00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: pleasure to be joined here on the Colt Show by

Speaker 1: How are you great? Appreciate you hopping on here.

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: I want to start off with some of the stuff

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: you've done off the field. There are some earthquakes back

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: in the Philippines recently. What did you do to kind

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: of support a community that means so much to you

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: back home?

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: Yeah?

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Really with other natural disasters and especially it's always typhoons

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: out there and earthquakes, and recently there's been a few

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: bad earthquakes. So really, through my foundation, we just try

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: and figure out and assess the needs of our community

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: out there and see and really just ask.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: What do you guys need?

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: And we, thankfully we have a great team of people

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: out there through our church out there that really go

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: around and seeing what people need. So we've been able

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: to provide, you know, the immediate goods that they need, food,

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: clean water, certain things like flashlights, like things that you

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 3: may not always think you need. Then from then on

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: then we work to build the community back up and

48
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: get them back on their feet, and then sustain them

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: once they are on their feet again. So it's always

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: a great opportunity to be able to help. But it's

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: also sad that, you know, those type of things happen

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: with the natural disasters. But it's a blessing that we're

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: able to do things and have that reach overseas and

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: especially in my home country, the Philippines.

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I mean to be able to

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: have that impact, right, you know, in your home country,

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: in in that community. You know, what does that mean

58
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: to you to be able to do that, to be

59
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: able to give back to people who need it.

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just gives me a sense of something else

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: to work for, more than just trying to get things

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: for myself.

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: You know, everything's cool.

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: To be able to ball out, have fun and you

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: know you're working to you know, take care of your family.

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: But it's it's a certain it's a different type of

67
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: blessing being able to work to sustain other people that

68
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: met some people that you don't know, for a community

69
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: that you don't know them personally, but you know, they

70
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: support me, so I want to do everything in my

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: power to be able to, you know, create opportunities for people,

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 3: help people in need, and especially back in the Philippines

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: when you know, we don't have a lot of professional

74
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: athletes that are coming out of there. There's a select few,

75
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: a good amount in the NFL, a lot of people

76
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: coming up, but especially just overall in the Philippines, we

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of big time athletes and people

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: like manupac Ya. Yeah, like he's one of my biggest inspirations,

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: but he did being the best boxer of all time

80
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: in my opinion, and being able to, you know, just

81
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: bring everything that he made, all the money, all the

82
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: you know, the popularity. He brought everything back to God

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: and back to the country.

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: We talked about this a little bit when you were

85
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: on the pod in the summer, but you trained with Pakia.

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did talk about that, and.

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: I love that. The thing about the body blows. Never

88
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: get beat by a body blow. I've thought about that

89
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a lot, just in like every part of life, of

90
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: like prepared, you can be ready for this exactly, and

91
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: if you're not prepared, that's when you can beep out

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: of body blow.

93
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: I love that, right, and that's something that stood with

94
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: me from you know, watching him as a kid, but

95
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: then able to train and hear it from him off

96
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: like your preparation is up to you, and that that

97
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: carried me through this season and that's why you know,

98
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm working hard to be able to do

99
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: so many things, but the preparation is really what makes

100
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: everything possible to doing well on the field. If I

101
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: do well in the field, that means I can do

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: more for other people off the field, and that's why

103
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: I play football.

104
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: That's really cool. Okay, So do you watch football on

105
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: TV like I do? Okay, I do. You can't see safeties?

106
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I know, I mean like that's that's a little flaw

107
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: on the TV copy.

108
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: I know it's I don't know why they don't zoom

109
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: out just a few more yards so they could see me.

110
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: But I might have to start stop lining up so deep.

111
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: But my deep alignment helps me out when I'm on

112
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: the field because safety is a different position where you

113
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: need to be able to see the entire field, and

114
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: that's why on TV it's hard to see me unfortunately.

115
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: So that's why I always have my helmet off and

116
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: I have to you know, get the select you know

117
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: time on TV, you.

118
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Get to touch you know, the turnover down.

119
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, show us some face and take advantage of the

120
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: rare times.

121
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: I am on TV.

122
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: What is something that people don't understand about playing safety?

123
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: And maybe specifically to this defense, lose defense. You also

124
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: played for Brian Flores, who does a lot of stuff

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: with rotations and disguises and all that, But maybe something

126
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: about playing safety that you can't really understand if you're

127
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: just watching TV.

128
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: I think that you're the quarterback of the defense, and

129
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: that's a common phrase like, yeah, everybody knows that's the thing.

130
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: But for safeties, we're in charge of making every single call.

131
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: You know, the linebacker gets gets the call through the

132
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: mic and the helmet. But as a safety, once we

133
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: get the play call, we have to look at the

134
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: formation and we have to make certain calls based off

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: of how they line up. If one guy moves, we

136
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: check a whole different play. And depending on what players,

137
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: we can have four different plays up. And if they

138
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: lined up in a certain way, I have to call

139
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: one thing. They move a guy, I have to call

140
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: another thing, and all those things the mental part of it.

141
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: But then the physical part of playing safety is I'm

142
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: the last line of defense. And I don't know if

143
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: people understand that every single tackle we make as safeties

144
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: is either game saving or game losing tackle. And that's

145
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: something that not a lot of people understand. Is like

146
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 3: our tackles were coming from fifteen twenty yards deep. Running

147
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: back has a full head of steam, is wide open,

148
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: angle is not perfect. From the my first step out

149
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: of my angle, out of my break, it'll make or

150
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: break that play.

151
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: And I think not a lot of people.

152
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: Understand that and see how difficult the position is. But

153
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: I take pride in being able to play a tough position.

154
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: And it's funny when I talk to corners, I'm like,

155
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: I would not want to do your guys' job. You

156
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: guys have to cover everybody, And they're like, I don't want.

157
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: To do your job.

158
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: You have to communicate too much and you have to

159
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: make harder tackles.

160
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, then we both respect each

161
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: other jobs. So it's cool.

162
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: You played in Minnesota, you play here now, two really

163
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: good atmospheres on game day? How do you communicate when

164
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: it's that wowed? I mean, like you're you're all the

165
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: way back there at deep safety. How are you communicating

166
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: when Lucas Oil Stadium is getting raucus on third down?

167
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: I would say eye contact, okay, and preparation knowing what

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: I expect, that he knows what he's supposed to do

169
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: when we see a certain look and he expects that

170
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: I know. So it's really if we're if I'm yelling

171
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: something at somebody, no way they're gonna hear me say something,

172
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: especially on third down when the stadium's jumping.

173
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: So it's always that little eye contact of like.

174
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: You understand what I'm saying, that hand signals, But you

175
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: have to have to be real subtle at the hand

176
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: signals because you know everything's on film nowadays, so you

177
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: can't really give everything to the other team like that.

178
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: But I'd say the biggest thing is like the preparation

179
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: through the week, knowing, Okay, if we get this play call,

180
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: you have to know what I'm about to tell you.

181
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: And really I'm just giving you like a head and

182
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: nod like we got it, Like you know what to

183
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: do and we're good.

184
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: What did you learn about that from Harrison Smith? Who, like, so,

185
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: my first job out of college was covering Notre Dame.

186
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: I got Harrison for a year at Notre Dame, and

187
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: it was like veryzy, very plain for me to see

188
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, as like a twenty two year old,

189
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: that guy's amazing at football. You got to play with

190
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: him for four years. What did you pick up with

191
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: him in Minnesota? And how has that helped you here?

192
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: Just how smart he was.

193
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: And that's one thing that I carried in my career

194
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: realizing like not everybody approaches the game like he does.

195
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: And I see why he's different because he looked at

196
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: it like such a scientific game, Like you know certain formations.

197
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: If this guy's cut too close to the line of scrimmage,

198
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: he can't run a pass there because there's too much traffic,

199
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: widens out by two yards, then I know it's a pass.

200
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: Every day, I'm not even gonna walk down.

201
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: Like certain things like that that he taught me, taught

202
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: me and told me earlier in my career, like you

203
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: have to know why people are lining up, So everything

204
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: that he was thinking about, there's a rhyme and reason

205
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: for everything. So everybody talks about his disguises and everything

206
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: and all that I learned. So but the biggest thing

207
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: that I learned from him is like how scientific you

208
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: have to take the game and how simple the game

209
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: can be when you understand why offenses are doing what

210
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: they're doing, because everybody's in a certain spot for a

211
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: certain reason. And that's what I learned from him, and

212
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: that that football IQs carried me to where I am now.

213
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: But then another thing just understanding like how unorthodox you

214
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: can be in football and at the end of the

215
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: day it still be a simple game. You can show

216
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: all the disguises and fake rotations and everything, but we're

217
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: still either going to get back to cover one, cover two,

218
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: cover three, cover four. He said, at the end of

219
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: the day, we can make anything look like anything, but

220
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: football is going to fall into one of those four

221
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: coverages or man coverage. So I learned that from him,

222
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: and it was it made everything like be so much

223
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: more simple.

224
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: For me when you're when you're walked up to the line,

225
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: which you have been you know, decent about this here.

226
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: I know obviously Minnesota did kind of the same stuff.

227
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: Right.

228
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: You're talking about like receivers maybe giving away tells based

229
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: on where they're lined up. How do you you not

230
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: give away what the actual call is when you're one

231
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: of seven walked up on the line of scrimmage.

232
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: I would say timing, you got another shot clock when

233
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: the quarterback is gonna try and do a hard count

234
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: to get you to walk out, show okay, he's actually

235
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: not blitzing. You have to It's like a little chess

236
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: match with the quarterback, and especially going against experienced quarterbacks,

237
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: it's a little harder because sometimes a quick snap it.

238
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: But you have to know, like I need to do

239
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: enough to get my job done. I can't show the

240
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: blitz too hard and not be able to get back

241
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,359
Speaker 3: to my deep coverage or back to my man coverage.

242
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: So it's that little game of how much can I

243
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 3: get away with but also how the screet can I be?

244
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: So it's always a cool little challenge. It's like a

245
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: battle with the quarterback, like you're making eye contact with him.

246
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: He's looking at you waiting for you to move. It's

247
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: like a game of chicken, like I'm not gonna move first.

248
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: You gotta either snap the ball and I'll get out,

249
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: or I'm gonna blitz.

250
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: You're not gonna know.

251
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: So it's always that cool challenge of how much how

252
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: close can I get to showing like this is a

253
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: blitz or if it's not.

254
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: I know you never played against him, But I was

255
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: just having this conversation with Jack Doyle the other day

256
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers in like the COVID year when Philip

257
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: would call guys out. I remember was Rokwan Smith with

258
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: the face he would call him out and be like,

259
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: fifty eight's not coming, and you know Rocon would yeah,

260
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean no you're not. Then snap the ball and

261
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: Rocan would go bail. You know, it's just like that

262
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: type of stuff. Yeah, you know those quarterbacks might know.

263
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: With Daniel you were with him last year for a

264
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: little bit in Minnesota, right, I know he's maybe running

265
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: scout team, he's maybe not doing all the checks and stuff,

266
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: but like, did you pick up on like, hey, this

267
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: guy's really he's got some like high football intelligence and

268
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit something to him. When you

269
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: were with him for those couple of weeks in Minnesota.

270
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: I always knew he was intelligent, So that wasn't a

271
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: surprise to me when he was out there and going

272
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: against him when he was on the scout team. But

273
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: the biggest thing was like how competitive and how serious

274
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: he took those scout team reps. And that's why this

275
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: season is like no surprise for me. Like when he came,

276
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: when he signed here in Indy, I'm like, okay, like

277
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: he's it makes sense because he's gonna take everything serious.

278
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: And I saw the preparation last year in Minnesota being

279
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: with him. I think it was just cool that he

280
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: came out there on scout team and I remember like

281
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: one of the first first few days he was out

282
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: there carving himself on defense and we're like, oh, we're

283
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: getting game reps here on scout team. It's rare that

284
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: you get a quarterback that's, you know, a super veteran

285
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: guy had his big contract, beat us in the playoffs

286
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: a few years back, right, yeah, knocked us out of

287
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: the playoffs. And being able to go against that every

288
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: day on scout team he got us ready. And I

289
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: think he was a big part of why we had

290
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: a really good season on defense in Minnesota because I

291
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: was going against Daniel Jones, obviously one of the best

292
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the league right now on scout team, so

293
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 3: we got to see that every single day.

294
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: So it's cool.

295
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: You've had an up close view now of kind of

296
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: these two shining examples of quarterbacks who have been given

297
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: second chances and have thrived in them. With Sam Darnold

298
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: last year, now Daniel Jones this year. Is there any

299
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: similarity between those two guys just in general about how

300
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: they're doing this?

301
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: I say, the way they approached the game.

302
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: That's something I saw, like I said, from from Daniel

303
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: last year being on scout team, then also with Sam and.

304
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: When they moved on.

305
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: There's it was no surprise to me, like I said,

306
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: with Daniel or with Sam, because I saw the way

307
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: they prepared last year, and even for me going against

308
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: Sam in college, like I always.

309
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: Knew that's right. Yeah, hell yeah.

310
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: He was a competitor. He was throwing the ball like

311
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: extremely well.

312
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: So all those things added up to me, like always

313
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: having a respect for those guys. So like now when

314
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: they're having the success, it's really no surprise. But I

315
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: think they just prepared like insanely well and took the

316
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 3: game super serious.

317
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: All right, Speaking of USC, So you played high school

318
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: seven on seven against Michael Pittman junior.

319
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: Yes, he went to Oaks Christian. I went to Centennial

320
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: battlef the Beach. So that's that was it. The one

321
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: tournament all the high schools go to and I remember

322
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: he lost me one player, and yeah, that's probably what

323
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna get to.

324
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: But you did say you're talking about this after the

325
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: game against the Titans, that you got him back and

326
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: he won the game.

327
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I got him back. Later in the game,

328
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: they tried another fade ball of me.

329
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: I got a PVU. I think my mom's size of video.

330
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: I have to find it.

331
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: But those are little matchups that I've had since, you know,

332
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: growing up in southern California, there's so much, so many

333
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: NFL guys that I was going against in high school. Pittman, Amara,

334
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: Saint Brown, all these dudes I'm going against on the weekends,

335
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: doing one on ones on the weekends at the park. Like,

336
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: these are all dudes that we grew up with competing,

337
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: so it's always fun to be able to go against

338
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: them in high school and college. Now being teammates with

339
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: Pitt and another like crazy thing, Like I'm not surprised

340
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: by his success because that's all the work he put in.

341
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: He's been the same size since high school. That's why

342
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: he was just literally no exaggeration.

343
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: So it was always cool being able to see these

344
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: guys like grow up into their role now and being

345
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: teammates will pit and see what he's doing now too.

346
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, a couple of your teammates

347
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: who are having really really strong years Kenny Moore the second,

348
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. I know you had a little bit of

349
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: a relationship with Kenny before getting here, But with Nick,

350
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: what is maybe stood out to you about the way

351
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: that he plays in the way that he because I

352
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: had him on the pod a couple of weeks ago

353
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and he'd talked so much about his process. Yeah, and

354
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: he seems like a guy who like he's never gonna

355
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: get beat by a body blow.

356
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: Right for sure. Yeah, he prepares really well. But the

357
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: biggest thing with Nick is that he's really versatile. He

358
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: can do a lot of different things, and he can

359
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: be able to play in the box, play man coverage,

360
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: play in the deep zones, and a really good blitzer too.

361
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: We saw that his couple maybe a few sacks on

362
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: a year, a bunch of TFLs, seems like he has

363
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: a big hit in the back for it every week.

364
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: So I think his biggest thing is won his preparation

365
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: and how versatile he is. He can be down there

366
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: in the box, but also be able to play man,

367
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: so a lot of respect for him than also with Kenny,

368
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: just the history that he's had in this league in

369
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: a baller, It's cool being teammates with those guys and

370
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: being able to have them elevate my game to playing

371
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: playing with them.

372
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: All Right, I want to get you out of here

373
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: on this. We talked at the start about you know,

374
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: you helping out in the Philippines and doing stuff back there.

375
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: This this POD's coming out five days before the Colts

376
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: play in Berlin. Okay, what what do you just appreciate

377
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: about the opportunity to kind of take this game on

378
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: an international stage?

379
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: Right?

380
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: I think this game is the best game, best sport

381
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: in the world. So I'm jealous of other sports that

382
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: are so famous worldwide. So I think it's a great

383
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: thing that the NFL is doing, having these international games

384
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: and being able to bring this game to introduce to

385
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: people that didn't grow up playing it, or just people

386
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: that grew up only able to be able to watch.

387
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: It on TV.

388
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: So just being able to play now in Brazil, they

389
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: have Mexico games all throughout Europe, and just it becoming

390
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: a worldwide game. It's the best thing ever and I

391
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: think it'll keep growing and hopefully we have a game

392
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: in the Philippines, gonna say.

393
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Asia, anywhere in Asia that'd be super cool.

394
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: So I know the game will keep growing, and I

395
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: think the world deserves to half football.

396
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Love that. Love that from cal Safety number zero cambining them.

397
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me here on the podcast. All right,

398
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,320

00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: here in the comments of the YouTube version of this episode.

403
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: I've been saving this question for a little while because

404
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: it's now a timely question. It comes from Mark Beaton

405
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: from Newcastle, England. Mark was in attendance for our game

406
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: in Frankfurt two years ago against the Patriots. He'll be

407
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: back in Berlin, Mark, come say hi. I'll be at

408
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: the DOS Center hosting stuff Thursday, Friday Saturday in Berlin.

409
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: All right.

410
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Mark's question though, uh, and it was a long one,

411
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: so I kind of condensed it a bit. But he

412
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: asks a lot of the current roster and coaching staff

413
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: were with the team for the Frankfurt game, and with

414
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: it being quite recent, I'm wondering if the players or

415
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: coaches have a different attitude toward travel have been taken

416
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: part in an international game just a couple of seasons ago,

417
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: and the level of recent experience and knowing what to spect,

418
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: is it maybe a little bit more fun in this case?

419
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Mark also asks similarly, I wonder if there's a different

420
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: approach on the part of the back room teams in

421
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: terms of planning and logistics. I love this back room

422
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: like you're thinking about, like you know, your Premier League

423
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: backroom dealings that would be your front office, as we

424
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: say here in the United States. Mark asks, have there

425
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: been lessons learned and adjustments made to maybe make things

426
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: go a little bit smoother for the team. I know

427
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: some teams like to travel late and train stateside, so

428
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: practice in the US before traveling, while others like to

429
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: get there early. So be interesting to get some insight

430
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: on this. Okay, So a couple of really good questions

431
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: from Mark. I think the first part of it is

432
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit more fun. I do think

433
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: for everyone else this is this is a cool opportunity,

434
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: right Like for me, this is gonna be awesome I'm

435
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: gonna get to do the PA announcing at Olympic Stadium

436
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: in Berlin. An awe like an incredible opportunity for me

437
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: when I'm deeply humbled by to be able to do

438
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: for our game on Sunday against the Falcons in such

439
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: a historic venue. You know, for traveling staff, certainly for fans,

440
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: whether you're in Germany, you're in Europe, you're from anywhere

441
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: in the world. You're coming state side, you're maybe an

442
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: American Colts fan who lives in Berlin or in Germany

443
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: who's coming down for the game, it's gonna be really cool.

444
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: But for players and coaches and traveling staff, it's about

445
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: winning on Sunday. It's about beating the Falcons. This isn't

446
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: necessarily a trip that you're like, you know, I can't

447
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: wait to go sight seeing around Berlin and get into

448
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the history of it and you know, experience the culture.

449
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: You do have to treat it like it's ay, we're

450
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: here to win this football game. Because it's seven and two,

451
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: coming off the loss to the Steelers on Sunday, you

452
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: got a great opportunity to go into the bye week

453
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: at eight and two, and you gotta be focused you

454
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: cannot lose focus of what this trip is about for

455
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: the team, and that is beating the Atlanta Falcons. So

456
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: the culture go over Thursday night, they're landing Friday. It

457
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: sounds like a quick walkthrough on Friday later in the day,

458
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and then Saturday you have your usual Saturday meetings, your

459
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: kind of final walk through, your final adjustments. They'll be

460
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more free time on Saturday than a

461
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: typical road game, just because you're going to be already there.

462
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: Usually the Colts travel for road games on Saturday, they

463
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: arrive in their city they're playing in, they have some meetings, guys,

464
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: maybe get a couple hours of free time, not a

465
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: whole lot, and then you're right back for final meetings,

466
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: bead check all that. So for this there is maybe

467
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more downtime just because the Colts are

468
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: doing that. But what the Cults are doing. The point

469
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: of this is what the Coults are doing, traveling Thursday,

470
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: getting their Friday, having a little walkthrough. That's what most

471
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: teams do when they travel to play abroad, at least

472
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: teams from I would say probably the Eastern and Central

473
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: time zones. Usually when they go to Europe, it's that

474
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night travel and then try to do as much

475
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: of your work as possible. Kind of like Mark mentioned,

476
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: you do as much of your work as possible at

477
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: your home facility before getting on a plane going overseas

478
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: and playing this game. Some teams when you're on the

479
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: West Coast will do things differently. The La Rams when

480
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: they played the Jaguars in London, they played a road

481
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: game in Baltimore. They then stayed in Baltimore, they practiced

482
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: at Camden Yards, and then they flew to London on Saturday.

483
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't remember a team doing the Saturday flight over

484
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: to London. It worked out great. The Rams beat up

485
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars in that game. So I do think

486
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: what the culture doing has become kind of standard. The

487
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: league has now over a decade of data on maybe

488
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: the best practices for this. I think early on, when

489
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: they're kind of starting to do these international things, some

490
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: teams would go over for the whole week. Even some

491
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: West Coast teams would go over for the whole week.

492
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing more teams now say we're just

493
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna go over almost as late as possible to get

494
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: as much of our work done in the us and

495
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: ideally at our home facility as we possibly can get

496
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: because again, it's about winning the game. It's about beating

497
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: the Falcons on Sunday. And for me, I am thrilled

498
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: to meet with all of our great fans who have

499
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: already reached out to me who are based in Europe.

500
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: Shout out to I mean literally everyone who's reached out.

501
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you guys. Maybe raise a

502
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: pint at Dos Center after I'm done m seeing stuff

503
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: Thursday Friday night, I'd love to meet up with you.

504
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Love to see you guys. If you are in Berlin,

505
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: please come say hi, Please please come say hi. I

506
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: really can't wait to get there. I love Berlin. We

507
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: did a podcast back in the spring where I had

508
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: a chance to sit with Colts Director of Football Operations

509
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Milany Low at Olympic Stadium. We talked about a lot

510
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: of the logistics you have to go through. You can

511
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: go catch that episode on YouTube on where you know,

512
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. That was from April believe

513
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: when we ran that. So there's a lot that goes

514
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: into this. Again, I'm really excited for it. But for

515
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: the team, again, it's about beating the Falcons and whatever

516
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: else you do around Berlin will kind of come secondary

517
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: to that. All right, great question from Mark from Newcastle.
