00:00 We got the whole gang in here. How's everybody doing?
00:04 Hope everybody's safe. Y'all look fabulous.
00:06 The quarantine has done wonders for y'all's skin.
00:10 Well, first of all, I don't really even think
00:12 it's about the season.
00:13 It's still about, you know, practicing social distancing,
00:16 doing what the government is telling us to do,
00:19 'cause at the end of the day,
00:20 while the whole country's a big family,
00:23 we got to keep each other safe and, you know,
00:26 practice social distancing and make sure everybody,
00:28 you know, gets back to normal eventually, hopefully.
00:31 Oh, no, I was actually in Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:35 -Oh. -Yeah, I was with my dad.
00:36 I was with the whole family.
00:38 It was after, you know, everybody had to go home.
00:40 -Yeah. -Oh, no, it's definitely --
00:43 It's half and half.
00:44 It's what it needs to be at the right time.
00:47 Actually, my dad's with the Texans right now,
00:50 so he wouldn't have had as much time, you know,
00:54 to, you know, help me develop some new skills
00:56 as he would if he'd been a college coach,
00:57 'cause he would have been dealing with,
00:58 you know, other 19-, 20-, 21-year-olds.
01:02 So this quarantine has been helpful.
01:05 We did, you know, do some work.
01:06 He helped me, you know, craft some new moves
01:09 for this upcoming season,
01:10 just worked on some technical things.
01:11 So I guess you can't say it's an advantage,
01:15 you know, having my dad be a coach,
01:16 an elite coach at that.
01:18 And so I'm very gracious and blessed to have him in my life.
