1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You've been in the situation before being uh, you know,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: an nfl PA representative UM in regards to UM, you

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: know kind of the frustration that players around the league

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: have expressed about UM, you know, the new regulations surrounding COVID.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: From your perspective, right, you know, even though you're not

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: in that role, now, how do you balance you know,

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: that individual you know kind of choice that people are

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: talking about and you're wanting to look out for, you know,

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: the rights of you know, players with the realities of

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: the pandemic is still happening, and this you know very

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: much still affects people on on a broader scale. So UM,

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: from from your perspective, like, how tough is that balance? Yeah,

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a difficult one. Certainly. I think the the

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: job of the PA is to ensure that each and

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: every player feels like they're protected and represented and that

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: their rights are you know, certainly protected. But you know,

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: we're we're playing a unique time right now where I

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: think they're oftentimes more questions than answers. So it is

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: a balancing act. And look, anytime you implement any type

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: of protocols in any setting, you know, not everyone's going

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to be happy with the protocols. I mean that's it

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: could be this situation, it could be any other workplace situation,

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: it could be on a state level, national level. So

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I assume that there will be dialogue moving forward. You know,

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it's important that our leadership makes all the

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: players feel like they're supported. I can't speak to the

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: job that they're doing because I'm not intimately familiar with

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: the process, but I hope that at the end of

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: all this that gods feel like they're adequately represented protected.

30
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Especial means all fall by Andrew Kellyan. Hey, Matthew,

31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: welcome back. Thank you. Kind of along the lines talking

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: about the union. You know, Matthew Judon had a tweet

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: saying his disapproval with the union in terms of the

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: protocols and everything like that. How can you guys make

35
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: sure that that doesn't, you know, bubble up and cause

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: a divide in the locker room. Yeah. Look, I think

37
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: it's in terms of our locker room. We're going to

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody feels supported. And you know, there's

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: certain decisions that have to be made one way or

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the other, and I think that guys should feel comfortable

41
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to make decisions that they feel like are best for

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: them and their families, and we're going to support them

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: in doing so. In terms of league wide and how

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to scale that out, I don't know, And that's that's tough.

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: This is a very you know, emotional, tough issue for

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people. People have strong feelings and opinions

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: about the way things should be done. Certainly, you try

48
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: to hear everyone and act accordingly and do your best

49
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: to do what's in the best interest of all the players.

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a tall task for the PA.

51
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: The leadership is going to really need to step up

52
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: and make sure that they do a good job of

53
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: representing our players in a way that's fair for everyone.

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Callahan followed by Zach Cox and Matthew it's going

55
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: to see you. Thanks for taking the time here today.

56
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: I was asking David Andrews this in terms of, you know,

57
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: we know the paths aren't going to go on until

58
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: next week, and it's early in camp, so there's a

59
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: lot of learning to be done on the field, but

60
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: also in terms of your locker room. So I'm wondering,

61
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: as a long time leader in captain, what do you

62
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: do and what can you do to learn about just

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room, what the personality the

64
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: team might be, that new dynamic. I mean, do you

65
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: make any extra efforts to foster that or what have

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: you learned maybe in the past, just in the first

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: few days of about a new team each year. Yeah,

68
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I think you really have to be intentional in terms

69
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: of fostering relationships, you know, getting to know guys off

70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: the football field, learning what makes them tick, learning about

71
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: their families, learning about the things that motivate them. So

72
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: that requires the level of intentionality, and I think we

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: have guys that with enough emotional intelligence to be able

74
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: to sort that out and connect with their teammates. The

75
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: locker room is such a unique place. There's so many

76
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: different mentalities and interest and communities and families represented. It's

77
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: a terrific blend of all those things. So we'll do

78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: a good job of that, just trying to get to

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: know each other as men as we go through this process,

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: because eventually, I think it's always the relationships and the

81
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: bonds that carry the teams throughout the course of the season. Obviously,

82
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: you got to play in the football but it helps

83
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: when you're going out there moving and acting as one

84
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: on that note for real, quickly ask ev In this too.

85
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: And I know things are one day at a time

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: and practice at a time, never more so than in

87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: training camp. But as someone who has built relationships in

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: this locker room for so long and known Devin and

89
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you guys have been leaders together, as someone who considered

90
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: retirement Devin's the last year of his contract, do you

91
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: have any sense, even in the back of your mind,

92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: or any sense at all like this might be a

93
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: last go round for us, kind of you know, passing

94
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: that baton on that torch to the guys coming up

95
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the season, not knowing what the future holds for either

96
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: of you, because to the last kind of tenured veterans

97
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: in that locker room. Yeah, you know, I do think

98
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: it's important that we cherish the moments that we have.

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: There are no guarantees, and I know for me player

100
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: in my position, there have never been any guarantees in

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: this league. So you know, with all the changes that

102
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: occurred in this league free agency and the way that

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: that's changed the landscape of the NFL, it's important that

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: you embrace every moment you have with that team that

105
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: icular season because change is inevitable and no one has

106
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: exempt from that. So certainly, as you've become older, you

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: know you're closer to the end, you try to hold

108
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: onto those moments a little bit more. You try to

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: hold on to the relationships a little bit more and

110
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: enjoy the process. And I think it's good if we

111
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: all do that. Whether you're you know, thirty five like myself,

112
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: or you're twenty two like some of our rookies, you know,

113
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: you got to enjoy the process. You can't take anything

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: for granted. You try to make the most. Thanks Matthew, Yeah,

115
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: Cox fall by you from Lazarre. Hey, Matthew, hope all

116
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: as well. This is sort of along the same lines

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: as Andrew's second question. When we spoke to you near

118
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the tail end of last season, you said you had

119
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: to give it some thought before you decided whether you

120
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: were going to come back for another season. I was

121
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: just wondering what made you make the decision to play

122
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, you know, for me, thankfully, the Good

123
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Lord bless me with the opportunity. They got to want

124
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: you here, so you know, coach wanted me back, and

125
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I felt good. And I still love this game. I

126
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: love to compete I love the process, the process of

127
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: preparing yourself to play a season. I love the relationships

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: that exist within the locker room. There's nothing like this.

129
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: And look, when it's done, it's done. You can't go

130
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: back five six years from now and pick it back up. So,

131
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: you know, spend some time praying about it. I felt

132
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: like it was the right thing to do for myself

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: and my family to continue to play, and thankful for

134
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity that has been presents to me. But now

135
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I've got to earn my keep. I mean, I've got

136
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: to go out here and make this team and contribute

137
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: at a high level and earn my spot here. Next question,

138
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: everyone's are fault like Christmason, Ay, Matthew, how's it going.

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm well, Evan, how are you? I'm doing well. Thanks.

140
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the younger players, as you

141
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: can probably relate to in the beginning of your career,

142
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: contributing on special teams is sort of a way to

143
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: make the team and a way to contribute and all

144
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. How much do you I know

145
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: you're not a coach, but how much do you kind

146
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: of help those younger players to contribute in the kicking game?

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: And learn those positions and be able to, you know,

148
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: give themselves four down value if you will. Yeah, you know,

149
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a big part of my role on

150
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: this team now is to try to get there, get

151
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: the buy in from the younger players and help them

152
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: to understand that, hey, this can be a bridge to

153
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: maybe more playing time for you in the future, or

154
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: just an opportunity for you to have a career. The

155
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: reality is you go out there, you're not going to

156
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: have seven starting receivers on game day. Somebody's gonna have

157
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: to go out there and play in the kicking game

158
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: if they're going to be active, and the same goes

159
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: for the linebacker of the same goals for you know,

160
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: the defensive acts and so on and so forth. So

161
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: helping those guys understand that and see the big picture

162
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: I think is part of my job as a leader

163
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: on this team, especially when it comes to the kicking game,

164
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: and you know, they want to give themselves every opportunity,

165
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: every chance they can to make this football team. They

166
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: show the coaches that they're flexible, they ad position flexibility,

167
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: they can go out contribute in a different number of

168
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: a variety of different ways. It's going to give them

169
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: a chance to make this team, and you want to

170
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: see everybody have success, So we'll be preaching that buy in.

171
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: In the past, we've had great buying from those young kids,

172
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it'll continue to be the same this year.

173
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Thanks matt Three final questions, so Chris, Mason, Phil Perry

175
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: doing this, no problem. I'm just wondering, what are your

176
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: first impressions of Quinn Ordine. We got a brief look

177
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: him and add mini camp, but it looked like he

178
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: had He's got a leg on him, He's got a

179
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: cannon on him. There's going down about that. He's super

180
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: explosive and quinnin he asked a ton of questions, which

181
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: I love young guys who ask questions. He's trying to learn,

182
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: he's trying to improve every day, he's trying to do

183
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: the right things, and you know, you can't ask for

184
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: more from a young player who's eager to learn and

185
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: improve and just to comme on and work hard. And

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: really our whole rookie class has kind of embraced that

187
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: mentality this year, So look forward to working with Quinn.

188
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: He's in a great room with some great veteran players.

189
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: Between Nick and Joe and Jake, he can learn a

190
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: great deal. So I'm sure he'll continue to learn. He's

191
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna get some good coaching. We'll see how it plays

192
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: out next Matthew. Last two questions, Phil Perry, Mikereas, Matthew.

193
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: Good to see you, sir. How are you, Phil? I'm great,

194
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm great. I just wanted to give you a chance.

195
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: We just heard from Devin he gave your wife Shazad

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: some credit for maybe helping with some understanding as as

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: you and you know, by extension, your team have kind

198
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: of been navigating this, this whole process. I wanted to

199
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to maybe share with us how

200
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: important she's been, as you've kind of been going through

201
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: the steps here, whether it's last year with COVID but

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: you know now vaccinations and going into another year where

203
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: with some protocols here. Well, that's that's really nice of Devin. Look,

204
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I think that my wife has a unique set of skills,

205
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: and her experience as a medical doctor really has been tremendous,

206
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: a tremendous resource for us during this time. I think

207
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: her big thing is just making sure that people are

208
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: able to make educated decisions. She's not telling people to

209
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: be vaccinated or telling people not being vaccinated. She just

210
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: wants to present them with facts. If they have questions,

211
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: she wants to get them the answers, even if she

212
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have it herself. She has colleagues that she can

213
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: speak to. They can kind of point guys in their

214
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: families in the right direction. So I'm so proud of her,

215
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: her willingness to serve in that way, her willingness to

216
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: make herselves available while she's you know, raising three children

217
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: to help people. And really, I mean, she tells me

218
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: all the time, the reason that she became a physician

219
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: is because she wanted to help people. And that's what

220
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: that's what this is about. For her. UM is serving,

221
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: educating UM using the gifts that God has given her

222
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: during during a really challenging time. And there's just like

223
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: I said earlier, there's so many questions, there's so many unknowns.

224
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: People have some valid concerns, and you know, you try

225
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: to get as many answers for them as you can.

226
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: Certainly there's some things that we don't have answers too,

227
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: and we won't for you know, several months and several years,

228
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: down years in some cases. But um, you know, I

229
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: just really love her and appreciate her willingness to serve

230
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: her humility and grace. Thanks to man, no problem, ask question,

231
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Mike Greece and Matthew Always good to see you. Started

232
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: to end on on an event that I think you're

233
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: hosting on the seventh of August down in Providence, a

234
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: community jamboree. Um, what what can people expect from that?

235
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe just a little bit more on

236
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: why you put it together your foundation? Yeah? Absolutely, Oh

237
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: well again, my wife is a major driving force behind

238
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: this event. We started our foundation. I hope to just

239
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: helping people. I mean, we've been given such a unique

240
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: platform through the game of football, and we feel really

241
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: feel like it's given us an opportunity to give back

242
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: in some unique ways. So we're doing a community jamboree

243
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: on August seven, and the idea here is just to

244
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: connect people in the community with resources that exist around them.

245
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have several church groups, there, several

246
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: community groups. There's going to be free food, there's going

247
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to be church choirs, live music. But it's we want

248
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: people from the community to come out and we know

249
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: they have a variety of needs and we want them

250
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: to just be aware and educated as far as what's

251
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: out there for them, especially the people of Providence. It's

252
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: a community that's very dear to our near and dear

253
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: to our family. So look, it's it's a time to

254
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: celebrate community, to connect with resources, and just to be

255
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: together again. I think the last year when you had

256
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: community stripped away from you, you realize that we really

257
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: are better when we're together and we're doing things together,

258
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: we're serving together, we're working together towards common goals. So

259
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: we're just hoping to spark that connection again, give the

260
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: people some resources. You know, have a good time to

261
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: be a great event. Good luck with it. Thank you,

262
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: Thanks Mite, Matthew, thank you very much. Thanks one
