00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: What's the Broncos Country. Welcome back to the Broncos podcast,

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: networking and YouTube. For the latest edition of Broncos Now,

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: I'm your host Sidney Jones, and for today's episode, I

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: am standing here in London outside of Wembley Stadium. So

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: coming up, we'll hear from head coach Nathaniel Hackett, quarterback

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in safety at Justin Simmons as they spoke

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: to the media after practice at the Parol School in London.

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: I'll also have the latest injury report and I sat

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: down with Broncos team president to Money Leach. All that

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: more coming up. Following the team's arrival yesterday, the players

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: were back out on the field for their first practice

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: in London on Wednesday. We heard from head coach Nathaniel

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: Hackett after practice and he discussed the travel out here.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: In his previous experience here in London, they really wanted

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: to get out here early. Obviously. It's an amazing experience

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: to be out here in another country. And uh so

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: they've done a great job up to this point, been

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: on time for everything, really enjoying and embracing it, and

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: just even to travel out here and everything. I thought

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: the guys had a lot of pep in their step today,

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: which was great to see. This is my fifth time

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: doing this coming out here, and I've enjoyed it every

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: single time, and we've done in different ways. We've done

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: it when we come out on Thursday or fly Thursday,

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: get in on Friday. And then I wanted to try

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: this one out. I think the guys really were excited

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: about being here in the climate, getting their bodies acclimated

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: and uh enjoying the scenery, enjoying the experience, so we

29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: wanted to be sure we gave him that. Russell Wilson

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: also talked about the flight here and what he did

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: to stay busy at during those eight hours. I don't

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: really get jet leg too often, you know, I don't.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: I don't really um, you know, I've traveled enough to

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: to get you know, kind of get my system down.

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, for me, I was on the plane first

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: two hours. I was the first two hours. It was

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: eight hours flight here. The first two hours I was

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: watching the film, getting watching all the cutups and everything else.

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: And then for the next four hours I was doing

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: treatment on the plane. I was walking up and down

41
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the aisles. Everybody was knocked out. I was doing high

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: knees and working on working on my legs and everything else,

43
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, make sure I'm ready to rock. So that

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: was good. And then the last two hours of the

45
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: last hour of that I watched I fell asleep for

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: one hour and then I watched the film the rest

47
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: so I felt it felt good to go. Once we

48
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: got back and then we had you know, coach did

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: a great job. We um Coach land down on the

50
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: whole coaching staff. They had us um do a little movement,

51
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: so we got here, a little movement, got I did

52
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: my pool workout, did all that and then uh, I

53
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe rested for about two or three

54
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: hours once I got home. And I feel great. Coach

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I could also gave an update on at Russell and

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: said that he's trending in the right direction to play

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday and that he did quite a bit of

58
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: work today at practice. Russell then commented on how he's

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: feeling this week compared to last Yeah, I mean I

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: feel great, ready to ready to roll. Um, you know,

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: super locked in and ready to hopefully get a big

62
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: win in London. Obviously, Uh, this would be a key

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: game for US. A really good football team we're playing.

64
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I think both of our records don't necessarily represent who

65
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: we are, and uh so I think that there's gonna

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of great football. It would be cool

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: to play back in London again. I remember the last

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: time I got to play here. It was pretty special.

69
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: So um, you know, the environment is amazing, you know,

70
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: it's world class. So um, I'm excited to get rolling.

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: We had a good practice today. Guys have been focused.

72
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: We had a great team dinner last night. Guys are

73
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: really bonded and connected, so we're ready to rock. The

74
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: team hads into Sunday's matchup Verse The Jags on a

75
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: four game losing streak and has received a ton of

76
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: criticism in recent weeks. Russell Wilson spoke on that and

77
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: how he's drowning out the noise. You know, I've been

78
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: trying to just stay focused on our team and focus

79
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: on on us getting better at a collective group and

80
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: not worrying about the outside noise, because the thing is

81
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: that we can control the outside noise by how we play.

82
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: And that's for everybody. That's that's started with me, starting

83
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: with everybody across the team. UM our coaches that everybody all,

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: we're all in it. It's this thing together and we

85
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: know that and we're excited about that because we feel

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: like that's something that we can control, even though as

87
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: hard as it's been, and it hasn't been exactly what

88
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: we've wanted to be. Um, you know, storms don't always last,

89
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: and uh, you know this one's not going to last

90
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: because we're gonna work, work our tails off and work

91
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: through it and we're gonna be We're gonna try to

92
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: be the best week can possibly. I think coach hack

93
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: is a tremendous coach. Um he's worked just butt off,

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: same the rest of the coaching staff, and there's us

95
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: players are working on a butts off. It's just hasn't

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: come come to fruishing yet how we've wanted to as

97
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: a collective group. And uh, like I said, Um, you

98
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: know it starts with one day at a prep, one

99
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: day at a time. You know, you can't build everything

100
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: in one day. You just gotta you gotta make it

101
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: happen today and make one thing, one moment at a time.

102
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: We heard Justin Simmons say a few weeks ago that

103
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers game was a must win. But this game

104
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: here at Wembley Stadium on Sunday is even more important.

105
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: You know, I've said it a few times. Um, I

106
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: know I said it. Uh you know Chargers week, you

107
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: know we were heading to to to l A for

108
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, the Monday night game. Um is a must win.

109
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: But um, I mean this, this one's the biggest game.

110
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: But I mean by far, Um, you know, a chance

111
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: for us to to get a win heading into the

112
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: by um, you know, hopefully get some guys back. Um.

113
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: You know that that are kind of banged up and injured. Um,

114
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: get them back healthy and and you know, make a

115
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: late run here, you know, at the latter half of

116
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: this season. Um, you know, to give ourselves a fighting

117
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: chance to get into the playoffs and so um, but

118
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: all that starts with this game, you know, on on

119
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and finding a way to win. Um, gotta walk

120
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: out of that stadium and wimbley with a win. Simmons

121
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: also talked about the threat that Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence

122
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: poses this weekend. Yeah, he looks he looks way more

123
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: confident in year two. Um. You know they offensively, they

124
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: do such a good job of of getting explosives and

125
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: I think they've been averaging like four hundred yards UM

126
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: per game you know, the last few games. Um, you know,

127
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: it's just not uh not necessarily easy to do, you know,

128
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: and they go go up. They've gone up against a

129
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: lot of great defenses, I think, Um, you know, the

130
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: the Texans, you know most recently, they're they're like a

131
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: top you know whatever defense in this league. And um,

132
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, so that you could see that they're being

133
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: challenged a weekend and week out from an offensive standpoint,

134
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: So we have our work cut out for US. UM.

135
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, Etn is a great runner. Um, they do

136
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: a good job of finding ways to get him the

137
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: ball in space. UM. I mean they're their weapons at

138
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: at tied end and receiver. It's just like a never

139
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: ending cycle. Um. You know, they do good job with screens. Um,

140
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: they do good job with the r p O s.

141
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: And I think what makes their offense really, you know,

142
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: really go is is Trevor right and the fact that

143
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: he can he can pick apart to defense, see see

144
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: what he likes, see what he doesn't like, get the

145
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands pretty fast and just get

146
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the ball to his playmakers. And so uh defensively for US,

147
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: man you know, from from top down, from you know, covering,

148
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: giving our guys a chance up front to get to

149
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback to get some sacks, um, you know, to

150
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: stopping the run up front, you know, to put them

151
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: in passing situations where we can kind of get after

152
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Um. You know, those are obviously

153
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: some of our goals, but um, I think they're doing

154
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: a great job. And as we wrap up the top

155
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: news of the day, let's take a look at the

Speaker 1: and defensive lineman Mike Purcell all did not part anticipate today,

159
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: while quarterback Russell Wilson an inside linebacker Josie Jewel were limited.

160
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Quarterback Kawan Williams was a full participant and earlier today,

161
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity of sitting down with a Broncos

162
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: team president, de Monty Leech as he discussed the importance

163
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: of playing in an international game. We're sitting down with

164
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: a Broncos team president, Demani Leach here in London to

165
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: money first and foremost, how excited is the organization to

166
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: be here in London this week and to be playing

167
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: in an international game on Sunday. Yeah, no, it's it's

168
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: incredibly exciting. It's great to represent the league. Um. You know,

169
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: playing internationally is an important league initiative and so for

170
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: us to sort of have our turn to do that,

171
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: um and to play internationally is great. It's just such

172
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: a great way to grow fans for the league, but

173
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: also for our team. Trying to grow fans internationally is

174
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: incredibly important. Yeah. What are some of the events the

175
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: team has planned this week while in London? Yeah, so

176
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: so certainly on the team side, I think, you know,

177
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a normal week. You know, they're getting work in. Um.

178
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: You know, they get a chance to you know, explore

179
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: and do some sightseeing and get a little dinner here

180
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: and there. But you know, we also bring out out

181
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: a number of our partners with us, and so this

182
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: is a great experience for them. You know that a

183
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: few of them got to fly on the team plane. Um.

184
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, they're staying in the hotel with us and

185
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: they're out right now actually doing a lot of sight

186
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: seeing and things like that. You know, from a logistics standpoint,

187
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: what is it like executing a big trip like this operationally,

188
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, to some extent it is it's like an

189
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: away game, um, But definitely we're here for a longer

190
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: period of time. I think I saw something like, you know,

191
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty pounds of equipment we brought with us. Um. You know,

192
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: some of it we had to put on a boat

193
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and ship out number of weeks ahead of time. UM.

194
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: So it's the same, but it's different in a lot

195
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: of important ways. And that's why I think getting out

196
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: here earlier it is probably smart as far as just

197
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: getting your body acclimated and getting adjusted to sleep schedules.

198
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: Considering your background in the league, what is the importance

199
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: of playing in an international game? And can kind of

200
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: talk about some of the strides the league has taken

201
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: in recent years in that regard. Yeah, certainly, I mean

202
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: this was this was my job in my in my

203
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: previous role, and you know, the league is in a

204
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: very strong position in the United States, certainly, Um, But

205
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: when we look at our ability to grow internationally, really

206
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: putting our teams and our players out front and giving

207
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: people an opportunity to connect authentically is incredibly important, and

208
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: so playing games in different markets. We've been doing it,

209
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: particularly regular season games. We started I think two thousand

210
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: five in Mexico City and I just started to play

211
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: more and more games and let's fans connect with us,

212
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's really special. Well, den As you know,

213
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos have secured their h m A in Mexico

214
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: and obviously we're here playing in London this week. What

215
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: type of priority does this team have in some of

216
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: these you know, initiative international initiatives that were involved in. Yeah, yeah,

217
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: so certainly, obviously our fan base in Denver and Colorado

218
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: is incredibly important to us. But when we talk about

219
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Broncos country, that's global, it's borderless, and so we know

220
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: we have a tremendous fan base in Mexico. That's our

221
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: our number one priority in terms of growing international fans,

222
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: but also just being around here. I think our players

223
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: have seen it. I knew it already. Um, but there's

224
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: a number not just the NFL fans, but Broncos fans

225
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: here in this community. We're gonna have you know, fan

226
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: meet ups at a pub later on this week, and

227
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: we've got over you know, twenty thousand fans on Facebook

228
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: who are Broncos fans and so we know we have

229
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a significant fan base here, so it's gonna be really

230
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: exciting to see them connect with us throughout the weekend.

231
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: We will be excited to see them at when we

232

239
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: over email, text, phone, very engaged and um, you know

240
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,480

242
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: has all been really good. And you just touched on it.

243
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,360

248
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: in l A which was it was great to spend

249
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: the time with him on the side sidelines and I

250
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: think for him, you know, being that close to the

251
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: action and seeing how big the players are, how fast

252
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: they move. Um, but they're just you know, they're incredible

253
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,720

263
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640
