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.
00:00:59.900 | The people are so down to earth.
00:01:01.140 | You know, it's a very healthy culture.
00:01:02.900 | I've met tons of great people.
00:01:05.600 | So off the court, it's been really just relaxing for me.
00:01:08.140 | 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.
00:01:33.740 | So it's definitely a blessing to be on a team like that.
00:01:37.100 | For sure.
00:01:38.540 | Okay.
00:01:39.580 | What are your season superstitions or pregame rituals?
00:01:43.540 | 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.
00:01:54.900 | 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.
00:02:02.700 | 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.
00:02:23.580 | Because you can get in the thought process of how important the game is, but there's
00:02:27.380 | way more important things going on.
00:02:28.840 | So when I can 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.
00:02:37.100 | That's good.
00:02:38.100 | I feel like you can tell the games where you're really playing free and just...
00:02:42.620 | Yeah.
00:02:43.620 | I mean, I think it's...
00:02:45.620 | Some players, when they are really, really just locked in, thinking a lot, play their
00:02:49.580 | best.
00:02:50.580 | But for me, when I'm playing free, just letting instinct take over, and just being myself,
00:02:56.220 | then that's when I have my by-far the best game.
00:02:59.700 | 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.
00:03:07.780 | 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.
00:03:19.860 | That was definitely a trying time in my life, because my whole basketball career was just
00:03:23.500 | easy, easy, easy.
00:03:24.740 | 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.
00:03:45.320 | It was crazy.
00:03:46.320 | 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 was like, "Dad,
00:03:55.580 | I can't play.
00:03:56.580 | I'm going through warm-up lines, and I can't really jump.
00:03:58.380 | 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, so coach was just like,
00:04:07.540 | "Mike, you got to start the game, but we'll pull you out right away."
00:04:09.660 | So I was like, "Dang."
00:04:10.820 | So I go in, knowing I'm coming out, and then I end up going to the locker room, and I get
00:04:18.220 | on the phone with the doctor, and he's like asking me if I can do certain things, and
00:04:22.020 | I'm trying it, you know, trying all these different exercises, whatever, I'm like, "I
00:04:25.260 | can't do these right now.
00:04:26.260 | I don't know what's going on."
00:04:27.260 | And he's like, "Man, like, yeah, you're going to, you're probably going to have to get surgery."
00:04:31.140 | 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.
00:04:37.860 | I didn't know that that's how you found out you were going to have to have surgery.
00:04:40.660 | 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
00:04:51.060 | of days, it was like, it was a serious injury, and I was probably going to have to have surgery.
00:04:55.060 | Man, it felt like the whole Mizzou fan base, everybody who, everybody just, you know, it
00:05:01.700 | turned.
00:05:02.700 | Like, all that love turned into hate.
00:05:04.540 | Not necessarily hate, but it was like that love wasn't really there, but I heard people
00:05:07.740 | telling me, you know, "You're just sitting at a college game so that you can, like, skip
00:05:12.100 | 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,
00:05:21.440 | so it was just, that definitely took a toll on my mental.
00:05:23.660 | How old were you?
00:05:24.660 | Were you 18?
00:05:25.660 | I was probably 17 or 18.
00:05:26.660 | I was, uh, 18, 18, 19, probably 18.
00:05:30.740 | 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, 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,
00:06:09.940 | come on."
00:06:10.940 | Let me tell that story real quick.
00:06:11.940 | Yeah, go ahead.
00:06:12.940 | 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, and then one night, I know your back was bothering
00:06:24.660 | you that day a little bit, and then one night, it was late, it was probably like one or two
00:06:28.500 | in the morning, I was knocked, I was knocked out, and all of a sudden I hear, "Boom, boom,
00:06:33.540 | boom," on the wall.
00:06:34.540 | And I woke up so fast, 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?
00:06:41.100 | Somebody's breaking in."
00:06:42.100 | And you were like, you text me back, you're like, "That was me.
00:06:44.420 | Can you get me some ice?"
00:06:45.420 | I was like, "It's not funny.
00:06:46.420 | It's really not funny."
00:06:48.420 | But I was like, "That's crazy," because I've never, you never handle pain like that.
00:06:53.480 | You never, people thought you were just being soft, and I'm like, "That was the realest
00:06:56.900 | thing I've ever seen."
00:06:57.900 | Yeah, no.
00:06:58.900 | So, yeah, what she's talking about, I remember that so vividly, but I had, so basically I
00:07:03.660 | had used that whole year of Mizzou for rehab, and then I was getting healthy again, getting
00:07:08.660 | ready for the pre-draft, feeling decent, and then what ended up happening was I don't think
00:07:15.540 | I re-injured it.
00:07:16.540 | I think it was a different level in my back or whatever that flared up.
00:07:20.060 | So I ended up having to get another surgery, and realizing how much effort and time took
00:07:25.180 | into that first rehab, and realizing I was going to have to do that again, even though
00:07:29.580 | I was thinking that first rehab period, I'm going to use this for my benefit, really try
00:07:35.420 | to get mentally strong.
00:07:37.100 | Once I heard the news that I was going to have to have a second surgery, it was like,
00:07:43.120 | 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.
00:07:56.620 | People are like, "Why did he draft a 14?"
00:07:59.660 | It was because of that reason.
00:08:02.660 | A lot of teams got scared once they realized I was going to have to have a second surgery.
00:08:06.420 | I mean, rightfully so.
00:08:09.420 | The doctor who wrote my report said that he didn't think I was going to play again.
00:08:15.400 | So all these teams got really scared.
00:08:17.780 | I was kind of scared myself, but I just knew in my head, "No, this is my purpose.
00:08:22.140 | I'm supposed to walk out my purpose through basketball."
00:08:27.780 | 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, I want to be the best draft pick that
00:08:39.140 | Denver has ever had, because just of the fact that they believed in me, they trusted my
00:08:44.540 | work ethic, all these things, it just makes me want to help give back to the program,
00:08:48.380 | and also, because of God, I'm healing, I feel good, better than ever, and it's just dope.
00:08:59.280 | Back to that question, I think through all of this, now, looking back at that, I think
00:09:05.460 | those two plus years of rehab, and just time away from basketball, and getting to focus
00:09:11.560 | on my mental, not really being in the spotlight, all these things, it helped create the person
00:09:16.580 | that I am today.
00:09:17.580 | I don't think that I would be who I am today without that period of time.
00:09:20.460 | If I had just got drafted, been the number one pick, whatever, who knows where I would
00:09:25.420 | be without the adversity, so I really viewed, like I used to think that it was the devil
00:09:29.420 | attacking me, like all this stuff happening because of the devil, but now I view it like,
00:09:34.340 | no, God realized there's way more important things than basketball, I want you to become
00:09:38.500 | this certain type of person, so I'm going to put you through this really hard thing,
00:09:44.220 | and looking back, it's like 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, I think that it
00:09:52.300 | teaches you that the God that's in the valley with you, that God that's in the pit with
00:09:56.900 | you, is the same God that's there with you on the peaks, so you're going to have these
00:10:01.100 | successes now, you're pretty well known now, and I don't think you would have handled that
00:10:05.420 | as well unless you learned that the God that's with you in the valley doesn't leave you,
00:10:09.180 | and he's with you in the peaks, and it's still for him, he's still the reason.
00:10:12.100 | I don't think I would have handled the success as well, and I just think that there's no
00:10:16.980 | telling who I would even be, I mean, who knows if all these things, if the NBA, whatever,
00:10:24.580 | would have changed me.
00:10:25.580 | 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
00:10:44.380 | ever could, and God will always, like, when you give your life to God, he's always going
00:10:50.260 | to prune you, so I just view it as a pruning process.
00:10:53.340 | I never would have become or fulfilled my purpose for him if I wouldn't have went through
00:10:57.380 | that 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.
00:11:04.840 | So in the podcast with Aunt Nancy, you mentioned that you accepted God and Christ, but it was
00:11:09.520 | more recent that you started to actually live for him.
00:11:12.380 | What are some ways that you embody Christ-like behavior when it's hard to?
00:11:16.780 | Yeah, well, I think that, like, I gave my life to God early on when I was little, but
00:11:24.500 | I never really, like, really tried to live it out for myself until I got to college and
00:11:29.540 | I realized I could do anything, whatever, and then I realized that's not what I want
00:11:33.500 | to be doing.
00:11:35.820 | So now it's definitely a continual process, and every single year I'm trying to, like,
00:11:39.860 | grow in different characteristics or whatever.
00:11:43.200 | I saw a good quote on Instagram.
00:11:45.720 | Someone had posted on their story, it was like, "The scariest thing in the world is
00:11:48.800 | to be in the same place that you were last year," and then it was like, "Grow."
00:11:54.280 | And I think that that's all I've tried to do.
00:11:55.920 | I mean, it's hard for anybody when they're not feeling like it to embody Christ, but
00:12:00.560 | I think that the way you do it is spending more time with Him and more time of things
00:12:06.320 | that are going to fill you up with good stuff instead of the bad things.
00:12:10.960 | So, like, for me it's just being consistent in my Bible reading every morning, you know,
00:12:16.800 | being consistent in some of the good music I listen to as well, or some of the good inputs,
00:12:21.120 | because I really feel like you've got a good wolf and a bad wolf inside of you, and it's
00:12:25.080 | whatever one you feed more is going to be winning.
00:12:27.960 | And I think that that's an overall theme for your life, but it's also a daily theme.
00:12:32.480 | Like if you have more bad input that day than good input, you might act out a little bit
00:12:37.160 | more that day, but if you're filling yourself up that day with good things, then you're
00:12:41.220 | probably going to have more fruit that day.
00:12:43.240 | So that's what I try to do.
00:12:45.440 | >> That's really good.
00:12:47.200 | I think this is a good question too, and it's, "How do you balance discouragement when you're
00:12:52.200 | not seeing results but you're working hard?"
00:12:55.000 | I think that you can kind of tie that into the whole bad wolf, good wolf thing.
00:12:58.120 | >> Say that question one more time?
00:13:01.080 | >> How do you balance discouragement when not seeing results but you're working hard?
00:13:04.800 | Like I'm sure you've gone through periods of time where you're working really hard and
00:13:08.220 | you, I mean, everyone goes through stuff when they're working hard and they plateau, or
00:13:12.240 | they aren't seeing the results.
00:13:13.240 | Like you can be working really hard in practice and it's not translating to on the court.
00:13:16.600 | I mean, even your first year healthy, you probably didn't get the minutes that you felt
00:13:20.080 | like you wanted to get.
00:13:21.080 | So how do you balance that?
00:13:22.680 | >> I think it's keeping your overall goals and your overall vision for your life in mind
00:13:29.240 | and realizing everything that God's gotten you through, he's gotten you through those
00:13:32.920 | plateaus before, but the plateaus are going to happen again.
00:13:35.840 | So when you're in a plateau, like staying consistent.
00:13:39.960 | If you don't fall off the rail and get into all your old bad habits and all these things
00:13:44.400 | and you stay consistent, stay consistent, then you're going to see a growth spurt.
00:13:47.800 | And then it might plateau a little bit again, but if you stay consistent, you're going to
00:13:51.760 | see another growth spurt.
00:13:52.760 | Like life is never just an uphill the whole time.
00:13:55.560 | So realizing that and realizing there's going to be plateaus and times when you're not really
00:14:00.320 | seeing the results of your hard work, those are the times you have to make sure that you're
00:14:04.760 | mentally strong and staying consistent in your grind.
00:14:08.280 | >> For sure.
00:14:10.480 | 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?
00:14:16.240 | >> Yeah, no, they play for 10 years.
00:14:17.240 | >> Okay, let's just change it to where like, yeah, he's been playing forever.
00:14:20.880 | Let's change it to like post-basketball because.
00:14:24.520 | >> Post-basketball.
00:14:25.520 | Well, for me, I think I only want to play about 10 more years.
00:14:29.240 | I want to play like two or three big contracts and then call it a day because I want to be
00:14:34.760 | done when I still feel great.
00:14:39.360 | But I think 10 years from now, I'm definitely going to be married.
00:14:41.440 | 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 and get off of all social
00:14:50.080 | media and just disappear for like a year or two and go travel the world with my wife and
00:14:54.840 | my family and just disconnect from the entire world.
00:14:58.800 | And, you know, as basketball players, we're very used to being in the spotlight.
00:15:03.640 | I want to know what it feels like to just live life without, you know, people judging
00:15:08.080 | all your moves and everything and just find some peace that way.
00:15:11.960 | So that's something I've always wanted to do.
00:15:13.360 | >> I bet that would be harder than you think because when you're used to getting like affirmation
00:15:17.840 | from thousands of people just going off the radar and just living it.
00:15:23.040 | >> It definitely would be hard, but it's something that I feel like I've always wanted to do.
00:15:27.720 | >> Yeah.
00:15:28.720 | You've talked about that before.
00:15:29.720 | >> Yeah.
00:15:30.720 | >> Okay.
00:15:31.720 | We're going to do one last one.
00:15:33.680 | Let me find a really good one.
00:15:35.720 | So you live such a busy lifestyle.
00:15:37.560 | How do you keep authentic, genuine relationships with friends and family?
00:15:42.080 | >> Yeah, I think it's impossible to be intentional and be super close with 100 different people.
00:15:49.880 | So for me, it's my family and then a few few people outside of my family and really trying
00:15:54.720 | to nurture those relationships and be intentional about hitting them up.
00:15:58.120 | You know, if they call me, I'm intentional about trying to pick up their calls like I
00:16:03.000 | can't do that for tons of different people.
00:16:05.880 | But there's definitely a few people that I've decided that I want in my life.
00:16:09.920 | And those are the ones I have to nurture.
00:16:11.260 | So I think it's just one thing I've learned is it really is intentionality because it's
00:16:16.800 | something that I lack.
00:16:17.800 | I tend to just want to go through days and, you know, free flowing, whatever happens happens.
00:16:22.480 | But to really grow relationships and to really it takes a lot of intentionality because everyone's
00:16:28.200 | busy.
00:16:29.200 | Everyone's so busy doing their thing, even like the family, like everyone's here right
00:16:33.080 | now on vacation together.
00:16:34.200 | And I'm like, dang, I don't even hit up Isaac that much.
00:16:37.000 | I don't talk to Javon as much as I should.
00:16:39.320 | >> Yeah.
00:16:40.320 | Sometimes we're all doing our own things, but it's just intentionality.
00:16:43.280 | >> But, OK, I want to dig a little deeper on that.
00:16:46.320 | Do you think it's hard for you when most people, not people in your life, but most people in
00:16:50.640 | the world have you on a pedestal, but then to like in your genuine relationships and
00:16:55.320 | friendships, like level that playing field?
00:16:58.720 | >> That's super important, I think.
00:16:59.840 | And that's one of the reasons that I don't think that I will ever change with any success
00:17:03.300 | and money or anything, because I have people in my life that know me for me.
00:17:08.160 | And if I got injured and never played again, they'd be the same towards me.
00:17:11.760 | If I become the best player in the world, they'd be the same towards me.
00:17:14.840 | That's my family.
00:17:15.840 | And then like my friends outside of my family that I'm close to.
00:17:19.040 | So it definitely is harder, but like I have a good intuition.
00:17:24.840 | I can tell right off the bat people's intentions, like girls and dudes, just like if they want
00:17:31.580 | something from me.
00:17:33.200 | And then that just makes you, it definitely makes you put yourself in a shell a little
00:17:37.360 | Like you want to branch out to meet more people.
00:17:40.720 | But I'm also just like, I got seven siblings, two parents that love me, great friends.
00:17:45.120 | Like I don't need that much more than, I don't need that much more.
00:17:48.920 | All I need is a shorty.
00:17:49.920 | >> Cool.
00:17:50.920 | Just a shorty.
00:17:51.920 | There was a lot of questions about that on here, but I didn't ask a shorty question.
00:17:56.520 | >> Okay.
00:17:57.520 | There was a lot of like, what are you looking for in a woman?
00:18:01.000 | >> Oh, you got to be bad for sure.
00:18:04.120 | I mean, before bad, you definitely have to have a relationship with God because I'm not
00:18:11.000 | trying to pull someone along with me as I'm trying to, you know, run after my purpose
00:18:15.400 | for God.
00:18:16.400 | So you have to be on your own already pursuing God.
00:18:18.960 | And a lot of girls will trick you.
00:18:20.280 | They'll act way more spiritual or religious, even though I don't consider myself religious.
00:18:25.480 | But way more spiritual, way more into that stuff just so that you are interested.
00:18:29.880 | So you got to be able to see through that, but definitely that, number one.
00:18:35.160 | But before that, I definitely got to be attracted to you.
00:18:37.120 | And then besides that, I think being independent, like a lot of, but it's a balance between
00:18:42.200 | being independent and being like servant-hearted.
00:18:45.200 | Because my mom is so servant-hearted, and I know the lifestyle I live, traveling, whatever,
00:18:49.360 | I need a girl who's like going to hold it down and, you know, be down for that.
00:18:53.520 | Because there's a lot of girls who just want to chase after their dreams as well.
00:18:57.520 | And you can do that, but it has to be a balance of being there for me and also, and then you
00:19:02.560 | got to be funny too, because I like to play around a lot, joke around a lot.
00:19:07.040 | And then one thing that I value very, very much is like genuineness, down-to-earthness,
00:19:13.240 | someone who can just go be spontaneous with me, and isn't bougie.
00:19:18.680 | I can't stand bougie girls.
00:19:20.760 | Yeah.
00:19:21.760 | Yeah.
00:19:22.760 | I feel that.
00:19:24.080 | It's tough out there for you, but...
00:19:26.920 | It is, but...
00:19:27.920 | I'll be on the lookout.
00:19:28.920 | Yeah.
00:19:29.920 | I set up Dante.
00:19:30.920 | I can set you up too.
00:19:31.920 | Yeah, you can set me up.
00:19:32.920 | But you gave me some good advice yesterday.
00:19:33.920 | You were like, a couple of days ago, you were just like, don't entertain girls that you
00:19:39.040 | don't see yourself with, just wait, figure out how to be content with yourself, become
00:19:44.840 | that person that you want to attract, and then it'll, like God will bring it in due
00:19:50.480 | time, so.
00:19:51.480 | And it's easy for me to say now, because I've gone through three years of being single,
00:19:56.260 | and there was times where it was really hard, and I really just wanted attention, and would
00:19:59.800 | talk to whoever, and then there's, I'm like, first off, time is our most precious commodity.
00:20:03.720 | Why would I waste my time talking to someone that I know, they're not who I want to end
00:20:08.640 | up with, I know it's not going to be a forever thing, like, my time is so precious, and two,
00:20:13.800 | like, that's other people's feelings, and other people's hearts, so you just got to
00:20:17.280 | be like, cool by yourself, and then you'll find someone, someone will come along that
00:20:21.640 | adds to that, instead of, like, depending on you, you know what I mean?
00:20:26.080 | Someone's already there, too, and it's cool with them, so.
00:20:27.660 | How tall are you?
00:20:28.660 | 6'3"?
00:20:29.660 | Yeah.
00:20:30.660 | Any 6'3" plus dudes out there watching this, you definitely got to, I got to interview
00:20:35.660 | you first to make sure that you're worthy, but she's single, and she's a great young
00:20:40.820 | gal, so.
00:20:41.820 | I'm cutting this out.
