00:00my mom loves that kind of stuff uh my dad i don't know i guess he liked it too but my mom really

00:04loves the she was always saying when we used to watch jj watch she's like jj always says hi to

00:09his mom i'm like okay on a big time tv game i think that was the appropriate time to do it

00:13did you have that in your back pocket ready to go well i kind of wanted to do something like to

00:17the ravens fans but i didn't want to get fined so i kind of just put my hands up and then i said

00:22happy things to my mom and dad very wholesome yeah yeah yeah after yeah but my first thoughts

00:27weren't to be super wholesome but it turned out that way how important is a mental reset

00:32right at this point of the season obviously you want the physical reset like you talked about

00:37but the mental one as well to get refreshed for the last five games yeah i think it's big um a lot of

00:42guys um now have something to think about in a positive way i think and uh if you can just build

00:47on that mentally it'll help you physically as well on the outside obviously a lot of people are talking

00:52about the last five games what is the challenge of keeping it game to game at this point with so

00:58much on the line i think that's how you have to do it i think as a person in this profession you always

01:04have to think about it game to game because you know i mean you can make up for a good game the

01:09next week or a bad game the next week so um every game is big but it shouldn't be bigger than it really

01:15is yeah uh what was it like having joe back there now that you've had a couple of days to think

01:22about what kind of impact he truly has it's it's nice you know i mean it's uh that's the guy that

01:27this organization believes in that the team believes in so it was great to have him back

01:31you know just everyone just has to play their game confidently and fast and uh just trust themselves

01:44and i think you know people will be in good spots if that happens as a hawaii native what was the

01:50coldest weather you played in at princeton um there was one game at yankee stadium we played

01:55dartmouth not a great game for us my sophomore year well we didn't have coats or warmers so like

02:00it was it was in the we're we're trenched up over there in princeton uh that was probably like 20

02:05something degrees 19 15 something yeah but no coats though so it was tough why do you have coats or

02:10warmers sorry i don't know i think i'm gonna have to i think i'm gonna have to donate some

02:13some coats this year because i've seen those guys on the sideline like i remember we went went up to

02:18play cornell it was raining 20 degrees no coats and we're there the whole it was it was bad so

02:23we gotta do something princeton university the ivy league school didn't have coats when it was well

02:27it the athletic the athletic funding is different than the you know what we have for the university

02:33so i think i'm gonna have to take matters into my own hands for sure is that something that took a

02:38lot to get used to here i mean you've had some cold games um no not really i did four years there

02:42no coats so uh it was it was honestly great when i got here i was pretty happy
