It's interesting because I'm listening to you talking.

Past simple

Obviously, both of your parents had a very profound impact on your life.

I don't want to say whether it was yellow.

He was methodically like to playing like to make sure you were prepared.

When you think when you think about your younger time in life in the younger age, would you describe yourself more of your mom's child on your dad's child?

It was It was like life was one big shoeless summer.

Um, you know, it was It was go all the time.

No introspection, don't Even we weren't even allowed to watch TV or take time to read a book.

Um, and so we learned a lot of resilience in that my mom gave us all that resilience.

What I learned later on, I guess around 18 years old is that if you get up and dust yourself off every single time without looking at why you fell down.

Okay, so sometimes we got to get up and go.

I'm not before I dust myself and move on, which is what my mom always taught us.

Wonder why I keep stepping in the damn thing.

So next time I come around the bend, I could not get or jump over, which is the form of creating a yellow light for yourself.

Have a little introspection to look back.

I got a little more introspective when I got about 18.

19, probably that year in Australia that I spent the exchange student gave me that with the Dooley's with the Dooley's that you'll have to read the book to know what I'm talking about.

I remember a whole bunch of people laughing at you later on because they knew what they were like, but they didn't tell you about it.

It's must as must read everybody and you gotta go get the book.

I want to transition to the world of sports in this regard.

Matthew, when you look at today's sports landscape and we have this discussion about things that are inspiring the green lights that exists in all of our lives but yellow and red lights as well as you look at today's sports world, what do you believe?

It provokes or evokes toe folks out here in the world today when you look at the sports world as it is presently constructed?

Well, look, sports is a great lesson for all of us and how to get along.

I mean, you know, I don't you gotta You gotta certain understood rules to the game before two teams to individuals meet you come to the tundra, whatever that is.

The court, the course, the field, the pool, whatever it is, you got it.

Now you get out there and you battle it out.

You have You have grand plans of what will be nothing but a green light.

The opposition is trying to stop you from getting what you're doing.

You're trying to get your eight seconds on the bull at the end of the game after you just actually hated each other on the field.

You come together, you shake a hand and you on.

So it's actually a great example of healthy tribalism.

You have percent of the stadium on one side, 5% on the other.

But you come together, you battle over game and after you go damn good game.

I'm get you next time and you come back for another battle.

That's something that that we, the whole people can learn that we need to learn.

I've learned a lot of my job from preparation, uh, from in sports just to my own job of acting.

I'm an expert because I say I am in today's society tries to tell some of us we can just do that.

If I say yeah, try that behind the three point line or try to try to stop it up there and say so.

You see great people, great athletes that the work they're bought off to get it.

But I think it's a great lesson that people can look at again about how, ah, healthy tribalism, where people can actually come together.

You battle it out on the day that you come together and you shake a hand at the end of the night, you say, See you tomorrow.

Let me go directly to your alma mater, the University of Texas.

They got a new football coach, Steve Sarkeesian.

Last time we show him the last time we saw him, he was the offensive coordinator for Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide, averaging over 47 points per game.

How do you feel about him as your new coach?

Well, look, I feel good and I feel hopeful.

Um, he's obviously did great work is no see in Alabama, Um, he's now stepping into the H C, which is the same, but more on a different job that he had.

You gotta understand and embrace the awesome scrutiny that comes with the stage here as players and his coaches.

The stage University of Texas is like no other, Um, so in that way, because it's like no other.

You actually are an underdog at UT now who can shine on that stage?

Well, let's parley and parcel that into are becoming, um of who who are football program is right now.

I'm gonna give him a call, actually, here, maybe this afternoon to catch up with him because I want right about some things.

But you got You know, you get handed the keys thio to the Ferrari University of Texas.

So when you you know, you gotta remember that when you were driving to get to this position, you were grinding.
