We ended up winning the 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 7: championship that year. That was fantastic. Unfortunately, that first league 81 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 7: folded as did the second, so my first year in 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 7: that league, winning the national championship happened to be my 83 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 7: last in that league.

I retired. Yeah it's your fault. I retired. 109 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: And then you guys needed someone for an Open Cup 110 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: game last minute, and so I said, you know what, Fine, 111 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: I want to get back into the game. I'll do it. 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 2: It was six months after retirement. My bitterness had finally 113 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: gone away, and I started it and I remember afterwards, 114 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: I said, Wow, this was really fun for me.

And when you started this rain 121 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: broadcast for Fox thirteen, it was no brainer, right. I 122 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: wanted to be involved. And it started out as putting 123 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: me on the sideline, getting me out of the booth, 124 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: like let Kellen be a lone wolf over here. And 125 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: then you decided to bring me into the group. And uh, 126 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: we got that that that three person, three person booth, 127 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: and man, we crushed it. I had so much fun, 128 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: uh literally crushing Keeley's face a few times with the 129 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: ball one time. It's it's been a great time. 130 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 5: So I keep learning. 131 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: Obviously, Laura and and and and Steve have so much 132 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: more experience than I do. But it's fun to learn 133 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: from them and and Riff and and watch the game 134 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: and continue to see the growth of the women's game, 135 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: and then I dabble with some Sounder stuff too, but 136 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that. Uh yeah. Sounders Radio 137 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: is the other piece that I will I will dabble 138 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: in because one, I want to keep my connections there 139 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: and and watch the guys play and continue to see 140 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: the alumni h Danny Jackson, Jackson Felt, who's on this, 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 2: you know, Brad Evans, Steve Zakawani, Lamar Nagel, even even 142 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: coach Pete Feeling. So it's always fun to just to 143 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: chop it up with them. On the playing side. I 144 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: didn't like BEP goal scorer or anything for UCLA or whatnot, 145 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: but from Federal Way, went to UCLA, played a bit there, 146 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: went pro, was in New England for eight years. I 147 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: did a gap year of sporting Kansas City and Salt 148 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: Lake City all in the same year, and then was 149 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: able to come back to Seattle and play my last 150 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: three seasons, winning the Champions League Cup. Well, I guess 151 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: they call it the Champions Cup now. I don't know 152 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: if they changed after we won it, after we wanted 153 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: They're like, you know what that was, guys. You guys 154 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: kind of crossed us. Here is a little too easy 155 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: let's change the name and maybe you guys won't win 156 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: it again. But that was a great time. I ended up, yeah, 157 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: having twelve years in the career, and then I had 158 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: I always say, I had a cup of coffee with 159 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: the national team, ended up playing four games for them 160 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: as well. 161 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: Hey, four games, that's not nothing. First of all, it's great. 162 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: Curious where have you been most surprised about moving from 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: playing to broadcasting. Has it been what you've expected? What's 164 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 4: been your biggest sort of surprise? 165 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: The different views, right, so when you even when you 166 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: watch the game as a player on the sideline or 167 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: watch it back, you know you have a different view 168 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: and take on things, and you get the insides and 169 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: outs of talking with the coaching staff, talking with the players, 170 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: talking with the opposing teams. You get just more of 171 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: a broader picture. It almost feels like I take five 172 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: ten steps back and see a full picture rather than 173 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: the player aspect, which is just competitiveness, right, you just go, go, go. 174 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: So I had to take a step back almost like 175 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: I take a deep breath as well and get to 176 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: see a little bit more of it. So I think 177 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: it's really fun. I still have the player perspective, but 178 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: I get to see it from a broader angle. 179 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: All right, let's continue on this roundtable. Jackson wecky ly. 180 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been a long time at KJR for me. 181 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 5: It started there in twenty twelve. First Sounder show. There 182 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 5: was a show called Radio Cascadia Live back in twenty seventeen, 183 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 5: did that for a year, weekly interviews. Garth Loggerway the 184 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 5: general manager and president of Soccer for so many years. 185 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: We got the Sounders broadcast rights on KGr back in 186 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 5: twenty eighteen. So I'm not good at math. That's one 187 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 5: thing people will learn about my broadcasting skills this year 188 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 5: on the fly. But since twenty eighteen, been doing a pregame, 189 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 5: halftime postgame, occasionally jumping in for Danny Jackson on play 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 5: by play as needed for that and Sounders weekly shows 191 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 5: you know, as we just heard an hour before on KGAR. 192 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 5: Since twenty eighteen, it's been it's been a heck of 193 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 5: a ride. And now to be able to expand this 194 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: and have rain games on radio for the first time 195 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 5: ever consistently. And we started last season with a few games, 196 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 5: but to have consistent rain games on radio here in 197 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 5: this city, which as we all know, is just an 198 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 5: absolute hot bet of soccer, one of the you know 199 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 5: leaders globally for soccer in terms of the community participation 200 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 5: and enthusiasm for the game.

The elephant in the room 275 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 4: is out of there. But let's talk about your soccer 276 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 4: background first and a little bit about you know, your 277 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 4: aspirations in broadcasting and you know, potentially owning a women's 278 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: soccer team at some point for sure. 279 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 6: So to start off, I mean my first uh, my 280 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 6: first broadcast once again, uh, the Queen of broadcast brought 281 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 6: me into a Rain versus San Diego wave game and 282 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 6: so we got to do that up in the tower 283 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 6: and that was It was a about as exciting as 284 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 6: a zero zero game gets. Honestly, it was pretty back 285 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 6: and forth. 286 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: It was good. 287 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 6: It was exciting. But obviously, you know, I think we 288 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 6: we I think I think that the chemistry was good. 289 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 6: I think that we had a good time doing it, 290 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 6: so I was really really grateful that I heard from 291 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 6: you again that there was an opportunity to maybe do 292 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 6: this at a big bit of a longer opportunity. So 293 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 6: to tell you a bit about my soccer background, I 294 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 6: actually it's a bit more unconventional. I came to the 295 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 6: States when I was eight years old, so when I 296 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 6: first got here, I was like, I want to be 297 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: an American kid. So I started playing football and basketball, 298 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 6: so those became my stable sports for a really long time. 299 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 6: But there was always soccer in my family. So when 300 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 6: I got to eleventh grade, my best friend at the 301 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 6: time just dared me to not play football, but come 302 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 6: try out for the soccer team. So I tried out 303 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 6: for the soccer team. Was really lucky because I feel 304 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 6: like my athleticism made up for my lack of ability, 305 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 6: and I made the team, and from there I just 306 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 6: fell in love with the sport. I scored only two 307 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 6: goals that year, but over that summer I practiced an 308 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 6: overwhelming amount, and my first game in my senior year, 309 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 6: I scored five goals, and that just changed the trajectory 310 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 6: of everything. I started getting recruitment letters, started getting outreached, 311 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 6: So yeah, I fell in love with the sport and 312 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 6: since then was fortunate to go play at a small 313 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 6: D two school in Delaware. Once I finished up school, 314 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 6: I kept playing a little bit, went over to Europe, 315 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 6: played in Iceland, Sweden, Latvia. So yeah, I got Like 316 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: I said, the journey started out lucky, but I do 317 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 6: think there was a lot of effort in love that 318 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 6: helped me get to where I was. 319 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I think in life you make your own 320 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: luck too. There's definitely an aspect to that, right, you 321 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: make your own luck, and you manifest things and you know, 322 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: crazy things like now joining our radio team and our 323 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 4: broadcasting team. Is it ever weird as warm as players? 324 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: So when you guys were playing, were you listening to, 325 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 4: you know, calls of your games or listening to all 326 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: of the I don't want to call it trash talk, 327 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: the opinions and the you know banter. Do you guys 328 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 4: actually listen? 329 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: There's so many times where I'm watching the game back 330 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: over and like filming, you know, watching my film, but 331 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 2: watching the game listening, and I'm just like, shut up, 332 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: don't say that. Yeah, no, of course you do, right, 333 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 2: And so you don't want to be the over controversial person, 334 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: but you want to have excitement. You want to be 335 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: neutral in many senses, but you have to have and 336 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 2: I think Laura has this too, is like a player 337 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: first mentality of I'm going to support the player and 338 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: and find a way to make the positive even though 339 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: that was a really big negative. 340 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 4: Jackson, you've been in this business for probably the longest 341 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 4: as a broadcaster. What lessons have you learned as you've 342 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 4: kind of gone through this journey so far? 343 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, yeah, so much. I think a lot 344 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 5: of it does relate to, you know, things that I'm 345 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 5: definitely keen on this season here as we start rat 346 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 5: on radio, and that's essentially just always you know, thinking 347 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 5: about the you know, average person driving down I five 348 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 5: and the type of things that they're going to want 349 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 5: to be, you know, staying tuned to and listening to 350 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 5: and you know, in a whether it's a zero zero 351 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 5: game in the seventy fourth minute, you know, of just 352 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 5: a random game in the middle of August, or whether 353 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 5: it's a three to two exciting, you know, back and 354 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 5: forth game in late September. As we approach the playoffs, 355 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 5: I think that using the context of just whatever we 356 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: can do to to make it exciting for the listener, 357 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 5: to make it to make it enjoyable experience. Whether it's stories, 358 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 5: whether it's talking about you know, you know, Kalami's stories 359 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 5: about playing all these different places and and all these 360 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 5: things and where he's been and and bring those experience out, 361 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: whether it's talking to Stephanie about her experience playing obviously 362 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 5: because she spent lots of time Seattle, Boston, and just 363 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 5: kind of going and making the broadcast enjoyable even if 364 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 5: the game is funny enough. This is I'm going to 365 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: reference it again, Dave Niaus and Rickriz You know. 366 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 367 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 5: One of the things that that a story that we 368 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 5: have heard a thousand times in the radio industry is 369 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 5: when is when Dave, who had been calling Mariner games 370 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 5: for a while, welcome to Rick into the booth. Dave 371 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 5: said to Rick, the game may not be enjoyable or 372 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 5: something I'm paraphrasing a little bit. The game may not 373 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 5: be enjoyable, but that doesn't mean the broadcast doesn't it 374 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 5: isn't going to be. We can always make the broadcast 375 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 5: a fun broadcast no matter how the game's going. And 376 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 5: you know, you're the the this you only your average 377 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 5: person may not be a big soccer fan in Seattle, 378 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 5: but if we can make an enjoyable broadcast bring them 379 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 5: into the game, then that will I think, turn your 380 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 5: maybe you know, casual average soccer fan sports fan here 381 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 5: in Seattle into a more of a die hard soccer fan. 382 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 5: And we can we can do that, I think, and 383 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 5: grow the game in this city. There is there is 384 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 5: a weight on our shoulders to to make the game bigger, 385 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 5: and I think that's that's a cool thing that that 386 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 5: we're going to have the opportunity to do on kJ 387 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 5: RO this year. 388 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 4: Speaking of bringing people in, welcome Steve Schlanger to our 389 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 4: round table podcasting. 390 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 9: Hello Steve, My apologies for the delay, but you know, 391 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 9: better late than never, No apology not always the case 392 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 9: now sometimes better never than light. 393 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 4: Perfect timing, Steve, You probably not probably, you definitely have 394 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 4: the most experience.

I think she used the word veteran actually, right, 401 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: I don't know it was pro, but she used veteran. 402 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 8: Right, yeah, miles under the belt top of that, I 403 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 8: think something like that. Uh, now I just forgot the question. 404 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: Uh, just your background a little bit about your background 405 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 4: as a veteran pro broadcaster. 406 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 8: Right, you know, somebody who's been uh, let's say, in 407 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 8: the game. 408 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: For a long time. 409 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 8: You know, I've sort of, you know, it covered a 410 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 8: lot of different sports. Basically soccer, you know, has always 411 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 8: been at the center of that, you know, as a player, 412 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 8: you know, as a broadcaster, covering a lot of different 413 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 8: teams and leagues, but then branching out beyond that, basketball, football, 414 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 8: Olympics sports. I just did my eighth Olympics in Milan, 415 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 8: Courtina with NBC, and so you get to see a 416 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 8: lot of different athletes, a lot of different sports. The 417 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 8: way things are covered, the way things are presented. So, 418 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 8: you know, the the interesting thing for me is is 419 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 8: that there's connective tissue between all of them and that 420 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 8: there are parallels to Whey the way certain sports are 421 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 8: you know, covered, and the way that you know you 422 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 8: can present them, you know, for an audience to consume 423 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 8: and especially nowadays, the way things are cut up into 424 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 8: you know, social media and sound bites, and people consume 425 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 8: things differently. I think it's just all as a as 426 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 8: a collective package informs the way, you know, that we 427 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 8: can entertain and present the product to an audience. You know, 428 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 8: especially a younger audience today that you know, looks at 429 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 8: it in a different way that you know an older 430 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 8: generation would have that set out to watch a full 431 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 8: two hour soccer game. You know, some people don't do 432 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 8: that anymore. Some people watch highlights or just you know, 433 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 8: bits and pieces of it. So you know, to be 434 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 8: able to cover and check all those boxes is something 435 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 8: that you know, I think is a is a good thing. 436 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 4: How have you stayed in the game as long as 437 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 4: you have, my friend, because it's really impressive, truly truly impressive. 438 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: Uh What. 439 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 8: I hide on the wing, all right, I don't get 440 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 8: in the middle, you know, where all the patterns of 441 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 8: play occur. I stay out on the wing so that 442 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 8: occasionally the ball comes my way and then I let 443 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 8: the defender overlap and then he takes the possession and 444 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 8: I just kind of stay out of the way, and 445 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 8: so you know, I just kind of like I'm out 446 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 8: of the the blastome when things go bad, let's put 447 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 8: it that way. No, to answer your question, you know 448 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 8: you basically as long as you know you have a 449 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 8: passion for it, I think that you can find a 450 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 8: place and you just look for good people to work with, 451 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 8: and that's really the key.
