> 00:24:20.298
I did not, I made a joke.

00:24:20.298 --> 00:24:22.261
I made a joke, okay.

00:24:22.301 --> 00:24:23.163
That joke hit hard.

00:24:24.272 --> 00:24:25.140
You want to know what I did.

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:25.320
It hit.

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:30.682
I was, like you know, baby that's all I did.

00:24:30.930 --> 00:24:32.678
I was like now you're calling me fat.

00:24:32.849 --> 00:24:33.471
And then tell me why.

00:24:33.471 --> 00:24:44.645
He did a crash diet and lost 20 pounds, literally like this Went down diet and lost 20 pounds, literally like this went down to 217, I kid you not within weeks, because he was eating like 800 to 1200 calories a day.

00:24:44.665 --> 00:24:44.906
What are you?

00:24:44.906 --> 00:24:45.288
What are you doing?

00:24:45.288 --> 00:24:49.777
Because I was just I didn't call him fat.

00:24:49.857 --> 00:24:50.798
It's always like that.

00:24:50.878 --> 00:24:53.243
It's always like that listen his perspective.

00:24:53.243 --> 00:24:55.414
That's his perspective is his reality you know what I?

00:24:55.414 --> 00:24:57.019
Mean he never lets me live it down.

00:24:57.019 --> 00:25:01.904
But now we know, and I know to never joke with him in that manner ever again, because I was.

00:25:01.904 --> 00:25:03.089
It was like he was a teenager again.

00:25:03.089 --> 00:25:05.505
I'm like we are like two matchsticks rubbing together right now.

00:25:05.505 --> 00:25:07.574
Get some meat on your bones like what are you what?

00:25:07.634 --> 00:25:14.616
are you doing like there's way too many muscles in this bed, like I need you to go get a little bit more weight on you, because he legit would be like, oh, I'm not hungry, I'm like you've been eating.

00:25:14.616 --> 00:25:16.921
In two days he would go on water, water.

00:25:16.921 --> 00:25:20.913
You know the cleanses I do for 72 hours and I'm like what are you doing?

00:25:21.093 --> 00:25:26.487
like it's oh, and I'm in nutrition he would google.

00:25:26.487 --> 00:25:41.423
He would web md himself into a coma if he could like after that moment, my mindset shift okay, and it was like I need to figure out what I'm gonna do, working out wise, but I would say, too, like it was a good moment, like for me to like just test the waters and see, and especially you work out your whole life.

00:25:41.423 --> 00:25:42.327
It was like let me take a break.

00:25:42.367 --> 00:25:52.563
Yeah, let me enjoy myself 100, but then like you also, I I had to realize like my enjoyment is in working out, like I like working, I like waking up and getting in my routine.

00:25:52.563 --> 00:25:56.535
Like if I don't have a routine, things feel off like I don't.

00:25:56.535 --> 00:26:02.656
I don't wake up in the morning, right, I'm sleepy, I'm tired, but when I have my routine and I'm set on it, life is great.

00:26:02.656 --> 00:26:03.659
Yeah, life is great.

00:26:03.659 --> 00:26:06.412
I'm waking up, I'm energetic, I I'm myself.

00:26:06.412 --> 00:26:10.102
That's what I had to figure out in my transition for sure that makes sense.

00:26:10.162 --> 00:26:10.852
I'll tell you what you.

00:26:10.852 --> 00:26:17.597
You definitely hit a spot right there when you mentioned that 20 pounds, because I feel that see because no, I feel that y'all are so dramatic.

00:26:17.617 --> 00:26:18.980
You talk about going from that.

00:26:19.020 --> 00:26:19.342
So, extra.

00:26:19.362 --> 00:26:20.042
So you're playing.

00:26:20.042 --> 00:26:21.913
I was like man, I'm 235.

00:26:21.913 --> 00:26:27.218
Like I'm comfortable, I'm playing at this weight Football ends and at first I was still super active.

00:26:27.218 --> 00:26:32.373
And then, to your point, right, you start doing some foodie collabs, you start getting invited to these restaurants.

00:26:32.373 --> 00:26:35.138
No Miami got that food.

00:26:35.138 --> 00:26:35.960
I was in.

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.701
Miami at the time.

00:26:36.701 --> 00:26:38.384
So he moved to Miami with me.

00:26:38.384 --> 00:26:39.287
I was living the good life.

00:26:39.307 --> 00:26:40.008
He was living the good life.

00:26:40.028 --> 00:26:40.869
I was living the good life.

00:26:40.869 --> 00:26:42.294
He's like oh, I got to get a milkshake.

00:26:42.294 --> 00:26:44.780
He's like oh, I got to go, I was going crazy they had cookies.

00:26:44.829 --> 00:26:46.317
They had this really good cookie spot.

00:26:52.974 --> 00:26:53.974
They have this Fireman Derrick's.

00:26:53.974 --> 00:26:55.096
I was going crazy.

00:26:55.096 --> 00:26:56.416
He was cook everything.

00:26:56.416 --> 00:26:57.317
Give me dessert first.

00:26:57.317 --> 00:26:59.900
I don't even want dinner, I want dessert first.

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:01.401
No, I'm not even kidding.

00:27:01.421 --> 00:27:04.903
Before the appetizer comes, he will eat the dessert he's like.

00:27:04.903 --> 00:27:05.723
Bring the dessert now.

00:27:05.743 --> 00:27:08.806
And then give me dessert, and then dessert after yeah, crazy.

00:27:08.806 --> 00:27:13.992
And you said that stems from your dad, absolutely Okay, so did he kind of do that same?

00:27:14.012 --> 00:27:15.036
thing how His dad bakes.

00:27:15.036 --> 00:27:18.403
I mean from scratch, I mean sifting flour from scratch.

00:27:18.565 --> 00:27:19.205
Pops can throw down.

00:27:19.205 --> 00:27:20.008
That's what I'm saying.

00:27:20.008 --> 00:27:23.259
Yeah, girl, it was just bound to happen for me Yum.

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.095
I don't even know what to tell y'all.

00:27:25.095 --> 00:27:29.137
I had genetics that I was fighting against at that point, oh did you.

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:30.701
It does.

00:27:30.701 --> 00:27:31.663
It's like that sometimes.

00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:33.932
No his daddy be making some like.

00:27:33.932 --> 00:27:34.554
Even yesterday.

00:27:34.554 --> 00:27:38.117
Even yesterday he made some from scratch, some like banana bread.

00:27:38.117 --> 00:27:40.181
But you could be like, oh, can you make me some cinnamon rolls?

00:27:40.181 --> 00:27:40.602
And he'll.

00:27:40.602 --> 00:27:43.224
He has the yeast rising, he's making the cream cheese.

00:27:43.224 --> 00:27:51.320
He's from scratch and it's really since COVID he's been in this like baking era and it's and it's good for him because he eats the sweets a lot.

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:53.751
I'm not really I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't eat certain things.

00:27:53.751 --> 00:27:58.917
But he's like it doesn't matter what it is and his dad is always trying things.

00:27:58.917 --> 00:28:01.941
He's like it's like a four to one cookie ratio.

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:05.104
He's going to eat four and I'm going to get one Like it is, what it is.

00:28:05.104 --> 00:28:07.467
I feel you Dee's also gluten free.

00:28:07.467 --> 00:28:10.208
So she can't even have one, so it was four to zero, damn.

00:28:10.769 --> 00:28:12.317
Like she can't even have it here.

00:28:12.317 --> 00:28:22.115
It is Like if we have a, he loves chunks of cookies.

00:28:22.115 --> 00:28:22.576
He loves chunk cookies.

00:28:22.576 --> 00:28:24.021
It's all him I can't even have chunk that chunk store with the big.

00:28:24.021 --> 00:28:24.723
You know what he's talking about.

00:28:24.723 --> 00:28:25.566
I know exactly what he's talking about.

00:28:25.586 --> 00:28:26.368
That's how you end up chunky.

00:28:26.368 --> 00:28:26.650
That's facts.

00:28:26.670 --> 00:28:29.240
Okay, and then they don't want to point the finger at me.

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.865
No, but we used to pull up.

00:28:29.865 --> 00:28:30.105
That's real.

00:28:30.105 --> 00:28:30.489
That's real.

00:28:30.489 --> 00:28:34.596
We used to pull up.

00:28:34.615 --> 00:28:38.803
you gave him back, then so do you want to maybe get one cookie.

00:28:38.883 --> 00:28:39.704
I just suggested.

00:28:40.391 --> 00:28:43.621
I'm in there like looking at the menu and there's more than one that I want.

00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:48.577
There's actually two or three that I want and as a matter of fact, they have a special on Red Velvet.

00:28:49.951 --> 00:28:54.201
Then I'm doing a math and I'm like the sheer math of it makes sense to get four cookies.

00:28:54.569 --> 00:28:55.615
We drove all the way out here.

00:28:56.211 --> 00:28:57.917
Four cookies are gone in like two days.

00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:01.855
And I'm like man.

00:29:01.855 --> 00:29:02.279
I gained 10 pounds.

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:02.564
What happened?

00:29:02.564 --> 00:29:03.028
That's my daily life.

00:29:03.771 --> 00:29:06.653
I'm like 260 and I'm like, damn, how did I get?

00:29:06.753 --> 00:29:11.798
here and you swear it's everything else, but you, you know what they brain on my downfall.

00:29:11.798 --> 00:29:12.299
That's what it is.

00:29:13.292 --> 00:29:14.036
I'm blaming her.

00:29:14.036 --> 00:29:14.838
At home muffins.

00:29:16.255 --> 00:29:23.277
Yours are like protein and he's over here like that's your fault, my protein ball is like chill no you stopped at Bosu on the way home.

00:29:23.277 --> 00:29:25.358
You better take some accountability.

00:29:25.910 --> 00:29:27.195
It was the six-piece at Cane's.

00:29:28.073 --> 00:29:29.281
You can't keep spinning that block.

00:29:29.281 --> 00:29:30.653
I couldn't keep spinning that block.

00:29:30.653 --> 00:29:31.538
That's not one that we can.

00:29:39.730 --> 00:29:40.452
You know what killed me?

00:29:40.452 --> 00:29:41.015
Like I could not.

00:29:41.015 --> 00:29:43.605
I got to the point where, like I'd eat a chunk cookie or two and I step on a scale and it'd be like three pounds.

00:29:43.605 --> 00:29:44.166
I'm like moved man, that's.

00:29:44.166 --> 00:29:45.290
I was like hold on, this is a little different.

00:29:45.290 --> 00:29:46.215
I can't eat like this.

00:29:46.215 --> 00:29:49.148
It was like I understood, like it started clicking.

00:29:49.189 --> 00:29:59.663
I was like man, I can't eat these damn things like that's right that scale would be moving man you're not burning well, no, like probably anywhere from five to ten thousand calories from working out Like you're not doing that anymore.

00:29:59.663 --> 00:30:08.730
So you do have to make those adjustments, when I tell you that we had that same conversation three days ago, are you triggered right now you are a victim.

00:30:09.593 --> 00:30:11.279
I feel like we need to go to a meeting.

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:12.766
We need to go to a meeting.

00:30:13.371 --> 00:30:20.435
This is therapeutic right now, three days ago, last week filming a podcast I'm in the trailer right.

00:30:20.435 --> 00:30:22.152
I've been really focusing on my nutrition.

00:30:22.211 --> 00:30:33.019
These are nutrition, so she stays on me too and she just guides like she doesn't, like no hard, like you have to eat that or judging, because you can also work through that, because before I did be a little bit more like you know that you shouldn't have that.

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:39.359
He's like okay, I, yeah, I feel like I'm your parent and I'm child and I feel like maybe we can change the tone a little bit.

00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:41.163
It's always tone, it's always tone.

00:30:43.153 --> 00:30:43.715
I'm a grown man.

00:30:43.715 --> 00:30:44.717
I rubbed his belly for.

00:30:44.758 --> 00:30:45.828
God's sake that's enough.

00:30:45.828 --> 00:30:50.663
I was just like my baby you know, you know.

00:30:51.911 --> 00:30:52.796
So we finished the pie.

00:30:52.796 --> 00:30:56.500
I'm in the trailer grab some trail mix.

00:30:56.500 --> 00:31:02.358
I got a couple of things at home, so I make my own little and I've been doing this since, like college, and I used to eat like my one guilty pleasure.

00:31:02.358 --> 00:31:06.586
I used to eat super strict in college but my one guilty pleasure was trail mix.

00:31:06.586 --> 00:31:09.289
Trail mix, but not like healthy trail mix.

00:31:09.309 --> 00:31:12.634
Yeah, Like it's got the M&M's're talking about the bags, so imagine like.

00:31:19.789 --> 00:31:21.357
So you're like busheling it into your mouth?

00:31:21.357 --> 00:31:22.683
Yes, sprouts Like the big.

00:31:22.703 --> 00:31:23.788
Legit the big bag Bags.

00:31:23.788 --> 00:31:26.491
Yeah, and I've got different like mixes Speaking of that.

00:31:26.491 --> 00:31:29.795
There's a whole story behind that, yeah that'll be another.

00:31:29.795 --> 00:31:33.182
No, but I almost did some time over trail mix one time.

00:31:33.182 --> 00:31:40.631
No for real though.

00:31:40.631 --> 00:31:42.435
Like y'all think I'm really Like it's funny now, but it was not funny, it was not funny.

00:31:42.455 --> 00:31:42.877
When it was happening.

00:31:42.877 --> 00:31:43.239
No, seriously Like.

00:31:43.239 --> 00:31:44.461
So I had to go In front of a judge and everything.

00:31:44.461 --> 00:31:45.786
So let me tell you yes, you gotta tell us what's happening now.

00:31:45.806 --> 00:31:46.106
Okay, I do quick.

00:31:46.126 --> 00:31:46.788
You gotta tell the audience.

00:31:46.788 --> 00:31:48.026
Give us a synopsis Super quick.

00:31:48.309 --> 00:31:54.615
So this is why the eye in the sky Is always watching so long story college kid.

00:31:54.615 --> 00:32:00.065
I just transferred from Washington to Howard so I'm in DC and I used to go on the weekends and visit a friend.

00:32:00.065 --> 00:32:09.738
A family friend was right up the way in Virginia and they had a really nice grocery store Not in the DC area, this was in VA and it was called Wegmans Like Wegmans grocery store.

00:32:09.738 --> 00:32:16.538
It's like Whole Foods that level and so they had the area where they had all of the trim like, if you can imagine it.

00:32:16.659 --> 00:32:18.582
You know the book if you can imagine it.

00:32:18.582 --> 00:32:35.932
They had everything so the story gets better, so basically I'm pulling up, but when I get there and I'm going to look at the trail mix, right like they didn't have the combo that I wanted oh right, he's very particular some type of way.

00:32:35.951 --> 00:32:39.060
So I'm like man, they got this over here, but they did yogurt cover raisins over here.

00:32:39.060 --> 00:32:45.529
So I'm like, let me go ahead and just make my own Kurtz mix.

00:32:45.529 --> 00:32:47.676
I'm going to tag it up and I'm going to go check out with the rest of my groceries.

00:32:47.676 --> 00:32:48.380
Right, nothing wrong with that.

00:32:48.380 --> 00:32:56.923
But, like you know, when they're asking me at checkout with the rest of my groceries, I'm like, oh, like, whatever's the least expensive, go ahead and bring that one up.

00:32:56.923 --> 00:33:04.480
Listen, well, so you stole, so you're with me.

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:06.045
A thousand percent.

00:33:06.105 --> 00:33:09.715
I'm mixing when you go to jail for the same thing, just normally.

00:33:09.756 --> 00:33:11.461
I purchase all of my groceries.

00:33:11.461 --> 00:33:15.894
So it's not like I went through self-checkout like finette, like yeah I literally purchased with the person.

00:33:15.913 --> 00:33:17.016
she, she scanned it through.

00:33:17.016 --> 00:33:21.743
Now again, did I sometimes maybe take the lesser item that you know?

00:33:21.743 --> 00:33:28.258
If almonds are seven and you know the raisins are six, I'm like you know I'm going to go ahead and these are the raisins mostly.

00:33:28.258 --> 00:33:31.499
Yeah, I'll say this to say one day I come back.

00:33:31.499 --> 00:33:35.454
It's like I hadn't gone there for like a couple of months, so like I was home for the summer or whatever.

00:33:35.454 --> 00:33:36.656
Come back to school.

00:33:36.656 --> 00:33:42.424
I go back up to this grocery store because I go visit a family friend and I pull up and something told me this is like the power of the Holy Spirit.00:33:42.424 --> 00:33:46.215


Because something told me, like you know what, purchase everything individually.00:33:46.215 --> 00:33:48.882


Like just get individual bags for everything.00:33:48.882 --> 00:33:56.174


Because the last time I came the lady was kind of like, oh, I'm not going to Basically like this is I got to ring up the individuals or I got to.00:33:56.174 --> 00:33:57.997


She basically went to charge me like $40 for the trail mix.00:33:58.096 --> 00:33:59.858


And I was like oh man, she's doing it that way.00:33:59.898 --> 00:34:02.621


Separately, so she was right, I was wrong.00:34:03.102 --> 00:34:04.262


But let me just tell you what happens.00:34:04.262 --> 00:34:12.132


I'm pulling back up to get this trail mix and literally I see like one police car and I'm like oh man, they must be having some.00:34:12.132 --> 00:34:16.239


Like you know, must be something going on up here at the you know grocery three police cars.00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:24.318


I see a fourth police car, see officers walking towards me from both ends of the no way and I got my groceries in my car, I'm going to the to the Honda.00:34:24.338 --> 00:34:34.358


Accord and I'm just like, basically he stops me like there was like something in my like a child, like there's something in my bag, and I'm like like so can I see your receipt.00:34:34.358 --> 00:34:36.811


They wouldn't take me into like the room and talk to me.00:34:36.811 --> 00:34:38.817


The guy was like this is actually actually.00:34:38.817 --> 00:34:40.121


You've been here multiple times.00:34:40.121 --> 00:34:41.896


You've had this trail mix.00:34:41.896 --> 00:34:43.956


This actually is really hitting our bottom line.00:34:43.956 --> 00:34:45.954


I'm like, well, hey, it's like 40.00:34:45.954 --> 00:34:47.038


Man, I got my car.00:34:47.038 --> 00:34:47.840


I can pay for it.00:34:47.900 --> 00:34:50.115


He's like you know what this is like petty theft.00:34:50.115 --> 00:34:53.333


I want to take it to the judge and I'm going to keep in mind.00:34:53.333 --> 00:34:55.295


I'm going to or Howard University cover the.00:34:55.295 --> 00:34:58.018


So even when they brought me in, they're like you wear one left Nike.00:34:58.018 --> 00:34:59.201


Like you wear the Nike socks.00:34:59.201 --> 00:35:03.326


Like they had my whole, like they had a whole like bio everything.00:35:03.326 --> 00:35:06.476


Like we're going to come get you off the football field at campus.00:35:06.476 --> 00:35:11.659


I was like whoa, so long story short, I had like I was pre-law at Howard at the time.00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:17.721


So I called my professor, who was also an attorney, and was just like hey, this, like I love trail mix, but this is like super weird.00:35:17.721 --> 00:35:21.456


Like I tried to pay, like they're not letting me pay, like I'm in the back of a police car.00:35:21.456 --> 00:35:23.516


They got me down at the police station.00:35:24.018 --> 00:35:24.380


No joke.00:35:24.851 --> 00:35:40.934


And so they were like hey, well, you know it's going to be off your record type of thing, but like just wanted to like yeah, but they wanted to like try to pursue individual like theft of trail mix, although I outright like checked out with so it's crazy.00:35:40.954 --> 00:35:41.896


So, but that's how much I love trail mix.00:35:41.896 --> 00:35:46.173


Oh my god, because you're a trail mix bandit is what you're saying right now, it's crazy.00:35:46.193 --> 00:35:46.777


I don't know.00:35:46.777 --> 00:35:48.768


So, needless to say, I buy the trail mix in the bag now.00:35:48.807 --> 00:35:57.878


No 100, yeah yeah, and I mixology that that kurt mix does not exist and let's leave it where it was just to follow this up that they were waiting for you yes, oh, oh.00:35:57.878 --> 00:35:59.782


Yes, they couldn't wait for you to come back.00:35:59.782 --> 00:36:04.260


Yes, you're probably the only black person that fit that description.00:36:04.260 --> 00:36:07.025


Anyway, I will say that we're not a lot of brothers in the area.00:36:07.045 --> 00:36:08.945


Yeah, I was going to say we're not a lot of brothers in the area.00:36:08.985 --> 00:36:09.369


Oh my God.00:36:09.469 --> 00:36:12.932


So I don't think they had a lot of action at that grocery store in that area.00:36:12.972 --> 00:36:15.655


That was.00:36:15.715 --> 00:36:18.338


I think that's one of the first times I've told that story.00:36:18.338 --> 00:36:19.900


What Nobody knows that.00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:20.981


He's a felon.00:36:20.981 --> 00:36:22.983


I promise I'm not a felon.00:36:22.983 --> 00:36:24.164


I'm going to look at the camera.00:36:24.164 --> 00:36:25.525


I promise you I'm not a felon.00:36:25.525 --> 00:36:30.597


I promise it got weird, though it was crazy.00:36:31.891 --> 00:36:33.396


They wanted to make an example out of you too.00:36:33.396 --> 00:36:35.518


That was the biggest thing.00:36:36.170 --> 00:36:39.802


All jokes aside, on the felon part, it was petty right it should that was the biggest thing.00:36:39.802 --> 00:36:42.722


But, all jokes aside, on the felon part it's like legit, it was petty right, it was like it should have been like just go ahead and pay for it, dude leave.00:36:42.722 --> 00:36:49.815


Back up separately next time, Like that was what I would have done if I was in charge of the grocery store, but it was like I want to make an example of you.00:36:50.077 --> 00:36:51.842


You're the star, da-da-da, all of this.00:36:54.163 --> 00:36:58.164


And try to push it, and actually this is why I've always had utmost respect for the police.00:36:58.164 --> 00:37:16.539


But I really appreciate the officer and why you just want to be a good person Because as he's reading about my story, he's like I know you're a man of faith, like basically, like I know this is like really weird, like I'm doing my job because I have to, but he basically was like I'm not going to let them try to list each time that you got trail mix as a separate.00:37:17.021 --> 00:37:25.052


Every time you got kurt's mix is a separate incident which if there's like three incidents, it is an actual felony and I'm like they were, you just did it once.00:37:25.052 --> 00:37:33.284


Yeah, they were, you did it once, or a couple of times like I went, so this would be my routine of going to the grocery store oh, so you are a thief, so you did you.00:37:33.304 --> 00:37:34.987


So you did what they said, got it all right.00:37:35.715 --> 00:37:38.541


I want to make it clear that I purchased my trail mix.00:37:38.541 --> 00:37:42.309


It just may have been at a lower price per item.00:37:42.309 --> 00:37:44.322


It may have been at a discounted rate.00:37:44.876 --> 00:37:47.003


You're snitching on yourself right now, kurt.00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:54.864


So I say that to say but I also say this to say like for me it was also a reminder of even the small things of like.00:37:54.864 --> 00:38:03.722


Most people would be like yo, what it's crazy, but like even the small things I literally like walk out of stores and like I've got my receipt.00:38:03.722 --> 00:38:05.659


Walmart, I got.00:38:05.659 --> 00:38:08.740


Like eggs and peanut butter, I'm like screenshot.00:38:08.740 --> 00:38:10.766


Here's the receipt man.00:38:10.786 --> 00:38:11.588


That's your trauma response.00:38:11.588 --> 00:38:13.940


That's my trauma response.00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:15.143


He's triggered by the receipt.00:38:16.864 --> 00:38:19.923


That was a long story but I couldn't help it with the trail mix.00:38:19.943 --> 00:38:20.708


That is hilarious, though.00:38:20.708 --> 00:38:22.760


Thanks for sharing that was hilarious.00:38:23.844 --> 00:38:24.807


Damn bro, that was crazy Damn.00:38:26.215 --> 00:38:32.606


I feel, like the segue from that, I feel like I've got to maybe ask a question to bounce us off of the crazy trail mix scenario.00:38:32.606 --> 00:38:33.940


But I got a question for you though.00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:34.161


Yeah.00:38:35.842 --> 00:38:42.307


You've been able to play and this is like football related but you've been able to play with some absolute icons, like not too many people can say that they worked.00:38:42.307 --> 00:38:48.920


Like you know, people work with a lot of folks like throughout their career, but, like not too many people can say that work with Russell Wilson, they work with Aaron Rodgers.00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:50.684


What was your experience?00:38:50.684 --> 00:38:58.594


Like you know, being on teams with, you know, really two prolific, like hall of fame caliber players no, um, man, great question.00:38:58.675 --> 00:39:05.172


It's crazy because, like, thinking of this stuff doesn't hit me until like now, when I'm like retired, you know, like in the moment you can process.00:39:05.373 --> 00:39:11.135


Yeah, in the moment I'm like this is Aaron, this is Russ, like this is Lamar, this is Carson Wentz, all these.00:39:11.135 --> 00:39:16.021


This is Jordan Nelson I can go on and on Julius peppers, all these guys, and.00:39:16.021 --> 00:39:27.706


But it was a very beautiful thing because, like it also like framed my mind, like when I first got into league in Green Bay I didn't necessarily know what a true quarterback was, like any of this stuff.00:39:27.706 --> 00:39:37.599


So I'm coming into a sort of like a young pup getting groomed and trained to be an Aaron or Russ, and like that was just where I was, like I was my partner every day.00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.342


We trained, we competed in quarterback school together.00:39:40.342 --> 00:39:42.320


So to me it was like a true friendship.00:39:42.943 --> 00:39:50.422


Same with Russ, like you know, as a backup, like that's your ace, like I got to make sure you're ready and prepared as possible and I'm trying to make sure I stay ready without the reps.00:39:50.422 --> 00:40:02.148


But it's not until you get out where you start realizing like man, I, man, I'm watching these guys on TV or I'm texting, you know Russ or Aaron, and I know these cats about to be in the hall of fame, and so it's a beautiful thing.00:40:02.148 --> 00:40:17.601


And just to look from my perspective, now retired, you know in a whole different real estate, you know type of type of field to be able to just say like, wow, I was, I was there, I was in it and you know that those were, those were just normal people to me.00:40:17.601 --> 00:40:19.492


You know that those were, those were just normal people to me.00:40:19.512 --> 00:40:23.784


You know I love that and I think so many people are are curious about that element of like.00:40:23.784 --> 00:40:25.086


You know, these are normal people.00:40:25.135 --> 00:40:27.356


Like this is just like everybody else they just have.00:40:27.538 --> 00:40:28.360


this is their job.00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:29.762


Yeah, extraordinary talents.00:40:29.903 --> 00:40:30.304


Yeah.00:40:30.344 --> 00:40:33.797


Extraordinary talents, the things I was able to learn from Aaron Russ.00:40:33.797 --> 00:40:36.099


I mean the things I was able to.00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:43.704


I would watch Lamar eat McDonald's and go to the practice field and kill everybody and I'm over there like man, I can't do it.00:40:43.704 --> 00:40:46.748


Like I can't do it, but like just being able to witness.00:40:46.748 --> 00:40:48.728


Like the differences too that's another strength.00:40:48.728 --> 00:40:54.916


Like everybody had their strength, russ didn't take a break and I mean all of them worked hard.00:40:54.936 --> 00:40:58.123


Russ was like a dude that even on the off days it was on day.00:40:58.123 --> 00:41:07.081


Okay, aaron was very more relaxed, like chill, laid back, but at the same time like he was probably one of the smartest and I tell everybody this, he's probably one of the smartest guys I've ever been around.00:41:07.081 --> 00:41:10.005


Like not just football, like everything.00:41:10.005 --> 00:41:11.614


Very, very brilliant.00:41:11.614 --> 00:41:18.106


The way his mind processes information and I mean you see it on the field, but like it correlates off the field as well.00:41:18.106 --> 00:41:26.181


And then you got guys like you know, carson Wentz and all these other Larry Fitz that I played with out here, greatest teammate I've ever had in my life.00:41:26.181 --> 00:41:35.943


But like personally, like these guys are normal people, but like extraordinary human beings, like the work, ethic, what they do every day and the routine.00:41:35.943 --> 00:41:39.543


So we always will follow back up on that routine, like their routine.00:41:39.643 --> 00:41:41.628


That's where I learned a lot of my stuff from.00:41:41.628 --> 00:41:44.257


It didn't change, no matter if you're injured.00:41:44.257 --> 00:41:48.623


Like the routine and the mindset of, like what I'm going to do every day and I'm going to get the most out of this.00:41:48.623 --> 00:41:54.846


And people, you know, when you get out of football it's a little different because you're not in that competitive environment every day.00:41:54.846 --> 00:41:59.956


That was a norm.00:41:59.956 --> 00:42:02.389


You know, when you're growing up and be around these guys, like every day you come and you're trying to.00:42:02.389 --> 00:42:02.891


You're not trying to.00:42:02.891 --> 00:42:04.398


You know you're trying to stay on the team.00:42:04.398 --> 00:42:05.943


You know, not trying to get cut.00:42:05.943 --> 00:42:07.360


You have to compete every day.00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:18.947


So being around the atmosphere now is, you know, it's a beautiful thing to look back in my position now and be like I was there, I experienced it all and it was, you know, and these are all you know, great friends of mine now to this day.00:42:19.847 --> 00:42:26.211


I got to ask the greatest, the greatest, like biggest memory post NFL looking back on your NFL career?00:42:26.211 --> 00:42:30.420


Or football career as a whole there might be too many, but what's like one that you just were like man.00:42:30.420 --> 00:42:32.967


I always remember that moment.00:42:33.114 --> 00:42:34.597


I got a great one for you.00:42:34.597 --> 00:42:36.438


I was actually playing here for the Cardinals.00:42:36.438 --> 00:42:39.041


I was backing up Kyler hadn't got in yet.00:42:39.041 --> 00:42:44.467


I just came from Seattle, so I was backing up Russ the year before we were going to Seattle and playing.00:42:44.467 --> 00:42:47.331


You know, in Seattle Russ was having a great year.00:42:47.331 --> 00:42:53.266


This game he was on course to break the franchise passing record for the Seattle Seahawks.00:42:54.014 --> 00:42:55.820


And Kyler goes in.00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:56.724


You know his first quarter.00:42:56.724 --> 00:42:59.402


I'm over there on the sideline just watching him play.00:42:59.402 --> 00:43:05.079


And then you know next thing, you know the offense goes out and Kyler's not going out, and so rightfully so.00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:12.222


You know, being backup quarterback Brett, you're in and you know you're not necessarily prepared for it, but you know you're ready for it.00:43:12.222 --> 00:43:19.815


But in the moment when you don't see Kyler go out, you're like oh.00:43:19.815 --> 00:43:20.778


While you're like, oh, shit, I'm about to go in.00:43:20.778 --> 00:43:21.842


You know, and um, long story short, had a great game.00:43:21.842 --> 00:43:24.052


Uh, kenyon Drake running back like man throwing a ball to Larry, we, we end up winning the game.00:43:24.213 --> 00:43:37.000


It was one of the coolest experiences for me because not playing, you know, especially behind Russ and after my years in Green Bay, like this was the moment that I got to get back on the field and and not only prove to others that I still have it, but prove to myself that I can still play.00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:43.230


But even after the game, me and Russ were still great friends and I still have his jersey in my house right now.00:43:43.230 --> 00:43:48.096


He signed his jersey and I didn't realize it at the time he had broke the franchise passing record.00:43:48.096 --> 00:43:50.204


That game signed the jersey to me.00:43:50.204 --> 00:43:51.188


We jersey swapped.00:43:51.188 --> 00:43:52.393


I have pictures from it.00:43:52.474 --> 00:43:59.369


And after the game, you know, the announcement came out Russ broke the franchise passing record and I was like I can't keep this jersey.00:43:59.369 --> 00:44:02.202


Like this is not, it's not for me, this is for Russ.00:44:02.202 --> 00:44:12.759


So I text him, I send it back to the trainers and next thing, you know jersey comes right back to me and I get a text from Russ and he's like bro, I appreciate you, I appreciate everything you've done, keep it, it's yours.00:44:12.759 --> 00:44:14.721


And I still have that jersey to this day.00:44:14.721 --> 00:44:20.507


One of the coolest moments of football to me meant the world, wow, crazy.00:44:20.947 --> 00:44:25.836


That's incredible and interesting enough because Russell is, you know, he's also a Sierra.00:44:25.836 --> 00:44:27.380


He's known for being a family man.00:44:27.380 --> 00:44:31.018


So is there anything that you learned from him that you bring into your relationship now?00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:35.456


You know, I feel like I take a little bit from all those guys I've been around.00:44:35.456 --> 00:44:39.603


Russ was again very, very consistent, um, and I think that's the biggest thing.00:44:39.603 --> 00:44:40.826


Yeah, that is a that is.00:44:40.826 --> 00:44:41.668


That's a huge one.00:44:41.847 --> 00:45:21.862


You know Russ is a very like, very routine based, very consistent man, um, and especially in our relationship, like I don't want to be a guy who's down, uh, you know non-consistent, like and now it was just being around Russ and who he is, like he's very uh and I would say a servant, like he's all about helping others and, you know, being the best man that he could possibly be and you know you take things from everybody, but russ was an awesome guy to be around at that time, especially in my that time in my life and you know, still young and stuff like that but like he really really took me under the wing and taught me a lot I appreciate you saying that so much, especially because I you know sometimes you see these stories in a clickbait out there that people don't have Russ's phone number.00:45:22.034 --> 00:45:24.744


You can't text him and get in touch with your teammate.00:45:24.744 --> 00:45:36.445


So just to hear that type of moment and experience and giving you the jersey when he breaks the record, that's the epitome of a teammate and somebody that you want to work alongside.00:45:36.445 --> 00:45:37.427


So that's powerful.00:45:37.507 --> 00:45:38.817


I appreciate that man, russ.00:45:38.817 --> 00:45:40.804


And I would say this about Aaron Rodgers too.00:45:40.804 --> 00:45:45.360


I know the media don't make him sound good and great dude, like genuine person.00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:50.688


When I first got there I was young as I, you know, wet behind the ears, didn't know what I was doing.00:45:50.688 --> 00:46:01.724


But Aaron, that was the first quarterback I was really around for three years, got three years, got to spend time with them, really understand how he is like, who he is and like just one of the genuine dudes.00:46:01.724 --> 00:46:05.226


I still text him to this day like still a great dude, like awesome.00:46:05.226 --> 00:46:08.728


I've had some great teammates and especially the quarterbacks I was around.00:46:08.728 --> 00:46:10.530


I wouldn't trade it for the world.00:46:10.530 --> 00:46:11.552


Yeah, I wouldn't trade it for the world.00:46:11.731 --> 00:46:12.612


That's incredible.00:46:12.612 --> 00:46:21.722


Okay, so, as we're wrapping up, what's next for you two?00:46:21.722 --> 00:46:22.023


It's our like.00:46:22.023 --> 00:46:23.005


What countries are?00:46:23.025 --> 00:46:23.789


we going to our kids in the future?00:46:23.789 --> 00:46:24.471


What's what's next for y'all?00:46:24.471 --> 00:46:32.507


Hello, he's looking at me, like I said, he's like well, you plan everything um, so as of right now, uh, the kids completely on ice.00:46:32.708 --> 00:46:34.697


I think that we're just kind of enjoying being married.00:46:34.697 --> 00:46:49.768


Um, I think that it's all about foundations and fundamentals and really like for about four years of us kind of dating, we were long distance because, again, like I was living in Miami, I was getting my real estate career and everything off the ground and I had like my whole life there.00:46:49.768 --> 00:46:51.097


You gotta think I was there for over a decade.00:46:51.097 --> 00:47:03.088


I moved to Miami two weeks before my 21st birthday, so I was there until I was pretty much 31 I'm almost 32 now and um, but a lot of that time we just spent apart and it was just like a lot of plane rides and all that stuff, you know.00:47:03.088 --> 00:47:08.585


So for the last really like year and a half two years, we finally got to like be together all the time.00:47:08.644 --> 00:47:12.693


And even with this being together now it's not even like we get to be together because we're still working.00:47:12.693 --> 00:47:20.759


We're still like I still have to go to Miami to go see clients or do walkthroughs or whatever, or he has speaking engagements and things that he has to do and stuff.00:47:20.759 --> 00:47:23.385


But I think we're just spending time together at the moment.00:47:23.385 --> 00:47:33.755


So having kids is just not necessarily like maybe in the future, like we'll work on it and we'll figure it out, but right now it's just kind of a space of like us, and that leads us to where we're going next.00:47:34.137 --> 00:47:34.257


Um.00:47:34.998 --> 00:47:36.380


I'm actually doing the research right now.00:47:36.380 --> 00:47:41.909


We originally going to leave um with the 17th march, 7th, like basically in two weeks we're gonna leave.00:47:42.148 --> 00:47:45.182


Um, we were gonna go to barcelona to begin with, but we think we might.00:47:45.182 --> 00:47:57.221


We might go live in, uh, like the czech republic, maybe germany, for a month, and then we have to come back for some work stuff, anyways, for like a week, and then we'll start our three to six month like stint in barcelona after that.00:47:57.221 --> 00:48:10.135


But right now we're just trying to I'm I'm trying to figure out where we're gonna go, but it's between berlin, uh, the czech republic, and what was the last one oh, in milan we were thinking about going to milan so we might live in italy for a little bit.00:48:10.195 --> 00:48:10.556


I don't know.00:48:10.556 --> 00:48:12.838


It's up in the air this is what having no kids.00:48:12.858 --> 00:48:15.023


Does you just put it on like a little?00:48:15.023 --> 00:48:18.166


Yes and it's like where it lands you.00:48:18.186 --> 00:48:19.969


Just it's amazing you can pick up and go.00:48:19.969 --> 00:48:26.159


Yeah, we're just like pick up and go and thankfully, like your dog, literally, and we're being sebastian love you sebastian I don't know if you you watch this.00:48:27.161 --> 00:48:32.380


That's our dog, yeah, um, but I I feel like it's great because of the workspace that we're in.00:48:32.380 --> 00:48:37.666


We're in real estate, so it's not necessarily like we need to be here and um, like we're just building the company.00:48:37.666 --> 00:48:40.114


We're building, we're doing projects, we're both invested in things.00:48:40.114 --> 00:48:45.534


We're just basically working on this like conglomerate and making sure our ecosystem is working.00:48:45.534 --> 00:48:49.996


And last year was the first year that we really spent eight months outside of the U?00:48:49.996 --> 00:48:50.215


S.00:48:50.215 --> 00:48:51.820


So we spent eight months.00:48:51.820 --> 00:49:03.474


We were only here for four, but that's like, that's incredible being gone for two, three months, coming back for a month, being gone, but we were able to still like build the companies and do all these things, but it solidified like real estate is where we're going.00:49:03.635 --> 00:49:05.039


Like we need to stay in real estate.00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.003


That's what we want to do.00:49:06.003 --> 00:49:18.626


We just we're just like narrowing our focus and focusing on that and I think that maybe next we'll achieve the kid thing, Maybe we'll go on to something else, but right now, it's just it's just really about us and I'm and I appreciate that I love that.00:49:18.726 --> 00:49:20.067


Yeah, and you have plenty of time.00:49:20.067 --> 00:49:21.547


I know people always try to rush you.00:49:21.547 --> 00:49:27.358


They're gonna ask you when you guys having kids and it's like, yeah, you're not babysitting these kids like you're not gonna be here day to day with these.00:49:27.358 --> 00:49:28.221


Literally.00:49:28.221 --> 00:49:31.617


Don't pressure me, don't put that on me like that pressure doesn't necessarily work for us.00:49:31.697 --> 00:49:48.380


I would say, too, like one thing, that what I I love the most about our relationship and it's something that was it was great about us traveling all last year was that we got to be alone, because it's not about you guys it's about us you know and like, whether it is in anything that we have it's, it's about us and even being as far as you are, like, you get into an argument in vietnam.00:49:48.380 --> 00:49:48.780


What am I gonna?00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:55.943


I can't, I can't I can't go down to my mom's house.00:49:56.003 --> 00:49:58.807


I'll be here like you're upset go take a nap, because it's like what are we like?00:49:58.827 --> 00:50:02.161


go be pretend mad, get it over it, we're gonna talk about it and whatever you know, but like it.00:50:02.583 --> 00:50:07.530


It allowed us this time and the focus to like, focus on each other and focus on like whatever it was.00:50:07.530 --> 00:50:09.396


And you know everyone says that marriage is hard.00:50:09.396 --> 00:50:11.702


No, marriage is easy if you pick the right person.00:50:11.702 --> 00:50:14.838


It's like smooth, like cream cheese on a bagel, like I swear we.00:50:14.838 --> 00:50:18.143


We don't argue, we don't stuff, it's just, it's just a matter of like.00:50:18.143 --> 00:50:22.818


Hey, maybe I didn't like the way you said that or maybe your tone is a little weird and you can correct a little bit different.00:50:22.838 --> 00:50:27.181


But when you have all these outside forces, one thing that we've narrowed down is like no one else matters but us.00:50:27.181 --> 00:50:28.023


You know what I mean.00:50:28.023 --> 00:50:40.210


Like there's, we are unwavering in that and at the end of the day, with him, I, I believe in him, I follow him, I, everything is just me and him.00:50:40.210 --> 00:50:43.733


Now, if someone comes to try to tell me something, I'm like you're crazy because I know him.00:50:43.733 --> 00:50:50.797


You can't tell me I spent the time with him, but when you are home or here, you just you fall into the gossip and all the other stuff.00:50:50.797 --> 00:50:52.264


But that's just not our thing.00:50:52.304 --> 00:50:54.193


We've always, we've always been secluded.00:50:54.193 --> 00:50:57.039


I moved to Miami by myself, secluded, and nobody was there.00:50:57.039 --> 00:50:58.121


You gotta think I'm from Arizona.00:50:58.121 --> 00:50:59.384


I moved to Miami by myself, secluded, and nobody was there.00:50:59.384 --> 00:51:00.125


You got to think I'm from Arizona.00:51:00.125 --> 00:51:01.186


I moved to Miami, like, and nobody knew.00:51:01.186 --> 00:51:08.735


I lived there for a while, you know, and I just pride myself on that and I hope that we continue to do that, because there is no peer pressure, nobody's going to pressure us into anything Like.00:51:08.735 --> 00:51:10.320


It's not making nothing over here.00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:11.625


You know, I love that yeah.00:51:20.175 --> 00:51:22.226


But it's funny because my showed me he man it was the first time I've had baby feeder.00:51:22.226 --> 00:51:27.344


I told him this I don't think he's seen him yet, but the first time and only time, and this is on record, this only time.00:51:27.344 --> 00:51:42.362


But he brought these, like you know, like the little jordan fives, but think like 30 years ago, the first pair of sneakers brett has ever, ever had and owned his dad brought them out in a little saran wrap thing and was like these are Brett's shoes.00:51:42.434 --> 00:51:50.317


These are his first pair of Jordans from when he was a kid and he was like, when we have a son, we're going to name him Brett III, because his dad is Brett, he's Brett Jr and it's going to be B3.00:51:50.317 --> 00:51:51.378


You see.00:51:51.398 --> 00:51:52.539


Yeah, he's the second.00:51:52.619 --> 00:51:55.344


Yeah, he's the second Interesting, because so you're actually going to ask me that question.00:51:55.385 --> 00:51:55.784


Exactly.00:51:55.925 --> 00:51:58.550


So he was like can you imagine B3 walking around with these shoes?00:51:58.550 --> 00:52:01.534


And I've never had baby fever and I'm like I need to make a baby for you right now.00:52:01.554 --> 00:52:01.815


I love it.00:52:01.815 --> 00:52:06.143


I need to make you a baby, so I can wear those shoes right now, Like I need to give you a baby right now.00:52:06.514 --> 00:52:07.902


And then I'm like wait a minute.00:52:07.902 --> 00:52:17.304


I'm like postpartum depression.00:52:17.304 --> 00:52:18.646


I'm like who's making those?00:52:18.646 --> 00:52:21.027


Who is making those?00:52:21.027 --> 00:52:23.931


But if it was, I would have been had a baby.00:52:23.931 --> 00:52:24.612


I can't, I can't.00:52:24.632 --> 00:52:26.094


You two, I can't, I'm too most.00:52:26.153 --> 00:52:27.114


I'm too most.00:52:27.335 --> 00:52:29.322


The similarities is insane.00:52:29.322 --> 00:52:31.597


I told him when we first got together.00:52:31.597 --> 00:52:33.880


I was like, oh, I'm cool with two, two.00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.081


He's like well, what about three?00:52:35.081 --> 00:52:36.782


I'm like ugh, do you have three arms?00:52:36.782 --> 00:52:37.764


I'll do three.00:52:37.764 --> 00:52:39.606


I'll do three for you.00:52:39.606 --> 00:52:40.907


You're going to have three.00:52:40.907 --> 00:52:42.489


Then, all of a sudden, he's like well, let's do four.00:52:42.489 --> 00:52:43.951


I said what are you talking about?00:52:43.951 --> 00:52:44.791


You're getting bullied.00:52:44.791 --> 00:52:45.693


You're getting bullied.00:52:45.693 --> 00:52:46.173


What's happening?00:52:46.173 --> 00:52:47.114


How can this man bully you?00:52:47.114 --> 00:53:00.905


I'm not bullying my wife We've already had the conversation of childbirth and some other things because I want to do unmedicated and he's like yo maybe two.00:53:01.224 --> 00:53:03.447


I say two, one for him, one for me.00:53:03.786 --> 00:53:05.329


I think, I want to have, he wants a girl.00:53:05.329 --> 00:53:06.909


I want a boy, I don't think I want to do his own.00:53:07.210 --> 00:53:09.070


I don't want to do his own coverage, I want like a man-to-man.00:53:09.090 --> 00:53:10.012


That's what I'm like.00:53:10.012 --> 00:53:10.331


There we go.00:53:19.375 --> 00:53:20.760


I want a man-to-man coverage girl, but we did say we do have kids.00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:21.603


If it's a boy, we're gonna do the like.00:53:21.603 --> 00:53:22.768


Scientific put a girl like he wants a girl.00:53:22.768 --> 00:53:23.188


I could care less.00:53:23.208 --> 00:53:32.342


I already know my attitude is terrible so I'm like good luck but a boy, I'm like, but then again like, I'm like you sacrifice back scratches, you sacrifice cuddling, you sacrifice.00:53:32.342 --> 00:53:33.590


Just know that there's gonna be a little thing.00:53:33.590 --> 00:53:37.422


He's like no, no, never mind, I'm like, exactly so like, but we want to have two.00:53:37.422 --> 00:53:41.572


We think that two would be perfect because he can pay attention I can pay attention when you get to three.00:53:41.572 --> 00:53:47.994


Sometimes I slip through the cracks and, yeah, we just want to be such hands-on parents and so like, involved and um, I would.00:53:48.135 --> 00:53:53.396


I was, uh, I grew up in foster care, so like, the whole family dynamic and stuff like that has always been a foreign concept.00:53:53.396 --> 00:54:01.367


I've never really had the like go to your grandma's house or go do this, go do that, like his family is my family and then I have, like, my adoptive mom and my little brother and that's it.00:54:01.367 --> 00:54:01.929


I've never.00:54:01.929 --> 00:54:04.119


I don't have the thanksgivings at Christmas, all of that.00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:10.143


So when we go into this new era, it's something that we have to really build from scratch and like it's.00:54:10.362 --> 00:54:16.541


It's gonna be a lot and I know that it's asking a lot of the both of us, but I think it's a challenge we'll take on eventually, but right now I'm not.00:54:16.541 --> 00:54:18.885


I'm not necessarily in a rush I'm not in a rush.00:54:18.905 --> 00:54:34.637


Yeah, no I love that at all, I love it, and I think this is this is gonna be so powerful, and we appreciate y'all sharing this too, because this is gonna help both people that are maybe single or finding their one, maybe looking for that person, maybe spinning the block and finding somebody that they used to, maybe they gave a kiss to in high school.00:54:34.657 --> 00:54:34.958


That's worthy.00:54:34.958 --> 00:54:35.599


They got to be on this equally.00:54:35.619 --> 00:54:38.204


Yeah, yes, and it's grown like if you know from being like in high school, that's worthy they got to be on an equally young team.00:54:38.224 --> 00:54:39.186


Yes, and it's grown Like.00:54:39.186 --> 00:54:44.199


If you you know from being like in high school, you're not still like a high school personality.00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:44.960


You've grown.00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:45.822


I didn't peak in high school.00:54:45.842 --> 00:54:50.289


I was kind of ugly in high school, so he was, he'd been fine, it was me.00:54:50.289 --> 00:54:56.518


I was like the head was shaved.00:54:56.518 --> 00:54:57.125


I was like modeling back then.00:54:57.144 --> 00:55:00.795


so I had like a very like eclectic and drowsiness look, it was giving that like short pixie like.00:55:01.036 --> 00:55:02.322


I used to put in a little palm tree.00:55:02.675 --> 00:55:16.182


I don't know how we even kissed because I was ugly, but I pulled him and I re-pulled him when I started to look like this, but it goes to show that he loves me because he's seen every shades of everything and he still chose me.00:55:16.182 --> 00:55:22.717


You know what I mean?00:55:22.717 --> 00:55:24.342

Before I knew this man, he used to have what your dad used to make you fade your hair.00:55:34.177 --> 00:55:35.179


I remember all of that.00:55:35.179 --> 00:55:36.523
