They were like best friends.
159:11
Yeah, so they were inseparable.
159:13
So then I'm sitting there.
159:14
We're lifting weights with Royals and Dungy's like, look, he doesn't want his own room.
159:19
Would you like to have your own room? I'm thinking like, Royals, come on.
159:21
You're my boy.
159:21
You're my holder.
160:56
we always say when uh let's just say a kicker kicker misses the field goal at the end and the game is over or a player does something stupid to cost them the game we're always like oh that's gonna be uncomfortable fight home is it uncomfortable fight home like you just sit there silent or do you ignore the guy you screwed up

And I think that keeping him around is even bigger because I think now that he has a full cycle, he's going to actually be able to do what he wants to do with the team.
31:06
I think so, too.
31:07
And nothing against the European coaches, but they're very excellent with X's and O's.
31:11
And the thing is, we needed grit.
31:14
Right.
31:14
You know, we need X's and O's.
31:15
A little bit of culture.

It was

Is there any story that's like super memorable to you about like the families that moved in or anything that always sticks with you?
11:13
Yeah, no, my favorite one, and he's part of the family now.
11:15
He doesn't have a choice.
11:16
It's Charlie Lemon.
11:17
He's our first recipient.
11:19
So the whole deal started because I was playing in a flag football game in the Super Bowl, and J.R. Martinez, who then went dancing with the stars, he was a military that had 60% of his body burned, but incredible guy.
11:34
So we're playing in this flag football, and then I hear him talking about Home for Our Troops that – that builds homes for veterans.

So is it like a full body CT? Is that what it is?
44:46
Yeah, right.
44:47
Right, you guys.
44:47
I had to be a kicker.
44:49
Uh, but yeah, no, you explained it perfect.
44:51
I... for any soccer fan, the kicker is like the goalkeeper, you know, because you can make five kicks, and then you miss the last one, they're like, "Oh, you cost us the game." Keeper can make, you know, 10 great saves.
45:03
He lets an easy one in, they're gonna blame him.
45:05
But I do feel like the kicker has just a little bit more pressure because most people don't know there's only one kicker per team, so you're either employed or unemployed.

What does it mean to have a World Cup here in Florida, in your own backyard? And what do you imagine it's gonna do for this nation and its football fandom?
