6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: also joined by Colts Ring of Honor. Remember Bill Brooks

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: very excited for our guests this week, getting us prepared

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: for the Lions. He is an Indiana native, the pride

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: of Evansville. You hear him everywhere during college football NFL season.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: You turn on Matt Madden video game, you'll also hear

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: him there. It's Brandon god and Brandon thank you so

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: much for taking some time to talk with us. I

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Casey, thanks for the kind introduction. Well, you know,

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I want to stick with that introduction. You know, we

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: talk about the Indiana ties. We know you're from Evansville.

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: You went to Butler, You were the voice of Butler

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: basketball during those incredible runs. I want to ask you now,

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Butler basketball has been down a little bit, but Thad

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: Mada back in the mix. How about that? Yeah? I

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: mean I'm extremely excited and Look, I loved Laval George

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: and he's one of the best guys you'll ever be around,

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: so it was hard for me to see him get

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: passed for this next opportunity for coach Matta. But I

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: get it. And they say that season tickets are booming,

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: and I think that they've got a lot back. They've

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: added a couple pieces, so there certainly is a lot

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: of excitement around Hinklefield House and I can't wait for

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: November to roll around for that. So that's Brandon God

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: and you can hear him on Big ten Network, Fox

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: Westwood One and also on the Madden Video game, and

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you'll be handling the play by play duties for the

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Lions during the preseason. We've had a couple joint practices

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: this week here in Indy, so we're not expected to

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: see too many frontline players in the game coming up

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: here on Saturday. So mainly just big picture. Let's start

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: with the quarterback Jared Goff. Is he the long term

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: answer for the Lions or is that someone they're still

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. I think it's something they're trying

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: to figure out. The good news is they have an

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator now in his first season named Ben Johnson,

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: who is very close with Jared Goff, and they actually

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: worked this off season together to kind of build this offense. Now,

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: there will be elements of last year's offense, of course

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: that are still there because Dan Campbell's the head coach returning,

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: but there will be a lot of new pieces. What

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: they wanted to do was implement what Jared Goff had

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: success with when he was with the Rams. That means,

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: and we saw it in the first preseason game when

49
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: he was out there. You're going to see a lot

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: more play action this year. And they feel like they've

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: got more explosive playmakers on the offensive side. T J.

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Hawkinson is back, but they feel like they've got a

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: really good combination at running back with DeAndre Swift and

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. They brought in DJ Chark, who Colts fans

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: will remember from Jacksonville. He feels like he's got a

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: new lease on life at wide receiver. So I think

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: if you think about how they're changing things on offense,

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Jared Goff says he feels like a rookie again, like

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: he's re energized by this new system and this new

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I think it's going to be a good

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: fit in a much better year for the Lions than

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: it was a season ago when they won just three games. Brandon,

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: you mentioned DeAndre Swift. Now last year he missed four

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: games but still had over a thousand yards from scrimmage.

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: How important is he going to be in this Lions

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: offense with as you mentioned, new offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Yeah,

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: we'll keep in mind too, with those thousand scrimmage yards,

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: a Lions running back had not done that in eight seasons.

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: So we know that the Lions since it seems like

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: since Barry Sanders, have really failed to find that key

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: running back and they feel like, look, I'm not saying

72
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is Barry Sanders. Let's not get out of control.

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: But I think when you couple him with Jamal Williams,

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: they had pretty even carries last year and pretty even

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: rushing numbers, it's a pretty potent one two punch now

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 1: because of the playmakers offensively that they've added, I think

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: what sometimes is getting lost in the mix is that

78
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: this offensive line could be one of the best in

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. They really have a solid front headed up

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: by Frank Ragnow in the center. It's a really really

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: good offensive line, So I don't think that they'll struggle

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: to score points. You guys may be getting to this

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: in the future here in these questions, but I think

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: the question mark really for Detroit will be heavily on

85
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. Now, I want to

86
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: move to a position that offensive corney to Ben Johnson

87
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: has coach in the past, and that is tight ends. TJ.

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: Hockinson is one of the most reliable tight ends in

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: this league. Last year he missed five games be cuffing injury.

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: How good can TJ. Hockson be in the National Football League?

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he can be one of the best tight ends,

92
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: no question in the league. I mean, and you saw

93
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: two years ago he makes a Pro Bowl in twenty twenty.

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Last year, if he did not have those games missed

95
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: with a thumb injury that he referenced, he would have

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: had better numbers than he did in twenty twenty. And

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: they really think because they've added a couple pieces at

98
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver. We haven't even mentioned Jamison Williams, their first

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: round draft pick, the wide receiver out of Alabama, but

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: they think because of adding him in Shark that Hockinson

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: will actually be freer. He was such a focal point

102
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: for defenses last year and he still will be. But

103
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: they think now that they've got more weapons at wide receiver,

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: it should open things up even more for Hockinson. And

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: keep this in mind too. The offensive coordinator we talked

106
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: about Ben Johnson, he's the former tight ends coach. He

107
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: has a very close relationship with t J. Hawkinson. So

108
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: if you're coming up with a fantasy football draft and

109
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: you need to take a tight end in the six

110
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: or seventh round, I would be looking seriously at t J.

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Hawkinson because he could have a huge season. We're talking

112
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: with Brandon Goden, who's gonna be on the call for

113
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the Lions preseason TV. Now I wanted to talk about

114
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: the guy you just he just briefly mentioned. Jamison Williams,

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: arguably the best receiver in college football. Last year tour

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: his ACL the National Championship Game, which made him fall

117
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: a little bit further the draft, and I'm sure the

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Lions fans were pretty excited for able to grab him.

119
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: What are the expectations for him coming off an injury.

120
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: I know it's an ACL which a lot of times

121
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: guys are recovering faster and faster from that. But what

122
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: are the expectations for him? Yeah, well, first off, with

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: the injury, he hasn't been doing anything other than workouts

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: on his own. So they have not said this, So

125
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: don't quote me as saying this came from the coaches,

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: because it didn't. But it seems like he may still

127
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: be about a month away. I would be shocked if

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: you would see him in the first couple of games

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: of the season. Remember you mentioned he dropped a little

130
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: bit because of the injury, and he did and number twelve.

131
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: The Lions, though, moved up twenty spots to get him

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: from thirty two to twelve. They really wanted him, and

133
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: when he is healthy, what he does is he adds

134
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: that big play threat that they laughed last year when

135
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: they were good in the passing game, a lot of

136
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: it was going to Aman Ross Saint Brown. Here's a

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: great receiver, but he's more of your short to intermediate

138
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: passing game. Jamison Williams, and they're hoping Chark as well,

139
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: can take the top off of a defense, can really

140
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: get downfield and be that vertical threat with their speed

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and explosiveness. And look, all all signs and everything. I'm

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: hearing you're saying that his ACL recovery's going great. You

143
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: just got to remember that it happened at the end

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: of last season, so he needs a little bit more time.

145
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: But once he's out there, he should be really, really

146
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: good now flipping the defensive side of the ball, sticking

147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: with the youth. You know, they're at the second overall pick.

148
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: They took the local product and Aiden Hudginson from Plymouth, Michigan.

149
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people before the draft say

150
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: he was one of the safest picks in this draft.

151
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: What have been the first impressions of Aiden during camp?

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: So last week against the Falcons in the first preseason game,

153
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: second play from scrimmage, he beats a block on the

154
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: outside and he gets a five yard tackle for loss,

155
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: and ford Field went nuts because that's what they've been

156
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: waiting for. This defense has struggled. They were really towards

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: the bottom of the league in every category last year,

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: and a big reason why they struggled is they could

159
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: not get pressure in the backfield. They couldn't get sacks,

160
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't get tackles for loss. So Aiden Hutchinson here

161
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: he is. He's the hometown kid. He played at Michigan.

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: It's like the perfect story. And on the second play

163
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason he gets in for a five yard

164
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: loss behind the line of scrimmage. So yeah, I mean,

165
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: I think he was a very safe pick. He was

166
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: the obvious choice. Detroit wanted him, he wanted to be

167
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: in Detroit. It seems to be the perfect marriage. Now, look,

168
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: if you're eight games into the season and he hasn't

169
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: produced or his numbers are just okay, which is possible

170
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: when you're a rookie, then it could let some air

171
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: out of the balloon. But there's about as much excitement

172
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: for Aiden Hutchinson in Detroit as I think there could

173
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: be for any player in any city. Brandon I want

174
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: to stay with the defense here and moved the corner.

175
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Jeffekuta has had a rough start to his career. He

176
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: has only played in ten games in two years due

177
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to injuries. It's coming back coming back off a torn

178
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: achilles last year. How are you looking camp and what

179
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: are the expectations for him going into this season? He

180
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: looked shaky early on in camp, just not like he

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent himself. Even though when camp started

182
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: and reporters circled around him. The first thing he said

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: is I am so hungry. I feel like I haven't

184
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: eaten in years. And he said that because of what

185
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Is a rookie, he misses seven games because

186
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: of a core injury last year. He's so excited to

187
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: get back out there. Week one, he tears out achilles,

188
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: misses the rest of the season. So when you're a

189
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: number three pick and you came from a program like

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State with all these expectations and you haven't been

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: able to be out there, he's frustrated. He's hungry. But

192
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: the first couple of verse, I would say three or

193
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: four practices a camp were a little shaky. But Dan

194
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Campbell said he was encouraged by the game against Atlanta

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: and he made a couple nice tackles and looked pretty

196
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: comfortable out there and had some nice plays. But he

197
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: is not locked in as a starter. He is in

198
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: a position battle to get that second position. So they

199
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: know that amani O Rewarier will be one starting corner.

200
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: The question is will accou to get the other spot,

201
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: and that remains to be seen. Will Harris is the

202
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: guy He's kind of battling for that starting position Either way, though,

203
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: you should see Akuta, if healthy, playing regular snaps this season. Well,

204
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: final thing with Brandon god and who's going to be

205
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: on the call for the Lions preseason TV. Looking at

206
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: this season as a whole, what are the expectations for

207
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: this team? I know there are a three win team

208
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: last year, seems like they've added a handful of pieces

209
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: via through the draft and free agency. What are those

210
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: expectations for this team in twenty twenty two? I think

211
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: expectations would be to win around seven or eight games,

212
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and anything more than that I think would be ahead

213
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: of schedule. And some Lions fans may hear that and say, well,

214
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to go into a season saying that

215
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: you're going to miss the playoffs. No, but realize where

216
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: you've been, Realize the struggles that this franchise has had,

217
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: what Dan Campbell's trying to build, And I think if

218
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: you go from three wins to seven or eight. Look,

219
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: if you told Dan Campbell that right now, he'd say

220
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. And I understand that. But for

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: us on the outside looking him, we can say, I

222
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: think that that would be a success if they won.

223
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if they won nine or ten it

224
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me because of that offense. But the defense

225
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: has got to play better. I definitely think they win

226
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: more than three. I think they double that win total

227
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: this year and start to build for the future. But

228
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: the defense has to show us more than they did

229
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: a season ago. That's for certain. Well there you go,

230
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Brandon God, and I'm sure you don't need this, but

231
