CHAPTER

Are You Both Pisces?

Both took up professional sports after competing in pro football. I play on the USA national team for a sport called Team Handball and the Olympic team. And we're trying to go to the Olympics in two years. So there's a very slim chance that we'll go. We have like the sickest athletes, but we've never played the game. It's kind of me being like, I'm a great football player. I'm going to go try playing the NBA right now. Like I can smoke all them all on football. The rest of the world is more skilled. They just like flow and you guys don't have a chance. You know, there's three percent chance.

Let's go to point number, I just said point number six. Both 31. That's point number seven. Okay, the TV show is six. Yeah. Number seven is we're both 31s are old. Now this gets more interesting. Let's hear it. Number eight. We're both
Speaker 4
Pisces. Oh really? When's your B-Day?
Speaker 2
Well, that's what number nine is. Is it March 18th? It's March 16th. So we split St. Patty's Day. So we both have a birthday next to St. Patty's Day. What? Did we just become best friends? That's what I was
Speaker 4
like. Why do I not hear this guy already? Okay.
Speaker 2
So both born in March, both Pisces because you're not always a Pisces when you're in March, which makes sense why we're both alpha lovers. True. Both split St. Patty's Day, number 10, number 11.
Speaker 4
Both took
Speaker 2
up professional sports after competing in pro football. Yeah. So I play on the USA national team for a sport called Team Handball and the Olympic team. And we're trying to go to the Olympics in two years. So there's a very slim chance that we'll go. Why is it a slim chance? We have like the sickest athletes, but we've never played the game. So it's kind of like that's tough. It's kind of me being like, I'm a great football player. I'm going to go try playing the NBA right now. I'm with you. Like I can smoke all them all on football. We play football. Yeah, but the rest of the world is more skilled.
Speaker 1
They've been playing
Speaker 2
since our
Speaker 4
seven. So they just like flow
Speaker 1
and you guys don't have
Speaker 2
a chance. You know, there's three percent chance. Three percent. There's always a chance. So you're telling me there's a chance. There's always a chance. Like, you know, teams could get sick. Teams could just have their worst game. We could have our best games. We've got to beat three or four countries that are really good in South America. So the Pan American Games is how you qualify for the Olympics in team handball. And so it's all the countries in North and South America. South America has got pro leagues down there. We don't have a pro league in the US. So a lot of our guys go to Europe to play professionally. And then they come together for the USA national team and practice for like a couple weeks a year. So these other guys are just training
Speaker 1
the other countries. Are they making decent money being pro? In Europe, you can make some good money. Really?
