Speaker 1: Welcome to this episode of the Group Chat. The players
Speaker 1: are back and they're in Spartan, South Carolina for training camp,
Speaker 1: and the arrivals are always extravagant. So we talk all
Speaker 1: the observations that we saw from when the players arrived
Speaker 1: here at Watford, including an extremely long conversation about the
Speaker 1: Lion King. It's literally the same movie, just with like
Speaker 1: updated technology for the animations of it. We then run
Speaker 1: through some of our favorite arrivals that we've ever seen
Speaker 1: or even heard of from not only Panthers camp, but
Speaker 1: from all across the NFL. The best Panthers arrival is
Speaker 1: when Curtis Samuel got dropped off by his mom. And
Speaker 1: finally we end with a brand new segment called That's
Speaker 1: What He Said, where we're talking about the biggest quotes
Speaker 1: that we enjoyed hearing from media availability. Shack Thompson talked
Speaker 1: today you can hear just this the sense of you know,
Speaker 1: he comes in with Cameron Artist Pain and he realizes that,
Speaker 1: you know, these guys are in veteran roles. Now you'll
Speaker 1: hear all this and more on this episode of the
Speaker 1: Group Chat. You've been added to the Group Chat with
Speaker 1: your friends. Caroline can Max Sensen and Will Brian welcome
Speaker 1: everyone to Spartanburg, South Carolina. Because the Panthers are officially
Speaker 1: at training camp. That means we are officially at training camp.
Speaker 1: And our radio studio looks quite different than what we
Speaker 1: normally get to sit in. It's white walls, white blinds,
Speaker 1: white desk, and a nice gray carpet. So we seem
Speaker 1: a little bland on the podcast. It's it's our surroundings. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not our faults. Of two of us are sitting,
Speaker 1: one of us is standing. I'll let everybody guess which
Speaker 1: what's standing. It's an interesting dynamic right now as we
Speaker 1: get in to our second group chat here. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter what the surroundings are. There's no way
Speaker 1: we can be dull because today was an exciting day.
Speaker 1: All the players arrived for training camp and I'm glad
Speaker 1: that we're not having to talk about how someone didn't
Speaker 1: show up. Yeah, that's a good thing. Never never a
Speaker 1: good thing. If you've got any sort of holdout issue.
Speaker 1: There was almost everyone can relax. Brian Burns signed everybody's
Speaker 1: president accounted for ready to go. Yeah, we did get
Speaker 1: close there. Brian Burns literally signed he actually showed up
Speaker 1: and then went and signed and so he's here. Marty
Speaker 1: Herney talked about that earlier today, just how they knew
Speaker 1: they were going to get it done, but it just
Speaker 1: took them till the last minute. He said it was
Speaker 1: a language issue. Somebody on Twitter was funny, it was like, dang,
Speaker 1: we put it in Spanish again. They got they got
Speaker 1: that sorted out and now we're all good to go.
Speaker 1: That guy on the pod, that was a really good
Speaker 1: joke right there, but um, it wasn't exciting days. We're
Speaker 1: going to kind of kick this off starting about just
Speaker 1: observations because rolling up to training camp like this is
Speaker 1: something that guys can plan for. They know this is coming,
Speaker 1: get your car washed, look clean, rolling into the parking
Speaker 1: lot and then whatever you pull out of your car
Speaker 1: is fair game. Because to set the scene of how
Speaker 1: this all goes about, these players, they come into the
Speaker 1: parking lot, there's a group of media at both entrances
Speaker 1: of the building, so you're not getting away. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to like sneak anything into these dorms,
Speaker 1: like it's going to be photographed, talked about on the news,
Speaker 1: talked about on our podcast, like everything is fair game.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go observations from today, and I'll go
Speaker 1: first because this is one that I think could go
Speaker 1: under the radar. But we moved into our dorms as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: they are bland, about as bland as this room that
Speaker 1: we're in. However, this white looks a lot cleaner than
Speaker 1: the white that we have in our dorms. But Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: he's been here before, he gets it. He knows that
Speaker 1: we need to jump out of bed. A rug would
Speaker 1: be nice to land on. Homeboy walked in there with
Speaker 1: a rug coming out. It was just so off the
Speaker 1: wall to me, I was like, you know what I
Speaker 1: should have asked? There is nothing colder than the floors
Speaker 1: of a Wafford dorm room at six am in the morning.
Speaker 1: I can attest there's nothing colder in the world. I've
Speaker 1: never experienced it. And it was sixty degrees this morning
Speaker 1: when we got up to go. It was like very
Speaker 1: just comfortable out there. I never used that word to
Speaker 1: describe Sparti bird weather, but it was quite nice. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that was mine a rung. It could have gone
Speaker 1: under the radar. That was not something that you guys
Speaker 1: necessarily noticed. But when he I mean it was a
Speaker 1: big rock to this was one over his shoulder, Like
Speaker 1: might not fit in the room, It might be running
Speaker 1: up the walls a little bit on the side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he must have a pretty big room with that size
Speaker 1: rug because I noticed the same thing. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is huge. He's now on the first floor though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said, so maybe those those first floor rooms are
Speaker 1: you know, you know, deluxe sized. I did ask KK today, like,
Speaker 1: be honest, you are not sleeping in a twin bed
Speaker 1: while here, because that's what you think. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: sleeping in. That's what I ryone sleeping. Yeah, these guys
Speaker 1: will ship down king size beds. I mean that's the
Speaker 1: veteran move. Yeah, he said, rookies have to sleep in
Speaker 1: twin but that other bets can order beds. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that these offenses, like can you imagine being
Speaker 1: sis I'm just like our defensive line in twin beds.
Speaker 1: What the other veteran move, owned by one Preston Edwards,
Speaker 1: is to take the bed out of the other room,
Speaker 1: move the entire frame into your room, and then put
Speaker 1: your mattress across both. Okay, but that would work. Um,
Speaker 1: but we don't have that at the Girl Storms there's
Speaker 1: not another room, like everyone has a twin bed. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you guys have that option to move
Speaker 1: that in there, and I hope you do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So mine was Christian McCaffrey showing up with a very
Speaker 1: large rug that I'm jealous of. Let's go, will what's yours? Um?
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan walking in as you said, you know you
Speaker 1: have to go buy all of the media members um
Speaker 1: on on the one side. Somehow he managed to get
Speaker 1: by without anyone seeing this until one of the three
Speaker 1: of us pointed this out again. I won't say who
Speaker 1: um that one of his bags is a blue Nike
Speaker 1: bag with New England Patriots paraphernali. I heard that. He
Speaker 1: didn't even realize and he looked at it and he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, sorry, guest. Yeah. We we yelled out
Speaker 1: to him, like, hey, we should get you a new
Speaker 1: Duffle bag and he was like what and he looked
Speaker 1: at his other bag. We were like, no, the big
Speaker 1: Duffle one, and he looked back. He was like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Not to mention he had a TB twelve
Speaker 1: book bag. You're pretty sure he's wearing in the photo
Speaker 1: gallery which we posted today. But you know that it
Speaker 1: is funny. Some guys did get out of their cars
Speaker 1: and like maybe they have a deal with Nike or
Speaker 1: under Armo or whatever, and like they had a bag
Speaker 1: that had another logo on it and they made the
Speaker 1: intern carry it. They're like, I can't walk through the
Speaker 1: media with this bag, Like you have to carry it. Um,
Speaker 1: that's something that us, as high profile people are sponsors,
Speaker 1: are just so mad at us. So mad. All right,
Speaker 1: Max give um. I'll just go with Gerald McCoy's outfit today,
Speaker 1: which was phenomenal. He I'm sure our listeners have seen
Speaker 1: images of this by now, but it was this like
Speaker 1: crew Nex sweatshirt that had the cartoon version of the
Speaker 1: original Lion King characters on it and it was just spectacular.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, Simba, I think he clearly won best dress
Speaker 1: to Cam. I don't know what you call what Cam
Speaker 1: was wearing today, but it was something. I'm giving it
Speaker 1: to Gerald McCoy for the winner of best dress at
Speaker 1: a rival day. Yeah, I mean Cam gave us something
Speaker 1: to talk about though, Yes he did, which is right
Speaker 1: up his alley. He showed up. If if you have
Speaker 1: not seen the photos. I'm not going to ruin it
Speaker 1: for you. You You just need to go look at drip
Speaker 1: com on Twitter right now and and and they're on
Speaker 1: the website. So just go look. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: you're welcome because that is quite the get up. But
Speaker 1: Jereal McCoy, the have you guys seen the New Lion King?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you. I asked him too. I was like,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts and New Lion King? Assuming that
Speaker 1: if you're gonna wear a shirt like that, you had
Speaker 1: to have seen it, and he said, yeah, with all
Speaker 1: my kids, we definitely went and saw it, saw it,
Speaker 1: and yeah, he said he liked it. I hear that
Speaker 1: it's it's literally the same movie, just with like updated
Speaker 1: technology for the animations of it. Is that true? That's
Speaker 1: like it is different about it. So Tomow and Poomba
Speaker 1: are the only characters that are different as far as
Speaker 1: like what they say. But it is like it's the
Speaker 1: Lion King. I mean, you can't carbon it's it's the
Speaker 1: Lion King. But the animation is just unbelievable. And I
Speaker 1: think being in video production, like having that be my background,
Speaker 1: I was just I was geeking out. I was sitting
Speaker 1: there just like, oh my gosh, Like and I think
Speaker 1: if you go back and you look at how they
Speaker 1: like the fur, and then you know they I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show my like nerd side. But they figured out how
Speaker 1: to do for an animation from like Monsters, inc. So
Speaker 1: the first one, Suley was like the only one that
Speaker 1: had for And now you move into like now they're
Speaker 1: doing a whole movie with like all this fur, and
Speaker 1: it's just it really is insane. Like when you look
Speaker 1: up close with their faces, like I think that's real life.
Speaker 1: Yeah that sounds but it is weird to see a
Speaker 1: real lion talk. Yeah, that's the thing. Well, like they
Speaker 1: don't talk, so it looks like real life. It looksn't
Speaker 1: look at all like it. No, No, I feel like
Speaker 1: there's a spectrum they could have done from like cartoon
Speaker 1: to real life and somewhere like in the middle, but
Speaker 1: they went like full the full real life. It really
Speaker 1: is very, very impressive. But to Mona Pumba, I think
Speaker 1: they're more funny. In the new version. They just kind
Speaker 1: of like spiced it up a little bit, whereas it
Speaker 1: was and it was like those are the only parts
Speaker 1: already kind of spicy. If I remember exactly, and maybe
Speaker 1: I'm not remembering it correctly because I was so young,
Speaker 1: but it was a little bit more modern. The references
Speaker 1: that they were making were a little bit more model.
Speaker 1: Did the saddest scene I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: that to make you cry in this one. It was
Speaker 1: one of those where I just didn't want to watch
Speaker 1: it again and you just get so sad and you
Speaker 1: know it's coming, but I didn't some people. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we're off on a tangent. Everyone welcome to the group.
Speaker 1: This was not on here, but this is what happens.
Speaker 1: But for that scene, you knew it was coming, and
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go back and watch the first one.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go in and see, like what
Speaker 1: do I remember? What do I not remember? Although I
Speaker 1: will say everyone, I was in the popcorn line and
Speaker 1: I missed the very very beginning, missed the song. NA
Speaker 1: miss that. I mean, that's the whole thing. I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about it. Yeah, that's that's I know.
Speaker 1: What's the popcorn worth? It couldn't have been worth it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's pretty good, except for in the
Speaker 1: middle of the movie, like we flipped it somehow was
Speaker 1: flipped and in the air, and all the popcorn was
Speaker 1: in front of us on the flipped and then the
Speaker 1: popcorn itself was younger in my bag. I don't get
Speaker 1: a bucket. You don't get the bag of popcorn. When
Speaker 1: you go you get the bucket of popcorn. It's like
Speaker 1: a dollar more. It's like Starbucks. They just rope in.
Speaker 1: It's all expensive. But yeah, it was sitting there. We
Speaker 1: flipped it and UM, I will not be on my
Speaker 1: phone in a movie, but I'll probably spill a drink
Speaker 1: or in this case, popcorn. So there's your tangent. Now
Speaker 1: we will come back and thank you Jerry McCoy for
Speaker 1: wearing a Lion King shirt so that we could go
Speaker 1: off on that tangent. But it was it was just
Speaker 1: fun to see the guys show up and I just
Speaker 1: have them back. Wasn't it nice to to roam around
Speaker 1: to kind of see the layout of training camp. This
Speaker 1: is my first training camp here, so seeing how that
Speaker 1: all laid out, UM was really really, really cool. But
Speaker 1: I think what was interesting and maybe I'm spoiled because
Speaker 1: when I was in Indianapolis, we always had at least
Speaker 1: like one person show up in a ridiculous car and
Speaker 1: like want the media tention out of there. So I
Speaker 1: this was actually just like stories that even I heard
Speaker 1: when I was in Indie. We had a couple of
Speaker 1: players while I was there for three seasons, like really
Speaker 1: show up um in some interesting either outfits, like there
Speaker 1: was always the like original like going camping and you know,
Speaker 1: dressed like that. But um, Reggie Wayne, if anyone out
Speaker 1: there UM has paid attention at all when he arrives
Speaker 1: at camp, He's done some outrageous things like he arrived
Speaker 1: one year in a helicopter and then in an yeah,
Speaker 1: in an Indie car. Um he hired a dump truck
Speaker 1: and put like Wayne like construction on the side of
Speaker 1: it and came in like a hard hat because they
Speaker 1: got to go to work. Um. He showed up with
Speaker 1: an entire like military infantry, like a very large group
Speaker 1: of military or like yeah, and was saying, like I
Speaker 1: respect what they do. They work so hard. We need
Speaker 1: to bring the same mentality. Like it wasn't a bit
Speaker 1: when he showed up. And so the media they don't
Speaker 1: really care about football. They were just there because everyone
Speaker 1: wanted to see how he was going to show up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's there has not been anything like that I can
Speaker 1: recall and at least my time with the Panthers, no
Speaker 1: one where it's been like, oh, we gotta see what
Speaker 1: X player is going to do this year, Like and
Speaker 1: I saw, of course, uh down in Jacksonville Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: with the brink struck and man, this year, um, the
Speaker 1: best the best Panthers arrival. I can. I think it's
Speaker 1: toime to be tough to top is when Curtis Samuel
Speaker 1: got dropped off by his mom. It was just so
Speaker 1: like adorable and in the NFL to have a player
Speaker 1: get dropped off, I mean that was just that was awesome. Um.
Speaker 1: Close second would be I want to say j Klein
Speaker 1: backing into another car as he was pulling in, just
Speaker 1: because that was hilarious and like you said, like Caroline
Speaker 1: painted the picture, like all the media that's there, imagine
Speaker 1: all these cameras, Like every movie these guys make is
Speaker 1: being like captured, so like to not have the best
Speaker 1: parking execution, that's that's a rough. That's rough. And then
Speaker 1: on that same note, it was dramatic for its ability
Speaker 1: to avoid the media for the last two years. Julius Peppers,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know he's a pretty big guy. Now,
Speaker 1: was that Julie Julius Julius Fraser Peppers, So somehow he's
Speaker 1: he was. He didn't come the night before he came
Speaker 1: and somehow got into the dorms and nobody knew he
Speaker 1: was host. He just he just appeared. Nobody saw him
Speaker 1: get in. What I kind of loved today was some
Speaker 1: people thought that Luke Kikley bought everyone golf carts. Everyone.
Speaker 1: He did not buy them golf carts. He arranged for
Speaker 1: them to rent, said golf carts that are around here.
Speaker 1: But I thought that was pretty funny. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: go ahead, look, oh okay, you rented this. Still, go ahead,
Speaker 1: good job, thank you presenting that up for your players.
Speaker 1: That's very very nice. But um, yeah, we didn't have
Speaker 1: anyone showing up in a helicopter. Greg Little did show
Speaker 1: up in a brand new car, doesn't even have a
Speaker 1: tag on it yet. He was pretty proud of that.
Speaker 1: But oh yeah, there's always nice cars. It's always great
Speaker 1: when you like, you know, what's a player rolling in
Speaker 1: or like, I mean, do you remember because you've got
Speaker 1: like a Maserati and then like a Honda Civic. I
Speaker 1: was wondering what car you're going to Not a Honda
Speaker 1: Accord because those are slick and all right to camera,
Speaker 1: maybe let's go, let's go, I mean, and then today
Speaker 1: that I enjoyed when pretty early on the entire media
Speaker 1: group is all around this this car with tinted windows,
Speaker 1: no one can really see who's in it, and he
Speaker 1: pulls up right in the front and it's just just
Speaker 1: sitting there, just just humming. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like Luke Kickley is going to talk on the
Speaker 1: other side. Every run runs away and DJ Moore like
Speaker 1: waits till everyone leaves, and then pops out with his
Speaker 1: new his new incredibly great tidy sweatshirt for the cat pack,
Speaker 1: and of course we're right there to take the pictures.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, everyone had waited. He waited. I will
Speaker 1: say one thing at the coals that we did talk
Speaker 1: about was t Y Hilton has two Lamborghinis. One is
Speaker 1: electric blue and the other one is lime green, and
Speaker 1: we would he would bring them both the camp, but
Speaker 1: like switch off on an off day, he'd go, like
Speaker 1: switch it out there. Anything worse than getting sick of
Speaker 1: your blue Lamborghini and you're ready for your green one. Exactly,
Speaker 1: so we would always try and guess is a blue
Speaker 1: or green that is going to show up him, But
Speaker 1: just you know, highly realistic things that we should be
Speaker 1: able to obtain. Sometimes I get sick of the color
Speaker 1: of my car, so I just like dented on something,
Speaker 1: so I just let it get super dirty so it
Speaker 1: slightly looks a different color. There we go. But those
Speaker 1: are observations from today as far as watching players come in.
Speaker 1: But what also happened today first day of training camp
Speaker 1: is availability. We were able to talk to some players
Speaker 1: here from coach here from GM today and so we're
Speaker 1: introducing a new segment called That's what he Said. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna run through the media availability, pick a quote
Speaker 1: that we like the best, um and just talk about
Speaker 1: it a little bit. So I went first on the observations.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go first here, so not everyone at once.
Speaker 1: It's either Will or Max who's going first. I'm going first?
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. All right, I'll go first.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Curtis Samuel, who I thought was
Speaker 1: fantastic and talking to the media today. He's just uh
Speaker 1: ouzing confidence right now and which is awesome to see
Speaker 1: from a young guy. Um, let's play this clip a
Speaker 1: little bit of what Curtis had to say to the
Speaker 1: media today. What even once he right, I feel like
Speaker 1: a bunch of peo've been telling me I got bigger,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like I got faster,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. That's kind of scary, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think you get a taste right there from
Speaker 1: Curtis's He's just full of swagger right now, and I
Speaker 1: love it. Wide receivers need to be Yeah, you're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: you've got to have that as a wide out, and
Speaker 1: he's clearly more confident, he's more comfortable, and like you said,
Speaker 1: if he's out there and healthy, which is a question
Speaker 1: for him still, he's still got to prove that he
Speaker 1: can be durable enough to play a full season in
Speaker 1: this league and do it consistently. But if he's out there,
Speaker 1: you best believe he's gonna make something happen. And I
Speaker 1: just I love it. I love where Curtis Samuel is
Speaker 1: at right now. Uh, And I think there's big, big
Speaker 1: things to come for him. And that's still a position
Speaker 1: that's just completely wide open as far as like who's
Speaker 1: going to really emerge out of that group. So it
Speaker 1: was fun. It was fun to hear him be goodbye.
Speaker 1: Not even I won't say overly confident, but just it
Speaker 1: was a little bit surprised. Just the right amount go ahead,
Speaker 1: go ahead, you need that, all right, you're up well.
Speaker 1: Shack Thompson talked today. He talked this on this day
Speaker 1: last year, and um, you know, he was asked about Luke,
Speaker 1: asked about Thomas Davis leaving. But really, you know, the
Speaker 1: thing that struck me was kind of near the end
Speaker 1: he talked about, um, what you know, how how he's
Speaker 1: getting older, you know, and what this camp really means
Speaker 1: showing up to here we'll take a look in at
Speaker 1: this time is fun. I mean I was thinking to
Speaker 1: just drive him down. Cat was like, man made this
Speaker 1: is our fifth year. Like we came in together, we
Speaker 1: still here together, and it was just like it was remarkable.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy I'm still here. You can hear just
Speaker 1: this the sense of you know, he comes in with
Speaker 1: Cameron Artist Pain and he realizes that, you know, these
Speaker 1: guys are are in veteran roles now, you know, and
Speaker 1: he's going to be called upon to to be a
Speaker 1: leader on this defense alongside Luke, Um and I think
Speaker 1: he's really trying to embrace that. Credit to the guy
Speaker 1: who asked that question, by the way, that brought out
Speaker 1: such a profound answer from Shack. I don't know who
Speaker 1: it was, just saying it was you. You might he
Speaker 1: asked to leave the group chat. You're really setting yourself
Speaker 1: up here in Max too. Am I going to get
Speaker 1: an early department? Yeah? Well was kicked out last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're up next, Max. There no, Max, that was
Speaker 1: such a great question. Um, But I think the leadership
Speaker 1: aspect of this entire team is interesting. Uh, it looks
Speaker 1: completely different. There's a lot of youth, and when you
Speaker 1: have a lot of youth, sometimes even those better and voices,
Speaker 1: can you know, they can be drowned out a little
Speaker 1: bit by this new culture that's here. So I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see how that's going to play out. I am
Speaker 1: going to go with one of those veterans. Today, Luke
Speaker 1: Keikley took to the podium and sweet, sweet, innocent, wonderful,
Speaker 1: good boy Luke Keekley dropping f bombs all over the
Speaker 1: place and all are nothing. And he was asked today
Speaker 1: about that because I think a lot of people were surprised,
Speaker 1: like does he even know that word. Okay, So he
Speaker 1: was asked about the F bombs and all or nothing,
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say. That was a
Speaker 1: voiceover that there's a voice over. They must have did something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's what happened. Now. Man, it's a game
Speaker 1: everyone's having. It's intense out there, so sometimes stuff slips
Speaker 1: every once in a long If that's not the most
Speaker 1: Luke Keikly like wit doy response I've ever heard, come on,
Speaker 1: that was pretty good little voice over. Actually he came
Speaker 1: prepared for that question and how he was He was ready.
Speaker 1: But I love it. I absolutely love that that's how
Speaker 1: he approached it. I just think they all are nothing.
Speaker 1: That's what it did. It just and in his response,
Speaker 1: which he's like, it's a it's a game. It's it's
Speaker 1: a heat at the moment. It's intense, and that's what
Speaker 1: we see now you're just hearing it. So there you go,
Speaker 1: people out there that we're surprised. The thing about Luke
Speaker 1: everyone has always says since got here is he's a
Speaker 1: like flip the switch guy. So yeah, the flip gets
Speaker 1: switch gets flipped, and that's that's what happens. I even
Speaker 1: think you saw a like lesser version of that. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can't see all of Luke. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be mad, but we're saying that. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it gets it gets worse. It's not not the language people,
Speaker 1: just the aggression. We're just talking outwards as physical games,
Speaker 1: not flying around a million miles an hour hitting guys
Speaker 1: as hard as he can. Yeah, he's not just this
Speaker 1: nice guy that rents golf cards for his teammates. And
Speaker 1: it is gonna it's gonna be interesting. Max and I've
Speaker 1: been talking about this, you know. There there's all these
Speaker 1: things and they kind of asked a little bit of today.
Speaker 1: There's these traditions, and there's these times for these speeches,
Speaker 1: and there's these just things that have always happened and
Speaker 1: have always been done a certain way because of veterans
Speaker 1: like Ryan Kleil and Thomas Davis and these guys that
Speaker 1: have been here for decades literally, and you know, now
Speaker 1: they're all gone, Who's going to be doing this stuff?
Speaker 1: I think it was a great sign today Lucas here.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm taking care of my guys, were
Speaker 1: taking care of this group. I'm going to be the
Speaker 1: one doing that, So you know, what are who are
Speaker 1: going taking on these roles as we move forward. You know,
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the one, you know, doing that speech
