00:00I don't typically take people in that early and just throw them straight in there with a hot
00:05alligator. I'm sure all the discipline that they get from their military training is gonna help a
00:11lot. Okay, all right, just go ahead and give him a little tap. Hide that thumb. All right,
00:15now drive your hand straight up, right over the top. Got him good. Now let go of the rope.
00:20Transition your other hand here. Hold it tight. I'm retired Army. I was a tanker for 20 years.
00:25I'm retired Army as well. I was enlisted as a mechanic, 63 Bravo, and then I was a military
00:30police officer as an officer. Hold it here. Now he's hot. All right, it's a real deal now. I saw
00:38a little bit of, you know, nerves whenever they're looking at the white teeth. It's all fine and good
00:43when he's got that black tape around him, you know. Anybody can do it. It's a bullfrog at that
00:47point. Hold that in your mouth. Just bite it in your teeth. Okay. You go always straight in front.
00:52Give him a tap. Watch your thumb. All right, now drive it up. Go ahead, straight up. I like to go
00:58just like this. Go straight over top of that thumb. Never out to the side. He's not rolling.
01:02Put your other hand on there. Both hands hold tight. Pin his head down. Tell him jump. Grab
01:10it real tight. Pull that head up. Got him. My only real takeaway from that, whenever you jump,
01:15you're not laying on your knees first. It's hands first on that neck, and then you put the rest of
01:19your weight. Yeah, I got you. All right. You can go straight back. It's a little different looking
01:29at the teeth, huh? I like it back here better. I just wanted to go home with my thumbs. I need
01:34him to fish with, so I kept him tucked the whole time. All right, hide your thumb. All right,
01:41don't let him see that thumb go up to the side, because he'll grab it. It hurts. A little tap.
01:44Dig underneath. Split. All right, tell your partner jump. There it is. Slide up, slide up,
01:54slide up. Pin his head up. A little more, a little more, a little more. Grip him tight.
01:58I don't know who's more nervous, me or y'all, because when I'm training somebody,
02:08they don't jump on hot this soon.
