if you like to golf or whatever you, your hobby is, whatever it is, you try to like find something that fits the both of us.

And then IO, we play cards on the plane.

That was like one of the first interactions I had with him was beyond playing, playing cards.

And so our handshake literally is like, you know, you go to slap hands and you, you go one pass by his backside of your hand and you do two times on the front side of your hands.

And then, and then we act like we're dealing, dealing cards.

so we'll do like we'll deal like three cards or like deal five cards whatever it is that we need for that day so it's kind of like a fluid handshake but each day it could be you know we'll ask them i'll ask them as soon as i'm getting like in the middle of handshake i'll be you know dapping them up and then after we do like two or three passes with our hands we'll we'll start dealing out cards like how many you need and be like one or two or three or five whatever it is

And we'll just kind of go from there.

But everybody's got their own special deal and something along the lines of something that's familiar with each other.

it's one of those moments, you know, when it normally happens is like, it normally happens like either during a practice day or like a, uh, right before the game when, you know, I am giving handshakes out to everybody and you're going down the line and you get down the bench, you start tapping up everybody and then you get the IO and I look at him, I'm like, man, we ain't got a handshake yet.

And so this, you know, and that's why I was like, all right, here, I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

And then we'll just like, boom, boom, boom, boom.

And then,

And he'll, he'll, he'll think it's, you know, it's all right.

I'll think it's all right.

And kind of go, go from there.

So it kind of happens spur of the moment, but there's a little bit of thought that goes into it though.

Man, I can say like from experience with like guys who like this certain guy, like you might injure a hand, right?
