00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: In awesome? Spirited practice? I spirited is the only word

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: you ever used for practice? Right, spirited practice? It was

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: really good to see justin Fields. That was kind of

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: a surprise. Get out there and throw the ball around

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: a little bit, really good and then had a good

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: talk with ag and can't ask for anything more.

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: You are a national correspondent. Where were you when you

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: heard about the news that Fields had gone off? Was

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: being looked at in the medical tent, was carted off

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: the field.

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: I was.

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: I was home and doing what reporters do when they're

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: home and trying to find out what's going on right

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: on Twitter, right, and so I saw the first you know,

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: from your beat writers, like Justin Fields just pulled up.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 4: Justin Fields is being looked at.

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is going off on a cart, and I

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 3: was just like, oh my god. But then I'm sorry.

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 3: Very quickly it became clear. I thought, it became clear

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: that it was not a dire situation because they somebody noted,

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: I can't remember who that he was writing in the

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: front of the cart, and that's not usually what happens

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: when something very bad has happened. They're usually riding on

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: the back of the cart with the trainer. And then

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: fortunately we got the news. But for that first hour

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: or however much time that lap, it's like I was

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: getting texts from friends who were Jets fans.

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: Were like, what you know, what happened? And who's the

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: backup quarterback?

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: You know, people freaked out, as you well know, they

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: a lot of bad memories came flooding back.

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: It was the final team rep in the first period

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday. So it's the second practice and we're basically

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: recapping the first four days of practice right now with you.

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: He throws an incomplete pass to Mason Tyler, great covers

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: by Quincy Williams, So the play looks rather innocent. Then

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you see him head to the sideline where he's favorably

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the favoring the right leg limping, put him in the cart,

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: had out, get the medical evaluation, and then a couple of

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: hours later the team releases the following information that this

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: located toe. They're going to manage it day to day.

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: Not bad.

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's Saturday, it comes, number seven is on

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, speaking of number seven, seven on seven,

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Baldon touched the grounds.

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: I thought, first of all, I thought, even if before

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: we knew that he was actually going to be in

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: the seven on seven, like during the warm ups when

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: they were stretching and everything, like he was bouncing around

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: on the right like alternating feet bouncing, and I was like, well,

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's putting weight on it. Obviously

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 3: he's moving fine, like he's moving without any he doesn't

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: look like he's favoring it. So that was encouraging just

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: to see that that he was could do all of that.

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: And then you know he was thrown on the side

68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: for a little bit and then he did the seven

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: on seven and that's great.

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Now.

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: We talked to Aaron Glenn after the practice and he said,

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: you know, they still want to bring him along slowly.

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: They do not want to overdo anything. Because I said, like, well,

74
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: does this mean he's going to be full go?

75
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: Now?

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: When you got the day off front and then you

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: come back and you're in pads, is he full go?

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: And he's like, well, you know, we still want to

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: ease him back. They want to make sure when he's

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: out there, he's really ready to go like that, Why

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: why do anything that could aggravate an injury that doesn't

82
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: need to be aggravated.

83
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: You're still weeks and weeks and weeks away.

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: You want him to be Okay, we're in July, and

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: I still think we're in July, right. It come Monday, right,

86
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: So he's two days practice into here, and what we're

87
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: talking about here is that he's already throwing at seven

88
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: and seven.

89
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: He's I mean, I thought today was just such great news.

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: To see him there was just great. But I think

91
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: now AG said he feels fine. AG basically is holding

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: him back. I mean, he wants to be full go.

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: He feels like he could be full go. They are

94
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: holding him back. You know, there's no reason to not

95
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: operate with an abundance of caution when it's July whatever.

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: Today is twenty sixth.

97
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: We've been watching Fields since he entered the NFL in

98
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. This is his third team in three years.

99
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: As far as the situation here with the Jets, what

100
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: do you make of it?

101
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: I think it's probably the best situation he's going to

102
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: have been in. Look the situation last year and the

103
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: Steelers is good. The Steelers are a good team and

104
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: well coached, but Russell Wilson was also on the team,

105
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: and so you always knew that they knew from the

106
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: beginning they wanted Russell Wilson to be the starter. Like

107
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin was clear about that from training camp that

108
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: he viewed Russell as the starter, and so you knew

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: that was always there. Even though Justin played well those

110
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: first however six weeks whatever it was, he was playing well.

111
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: They were playing conservatively, but there were fourn too, and

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: he was playing well, so you know, and then they

113
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: made the change because they wanted more aggression, which Russell

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: could give them. So I thought, I thought that situation

115
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: was good for Justin Fields because he had really good

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: players around him. I think this situation is better because

117
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: you have the head coach wants you to be the

118
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: starting quarterback and has an awful lot of confidence that

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 3: he still has not gotten anywhere close to reaching his ceiling,

120
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: like they think like there's all upside for him. They

121
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: love his style of leadership, like they just like the steadiness,

122
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: and so I think this is the best situation because

123
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: they have confidence in him and faith and they're fully

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: behind him, and any player would want that.

125
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: Do you view him as an ascending player like the

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Jets are saying that to your point on tap potential,

127
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: we see a lot here and if you look at

128
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: his numbers, passer rating, completion percentage, turnovers, everything's gotten better

129
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: each of his four seasons.

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: I do view him as an ascending player, and again

131
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: because I don't think he's been in the right situation

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: for him. Certainly not the right situation in Chicago when

133
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: he didn't have the caliber of player and coach around him, right,

134
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 3: he didn't have the appropriate coaching for and I thought

135
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: last year we did see glimpses of what he could be,

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: that he could manage games well and you know, distribute

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: the ball and so now I think this is the

138
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: right setup for him. Again, he's got the confidence of

139
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: the coach and the players. I don't think we can

140
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: emphasize enough having Garrett Wilson a guy they're familiar with.

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm not comparing them to Joe Burrow and Jim R.

142
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: Chase.

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: But like pre existing chemistry goes a long way when

144
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: you're a new quarterback and you're dropping in, like there's

145
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: a learning curve, Well, there's not a learning curve. With

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: the most important receiver on the team, right the superstar

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: wide receiver. You already know where he likes the ball.

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: You already know what his timing is. That goes a

149
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: long way and should give Justin a great deal of

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: comfort that Garrett is out there.

151
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: So in the spring, we talked about it in Palm

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: Beach at the league meetings. You were saying, hey, listen,

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: the time to extend, Yes, Saus Gardner, Garrett Wilson is now.

154
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: And in fact, the Jets come right back before training

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: camp and they lock in their young stars.

156
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: Your reaction great, and I'm glad they did it.

157
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: First of all, it's the right time for the Jets

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: business side, because the price only is going up and

159
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: we have seen that. I don't want to name other teams,

160
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: but we have seen when teams wait to extend their

161
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: premier players, like the price only gets higher.

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't behoove the team to wait. That's for sure.

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: It's great for the player, good for them.

164
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: So certainly, if you identify your young stars, you want

165
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: to lock them in as fast as you possibly can.

166
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: It's great for Garrett Wilson because.

167
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: He has security.

168
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: He knows last year was you know, sort of rocky,

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: up and down. It never seemed to really gel with Aaron.

170
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers, even though he had more than one hundred.

171
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: Receptions right well, because he is a superior talent. I mean,

172
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: if you remember, some of those receptions were just insane.

173
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean I just remember watching some of them.

174
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: People like, haven't we.

175
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: This awesome graphic our team produce this awesome graphic of

176
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: him and the extension and one hander again crazy Houston

177
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: in front of the nation.

178
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: I mean, they are both such good players.

179
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: They're bed rock pieces of the team going forward. And

180
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: for a team that is turning the page and starting

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: a new era. First of all, you want to send

182
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 3: a signal to the locker room like we're going to

183
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 3: take care of our guys. Like, if you're one of

184
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: our guys and you're producing, we're going to take care

185
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: of you. We want you here. It's important to have

186
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: those guys in. It's also important to not have contract distractions.

187
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: And I know people say, oh, no, we tune that out.

188
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: It's not really a distraction. It is a distract. It's

189
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: a distraction if nothing else for those individual players. And

190
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: we've seen that with other teams again where they let

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: contracts linger. The Bengals have had that a number of years.

192
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: It does distract the team. It distracts their teammates because

193
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: they get asked about it and they're thinking, like, are

194
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: we going to have was Garrett Wilson coming in, Like

195
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: is there going to be a holdout?

196
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: This just erased all of that. No hold outs.

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: You go in clean, all the business stuff is taken

198
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: care of, and now it's all ball.

199
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: It's all ball now.

200
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: I really like how they've handled themselves, Darren Mougi and

201
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Glennon, because not only they lock up Sauce and Garrett,

202
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: but they got Jamie Sherwood back at the onset of

203
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: free agency. So they're looking at these young guys and

204
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: say saying, these are talented players and yes, maybe a

205
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: previous regime brought them there.

206
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: But we're going to keep them.

207
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to keep them. We're going to keep

208
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: them in house, and they're going to grow with us,

209
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and they're going to be foundational pieces.

210
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: By the way, Well, I thought it was really important.

211
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: First of all, they've obviously gotten much younger, which I

212
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: think is important anyway, Right, that is the way to

213
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: go in the NFL. And I think to their credit,

214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: as you said, these were pieces that were chosen by

215
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: the previous regime, To their credit, they recognized the talent

216
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 3: there and.

217
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: They said, like, we want these guys to be part

218
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: of the foundation.

219
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: Right.

220
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 3: This is a I don't want to say it's a

221
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: rebuilding team, but it is still a building team and

222
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: you want those pieces there. And again you want it

223
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: taking care of releasa that you don't have to think

224
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: about it anymore.

225
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: They can just playball.

226
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: There's only a handful of players over thirty on this

227
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: roster and coach Gloan addressed the media this week and

228
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: he was asked about AVT Elijah Vera Tucker and he

229
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: said he we look at this guy as a great

230
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: football player, we want him here for the long term

231
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: as well. So interesting financial situations on every team, on

232
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: every roster, so because you got guys like Avt. Brece

233
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Hall just talked to the media today and he said,

234
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I look at this is my last chance. Like so

235
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: that's his mindset entering the season. As far as practice

236
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: is concerned today, what do you think about that one

237
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: on one?

238
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: I loved that.

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: I asked Ag about that till he's at the stage.

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: So we were I don't know how many minutes into

241
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: practice there, but you know, the pads are not on yet, right,

242
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: they're not tackling to the ground that kind of thing,

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: and they well the stage set like the team has

244
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: sort of gathered around in a semi circle, and they

245
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: basically put like a one on one, right, like a

246
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: running back versus the linebacker. And the premiere one, of course,

247
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: was Garrett Wilson versus Sauce Gardner and just have them

248
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: go at it and see can you get now? They

249
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: were not tackling to the ground, but could you tackle?

250
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: And the crowd the defense went nuts when Sauce tackled

251
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson right out in space, out by the boundary.

252
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the defense whoa, you know, and Chase Sauce

253
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: down so highly competitive, very high energy, and I think

254
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 3: you can see the team coming together, right. And I

255
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: asked ag about that driller. He loves that drill.

256
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: He said Detroit did it in Detroit. That's where he

257
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: got it from.

258
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: But he said, like he's right, this is a game

259
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: played in space, Like you have to be able to

260
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: tackle in space. They're going to tackle in training camp,

261
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: they're going to tackle to the ground. You have to

262
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: be able to do this. And you got to see

263
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: it in camp. You've got to You've got to do it.

264
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: They've got to learn how to do it. He is

265
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: all about competition and testing players, stressing players, seeing how

266
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: they react and getting them used to stress and handling it.

267
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 3: Keep saying like this was the third day of practice,

268
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: the fourth day of practice, and tomorrow is.

269
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: The day off.

270
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: And he said this is like his favorite day because

271
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: players are tired, you know, the families are there. This

272
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: is a day where maybe get a little distracted, you

273
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: sort of tail off.

274
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: And he's, yeah, you know, and off days coming up.

275
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: Not interested in tailing off at all. He wants full

276
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: go and so he wants to stress players in that

277
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: and he wants them to react, and he wants them

278
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: to know how to react.

279
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: I love practice like a practice was high energy.

280
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: All right.

281
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: So you are one of two people who are out

282
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: there on the field today who actually cover the Jets

283
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: when Bill Parcells is here cover the Jets when Aaron

284
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: Glenn was a player as well. So when you're watching

285
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: this and you're taking this all in, do you have

286
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: flashbacks and do you see similarities in Glenn not only

287
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: on the field but when you're speaking to him after practice?

288
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no question, no question.

289
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: When he admonished the media yesterday over like you know,

290
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: everybody freaking out over the justin fields injury before we

291
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: knew it was serious.

292
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: I like the way he handled that because he also

293
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: told him listen, I'm going to tell you and tell

294
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: you the truth.

295
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to be ask you yea, I will

296
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: tell you.

297
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to start around it.

298
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: Let me find out.

299
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: Let's go through the medical evaluation. I'll tell you exactly

300
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: what's up.

301
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: But I thought when he admonished the media, I was.

302
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: Like, wow, I mean it's like Bill is standing next

303
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: to him saying in his ear what to say.

304
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, practice looked a lot like a I don't want

306
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: to say it look like a Bill Parcel's, but it

307
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: had that same sort of intensity and physicality which you

308
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: don't see in the NFL all the time anymore, like

309
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: a lot of coaches have because you're so afraid of injuries.

310
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: Like they pulled back from that, you know, intense, the

311
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: physical kind of practice, and this was a little bit

312
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: more old school. He's in everything like, he's just all

313
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: over the place, an all ball like he just wants

314
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: to talk about football, like he does not want to.

315
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't care about all the other stuff. He's football

316
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: and that's obviously very parcelly.

317
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: And he's got a ton of energy, kind of energy.

318
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: He looks like he could still play. Let's be clear,

319
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: he looks like he could still.

320
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: That's how we start a camp that he said that

321
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: he got up at three thirty in the morning. He

322
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: receives a text from his wife, but she must have

323
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: known that he's going to get up early here and

324
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: she said, just be ag. Yeah, he doesn't know how

325
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: to be anyone else. And what we said on the sideline,

326
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: my opinion is he is the right guy at the

327
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: right time, and it means so much to him today

328
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: after practice practice. I said, it's well documented in your

329
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: history here, but what's it been like now first we

330
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: practice and having a fanc here And he was clearly

331
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: emotional and he he said, hang with us, hold on

332
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: to the role, right.

333
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: He I asked him about you know, he started camp

334
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 3: by saying like he knows the pain of Jets fans

335
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: and how it's been tough and he wants to be

336
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: part of taking that pain away. And I asked him,

337
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: I said, that's a very personal kind of thing for

338
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: a coach to say, Like.

339
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: Where did that come from?

340
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: And he said, well, it is personal, like this is

341
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: the team that gave me my chance in the NFL,

342
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: and now it's the team that's given me a chance

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: to be a head coach. Like it's very personal life,

344
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: Like the team was not good when they drafted him

345
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, right, and then they got really good. Right,

346
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: Parcels turned the ship around, and he said, like he

347
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: remembers that feeling, like how great it was, like the excitement,

348
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: how fans, how people were and he was talking about

349
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: there's nothing better than winning in New York, right, Like

350
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: it is when you win in New York, like the

351
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: world is yours, and he said he wants fans to

352
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: have that again. He wants to play to feel that

353
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: they have not been able to feel that feeling. He

354
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: wants the organization to have it again. You know, he's

355
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: he's obviously very grateful that he you know, that he's

356
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: going to be the head coach here and that this

357
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: is the team that gave him a chance to be

358
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 3: a head coach. It means a lot to him that

359
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: it was his team. But I was just struck by

360
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: how much it means to him personally.

361
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: Yes, so personal It's got to strike a chord with

362
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: every Jet.

363
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: Fans, right Like.

364
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: You can say how much maybe you've been suffering, he

365
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: can come back to you and say, yeah, I know.

366
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 4: He knows. He's lived it. He's lived it, right.

367
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: He lived through tough days when he first got to

368
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: the Jets, when things were not great, and then lived

369
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: through great stuff.

370
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: He also made it clear that he's paid attention to

371
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: what was happening here. Yeah, along right, my heart is

372
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: with you all long right there.

373
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: So I've said this a few times, like there have

374
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: been a few things that he has said since he

375
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 3: got the job that I thought. I've texted people here

376
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: like man like Jets fans are going to like walk

377
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: through fire for him. He is so attached emotionally to

378
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: the team. He knows what the team's gone through. He

379
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: knows about the struggles and the high times and the

380
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 3: low times, and like he really wants to be a part.

381
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: It means something to him to be a part of.

382
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: Them, and he understands big picture. He said, yeah, we're

383
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: we want to win the super Bowl.

384
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no doubt obviously, right, but.

385
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: We're going to take a one day mentality each day.

386
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: He embraces the work part of it.

387
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: He does.

388
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 3: I asked him about the intensity of practice today and

389
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: I said, I assume that's all intentional, right, like you're

390
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: ramping up this competition. Because we also talked to Mason

391
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 3: Taylor after practice and he said, you know, Ag himself

392
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 3: is so competitive, and like the team draws from that, right,

393
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: like you are very competitive because you see him being

394
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: so competitive. And he said, of course that's intentional, like

395
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: everything we do is intentional, which I again, you could

396
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: practically hear Bill Parcel say that, right, like everything is

397
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: part of the plan.

398
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: Elijah Vera Tucker said it. He's all about physicality and accountability.

399
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Those two things he's going to stress.

400
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 3: Listen, officials are in practice like great, and and then

401
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: he said, like, listen, we were the most you know,

402
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: penalties team last year. That can't that cannot continue. That's accountability, right, Like,

403
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: here are the officials. Stop stop getting pre snap penalties.

404
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: All right, listen.

405
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: I know you're you got plenty of stops here on

406
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: your training camp doors. You're going to the Giants here tomorrow.

407
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: But you talked to Mason Tayler. You said in our mambo,

408
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: uh to Jets rookies drafted in the second round in

409
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: the first round, respectively. Your thoughts on those guys and

410
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: maybe watching them and then talking to them after practice.

411
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: There's so this is probably not something a football player

412
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: once said about them. But they're like they're so sweet

413
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 3: and young, right, Like they're they're just so nice. I

414
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 3: think they are fired up by Aaron Glenn. Like they

415
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: love the intensity of practice. You know, it's their first

416
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 3: training camp, I'm sure. I mean, you know, Mason Taylor

417
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: comes from a football family, so he probably has been

418
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 3: told what training camp is like, but like it's all

419
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: new to them.

420
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: So I think they love that.

421
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: They love justin fields, they praised him for his leadership

422
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: and how he'll bring the offense together and how steady

423
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: he is.

424
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: I like them. They're gonna be big pieces.

425
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, I would expect unless something goes hey wire,

426
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: I would expect that they will have significant roles as rookies.

427
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mambo's getting great work in each day. One of

428
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: the stars for me early in camp. I know people

429
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: are not going to be sleeping on him anymore because

430
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: one McDonald hits out af Sex last year. But you

431
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: got McDonald going against Membo each day and that's only

432
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: going to make Membo better. And Taylor has really impressed

433
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: me because yes, we knew he had the catching chops,

434
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: the receiving chops, but Glenn has pointed out that he's

435
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: getting after you as far as blocking.

436
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: That's concerned.

437
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: So the emphasis with the Jets running a football, But

438
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Mason Taylor is going to catch a lot of balls

439
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: in this offense.

440
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 4: Yes, which is always right.

441
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: A tight end is always a quarterback's best friend, right,

442
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: is such a great safety net for quarterback.

443
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we've never seen a guy like Fields here

444
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position as far as that skill set,

445
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: the dual threat.

446
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: Right.

447
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm excited to see that when he's healthy. I'm

448
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 3: very excited to see how they use that because you're right,

449
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: we've never had that here at the Jets, right, we

450
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: haven't had that sort of real running threat.

451
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 5: Right, any other storylines that No, I'm just I'm just

452
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: very curious to see how the season progresses because it wasn't.

453
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: The AFC is very hard.

454
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: I know we're so isolated here and that's what happens

455
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: with me. You're jumping around. I'm here every day and

456
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is a talented team.

457
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: This team is.

458
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: Gonna it does have it does have talent, but i mean, man,

459
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: there's the AFC is top heavy. But I'm interested to see,

460
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: Like I feel like Aaron, Glenn and Darren would you

461
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: have a plan and have very deliberate steps that they

462
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: want to get to along the way, and so I'm

463
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: curious to see how that progresses.

464
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: Well.

465
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: Great seeing you, and I know your plan is to

466
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: get back to the city exactly.

467
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: We'll see what the shore traffic is like on the way.

468
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, great to see you.

469
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 2: Thanks.

470
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: Gear up for the twenty twenty five season with the

471
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,720

500
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: got great players in this team and a lot of

501
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: great individuals, great kids in this team, and just watching

502
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 2: them out in the field there, everyone's super passionate. Everyone's

506
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: think I was saying the d earlier on Who's awesome.

507
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: By the way, she's behind the camera, she make sure

508
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: you know I was taken care of today. But just

509
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: like the fact that you know, I'm getting older every

510
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 2: year and then the players are getting younger. I just

511
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 2: see a bunch of kids out there just you know,

512
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: basically bright eyed, bushy tail and ready to like just

513
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: live in their dream playing in the NFL and playing

514
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: for the Jets.

515
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: What's your reaction though, when professional athletes are running up

516
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: to talk to you, because it's not like that for

517
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: every person who's going to interview these guys after to practice.

518
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: Oh, it's cool, Like it's really cool. You know. I

519
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: kind of noticed that when I went to that ty

520
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: End University thing that that's phenomenal. It's a phenomenal event,

521
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: by the way, and bringing all those guys together, Kittle's

522
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: done a great job. And Kittle and his wife done

523
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: a great job as well do putting that together, the Kittles,

524
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: I should say, but they were great. I was funny

525
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: when I was kinda where I got the first taste.

526
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: But because like there, I was ten years old, saw

527
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: would beat John Cena and and I was this and that,

528
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, these are any kids, dude, you

529
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like these are just these are

530
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: just kids watching me when I debut. So it's it's cool.

531
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: I was very unexpected for me, to be honest, to

532
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 2: see that reaction, but you know it's I'm not gonna lie.

533
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: It makes me feel pretty special. But that like, I've

534
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: done a lot of cool things in my career, and

535
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: as kids, they watched it, So them coming up and

536
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: talking to me and chatting away, talking about stuff that

537
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: I've forgotten ever happened in my career is very very cool.

538
00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: You talk about these guys as kids. Yeah, you are

539
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: a couple decades older than I'm older than you. But

540
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: how do you feel because you're still out there performing?

541
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. I was having a conversation one of

542
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: my best mates back home on Arland last night. I

543
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: was just saying, like, you know, sometimes I feel like

544
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: when you're in a whatever career in whether it's NFL,

545
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: whether it's w w A, you know, there's a road

546
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: to get there, in the journey to get there, and

547
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: people don't fans don't see that. You know, there's a

548
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: lot of sacrifice that has to be made, a lot

549
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: of hard works getting up when you don't want to

550
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: get up and go training when all your friends are

551
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: out having fun, you know, whether whether it's crap lash

552
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: and rain outside or the snow, and you still have

553
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: to get to practice, and you still have to work out,

554
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: and you still have to study, study the business you

555
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: want to be in, the sports you want to be in.

556
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, for me, I've never forgotten that journey and yeah,

557
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of success, but I still feel

558
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm as passionate now that I've ever been. I have

559
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: never lost that passion. Probably in some ways I'm more

560
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: passionate now than I was when I've first started. Why

561
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: is that, you know, I don't know. I still feel

562
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: my my type of mentality is I just feel like

563
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: I always have something to prove, Like I always feel

564
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: like I've got to prove something to myself and to

565
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: the fans. Like people kind of maybe don't remember, but

566
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: the first part of my career, people hated me. There

567
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 2: was there's a lot of stuff that went around, like

568
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: trying to undermine my own success and my own hard work,

569
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: whether it was politics. There was more of a politician,

570
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: which I really wasn't, and that like I took easier

571
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: routes into to become W champion, Like when I when

572
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: I first when I was when my first W title,

573
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: I had no idea what was going to happen until

574
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: two hours before the show. Really, yeah, you know, you know,

575
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: I just this has always been it was always my

576
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: dream to do this. So the first part of it

577
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 2: I think was marble. The fact that, like you know,

578
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: I was undeserving of what I got, no matter how

579
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: hard I worked now, no matter how much sweat and blood,

580
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: I left, our tears, whatever you want to call it,

581
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: I left in the ring every night. And then you know,

582
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: on the second half there is that. But then I

583
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 2: knew other end of it. I haven't been a successful

584
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: title wise, or I haven't, you know, the first part

585
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: was very much like I've won everything except for the

586
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: Icy title, which is still the title I have not one,

587
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: and I still have it's on my book a list

588
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: to when it's very high on that priority list. But

589
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: I just feel like I was very successful first part

590
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: of my career, and then the second part, you know,

591
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: I feel like while the people are just seeing, like,

592
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: you know, appreciating the work I put in and trying

593
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: to elevate the younger talent and trying to bring people

594
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 2: up and give the audience a banger match that they

595
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: haven't seen on the show, and just you know, leave

596
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: it out there. And I think people kind of at

597
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: this stage appreciate that I go out there in my

598
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: heart in my sleeve and I don't leave anything. I

599
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: leave everything in the ring. You know.

600
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Can you speak about the relatability factor that you have

601
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: with these guys that you said, hey, maybe some of

602
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: these guys are kids, but everybody has their own journey

603
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: and like you said, you to take so many steps

604
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: to climb up that ladder. And much like these guys

605
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: are out there on the professional field and the Jets

606
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: are trying collectively to go to another level that they

607
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: haven't been frankly in a long time.

608
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, look I get it, you know. Like again it's

609
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: this just like the Jets are huge franchise, Like you

610
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: have a lot of a lot of teams in the NFL,

611
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: but like I knew the Jets in Ireland, you know,

612
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: I was well aware the Jets, the Bears, the Giants,

613
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, like that, there's the Cowboys, you know, and Eagles.

614
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: They're they're in that group of like of core NFL teams.

615
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: And like I'm well aware who the Jets were before

616
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: even like came over here and started really getting into

617
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: watching American football. And look, look those lads are today today.

618
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: It's nearly one hundred degrees temperature, right, there's people sitting

619
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: in the stands watching them. Obviously, the first open practice,

620
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: the first what's the official term again, that's.

621
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: Open first first, Yeah, first open, first open public practice.

Speaker 2: wearing pads. They're like they're that it's like crazy heat

624
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: out there, and they're they're out there given everything they

625
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: possibly can. I know, I know fans expect a lot

626
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: because people think about like, well, these kids are coming

627
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: and these NFL players come in on huge salaries, and

628
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: I know, like sometimes like oh, he's making all this money,

629
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: in this money, But like at the same time, you know,

630
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: like it's easy for some of us who aren't on

631
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: that field and aren't putting in that practice to to

632
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: you know, sit in the couch and judge and say, well,

633
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: you should be doing better and should that. Like what

634
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: happens on that on that field is years and years

635
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: of hard work and sacrifice, and things happen in an

636
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: instant that can go wrong. It can go your way

637
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: or not go your way. But watching those guys today,

638
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: like they're all hungry, they all want to succeed. There's

639
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: nobody out on that on that on that field who's

640
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: just phoning it in or just wants to do the

641
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: bare minimum. They're all busting their arse. So as for

642
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: the Jets fans out there, who obviously, you know, have

643
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: seen a lot of disappointment over the years, like know

644
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: that those guys are doing everything they can to turn

645
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: that around.

646
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, do you ever wonder if you had the

647
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to play ball back in the day because you

648
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: started out as a rugby player. I got to imagine

649
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of opportunities in Ireland growing up.

650
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Played tagle football, no glass starr, They're fine. I don't

651
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: need the glasses, that's all right. Yeah, Look, I love

652
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: playing rugby. I didn't actually didn't even get into rugby

653
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: till later age. I played Gaelic football, which is our

654
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: national sport, hurling and football, and I you know, I

655
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: loved it. It's fast paced, it's great and the more.

656
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: And then I started lifting. I was in sixteen. My

657
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: dad got me into the gym and I started putting

658
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: on more size and then I just you know, rugby

659
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: for me was a great sport as well because I

660
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: love that, like that that physical aspect of stuff. I've

661
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: always been a big fan of physical sports, like getting

662
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: involved in there and hitting and you know, and driving

663
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: through and doing what you can. That's that's if you

664
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: watch me in the WWE ring. I'm definitely the most

665
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 2: physical w superstar in the ring. There's nobody who can

666
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: touch me with that. And I know when some of

667
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: the guys ive seen what their name be said mine

668
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: on that, like on that lineup for whether it's raw

669
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: or SmackDown Raw. Now obviously on Netflix where I'm on,

670
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: they're there. They know they're they're up for a scrap.

671
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: They know they better get there, get their body ready

672
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: because it's going to be physical regardless. But yeah, NFL,

673
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: if I grew up in this country, I'm pretty sure

674
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: I would have been like wearing pads and a helmet.

675
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: When I was playing rugby, I was. I was a

676
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: lot lower. I was like one ninety one ninety five,

677
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: but I was supposed to play blindside stuff. The packer

678
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: was pretty fast, but I also I could also hit

679
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: pretty good as well. I could hit fast and get

680
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: up pretty quickly. So yeah, I definitely think if in

681
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: another another leading parallel the universe, whatever you call another lifetime,

682
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: if I've grown up here in America at the time,

683
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: I definitely would have been trying my hand at football.

684
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: So one much. How much are you going in the

685
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: ring yet now?

686
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: Now I'm aut two fifty five to sixty, so yeah,

687
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: I mean when I was younger, it was really hard

688
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: to keep wait on, like I'm not gonna lie. I

689
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: would eat everything and I would I couldn't keep it on.

690
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 2: But I was in the gym all the time. I

691
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: was like, I love the gym, lifting whit six days

692
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: a week. I'd cycle everywhere as well, because like I

693
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: don't know, if you ever think about moving to Ireland,

694
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: car insurance is really expensive in Ireland, as his petrol,

695
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: as his gas are as our cars, like it's it's

696
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: not a country that it's designed to make you not

697
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: want to drive a car. But I used to cycle everywhere.

698
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: I loved it. I'd cycle like work, It's like ten

699
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: miles every morning out the swords and then cycle ten

700
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: miles back like I love the bike. Loved being very active.

701
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: So it was really hard for me to I couldn't

702
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: eat enough food to keep keep weight down or get

703
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: over one ninety five. But now in America, like obviously

704
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: you know now to two fifty five around now I'm happy,

705
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: happy that way, but so that would probably be a

706
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: different position for me.

707
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Jets International Imprint got the marketing rights over the UK. Yeah,

708
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: played in Tottenham as a visitor last year against the Vikings.

709
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: This year going to be the host team against the Broncos,

710
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: going right back. But also I have marketing rights in Ireland. Yeah,

711
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: can you speak about football's popularity over there and maybe

712
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: the Jets growing in Ireland.

713
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely grown. The first I knew about the

714
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: first really because I've been here any eighteen years, so something.

715
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: I don'tlready have my ear to the ground as much

716
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 2: back home as it used to because I was again

717
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: the travel schedule is so crazy. But my sister was

718
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: like talking about going to NFL parties. There's a there's

719
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 2: a bar in Dublin called Davits and every Sunday night,

720
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 2: because obviously they're five hours behind right Eastern time, they

721
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: show all the games. They show as many games they

722
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: can and the bar going into one two o'clock in

723
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: the morning, so all the early games, early games, afternoon

724
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: games will be shown at the bar. Yeah, So it's

725
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: it's grown really rapidly. And obviously the Jets look at

726
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: the Jets the colors man, green and way. That's that

727
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: there are colors, you know, So it's it's anonymous with

728
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: Ireland as well, the Jets colors. But yeah, we don't

729
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: really mention the UK thing that much in my hometown,

730
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, there's a big rovery there

731
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: as well. We're not part of the UK fellow, We're

732
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: our own I know, our own, our own islands, which

733
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: we love. But yeah, but crow Park is a great

734
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: place as well, and I know he's a couple of

735
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: players went over there to check it out. And if

736
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: they tried to handle a bit of hurdling with the

737
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: limit the limit hurlers was it? Who was a Quincy?

738
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: Was it? Quincy? Played a bit of Hereland Partey he

739
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: picked up pretty really quickly.

740
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, would you like the Jets they have a

741
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: home game in Dublin.

742
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: It'd be great. When when is that? It's not scheduled,

743
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: not just scheduled.

744
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think Pittsburgh actually has a game over

745
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: there this.

746
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Year, Pittsburgh and the Vikings. Right, Yeah, I just talked

747
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: to some of that, some of the earlier on the Rooneys. Somehow,

748
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: my my grandmother's made name is Rooney, so there's a

749
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: lot of Rooneyes in our family. But they think they're

750
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: going over for sure. And then I think there's also

751
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of teams Titans as well. I think

752
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 2: if their have their foot in both in Ireland as well.

753
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Who else is over there? I'm not sure. Yeah in

754
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: Germany too, right Jeremy, Oh yeah, where the other countries

755
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: as well? Jeremany.

756
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: Well, there's going to be a game in Australia.

757
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

758
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: They're talking about moving a game into the Midie Asia.

759
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: It continues to expand international record in terms of games

760
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: this year.

761
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: So I just think that's that's the way forward man.

762
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: You know, like I really do. To expand the game,

763
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: you have to bring the game into different countries. And

764
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: it's you can see like if there's no market, there

765
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't the wouldn't be any games. Now remember the Brazil

766
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: game last year that was crazy. But yeah, it's just

767
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: it's just growing globally and more and more people have

768
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: access to it now. It's it's especially in Dublin and

769
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 2: the UK or Ireland and the UK they're they're they're

770
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 2: available on all the channels over there. There's so many

771
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: sports channels, so it's just growing and growing and growing.

772
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic for the sport competition in any

773
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: sport is phenomenal, that's what you want.

774
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: How encourage are you by flag football too, because we're

775
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: seeing that expand over there as well.

776
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: With the women, right yeah, yeah, my my best one

777
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: of my best mates over there, Patty Mole's wife Trish,

778
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: plays a lot of rugby, so you've got a lot

779
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: of great like you got to poach a lot of

780
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: great female rugby players as well and stick them, stick them,

781
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: stick them on a field some flag flag football. That'd

782
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 2: be great. This this, this, there's not one bit of

783
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: shortage of people who would be who would love to

784
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 2: get involved and start playing the game.

785
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: You mentioned Kittle before, Yeah, how long have you had

786
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: a relationship with him?

787
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't already have a relationship with him, Like I've

788
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: seen him. He's come to a couple of w shows,

789
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: he came to my manium, he's there. I remember him

790
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: and his wife Claire were Claire Kittle and George. They

791
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: were standing beside my wife at Mania in LA when

792
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 2: I had that three way with with Gunter and Drew,

793
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: and then I met him. I think I met him

794
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: once at the WB show and then obviously I met

795
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: him at Tight in the University thing. I went with

796
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: Bailey and Grayson Waller and it was good crack. But yeah,

797
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: he's a huge w fan. There's a lot of players

798
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: who are in the NFL who are WWE fans.

799
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: We we talked a little bit about this before, but

800
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: can you speak to your schedule coming up a little bit?

801
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, where people are going.

802
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: To be seeing Shanus.

803
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: Well, so you know every week is different Ros on

804
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: Netflix now, so I had a match. I've had two

805
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: matches now, two banger matches with with russef who just

806
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: came back, and then you know, we're going to see

807
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 2: where that goes. I'll be out raw Monday in Detroit.

808
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: Detroit Monday, I'll do a dark match at SmackDown, which

809
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: is a match after SmackDown ends next Friday at the

810
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: Prudential and then we'll back after summers time. Then we're

811
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: in the Barkleys in Brooklyn and then I think we

812
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 2: have a couple of shows coming up. I'm not sure

813
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: where we're going to end up, but we're going to

814
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: end up eventually, we're going to go to Europe. I

815
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: think we was showing Birmingham, then with a pl in Paris, Paris, France,

816
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: and then where I was going to Paris, Paris, Texas,

817
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: not Paris, Texas, Paris, France. There Sunday Monday, and then

818
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: we're back in again and there's there's another show come

819
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: from Australia, so we'll be in Australia, We're going to

820
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: go to Europe, We're going to be all over the States.

821
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: Obviously there's a show. I think there's a show this

822
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: weekend in Mexico for some of the guys. I'm not

823
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: on that, but my schedule definitely has reduced quite a

824
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: bit as well. Sixteen years to come, eighteen years with

825
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: the company, six years on the road, so I have

826
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: kind of I am in a position I'm doing a few,

827
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: like less shows than normally have done over my over

828
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: my sixteen year career. Let me ask you this.

829
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: We got a young cornerback who's a star, Sauce Gardner.

830
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: He just signed a multi year extension. He's one of

831
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: the top.

832
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: I think I saw him man number five number Onember.

833
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: You saw Gara Wilson, who signed a long term extension.

834
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: I asked him about legacy the other day. He said,

835
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: I want to be one of the best ever, but

836
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: I want to do that and establish relationships along the way. Meaningful,

837
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: lasting relationships.

838
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,479
Speaker 2: That just speaks to.

839
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: His maturity at twenty four years old. He's not going

840
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: to turn twenty five, I think until August. With that

841
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: being said, what do you want your wrestling legacy to be?

842
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously one of the biggest things for me

843
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 2: was to become the first ever Ultimate Grown Stim Champion

844
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: WB Ultimate Ground and that the Icy Todder is the

845
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 2: one thing I haven't won that was I'm have part

846
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: of this, but as a performer as well, separate from

847
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: like accolades and stuff. Personally, I just want to be

848
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 2: a member for for the guy that put on the

849
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: most hard hitting, grueling matches, exciting matches in w B history.

850
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: Like I know it's hard to say, like you know,

851
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: having the best matches all the time, you know, but

852
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: I just for me, it's like the physical I want

853
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: to be known. I've known for my physicality. I want

854
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: that to be known. I want to know that, like

855
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: if you have every Shamous match was was a banger,

856
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: Every Shamous match was was physical, was grueling, that there

857
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: was like that that that I gave everything you know,

858
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: that was passionate and that was and that people paid

859
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: attention like they talked about their matches, but they're like,

860
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 2: oh it does whatever. Bet, those are their matches. But

861
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: this matches, it's going to be real, you know. I

862
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: it's hard for me to put into into words like

863
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: to say that because I've never really thought about that

864
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: and I'm that perspective. But uh, I just want to

865
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: be known for someone who went out there and gave

866
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: everything you possibly had, never phoned it in, never took

867
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: a short cut, always just words herded the sleeve, and

868
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: I always put on gave everything you possibly could in

869
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: every match you could, because that's that's what I do.

870
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm in the mindset where I can't go out there

871
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: and just just do the bare minimum. I can't go

872
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: out there and just half ass. If I'm out there,

873
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 2: I have to leave everything in that ring because that's

874
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: just who I am. Anything else, I feel like I'm

875
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: cheating the fans and I'm not doing it justice to

876
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: myself and the reputation that I've built.

877
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Well, the great thing is you still got a ways

878
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: to go.

879
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, I brought the mood down there. Yeah,

880
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: I just have a bit four more.

881
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: By the way, you look great in Green. I tell

882
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: you that every time I see it. You know you

883
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: can't do a Jets game. Last year we had you

884
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: on the pregame.

885
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: We did. Yeah it's green short right, green shure green tie. Yeah, no,

886
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: absolutely it greens, greens and easy color for me, mate,

887
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 2: it's an art. The whole Ireland like is green. Uh

888
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 2: it's it's basically said, it's it's their primary color.

889
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna make the Jets Ireland's team.

890
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you mate. There's there's a great opening there.

891
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: There's there's a competition a couple of teams, but I

892
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: think that you guys already got the colors. Between you

893
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 2: guys and the Titans. I think Titans of the Dublin

894
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: colors and you guys of the Irish colors. So there's

895
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: and as I said, like, you know, you guys show

896
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: Ireland that you got you know, you mean business. Any

897
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 2: team that does, like just go in there going, you know,

898
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: we're proud to be here. Irish people back. I think

899
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: Irish people have to be the most loyal people I

900
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: feel in the world, Like you you give everything you

901
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: can to Dublin, to Ireland, that they'll give it right back.

902
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: There's a were we are loyal to a fault fella

903
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm really mean that, like we really are. Like there's

904
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: there's just so much there's so much passion, you know,

905
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: like if in that country, and it's especially for sports.

906
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: We're just such a passionate, proud, proud country. We've been

907
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 2: through a lot over the years, you know what I mean,

908
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: We've as a country, as as people, we've been through

909
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: a lot over the last like a couple of hundred years,

910
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But we still find something

911
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: small about we still find things to celebrate, and I

912
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: think that's that's the beauty of of who we are.

913
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: We know who we are. That's the thing we're not.

914
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: We're not. We don't try and we're not trying to

915
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 2: pretend to be something else. We're not trying to figure

916
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: it out. We already figure it out. So that's why

917
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: when people come to Ireland and they go to Dublin,

918
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: and I.

919
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: Think New Yorkers can relate with that guy Yea, the

920
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: Celtic Warrior workouts.

921
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 2: What's in here?

922
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: How much you enjoying that? And also what's ahead?

923
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, doctor Child gave me a new lease of life.

924
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: When I first started that, I had no idea where

925
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: I was going to go. I was resting tacking with

926
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 2: Cesarro who's now a different company, Claudia Castinoli, and there

927
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: was times when we weren't doing anything creatively. So and

928
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: I have a lot of energy. I need to be

929
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: doing something. I need to I need to have an outlet.

930
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 2: I need to have some sort of like creative outlet.

931
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: And I, you know, I started doing these different workouts

932
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 2: because it's stagnated, and I just started figuring out these

933
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: things because I was doing the same thing for so long.

934
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: I was getting bored, and I started doing other people's

935
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: workouts like this is great, this is this is very

936
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: excuse me, very interesting. So then I started recording them

937
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: and doing these small workouts, brought a handheld camera with

938
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: me everywhere. I got the social media guys to film it.

939
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: And it's just grown and grown and grown. And senior

940
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: responses of people who watch it, who were like started

941
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: working out because of it, because they started watching their

942
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: favorite wrestlers male, female, whatever, and they started going to

943
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: this fitness journey because the fitness thing can be very daunting.

944
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: It can be like people, it's where do you start,

945
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: you know, how do you go in going into a gym?

946
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 2: And all these people I try and weights around. There's

947
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 2: a lot of there can be a lot of egos

948
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 2: and gyms and it's very kind of intimidating for somebody

949
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 2: you to go in there. So just gave them an outlet,

950
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 2: and I kind of every episode I show show a

951
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: very kind of like what's the word I'm looking for here?

952
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: Like a side of myself, that vulnerable side of myself,

953
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So because you know, I

954
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 2: want to listen to let people know that, like, even

955
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 2: though we have trained for so long, I still struggle

956
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: with these workouts. And it's just grown and grown and grown.

957
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: And the talent the rest of us who have given

958
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: their time to me to make this happen. They're unbelievable.

959
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 2: It wouldn't ever happen without them because they give up

960
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 2: their time. They share their story. It's all about their

961
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: stories too. It's not just about the workouts. It's about

962
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: that person's story, how they've like, what they've overcome, difficulty

963
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 2: you have training, how to change your training stall with

964
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: different injuries or different you know as you get older,

965
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: and what they did before, and all these things are

966
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: relatable to people watching. It's all about having fun in

967
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: the workout. It's all about having the crack, asking questions,

968
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: you know, just just enjoying it. And then that energy

969
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: I think transfers to people watching. And I think it's

970
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: almost at one point two million now, which is incredible.

971
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: Jet I think at jets work would be fantastic. I

972
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: want to I want to start moving to that realm now.

973
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: I think jelly Roll just tell me he wants to

974
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: get on there. He's on a massive weight loss journey.

975
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: I just, uh, you know, I'm really starting to push

976
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: outside of WBNW for like, like different things like jets

977
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,080

978
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, different sports and different like personalities. The more

979
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: more that I get that's outside of the realm and

980
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: WB the better. It just keeps growing and growing and

981
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 2: growing because eventually gonna run out of rut of arrestors.

982
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,919
