time where you were where I didn't look like but

do that. So here we go. We've got the leaden hosen.
Oh yeah, that is uh are you wearing? I believe
this is when I lived in Atlanta. Problem. I'm just
gonna keep saying Easter or a special occasion so that
these linen outfits that my mother was dressing me in
seem more special than they were every day. But uh yeah,

I'm I mean, I'm already dribbling left handed. I mean,
I wish I could have jumped, kid jump. That's my
grandmother in the background, looking on with approval. I believe
as I hit a crossover at two years old, this
is more of the grain, I was thinking, Yeah, this

you Page the grass, and I'm on the grass getting
after a little bit of ardwork. Look, I got some
steel toe boots on and uh, just for safety measures.

long hair, and so that was a blanket that we
she liked to wear around her, you know, around her

(15:56):
head to give her the long hair field. Uh, there
you go. There it is again in a seers sucker
overall of some sort hooping. Mm hmm. Oh. I don't

Like that dude right there sitting down at the bar
with a scotch. I wouldn't blink twice. Yeah, like you know,
have the sides a couple of teeth missing, you know,

fight or something. Okay, there we go. Well, I would say,

when you scored. It was like your dad's like, hey,
spike it. Yeah, so that's what you do every time. Yeah,
so I scored, spiked it. Haven't spiked a center penalty,
have not celebrated since. Ruined it. Ro off the bat. God,
it's like PTSD on the spikes right there. But it
ruined it for me. So you just you know, and
we handed to the ref. Yeah. Will you started playing

(29:14):
like organized football fourth grade. I think I've told you
this before, but we were playing six man football back
in the day with other helmets, yes, leather helmets, no mouthpiece,
salt tablets and cigarettes at halftime. No, it was uh
we uh six man football at the YMCA in Dallas. Yeah,

(29:35):
and so a lot of teams were like three three
two split two spread out quarterback or like a running
back and one receiver whatever. Everybody was kind of eligible
to go out for a pass, but we did center quarterback. Four.
We see flag football now except tackle correct, no blocker.
Dad says, I figured out it was a big field. Yeah,
it might have been like eighty yards or sixty yards

(29:56):
and a little bit. I think maybe a little tighter.
I think it was like sixty by forty or eighty
by forty like that. But it was kind of a
cool way to like get everybody involved, so somebody wasn't
just like stuck playing a line or never touched on
the BA. But those are kind of my earliest memories. Quarterback,
middle linebacker. Of course, every quarterback thinks they're a middle linebacker. Yeah,

(30:16):
until you have to tackle a favorite meal as a kid,
a kid, you're weird eating habits? Do I have any where?
They You can discuss them now, But I was saying,
where as a kid, Yeah, as a kid, My favorite
meal was probably There's a really famous little burger joint
in Dallas called Jack's Burger House, really good cheeseburger franchise.

(30:37):
I have since taken my family there when we go
back to Dallas to give it to him. It was
took the twins there really early, they were super small,
fed them the burgers. One of them had an allergic reaction,
which was awesome. No, she was totally fine, but just
you know, just real red and patchy. Nothing against Jacksburger House.
Never gave me one, but uh yeah, that was my

(31:01):
That was my go to growing up. That was probably
my favorite weird eating habits. I was a pretty normal eater.
I asked. I just remember, for some reason, I thought
it would be funny slash grown up to here goes
to the old man. As a young kid seven year
old birthday, asked my dad to make swordfish on the
grill for me. Of course, I don't know why, but

(31:23):
I've never lived that one down. My family's like, what
were you doing? But yeah, so that's my one weird
weird eating habit. What about your favorite meals? Kid? Oh man,
I don't know. I didn't. I love to eat. I
would say pork like, well, no, I I grew into
the full pork sandwiches. I just didn't really get to

(31:44):
have a pull pork sandwich until later on. Yeah, I
would say I was a big like seafood crab boil. Yeah,
that would have been like my favorite thing. Really, Like
I thought that red lobster, Yeah was it the I
didn't think there was anything above red opster. Red lobster
was the pinnacle of restaurant life. So if you go,

(32:08):
I've grown out of that one. Nothing against red lobster
except that it's just good. I don't have anything weird.
I don't think. Yeah, I don't think. I drink a
lot of chocolate milk. Really. I fel like because of
the like it was good for you after a workout,

(32:29):
or just because you liked it. I just really liked.
So I would go through like I would have like
three big mugs of if we had rout beer mugs, yeah,
probably beer mugs ut beer for us, and I'd fill
one of those up with chocolate milk three times a day. Oh. Yeah,
I wasn't a big milk drinker. I mean I had some,

(32:50):
but not weird. Because you're from Texas, which seems like
more of a I know it's a butter milk thing,
like butter milk. I don't know. I like buttermilk pancakes.
I don't know that i've had it. Oh, yeah, I
don't know that I've had it in liquid form. Yeah,
I don't know if it would be good to drink.
Sounds very fattening. Music of choice did you ever have

(33:12):
a phase? You have a phase growing up? She's music first,
And then I want to know about your own music
of choice, Like, I feel like I didn't listen to
a ton of music. I started listening to a lot
of like rap and hip hop when I was in
like middle school and high school. Your sinatrea obviously growing

(33:32):
up and you were really young. No, I remember getting
a Hansen CD at one point for Christmas. Shout out
to those guys. Do you know who that is? Hanson? Yeah,
I've heard of them. Yeah. And then my first concert
was a Spice Girls concert, which is a tough one.
Sister's birthday? Is it that one I just got? It's

(33:53):
just tough to say that I hurt, but I got.
I got drunk to it, and do you have a
good time? I don't remember there were probably like a
lot of girls around, so I was probably into that.
But other than that, I was I was probably really
embarrassed to be there because like my sister and all
our friends had like surets painted signs, you know, the

(34:13):
whole part like too cool for I have to be here,
so I don't get fine. Probably it's like me and
Marshaw Ice was him right, Yeah, okay, so what about phase?
He phases, Oh, I mean, I guess you could say, like,
I don't know, like I listened to rap, but I
still it's like the season like your life, like you
were always just you, always just the old man Stafford

(34:35):
all the way through. There's no point of like it's
like for me, I went through a I was just
like a skater as can be. Big old skate shoes,
long hair. Why were those pictures? I don't know. That's
why I don't know why I got Are you wearing Jinkos?

more of a ah we did the knockoff brand, so

(34:59):

But yeah you were skater boy, Yeah, big baggy jeans.
I could see that though. That mean where you grew up.
You're saying, like Pacific Northwest. I feel like it's uh
there was a grunge. There was a grunge movement. You're
still holding on to it a little bit, you know,
it's kind of a Nirvana thing. Uh yeah, I don't know.

(35:19):
Uh no, I didn't really have that. See this is
what I'm saying about Matthew. He came out to the
womb old and he's just been old, just an old curmudgeon.
Yeah it's good. Yeah, it's good. Though. You went to
Spice Girls and you tried to venture out. I did,
and then just wasn't wasn't. Came right back to my cocoon,
