00:00:00.000 | What's up everybody, I appreciate you guys tuning in to season one of Curious Mike.
00:00:04.660 | Right now we're doing a bonus episode where you guys get to be curious and ask me questions.
00:00:08.900 | So let's get it going.
00:00:17.840 | So for this bonus episode, we had you guys comment on an Instagram post, questions you
00:00:22.860 | wanted to ask me.
00:00:24.220 | And so that's what we're going to do right now.
00:00:25.220 | I'm going to answer y'all's questions.
00:00:26.220 | I'm going to have my sister ask them to me.
00:00:28.580 | I haven't seen any of them, so let's get it going.
00:00:31.480 | Let's get it going.
00:00:32.480 | Okay.
00:00:33.480 | So it's 204.
00:00:34.480 | We're not going to get through all of them, but we will start with something easy.
00:00:39.400 | Okay.
00:00:40.560 | How has Denver helped you develop and grow not only as a Hooper, but as an individual?
00:00:45.100 | Yeah, I mean, I think when I first got drafted to Denver, I had never even visited Denver
00:00:52.180 | and I didn't really know what to expect.
00:00:54.220 | But then going out there, it was like I fell in love with the city instantly.
00:00:59.880 | The people are so down to earth, you know, it's a very healthy culture.
00:01:03.380 | I've met tons of great people.
00:01:05.600 | So off the court, it's been really just relaxing for me.
00:01:08.180 | It's a chill city, but you can still have fun.
00:01:10.340 | And then on the court, I mean, we got one of the best young teams in the league.
00:01:14.140 | I'm surrounded by a group of great dudes.
00:01:17.380 | I think one thing that makes our team unique is just how selfless we are as a team.
00:01:22.780 | Like everyone wants to see each other succeed.
00:01:25.700 | And that's really refreshing to be on a team like that, because you hear stories of guys
00:01:29.960 | that used to play on other teams coming to Denver, and it didn't used to be like that.
00:01:33.760 | So it's definitely a blessing to be on a team like that.
00:01:37.100 | For sure.
00:01:38.420 | Okay.
00:01:39.580 | What are your season superstitions or pregame rituals?
00:01:43.700 | Yeah, I don't really have too many superstitions.
00:01:47.380 | I think a lot of players ask me about what separates NBA players from other players.
00:01:54.860 | And I think one thing is just the routine.
00:01:57.020 | So I don't have any superstitions, but I do have a routine that I stick to very closely
00:02:00.340 | before games.
00:02:02.720 | That just includes all my pregame lifts, my pregame stretching.
00:02:06.420 | I try to eat similar things every game day.
00:02:11.460 | And then before I go out on the court, I always say like a prayer, and I try to read some
00:02:14.820 | scripture of the Bible just to calm my nerves and help me realize what's really important
00:02:22.420 | before I go out to play a game, because you can get in the thought process of how important
00:02:26.540 | the game is, but there's way more important things going on.
00:02:28.840 | So when I could refocus my thinking, it just lets me go out there and play free and not
00:02:34.140 | worry too much about the outcome, just be in the moment.
00:02:37.140 | That's good.
00:02:38.140 | I feel like you can tell the games where you're really playing free and just...
00:02:42.540 | Yeah.
00:02:43.540 | I mean, I think it's...
00:02:45.580 | Some players, when they are really, really just locked in, thinking a lot, play their
00:02:49.540 | best.
00:02:50.540 | But for me, when I'm playing free, just letting instinct take over and just being myself,
00:02:56.180 | then that's when I have by far the best game.
00:02:59.660 | When I'm in my head or whatever, it's definitely not as free-flowing.
00:03:03.380 | Yeah.
00:03:04.380 | Okay.
00:03:05.380 | This is actually a really good question.
00:03:07.740 | What was it like having to sit out basically your whole college season, and what type of
00:03:11.540 | toll did it take on your mental health?
00:03:14.060 | This is something that a lot of people, they do know, but they don't really know the extent
00:03:17.100 | of it.
00:03:18.100 | So that was definitely a trying time of my life because my whole basketball career was
00:03:23.300 | just easy, easy, easy.
00:03:25.220 | I remember being ranked for the first time in the eighth grade, I think I was 25th.
00:03:29.140 | And then after that, it was just, I was rising to the top super quick until all of a sudden
00:03:33.660 | I was the number one player in the country.
00:03:35.500 | And then I committed to Mizzou, going back home, everybody was super excited and everything.
00:03:41.140 | And people were just treating me like I was like a god or something, walking around campus.
00:03:45.340 | It was crazy.
00:03:46.340 | Everywhere I went, people, it was just, it was crazy.
00:03:49.100 | So then that first game, when I, I told my dad, I remember telling dad, I'm like, "Dad,
00:03:55.180 | I can't play.
00:03:56.180 | I'm going through warm-up lines and I can't really jump.
00:03:58.340 | I don't know what's going on."
00:04:00.420 | And so, but the TV had already had the starters ready to announce.
00:04:06.100 | So coach was just like, "Mike, you've got to start the game, but we'll pull you out
00:04:09.180 | right away."
00:04:10.180 | And I was like, "Dang."
00:04:11.180 | So I go in, knowing I'm coming out.
00:04:14.220 | And then I end up going to the locker room and I get on the phone with the doctor and
00:04:19.380 | he's like asking me if I can do certain things and I'm trying it, you know, trying all these
00:04:23.700 | different exercises, whatever.
00:04:24.700 | I'm like, "I can't do these right now.
00:04:26.020 | I don't know what's going on."
00:04:27.020 | And he's like, "Man, like, yeah, you're going to, you're probably going to have to get surgery."
00:04:31.220 | Like, I remember he told me that.
00:04:32.460 | I was like, "Oh."
00:04:33.460 | Like, I had no idea, like, because I had never had any injuries.
00:04:37.820 | I didn't know that that's how you found out you were going to have to have surgery.
00:04:40.740 | Yeah, like, he just told me because I couldn't do something that he had asked if I could
00:04:44.020 | do through the phone.
00:04:45.860 | And so then I remember, I remember just when that announcement came out, the next couple
00:04:50.940 | days it was like, it was a serious injury and I was probably going to have to have surgery.
00:04:55.180 | Man, it felt like the whole Mizzou fan base, everybody who, everybody just, you know, it
00:05:01.700 | turned, like all that love turned into hate.
00:05:04.540 | Not necessarily hate, but it was like that love wasn't really there.
00:05:07.100 | I heard people telling me, you know, "You're just sitting out a college game so that you
00:05:11.060 | can, like, skip college and go to the NBA."
00:05:13.580 | I had people saying, like, it was all types of stuff.
00:05:16.460 | People were sending me crazy DMs, all this crazy stuff, like, and I was a young kid,
00:05:21.460 | so it was just, that definitely took a toll on my mental.
00:05:23.820 | How old were you?
00:05:24.820 | Were you 18?
00:05:25.820 | I was probably 17 or 18.
00:05:26.820 | I was 18, 18, 19, probably 18.
00:05:30.720 | But I was so used to everything being so easy for me basketball-wise that when that happened,
00:05:35.180 | it was just, like, it was kind of devastating to me, I'm not going to lie.
00:05:40.440 | But then I remember, you know, going through that process of the year rehab and really
00:05:45.900 | deciding early on in that rehab process, "No, I'm going to use this for my benefit."
00:05:50.900 | My whole life, people have been praising me, whatever, but this is a time where I can really
00:05:54.300 | focus on my mental strength, find an identity outside of basketball, and so that's what
00:05:59.340 | I took it as.
00:06:01.820 | And you know, I had doctors telling me I might not play again.
00:06:04.900 | All this crazy stuff.
00:06:05.900 | I mean, you were in the hospital.
00:06:06.900 | You heard me some of those nights when that pain was crazy, and I was just like, "See,
00:06:10.020 | come on."
00:06:11.020 | Let me tell that story real quick.
00:06:12.020 | Yeah, go ahead.
00:06:13.020 | Okay, so we were, he was in Chicago training for the draft, and it was after you got through
00:06:16.260 | all the rehab of your first surgery, and everything was going pretty smooth, like, your workouts
00:06:20.540 | were good, you were looking really healthy.
00:06:22.660 | And then one night, I know your back was bothering you that day a little bit, and then one night,
00:06:27.260 | it was late, it was probably like 1 or 2 in the morning, I was knocked, I was knocked
00:06:31.460 | And then all of a sudden, I hear boom, boom, boom on the wall.
00:06:34.340 | I woke up so fast.
00:06:35.820 | I thought there was a robber.
00:06:36.940 | I thought there was someone.
00:06:37.940 | I text you from my room.
00:06:38.940 | I was like, "Oh my gosh, Michael, did you hear that?
00:06:41.540 | Somebody's breaking in."
00:06:42.540 | And you were like, you text me back, you're like, "That was me.
00:06:44.460 | Can you get me some ice?"
00:06:45.460 | I was like, "It's not funny.
00:06:46.460 | It's really not funny."
00:06:47.460 | But I was like, "That's crazy."
00:06:50.540 | Because I've never, you never handle pain like that.
00:06:53.460 | You never, people thought you were just being soft, I'm like, "That is the realest thing
00:06:57.020 | I've ever seen."
00:06:58.020 | Yeah, no.
00:06:59.020 | So, yeah, what she's talking about, I remember that so vividly, but I had, so basically I
00:07:03.580 | had used that whole year of Mizzou for rehab, and then I was getting healthy again, you
00:07:08.340 | know, getting ready for the pre-draft, feeling decent.
00:07:11.220 | And then what ended up happening was, I don't think I re-injured it, I think it was a different
00:07:16.940 | level of my back or whatever that flared up.
00:07:20.040 | So I ended up having to get another surgery.
00:07:22.820 | And realizing how much effort and time took into that first rehab, and realizing I was
00:07:27.540 | going to have to do that again, even though I was thinking that first rehab period, I'm
00:07:32.420 | going to use this for my benefit, you know, really try to get mentally strong.
00:07:37.140 | Once I heard the news that I was going to have to have a second surgery, it was like,
00:07:43.140 | that definitely put me into a depression mode for a little bit, because I was like, "Dang,
00:07:47.620 | all this time spent, and I'm going to have to do it all over again, and now people are
00:07:50.980 | really going to be scared.
00:07:52.100 | These teams that are drafting me are really going to be scared."
00:07:54.340 | So that's really what happened draft-wise, you know, people are like, "Why did he draft
00:07:57.380 | a 14?"
00:07:59.660 | It was because of that reason, like a lot of teams got scared once they realized I was
00:08:04.860 | going to have to have the second surgery.
00:08:06.380 | I mean, rightfully so.
00:08:09.380 | The doctor who wrote my report said that he didn't think I was going to play again.
00:08:15.380 | So all these teams got really scared.
00:08:17.740 | And I was kind of scared myself, but I just knew in my head, like, "No, like, this is
00:08:21.140 | my purpose.
00:08:22.140 | I'm supposed to walk out my purpose through basketball."
00:08:26.540 | And so that's why, back to the earlier question, Denver.
00:08:30.220 | When Denver drafted me, and they showed that they believed in me, that just made me, like
00:08:35.140 | I said at draft night, and I still say it today, like I want to be the best draft pick
00:08:39.020 | that Denver's ever had, because just of the fact that they believed in me, they trusted
00:08:44.460 | my work ethic, you know, all these things, it just makes me want to help give back to
00:08:47.820 | the program.
00:08:48.820 | And also, you know, I'm, because of God, like I'm healing, like I feel good, better than
00:08:54.500 | ever, and it's just dope.
00:08:57.140 | But back to that question, I think through all of this, now, looking back at that, I
00:09:05.260 | think those two years, two-plus years of rehab, and just time away from basketball and getting
00:09:11.140 | to focus on my mental, not really being in the spotlight, all these things, it helped
00:09:15.380 | create the person that I am today.
00:09:17.340 | And I don't think that I would be who I am today without that period of time.
00:09:20.380 | If I had just got drafted, been the number one pick, whatever, who knows where I would
00:09:25.380 | be without the adversity.
00:09:26.880 | So I really viewed, like I used to think that it was the devil attacking me, like all this
00:09:32.300 | stuff happening because of the devil, but now I view it like, no, God realized there's
00:09:36.060 | way more important things than basketball.
00:09:37.740 | I want you to become this certain type of person.
00:09:40.400 | So I'm going to put you through this really hard thing, and like looking back, it's like
00:09:46.100 | the biggest blessing I could have ever had.
00:09:48.380 | And I think, too, like you said, you had to go through that adversity.
00:09:51.740 | I think that it teaches you that the God that's in the valley with you, the God that's in
00:09:56.380 | the pit with you, is the same God that's there with you on the peaks.
00:09:59.340 | So you're going to have these successes now.
00:10:02.020 | You're pretty well-known now, and I don't think you would have handled that as well
00:10:05.940 | unless you learned that the God that's with you in the valley doesn't leave you, and he's
00:10:09.260 | with you in the peaks, and it's still for him.
00:10:11.180 | He's still the reason.
00:10:12.180 | I don't think I would have handled the success as well, and I just think that there's no
00:10:16.940 | telling like who I would even be.
00:10:20.820 | I mean, who knows if all these things, if the NBA, whatever, would have changed me.
00:10:25.420 | I've seen a lot of people changed by all these things, changed by money, changed by fame,
00:10:29.700 | and when I got to become my own person, aside from basketball, basketball, you know, since
00:10:33.500 | I was three years old, it was all I did.
00:10:35.900 | When I got that break from basketball and got to focus on me, I got to really take time
00:10:39.540 | to develop me, and I think that that is going to take me farther in life than basketball
00:10:44.420 | ever could.
00:10:45.560 | And God will always, like when you give your life to God, he's always going to prune you,
00:10:51.220 | so I just view it as like a pruning process.
00:10:53.340 | I never would have become or fulfill my purpose for him if I wouldn't have went through that
00:10:57.620 | adversity, so I view it as a blessing.
00:11:00.860 | Next question.
00:11:01.860 | This one's, I like this one because it references one of the episodes.
00:11:04.860 | So in the podcast with Aunt Nancy, you mentioned that you accepted God and Christ, but it was
00:11:09.540 | more recent that you started to actually live for him.
00:11:12.420 | What are some ways that you embody Christ-like behavior when it's hard to?
00:11:17.020 | Yeah, well, I think that, like I gave my life to God early on when I was little, but I never
00:11:24.800 | really like really tried to live it out for myself until I got to college and I realized
00:11:30.020 | I could do anything, whatever, and then I realized that's not what I want to be doing.
00:11:35.860 | So now it's definitely a continual process, and every single year I'm trying to like grow
00:11:40.820 | in different characteristics or whatever.
00:11:43.220 | I saw a good quote on Instagram, someone had posted on their story, it was like, "The scariest
00:11:48.180 | thing in the world is to be in the same place that you were last year," and then it was
00:11:52.820 | like, "Grow," and I think that that's all I've tried to do.
00:11:55.940 | I mean, it's hard for anybody when they're not feeling like it to embody Christ, but
00:12:00.580 | I think that the way you do it is spending more time with him and more time of things
00:12:06.340 | that are going to fill you up with good stuff instead of the bad things.
00:12:10.980 | So for me, it's just being consistent in my Bible reading every morning, being consistent
00:12:17.580 | in some of the good music I listen to as well, or some of the good inputs, because I really
00:12:21.500 | feel like you've got a good wolf and a bad wolf inside of you, and it's whatever one
00:12:25.740 | you feed more is going to be winning.
00:12:27.940 | And I think that that's an overall theme for your life, but it's also a daily theme.
00:12:32.580 | If you have more bad input that day than good input, you might act out a little bit more
00:12:37.340 | that day, but if you're filling yourself up that day with good things, then you're probably
00:12:41.500 | going to have more fruit that day.
00:12:43.260 | So that's what I try to do.
00:12:46.660 | >> That's really good.
00:12:47.660 | I think this is a good question too, and it's, "How do you balance discouragement when you're
00:12:52.220 | not seeing results but you're working hard?"
00:12:55.020 | I think that you can kind of tie that into the whole bad wolf, good wolf thing.
00:12:58.340 | >> Say that question one more time.
00:13:01.100 | How do you balance discouragement when not seeing results but you're working hard?
00:13:04.900 | I'm sure you've gone through periods of time where you're working really hard, and everyone
00:13:09.220 | goes through stuff when they're working hard and they plateau, or they aren't seeing the
00:13:13.020 | results.
00:13:14.020 | You can be working really hard in practice and it's not translating to on the court.
00:13:17.140 | Even your first year healthy, you probably didn't get the minutes that you felt like
00:13:20.220 | you wanted to get.
00:13:21.220 | How do you balance that?
00:13:22.700 | >> I think it's keeping your overall goals and your overall vision for your life in mind,
00:13:29.500 | and realizing everything that God's gotten you through.
00:13:32.260 | He's gotten you through those plateaus before, but the plateaus are going to happen again.
00:13:36.020 | When you're in a plateau, staying consistent.
00:13:39.980 | If you don't fall off the rail and get into all your old bad habits and all these things,
00:13:44.540 | and you stay consistent, stay consistent, then you're going to see a growth spurt.
00:13:47.780 | It might plateau a little bit again, but if you stay consistent, you're going to see another
00:13:52.100 | growth spurt.
00:13:53.100 | Life is never just an uphill the whole time.
00:13:56.460 | In that, realizing there's going to be plateaus and times when you're not really seeing the
00:14:00.700 | results of your hard work, those are the times you have to make sure that you're mentally
00:14:05.140 | strong and staying consistent in your grind.
00:14:08.260 | >> For sure.
00:14:10.460 | Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
00:14:13.620 | Do NBA players play for 10 years, or is that like a way-
00:14:16.180 | >> Yeah, no, they play for 10 years.
00:14:17.180 | LeBron's like-
00:14:18.180 | >> Okay, let's just change it to where like, yeah, he's been playing forever.
00:14:20.860 | Let's change it to like post-basketball, because-
00:14:24.460 | >> Post-basketball, well, for me, I think I only want to play about 10 more years.
00:14:29.200 | I want to play like two or three big contracts, and then call it a day, because I want to
00:14:34.660 | be done when I still feel great.
00:14:39.340 | But I think 10 years from now, I'm definitely going to be married.
00:14:41.420 | I'm definitely going to have a few babies.
00:14:44.540 | I think once I'm done with basketball, I want to take some time, get off of all social media,
00:14:50.740 | and just disappear for like a year or two, and go travel the world with my wife and my
00:14:54.940 | family, and just disconnect from the entire world.
00:15:00.700 | As basketball players, we're very used to being in the spotlight.
00:15:03.660 | I want to know what it feels like to just live life without people judging all your
00:15:08.580 | moves and everything, and just find some peace that way.
00:15:11.980 | So that's something I've always wanted to do.
00:15:13.420 | >> I bet that would be harder than you think, because when you're used to getting affirmation
00:15:17.860 | from thousands of people, just going off the radar, and just living it.
00:15:23.020 | >> It definitely would be hard, but it's something that I feel like I've always wanted to do.
00:15:27.700 | >> Yeah.
00:15:28.700 | You've talked about that before.
00:15:29.700 | >> Yeah.
00:15:30.700 | >> Okay.
00:15:31.700 | We're going to do one last one.
00:15:33.700 | Let me find a really good one.
00:15:35.740 | So you live such a busy lifestyle.
00:15:37.600 | How do you keep authentic, genuine relationships with friends and family?
00:15:42.140 | >> Yeah, I think it's impossible to be intentional and be super close with 100 different people.
00:15:49.900 | So for me, it's my family, and then a few people outside of my family, and really trying
00:15:54.740 | to nurture those relationships, and be intentional about hitting them up.
00:15:58.980 | If they call me, I'm intentional about trying to pick up their calls.
00:16:03.020 | I can't do that for tons of different people, but there's definitely a few people that I've
00:16:07.580 | decided that I want in my life, and those are the ones I have to nurture.
00:16:11.260 | So I think it's just, but one thing I've learned is it really is intentionality, because it's
00:16:16.940 | something that I lack.
00:16:17.940 | I tend to just want to go through days, and free flowing, whatever happens, happens.
00:16:22.460 | But to really grow relationships, and to really, it takes a lot of intentionality, because
00:16:28.140 | everyone's busy.
00:16:29.220 | Everyone's so busy doing their thing.
00:16:31.460 | Even the family, everyone's here right now on vacation together, and I'm like, "Dang,
00:16:35.460 | I don't even hit up Isaac that much.
00:16:36.980 | I don't talk to Javon as much as I should."
00:16:39.020 | >> Yeah.
00:16:40.020 | I mean, it's because we're all doing our own things, but it's just intentionality.
00:16:43.340 | >> But, okay, I want to dig a little deeper on that.
00:16:46.300 | Do you think it's hard for you when most people, not people in your life, but most people in
00:16:50.620 | the world have you on a pedestal, but then to, in your genuine relationships and friendships,
00:16:56.820 | level that playing field?
00:16:58.660 | >> That's super important, I think, and that's one of the reasons that I don't think that
00:17:01.460 | I will ever change with any success, or money, or anything, because I have people in my life
00:17:05.940 | that know me for me, and if I got injured and never played again, they'd be the same
00:17:11.060 | towards me.
00:17:12.060 | If I become the best player in the world, they'd be the same towards me.
00:17:14.780 | That's my family, and then my friends outside of my family that I'm close to, so it definitely
00:17:20.860 | is harder, but I have a good intuition.
00:17:24.780 | I can tell right off the bat people's intentions, girls and dudes, just if they want something
00:17:31.820 | from me, and then that just makes you, it definitely makes you put yourself in a shell
00:17:35.980 | a little bit, like you don't really want to branch out to meet more people, but I'm also
00:17:41.060 | just like I got seven siblings, two parents that love me, great friends, like I don't
00:17:45.780 | need that much more.
00:17:46.780 | >> Twenty more, yeah, yeah.
00:17:47.780 | >> Yeah, I don't need that much more.
00:17:48.780 | All I need is a shorty.
00:17:49.780 | >> Cool.
00:17:50.780 | Just a shorty.
00:17:51.780 | There was a lot of questions about that on here, but I didn't ask them.
00:17:55.780 | >> Ask a shorty a question.
00:17:56.780 | >> Okay, there was a lot of, like, what are you looking for in a woman?
00:17:59.780 | >> Oh, you got to be bad for sure, but besides, I mean, before bad, you definitely have to
00:18:09.580 | have a relationship with God, because I'm not trying to pull someone along with me as
00:18:13.060 | I'm trying to, you know, run after my purpose for God, so you have to be on your own already
00:18:18.200 | pursuing God, and a lot of girls will trick you.
00:18:20.260 | They'll act way more spiritual or religious, even though I don't consider myself religious,
00:18:25.420 | but way more spiritual, way more into that stuff, just so that you are interested.
00:18:29.860 | So you got to be able to see through that, but definitely that, number one, but before
00:18:35.700 | that, I definitely got to be attracted to you, and then besides that, I think being
00:18:38.780 | independent, like a lot of, but it's a balance between being independent and being, like,
00:18:43.820 | servant-hearted, because my mom is so servant-hearted, and I know the lifestyle I live, traveling,
00:18:48.700 | whatever, I need a girl who's, like, going to hold it down and, you know, be down for
00:18:53.340 | that, because there's a lot of girls who just want to chase after their dreams as well,
00:18:57.540 | and you can do that, but it has to be a balance of being there for me, and also, and then
00:19:02.540 | you got to be funny, too, because I like to play around a lot, joke around a lot, and
00:19:07.100 | then one thing that I value very, very much is, like, genuineness, down-to-earthness,
00:19:13.260 | someone who can just go be spontaneous with me, and isn't bougie, I can't stand bougie
00:19:19.860 | girls.
00:19:20.860 | - Yeah, I feel that.
00:19:24.100 | It's tough out there for you, but...
00:19:25.660 | - It is, but...
00:19:26.660 | - I'll be on the lookout.
00:19:27.660 | - Yeah.
00:19:28.660 | - I set up Dante.
00:19:29.660 | I can set you up, too.
00:19:30.660 | - Yeah, you can set me up, but you gave me some good advice yesterday.
00:19:33.340 | You were, like, a couple days ago, you were just, like, don't entertain girls that you
00:19:39.060 | don't see yourself with, just wait, figure out how to be content with yourself, become
00:19:44.900 | that person that you want to attract, and then it'll, like, God'll bring it in due time,
00:19:52.140 | - And it's easy for me to say now, because I've gone through three years of being single,
00:19:56.300 | and there was times where it was really hard, and I really just wanted attention, and would
00:19:59.840 | talk to whoever, and then there's, I'm like, first off, time is our most precious commodity.
00:20:03.740 | Why would I waste my time talking to someone that I know, they're not who I want to end
00:20:08.700 | up with, I know it's not going to be a forever thing, like, my time is so precious, and two,
00:20:13.900 | that's other people's feelings, and other people's hearts, so you just got to be, like,
00:20:17.660 | cool by yourself, and then you'll find someone, someone will come along that adds to that,
00:20:22.660 | instead of, like, depending on you, you know what I mean?
00:20:26.140 | Someone's already there, too, and is cool with themselves.
00:20:27.700 | - How tall are you, 6'3"?
00:20:29.060 | - Yeah.
00:20:30.060 | - Any 6'3" plus dudes out there watching this, you definitely got to, I got to interview
00:20:35.580 | you first to make sure that you're worthy, but she's single, and she's a great young
00:20:40.900 | gal, so.
00:20:41.900 | - I'm cutting this out.
00:20:42.900 | - Instagram?
00:20:43.900 | - I'm cutting this out.
00:20:44.900 | - See you there, boy.
00:20:45.900 | - I'm cutting this out.
00:20:46.900 | - Hit her up.
00:20:47.900 | Well, no, hit me up, and then I'll see if you're worthy, and then we'll go from there.
00:20:51.860 | - Anyways, great job answering questions.
00:20:54.020 | We'll wrap this up.
00:20:55.020 | - Sounds good.
00:20:56.020 | Appreciate you guys for tuning in.
00:20:57.020 | We out.
