Speaker 1 (00:01):
Let's end our first episode of the off save it
druled on my ship. Nope, stop, he's a doll. I
love my sink. Pick your musty at the shop. If
I say everything wrong, I'm heading me. And it was
the best day of my life. Welcome back to the
Schlin Show podcast presented by Vicestar, where we're not afraid
(00:25):
to mess up, We're not afraid to have a little fun.
Come on, and where you'll have your stories about your
favorite Jaguars from the people who know the best. This week,
very excited for you all to hear from Myisha Hinz Allen,
who is a forward for the Washington mystics in the
w m b A. But it's also the older, much
(00:47):
more athletic, much more sophisticated sibling to defensive end Josh
Allen And yes, I know what you are thinking. They
are a much more talented family than yours. Check her out,
you guys just wrapped up playing in the playoffs. And
that which is very interesting called the Wobble. I see
what the w n b A did there with that nickname,
(01:09):
and I'm liking it. And Brandon to Florida, Smisha one,
thanks so much for joining us through just a few
days removed from being in the playoffs. So I guess
you could say you could use a nap right now.
I could. I actually woke up pretty early thinking I
still was playing basketball today. But um, I could definitely
use a nap Lott vacation maybe, yes, for sure, So
(01:31):
take me through that process. You and Josh are kind
of similar right now, both trying to do your job
and be a professional athlete and this crazy life of
COVID that we're living. Yeah, like you mentioned, it's a
crazy time right now. But I'm just thankful that I
was able to get the opportunity to continue to play
basketball when a lot of people are out of job
right now. Um, So I'm just thankful that, you know,
(01:53):
got the opportunity to play. And then also, uh see
my brother starting his season up is a great too,
So happy. And you guys were pretty close Brandon ten
to Jackson. So were you able to see each other
or what was that bubble life like? Yeah? Um, now,
we weren't able to see each other for the bubble
(02:14):
or bubble as people call it. Um, we were kind
of secluded from the outside world, so we weren't allowed
to leave campus unless we were going to the UM
the game, or we had UM team outings a couple
of times, but it all had to be approved, so
we weren't really allowed to leave uh campus, the IMG campus,
So I didn't get to see my brother. Uh. But
(02:37):
hopefully I'll have a chance to go down back, go
down back to Florida and a see him play. And
now that you have a little break from basketball, what
is life like for you? Like, is there ever a break? Not? Really,
to be honest with you, UM, when you play professional basketball,
unlike other sports, UM, we have you know season here
(02:59):
and then we still play overseas, so it's kind of
like back to back seasons. But for this this year,
for me, I'm gonna take the first half off, so
I'll be playing. I'll go back overseas in December, um
the end of December, UM to start up again. Uh
So right now, this is the first break, um that
(03:20):
that I'll have in a while. So I'm just gonna
enjoy it, UM to take time off, rest my body,
um and just work on on some things I just
need to work on. Let's talk about old Josh. He's
one of our favorites here with the Jaguars. He definitely
already in his short time, has made a great impact.
(03:40):
For example, today we were on a press conference with him,
and it's so funny. After every press conference, he thinks
every single member of the media on the zoom call
and it it'll all be in aligns, like all right, Gary,
John Mark, Ashland, Bill, Like he goes down the list
of names and says thank you. And I think that's
what's so unique about Josh. It's he knows everyone's name.
(04:02):
He wants to know how everyone's day is going, the
mail man, the cafeteria workers. And I've never seen a
football player like that. So has he always been like that,
just a normal guy who plays football. Yeah, definitely. And
I think that's nothing that makes him so specialist. He's
just so down to earth. Um, great person. You want
(04:22):
to get to know him, and he actually wants to
take time out to get to know you too. So Um,
he's definitely a people person, always been a people person. Talkative,
Oh my god. Growing up, he just you cannot get
him to stop talking. Um, It's always been how he
he has been. So I'm glad that he's still doing
it and still being himself and never going to change
(04:43):
because it's what makes him special. So ye, like he'll
sit down and be like, ash, like, how's your day going?
What'd you do today? And it's so intrigued by like
what I'm doing. I'm like, Josh, like do you even care? Yeah?
I love that about him and you guys are and
incredibly I feel family to say the least. So where
are you guys credit this competitive nature from? I mean, like,
(05:05):
how where is it that you have a brother and
a sister who are both professional athletes in a family. Yeah,
It's it's not often. Um, I think we just credit
to our our our you know parents for one, UM
and then their brothers and sisters all played sports to UM,
so it's kind of in our bloodline, you know, to
to play sports and be athletic. Are two older sisters
(05:29):
played basketball too, but we were the ones that you know,
continue to play after college. Uh So, I mean it's
pretty cool that you have two professional athletes in the family,
and UM, we definitely take pride in it. We definitely
take pride in it. And you know, what more can
you ask for? You know, especially when you when you
look back and you see all the sacrifices your parents made, Um,
(05:50):
your family members made to get you where you are.
So you know, I'm speaking for him too right now,
but I think that, um, we try to do our
best to make our family proud and and where our
name you know, heinz Alan from me, but Alan for Josh,
you know, proud and and make sure people know where
we come from and what we stand for. I love
(06:14):
that you guys definitely seem extremely proud Josh too whenever
he talks about you. There's also that competitive nature that
definitely comes out whenever your name is mentioned. He's always
going back and before, like, oh, she's the world champion,
but I was drafted higher and like all right, Josh,
Like it sounds like you're twelve, but they're like you're
(06:36):
the two of youse competitive nature. You gotta say he's
a little more like he's a little more competitive than
I am with that type of stuff. UM, to be
honest with you, but you know, I think it also
just shows when he steps on steps foot on that
field how competitive he is to you know, off the
off the field, when he's when he just acts like
that towards us, you know, it's only right that he
(06:58):
plays with so much aggression on on the field too,
So I mean, he's definitely more competitive in that since
than than I am. I can you know, I could
care less kind of, but um he's always that one up.
I've seen the interview that he did and he's like, yeah,
I have the one upper at the one upper. I'm like,
I don't know if you can beat the world champions,
(07:21):
to be honest with you, Well, unless he makes one
super Bowl, but that's gonna be that's gonna be a
tough one. That's gonna be a tough and even if
he wins the super Bowl, you guys are just tied,
like he's up. Yeah, so we'll see. We'll see. Have
you ever, like, besides the world champion thing, which obviously
that's a win in your calm, have you ever beaten
(07:43):
him at something like even something dumb like a thumb
wre like you can say you have bragging races? Yeah, okay,
So I remember I think we're probably in high school
when we went down to Glenfield, this is a little
park down the street from where we live, and it
was me and my sister, older sister, and we played
(08:03):
him and um My his his twin brother Isaiah, and
we beat them and pick up, you know, two on two,
but he still he sells a different story. But we
all know who won. And that's so that's my one
up story on Josh, you know. But I want to
take that one because he really thinks he beat us,
but I just I don't know. He didn't. So it's weird.
(08:26):
He really made up a story that he won all
the way back in high school. Yeah. Man, we're gonna
have to talk to him about that. That's not cool.
What happened. It happened, but he didn't. That's the crazy part.
I'm glad it's on record now so everyone can hear
that you actually did win. I read that you played
Pop Warner football with him eight or nine years old. Yeah,
(08:52):
and I'm so. I'm not a big fan of football,
so it's a little weird, but not a big fan
of football because of that reason. Um, I got hit
like hard, and I was just like, all right, I'm
done with football then like everything. Then, like I don't
even like watching it unless it's my brother. Like that
is the only reason why I would watch a football
game or even go to a fooball game. It's just
(09:14):
because of my brother. And then I remember in uh college,
because you went to Kentucky and I'm from Louisville, and
there's that rivalry right there is crazy. So um, like
people would always say, oh, well, um, who are you
rooting for? I'm like, I don't like football, Like I'm
not remember anyone but fort one on on Kentucky's team.
(09:37):
So now, I mean you say you're not a fan
of football, But do you catch yourself like checking scores
watching the game. I don't blame it, like when you
have to remove yourself from sports, like I didn't know
when I watch hd TV because I'm like, get me
away from this. So I don't blame you. But how
much are you able to keep up with what he's doing?
Actually keep up with He's a lot. So again I
only focus on Joshua when anything involves around football. It's
(10:02):
only Joshua. So that that is it. Like I really
do not like football. It's a bad time in my
life growing up, Um getting hit the heart but hard.
I hate to bring it up, yeah, but I just
try to keep up with um whatever he's doing, um,
(10:22):
you know, on and off the field. So it's just
Joshua that that is the only football player that I
will ever watch. It's safe to say, that's fair. You
call him Joshua. I never heard someone call him Joshua.
Is that what your family calls him? Oh? Yeah, I don't.
I don't think I really ever called him josh before,
like even growing up Joshua, like like I feel like
(10:45):
when he when he went I would probably say, like
to college, that's when like the josh started, So people
would always say Joshua or you know, his his nicknames
or whatever. The kids maybe, but you don't. I didn't
really hear josh a lot. It's strange to hear I
never heard anyone call him that. That's interesting. You mentioned
in college obviously very well known player in the SEC,
(11:07):
and then being drafted so high in the first round.
Was it crazy to watch that progression, Like and your
people start talking about him, you knowing it's Joshua, your
brother that they're talking about. Yeah, So it was crazy
because first him even going to Kentucky was a huge
thing because he wasn't, you know, highly recruited. So for
(11:28):
him to go to Kentucky and play in that conference,
which is a power, powerhouse conference for football, and to
excel like his first year, I think he was second
string his first year and then you know, after that
just took off, and you know, for him to do
what he's doing now, it's just amazing because again, growing up,
I just I just remember him as a little kid,
(11:50):
the goofy kid, and now he's like this massive grown
man like muscles, so it's just like you know, and
a beard too, So it's just like, what, like it's
crazy to even to even think about how how far
he's how far he's come. So I'm just happy for
him to be honest with you, m And you mentioned
the beard and the muscles, and how about him being
(12:12):
a dad, Like I see Josh in the stadium and
I see him when he brings Wesley to the facility,
I'm like, oh my gosh, that's crazy that, like you
are such a goofy person and also a dad as well,
Oh my gosh. And he takes so much pride in
being a great father. Uh. And I think that's all
you can ask for is for him to you know,
try his best, and to to do anything and everything
(12:36):
for him for his two sons, um and be a
great and be a great husband too. Uh So, you know,
just again just so proud of everything that he's been
able to do like on and off the field. You are.
We talk about on the field Joshua all the time,
but the things that he's done off the field incredible.
And just to see him grow into this man, you know,
(12:58):
a husband, father to your sons, and you know, and
do it with such dignity in respect. It's just like
you don't see it often. You don't see it often,
and you know, for him to do a great job
and and be that that role model he is is
it's great. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm sure he's told you
about Calais Campbell And when I first got to the team,
(13:19):
they're like, all right, like you're never going to cover
someone like Calais Campbell in your life, And like I
had that in my head and the warm around josh
I'm like, dang, Like he's just like them, someone he
looks up to too, you know, just hearing stories and
how he took him, he took josh under his wing.
You know, it's it's good when you have veterans who've
been in the league for a long time and want
(13:41):
the best for you and once to see you succeed
um and and that are in your corner too, makes
your job a lot easier, your transition a lot easier
into that professional world. Um, so I'm glad he was
there and to help Josh his first year. And you
mentioned that transition, you being there, doing that, going college
to protity. Ever reached out about, you know, doing that
(14:02):
being a professional athlete, that transition. Yeah, so we talked
once about it for for a very long time of
how it was, you know, tough. You just gotta keep
grinding it out, keep grinding out. Things aren't gonna be
perfect your first year, your second year, maybe even your third.
But if you continue to grind it out and you
you see progress within yourself and then it starts to
trickle down throughout the system and the football team. Say, um, yeah,
(14:26):
we we've talked about it before. You know, I'm glad
we've we've gotten a chance to step away from really
when we talk, step away from sports, dive into other
things other than sports. But when I was able to
talk to him about, you know, the transition life, you know,
just hearing the stories and hearing what he had to say,
I commend him for getting through it and you know,
continue to work, continue to work at it because because
(14:49):
it isn't it isn't easy just to just to see
him continue to continue to keep pushing, see him as
a captain already to his second year. I mean, kudos
goes to him. It's cool that we always asked him
about this newfound leadership this season because he got voted
a captain, and he always says that you can be
(15:10):
the loudest guy in the locker room, you can, you know,
be a great example off the field. He's like, if
I don't make plays on the field, no one's going
to listen to me, which I think is a very
realistic way to look at it. A lot of people
want to, you know, talk loud in the locker room
and oh, listen to me. And he's like, I get it.
If I'm not good on the field, no one's gonna
listen to me. Yeah, And I totally agree with that too.
(15:31):
When you work on yourself and you're putting your best
foot forward and you're trying your hardest and you're making
things happen. I think, especially also in a league such
as NFFL, if you aren't really doing much and you
don't you're not a veteran yet and you know you're
not making plays, but you're not doing what the coaches
are saying and this and that. It is kind of
hard to be a leader and and have people look
(15:52):
up to you and follow you speaking for like to
see how he is now and being a captain, I'm sure.
I guess he is making a lot of plays. People
are listening to him and voted him to be a captain,
So that's pretty cool. He wants to make the super
Bowl and and this, like you know, big big accolades
and things like that. But I think it's every year,
just get better. Continue to get your team better too.
(16:14):
I know, again not a football expert, just read the
I read things. Um, the team, you know, losing some pieces.
You gotta work with that. So just continue to get
better and continue to grow as a team and you know,
fight for to be a reason why people are proud
to say, you know, Dovall and and have more people
(16:36):
um shout shout that out too. I think you continue
to keep it up, um do what he's doing now
and and have more people on board, you know, and
great things to lappen here you go, you're up to date.
You're doubting yourself. You're's biggest fan. Gosh was fan? All right?
(16:58):
Mike said thanks so much for joining us. I know
you're so busy and probably want to take a much
need of nap, So thank you for joining The Schlen
Show and telling us all about our guy, Josh Allen.
Thank you, thank you for having me. Thanks so much

is the only reason why I would watch a football
game or even go to a fooball game. It's just
(09:14):
because of my brother. And then I remember in uh college,
because you went to Kentucky and I'm from Louisville, and
there's that rivalry right there is crazy. So um, like
people would always say, oh, well, um, who are you
rooting for? I'm like, I don't like football, Like I'm
not remember anyone but fort one on on Kentucky's team.
(09:37):
So now, I mean you say you're not a fan
of football, But do you catch yourself like checking scores
watching the game. I don't blame it, like when you
have to remove yourself from sports, like I didn't know
when I watch hd TV because I'm like, get me
away from this. So I don't blame you. But how
much are you able to keep up with what he's doing?
Actually keep up with He's a lot. So again I
only focus on Joshua when anything involves around football. It's
(10:02):
only Joshua. So that that is it. Like I really
do not like football. It's a bad time in my
life growing up, Um getting hit the heart but hard.
I hate to bring it up, yeah, but I just
try to keep up with um whatever he's doing, um,
(10:22):
you know, on and off the field. So it's just
Joshua that that is the only football player that I
will ever watch. It's safe to say, that's fair. You
call him Joshua. I never heard someone call him Joshua.
Is that what your family calls him? Oh? Yeah, I don't.
I don't think I really ever called him josh before,
like even growing up Joshua, like like I feel like
(10:45):
when he when he went I would probably say, like
to college, that's when like the josh started, So people
would always say Joshua or you know, his his nicknames
or whatever. The kids maybe, but you don't. I didn't
really hear josh a lot. It's strange to hear I
never heard anyone call him that. That's interesting. You mentioned
in college obviously very well known player in the SEC,
(11:07):
and then being drafted so high in the first round.
Was it crazy to watch that progression, Like and your
people start talking about him, you knowing it's Joshua, your
brother that they're talking about. Yeah, So it was crazy
because first him even going to Kentucky was a huge
thing because he wasn't, you know, highly recruited. So for
(11:28):
him to go to Kentucky and play in that conference,
which is a power, powerhouse conference for football, and to
excel like his first year, I think he was second
string his first year and then you know, after that
just took off, and you know, for him to do
what he's doing now, it's just amazing because again, growing up,
I just I just remember him as a little kid,
(11:50):
the goofy kid, and now he's like this massive grown
man like muscles, so it's just like you know, and
a beard too, So it's just like, what, like it's
crazy to even to even think about how how far
he's how far he's come. So I'm just happy for
him to be honest with you, m And you mentioned
the beard and the muscles, and how about him being
(12:12):
a dad, Like I see Josh in the stadium and
I see him when he brings Wesley to the facility,
I'm like, oh my gosh, that's crazy that, like you
are such a goofy person and also a dad as well,
Oh my gosh. And he takes so much pride in
being a great father. Uh. And I think that's all
you can ask for is for him to you know,
try his best, and to to do anything and everything
(12:36):
for him for his two sons, um and be a
great and be a great husband too. Uh So, you know,
just again just so proud of everything that he's been
able to do like on and off the field. You are.
We talk about on the field Joshua all the time,
but the things that he's done off the field incredible.
And just to see him grow into this man, you know,
(12:58):
a husband, father to your sons, and you know, and
do it with such dignity in respect. It's just like
you don't see it often. You don't see it often,
and you know, for him to do a great job
and and be that that role model he is is
it's great. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm sure he's told you
about Calais Campbell And when I first got to the team,
(13:19):
they're like, all right, like you're never going to cover
someone like Calais Campbell in your life, And like I
had that in my head and the warm around josh
I'm like, dang, Like he's just like them, someone he
looks up to too, you know, just hearing stories and
how he took him, he took josh under his wing.
You know, it's it's good when you have veterans who've
been in the league for a long time and want
(13:41):
the best for you and once to see you succeed
um and and that are in your corner too, makes
your job a lot easier, your transition a lot easier
into that professional world. Um, so I'm glad he was
there and to help Josh his first year. And you
mentioned that transition, you being there, doing that, going college
to protity. Ever reached out about, you know, doing that
(14:02):
being a professional athlete, that transition. Yeah, so we talked
once about it for for a very long time of
how it was, you know, tough. You just gotta keep
grinding it out, keep grinding out. Things aren't gonna be
perfect your first year, your second year, maybe even your third.
But if you continue to grind it out and you
you see progress within yourself and then it starts to
trickle down throughout the system and the football team. Say, um, yeah,
(14:26):
we we've talked about it before. You know, I'm glad
we've we've gotten a chance to step away from really
when we talk, step away from sports, dive into other
things other than sports. But when I was able to
talk to him about, you know, the transition life, you know,
just hearing the stories and hearing what he had to say,
I commend him for getting through it and you know,
continue to work, continue to work at it because because
(14:49):
it isn't it isn't easy just to just to see
him continue to continue to keep pushing, see him as
a captain already to his second year. I mean, kudos
goes to him. It's cool that we always asked him
about this newfound leadership this season because he got voted
a captain, and he always says that you can be
(15:10):
the loudest guy in the locker room, you can, you know,
be a great example off the field. He's like, if
I don't make plays on the field, no one's going
to listen to me, which I think is a very
realistic way to look at it. A lot of people
want to, you know, talk loud in the locker room
and oh, listen to me. And he's like, I get it.
If I'm not good on the field, no one's gonna
listen to me. Yeah, And I totally agree with that too.
(15:31):
When you work on yourself and you're putting your best
foot forward and you're trying your hardest and you're making
things happen. I think, especially also in a league such
as NFFL, if you aren't really doing much and you
don't you're not a veteran yet and you know you're
not making plays, but you're not doing what the coaches
are saying and this and that. It is kind of
hard to be a leader and and have people look
(15:52):
up to you and follow you speaking for like to
see how he is now and being a captain, I'm sure.
I guess he is making a lot of plays. People
are listening to him and voted him to be a captain,
So that's pretty cool. He wants to make the super
Bowl and and this, like you know, big big accolades
and things like that. But I think it's every year,
just get better. Continue to get your team better too.
(16:14):
I know, again not a football expert, just read the
I read things. Um, the team, you know, losing some pieces.
You gotta work with that. So just continue to get
better and continue to grow as a team and you know,
fight for to be a reason why people are proud
to say, you know, Dovall and and have more people
(16:36):
um shout shout that out too. I think you continue
to keep it up, um do what he's doing now
and and have more people on board, you know, and
great things to lappen here you go, you're up to date.
You're doubting yourself. You're's biggest fan. Gosh was fan? All right?
