00:07 I mean, I'm still a guy like me and Simone got together when I was on practice
00:11 squad, so it's not like, people always say, but it's always been an uphill battle for
00:15 me my whole life, you know what I mean, versus getting cut or so, I mean,
00:19 I love it, man, I don't care at all, man, that's my wife.
00:22 Like if anything, it's like a respect thing people give that they always mention
00:26 my wife first, that's because you always want your wife on this pedestal.
00:29 So I love her, I support her, man, and there's no jealousy or
00:35 like because when we're at home, whatever's going on on social media,
00:40 that's not really the kind of the insight of what's going on inside, man.
00:44 And we both support each other to the fullest and when I'm in season or
00:48 when she's in season, so yeah, it's pretty funny though.
00:52 We look at it and laugh at a bunch of the stuff.
00:54 [MUSIC]
00:57 >> Amazing, especially when the fan support is there, it gives you more
01:01 of a encouragement to go out there, throw your body on the line for them.
01:05 So me and my wife, man, we both super excited.
01:08 I mean, obviously, you've seen she's excited about the pizza,
01:10 that's her favorite food.
01:11 So she can't wait to get here and be able to experience that and
01:16 experience the city of Chicago, the culture, just be a part of this amazing
01:20 organization, so.
01:21 [MUSIC]
01:25 >> When we get home, we barely talk about the sport just because we're doing it so
01:29 much separate, we more so just wanna come and debrief,
01:34 kinda let me learn some T from the day, what happened at the gym today, baby?
01:37 You know what I mean?
01:39 So yes, it's really nothing super, super crazy.
01:42 We get competitive in some little things, but we try to just be as chill and
01:46 as normal as possible, go on date nights and do everything everyone else would do.
01:51 Just because, especially for her, it gets kinda difficult walking through the
01:57 airport and I will be in Green Bay and she's in the airport by herself.
02:01 And you have people just will be at the gate just waiting on her to sign a bunch
02:05 of stuff and she's four eight.
02:07 So it's intimidating if 20 people, grown men come up to you with stuff to sign.
02:12 So that's kinda like some of the things I guess she has to deal with
02:17 that most people wouldn't understand.
02:18 But I mean, yeah, man, it's easier, it's so easy.
02:22 You're gonna boom and come here.
02:23 So we're both pretty excited about that.
02:26 But regardless of the flights, we wanted to be somewhere where we felt like we were
02:29 wanted and I just really felt like Chicago really valued what I could do on the field,
02:35 my versatility, and I'm just excited to come here and be a part of this.
02:39 Chicago, they were very persistent with my agent.
02:43 They sent the offer and they made sure that it was something that they felt was
02:48 fair for me and me and my agent.
02:51 We made the decision, man, and this is the place that we wanna be.
02:55 So plus, Chicago is a pretty dope city, so
03:01 it just adds to it and the reason you wanna go there, so.
