00:00Yeah, yeah, that's that's cool, you know, I mean, um, that would be exciting to
00:06know to return here, um, and whatnot. And, uh, you know, shout out joe. So
00:11you're not ruling it out as a possibility at this point. Have things
00:14changed? Uh, things never changed. I never, I never ruled it out. Um, you
00:20know, the media is going to persuade things the way they want to persuade
00:24things, you know what I mean? So, uh, we'll see. It's actually feasible for
00:28them to be able to get what you want to make and what they're gonna be able
00:31to do under the cap. You feel like there's gonna be enough of a middle
00:33ground that you're gonna be happy with both sides of that. That's a question
00:36for upstairs. I have no clue. Is this season and the way it's gone, like you
00:39feel like there's unfinished business with the three of you guys to want to
00:42keep going like that together. Is that part of the motivating factor for you
00:45to, uh, I guess, I guess you could say that, you know what I mean? Um, the
00:49season definitely hasn't been going how we want it. But, you know, I'm gonna
00:53take the positive from tonight and we got to win. So
00:58put you in his game captains and, you know, that's kind of uncharacteristic
01:04him to do that. What did you think that sense? I don't want to be a captain
01:07when I played that
01:10I didn't know catches in the second half. That's not good enough for me.
01:13You know what I mean? So no more captain for me. He was sending a message or
01:18something. What did you think? You know, um, you know, I appreciate him for sure.
01:22Um, you know, that's that's that's that's a big that's a big moment for
01:24me. I'm just I was just joking. But, um, that's a that's a big moment for
01:28me, you know? Um, I guess for all three of us, you know? Um, and I guess I
01:32guess you can say he was trying to send a message, I guess so.
01:38Yeah.
01:42One more time. Oh, no. He just takes in the group. So you guys are captain.
01:47So
01:49realize what kind of special bond
01:52the three of you have because Joe spends a good amount of time talking
01:56about the bond. Yeah, we have. We have a real, real, real, um, genuine bond.
01:59You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Um, blood can make us no
02:02no closer. Do you want to return to Cincinnati? Uh, I grew a love for the
02:07city for sure. And I grew a love for this team. Um, and these coaches. So,
02:10um, yeah, I'm not ruling it out. I mean, obviously, we're never gonna be
02:14the position you're in. So, I mean, how do you how do you balance all the
02:17relationships all the time here with kind of also making sure you set
02:20yourself up financially the way you want to? How do you go about kind of
02:23balancing both of those things and obviously having the relationship with
02:26a guy like Joe? Um, you know, the relationships is more important. Um,
02:32you know, financially, that's that's gonna come. I'll leave that up to the
02:35man above above. You know what I mean? Um, yeah, just go from there.
02:42Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
02:45I hope so. So fuck.
02:47I mean, so you feel like you feel like, I mean, I think all of us thought that
02:52probably wasn't gonna be in the cards given the way you genuinely feel. That's
02:56a legit possibility that they could. They could do that. Yeah, it's possible.
02:59If shit if Joe said it, yeah, it's possible. Is that the kind of way that
03:02you feel like he's got? If he feels like, you know, he's someone he believes
03:06in that he's gonna do whatever it takes to make me stay here. Yeah,
03:09definitely believe in them. Um, and you know, shout out Joe again. He played a
03:13hell of a game today and we won't go back to the game. He played a hell of
03:16a game today. Him and Jamar and you know, I'm proud of those guys. What do
03:18you think about your man?
03:20Man, it's killing first half. I'm like, bro, you got like 100 yards. He's like,
03:23what? I'm like, Yeah, bro, you're going crazy right now. Just keep that shit
03:26up. And you know, I talked to him after the game and I said, bro, you had a
03:29hell of a game. You stepped up when we needed you and man, we're gonna need
03:32you for four years to come. So, I mean, yeah, another thing Joe said was, I'm
03:37sure this has been your stance the whole time, but Jamar is worth every
03:41penny. For sure.
03:43This season has put an exclamation mark on that. For sure. He just, he just
03:46proved this shit today. You know what I'm saying? How many yards you have?
03:48170, 180. Shoot, that's 180 in my book. You know what I'm saying? So, man just
03:54went crazy. He's worth every freaking penny and he's showing it day in, day
04:00out, game by game. You know what I mean? So, do you feel like you're the type of
04:04trio that a team can build its entire identity around and go win at the
04:08highest level? Oh, yeah, man. I think so. You know what I mean? But, um, I
04:13don't want to speak too early. You know what I mean? Um, who, who knows what
04:16the future holds?
04:18Did you appreciate the opportunity to walk out there with Jamar and Joe? Oh,
04:22yeah, for sure, man. That was the first time ever doing that. And, you know,
04:26um, it's like, like, like y'all said, this could be my last season. So, I
04:29definitely appreciated it. Uh, for sure. Uh, love those guys to death. So,
04:38yeah.
