<v Speaker 1>here at one Jets Drive, now joined by one of

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the directors of Flight twenty three Ascension, Seth Bradley. Seth,

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for coming up here. I want to

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>take people behind the scenes. That was one of the

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>things I was thinking about, is you went through this

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>entire process throughout the offseason to get Ascension off the

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>ground literally figuratively. What was Thursday night like for you

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as far as when that starts streaming at eight pm?

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you watching it because you spent countless hours going

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>through this process to get it ready. At like at

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>eight o'clock when everybody else is taking in for the

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>first time, what are you doing.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>First of all, thanks for having me on here. I

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate it. It's you know, Thursday night at eight pm.

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I would say, you want to take a breath and

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>just kind of enjoy the reaction everyone's going to have

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>to the episode. But I think from our cru standpoint,

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>which you know, we put so many hours into it,

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 2>we watch it so many times, I think, by you know,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>eight pm on Thursday, we just want to let the

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>fans enjoy it. You know, I probably won't watch it

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>till maybe like a day or two later. I caught

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the episode actually on sn HY on Saturday. But the

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>reality is like, by the time it comes out, you're

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>just hoping there's not a mistake in it or something,

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>because you want the episode to be absolutely perfect, and

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, you just want to kind of

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>enjoy seeing that reaction for the fans, which that's the

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>best part for us.

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>What have you thought of the reaction from the fans

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 1>to date?

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>It's been awesome, you know. I think the whole thing

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>with you know, acquiring Aaron Rodgers and everything, you know,

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I think throughout the off season it was just one

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of those things where you didn't really ever feel like

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>it was really gonna happen or it was real, and

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you kind of, you know, the Pat McAfee show happens,

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and there's so many different moments throughout the offseason. You know,

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>we just really wanted to kind of capture that and

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>tell that story in a way that you know, hopefully

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>obviously the season is going to go the way everybody

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>wants it here, but I think, you know, twenty to

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty years down the road. I would love for a

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>fan to be able to turn that on and say, like,

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>this is the story of you know, the Jets acquiring

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>a Hall of Fame quarterback, and you know, I think

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>to see such positive reaction, I'm just I'm really happy

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 2>for our crew because I think, you know, the the

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>reality is, it's not the most glamorous process to get

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>to eight pm on Thursday. You work so many hours,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're really working when nobody's watching, you know,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 2>to get this done. And I think, you know, our

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>crew does such a great job of just putting their

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>head down and you know, putting so much passion and

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 2>and effort into this that you know, I think it's

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>just it's very rewarding for us to see. And I'm

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>just glad the fans had such a positive reaction to it.

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>How much footage did you have to collect? And then also,

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>can you talk about the challenges of bringing that down

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to forty six minutes and change? And then you mentioned

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the S and Y airing. The other thing you have

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to do is not just the forty six minutes and change,

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is that you have to make it into a TV

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>show window. So if you're watching an S N Y

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>or CBS, you're more than nineteen fifty five range.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, one of our editors, Bobby Doherty's, you know,

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 2>one of the best in the business. He's the one

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 2>back there cutting it up for you know, so many

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>different platforms, and you know, he was here late on Friday,

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, after the episode got on Thursday, you know,

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>delivering it for S and Y and CBS it runs

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>as well. So you know, I think there's just like

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things people wouldn't see about, you know,

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>how that process even goes. But you know, I think,

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's cool to see it, you know,

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>on the broadcast platform. You know, I think, you know,

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>it's great what's happened with YouTube and you know how

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>crazy goes. But and you turn on and you see

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the guy says it's going to be on sn Y

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and they'll run a ton and CBS as well. You know,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it's really kind of cool to see it on so

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 2>many different platforms. But you know, I think in terms

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>of the hours of footage, it's it's hundreds of hours

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of footage that you know, we go through in the

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>course of an offseason, you know, So I think really

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>from the moment that you know, coach Salah and Joe

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Douglas and you know what, he kind of come out

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, we're going to go after a veteran quarterback.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, we immediately know, like, you know, the quarterback

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the number one story, you know,

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of the entire offseason, and it's it's pretty crazy to think,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, this story kind of became bigger than the Jets,

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It kind of became bigger than the NFL. I think

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it was one of the historically one of the biggest

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>acquisitions in the history of sports in terms of the

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 2>amount of coverage it was getting. So it's more than

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>just you know, really like what we're shooting on a

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>daily basis, which are guys you know, are the best cinematographers.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>But it's also kind of being aware of, you know,

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>who else is talking about us, what's being said. You know,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you how many times I've fired off

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 2>a text to you know, Austin Seebot, one of our

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 2>main editors and producers, or Bobby or whoever, and just

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 2>said like, hey, like, you know this happened on Good

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Morning Football. You know, I heard this on ESPN radio

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you kind of like store things away

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and you're you're not even sure if you're really going

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>to get to use it or not. But it's you know,

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I think if I walked a fan through what the

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 2>show looks like in terms of our editing software and

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 2>things like that, they'd be pretty amazed at the amount

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>of stuff that's actually in there.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was going to ask you. As far

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>as using the external media, whether it's I'm like Greenberg

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>or Peter schreg or Colin Coward or maybe somebody from

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>esp on New York here ninety eight point seven and

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Dan graz how do you go about finding all those

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>clips or listening to those clips? Like do you ever

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>have a shut off valve? Or when you get in

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>your car, are you turning on ESPN ninety eight seven

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and listen to Michael Kay much like the next morning,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>are you watching Kellerman, Jay Will and Keishawn to see

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>if they have anything to say, because, like you just said,

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody who's talking about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets from

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the jump this offseason.

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely kind of a needle in a haystack thing.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like I do try to shut it off sometimes

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>and not listen to the sports radio or you know,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>turn on you know, get up in the morning or

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning Football. But the reality is like, especially in

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the case of this offseason, everybody was talking about the

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Jets every single day. So I think, you know, if

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to find something, I mean, for one, you know,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Ira from Staten Island's going to call into ESPN Radio

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>every single morning, so you're like, well, if we need

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a fan, it's gonna call in. You know, it's gonna

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>be him, or you know, there's gonna be a ton

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>of you know, Boomer g O ESPN Radio wherever. It's

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>like the phone lines are are always going to be,

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, popping, So you know, I think it's just

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of having an awareness of saying like, hey, like

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>you know I heard something that you know, potentially we

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>could use down the road. A lot of times, it's

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just you know, it's a it's a blessing and a curse.

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I have a pretty good memory of like saying like, hey,

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>like somebody said this back in January, somebody said said

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>this in February. But you also kind of had to

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>be the one thing I didn't want to have happen

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>with this episode was just telling the story of the

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>day Rogers came in. I wanted to build up of Okay,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 2>like this is what happened from January, you know, to

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 2>that moment and then you know, obviously the moment he arrives.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>So I think, you know that that's really what we

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>were trying to do. And I think it's you know,

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I had a couple of people text me and say, like,

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>you guys, really build up the suspense, like I was

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>like reliving it again, and I know it kind of

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>probably brings back some anxious moments for fans, but I

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>think that was the whole idea is like, you know this,

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever been a part of a

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 2>moment here, and I don't know if you have either.

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, you could you can relate to maybe like

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the Brett Favre trade or things like that, but you know,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I think having the me talk about the Jets every

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 2>single day was something I've never really been a part

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>of here.

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the far trade was incredible or incredible because you're

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about that happening in August of two thousand and eight,

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>like the Jets were literally playing a preseason game against

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cleveland Browns, and here shows up Brett Favre in

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland and literally the next day they had a news

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>conference at city Hall. Mike Bloomberg was the mayor and

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>far received the key to the city. But just think

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>about the timing on that is that he gets traded

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in August, You're opening up the season September. So the

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>difference between that one too is the way people consume

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>in the media. Right. It used to be radio and newspaper, newspaper,

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>radio and television, and then cable TV was big with

0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>ESPN and Sports Center. Now everybody's consuming content different diferently,

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're taking it in at the moment. And then

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you also have the birth of the long form documentary

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that the league has always done a good job in.

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I think when we talk about series like Hard Knocks

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>or Steve Sable what he's he did over the years.

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>But you guys, historically, I think Joe Douglas said this

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>is a historical trade for the franchise, but you just

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that, Hey, this is just an historical move that

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of transcends sports. That you're getting a future Hall

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>of Fame quarterback here after eighteen years in Green Bay

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>and then you have this merge of all these different

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>platforms covering it at the same time, Robert Salah, you

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>guys get into his car with him. How many people

0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>are in that kind of shoot and can you talk

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>about setting that up and what time of day that

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>happened and how Salah was with you guys.

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Now, Coach style has always been great. You know,

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, it's really been kind of cool

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 2>to see the way this thing has been built the

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years with him and Joe. But in

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>terms of you know, a car interview like that, we

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>had three people in the car. We have two shooters

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and a producer. I'm in the back, and you know,

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's pretty much like it seems. It's it's

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>an early morning ride to work. You know, Coach gets

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>up early, he gets here early, so you know we're

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>there and ready to roll. But like I said, you know,

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, Coach from the day walked in.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 2>He preached, you know, building this thing the right way

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>with you know, hiring the right people on his staff,

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and the same with Joe, and I think we felt

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>that from a production standpoint, you know, I think everybody's

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 2>so great to work with. You know, I think you

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>want to root for everybody here because you know, you

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>feel it every day like it's just different, you know.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, you know, as you know, like it's

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>from the day coach walked into building when he got hired,

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>it just everything seemed to kind of change with the

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>way everything felt. And then obviously to now seeing you know,

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Aaron come in, it's like man like it's because of

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>what they built. And I think you know, you felt

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 2>that from the beginning.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>How do you determine as a storyteller when to use

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>your voice or a producer's voice as far as the

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>transition is concerned, and also when to use maybe that

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>external media voice that helps you weave the story together.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, I think it's a fine balance.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I think sometimes when you're telling a story like this,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, you feel like, okay, like for the viewer

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to truly understand, you know, where this message is coming from,

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you might need to hear the question, or you might

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 2>need to hear a reporter question in a press conference,

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 2>or it's just really kind of the art of storytelling,

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 2>you kind of have to you know, pick and choose,

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>like you know, obviously, like an ideal scenario, we might

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>not use my voice at all, you know, because we

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 2>use narration, which Rich Jhson's narrator in the show. But

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>in some cases, it just you feel like you need it.

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>You feel like you need to and to me, like

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>car interviews in particular, like I've always felt like there's

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 2>some of the best access you can get to somebody

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 2>because I think like it's just a very intimate setting

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>to kind of hear somebody's thoughts, and you know, I

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>think hearing Coach Salad talk about Aaron Rodgers was you know,

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>one of the unique parts of the production process for me,

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>because I think when you're talking about somebody with an

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 2>incredible defensive mind, you know that came up through the

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.599
<v Speaker 2>league ranks as a defensive you know, defensive coach and

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>then a defensive coordinator in San Francisco, I think hearing

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>him talk about what he sees when he, you know,

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 2>watches Aaron play is pretty special and I wanted to

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 2>make sure there was a moment in the show where

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 2>you had a chance to hear you know why, you know,

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.959
<v Speaker 2>what coach sala thinks about Aaron Rodgers in the way

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 2>he plays a game. So I think with a you know,

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a producer question. Sometimes you just need to put it

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>in there to kind of say, like this really is

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 2>going to set the scene, or it's going to be

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>a dramatic bite in the show, or but that's really

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>how we get to that point.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought it was really cool the way he

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>was talking about, like you, you were just mentioning that, Hey,

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Salah for so many years saw the game through that

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.959
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator's eyes or the defensive assistant's eyes where he's

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>going toe to toe against Rogers. And he talked to

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you about the two minute, how he's always run two minutes,

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>he's the guy calling the plays, and how much stress

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that he puts on a defense. Now, speaking of Rogers,

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>so one of the things that you tweeted about recently

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was his presence. Yeah, what was it like for you

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>day one when he comes in here, does the news

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>conference and then he sits down with sits down with

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys in the fieldhouse.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was really cool. You know, I think for

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>everybody in the building that day, it was such a

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, a special day for you know, our entire

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>staff and really the whole organization. But you know, I

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 2>think for our crew in particular, it was such a

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, unique moment when he was going to sit

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 2>down to do that first interview, and you know, I

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>think Jets fans and you know, really kind of got

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>to see will Han in terms of micing him up.

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's one of our great producers, and Rogers

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of says like, now, like I don't want to

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>be miked, and and then we all kind of just

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>take a moment and then we realize he's joking, and

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>he says like, you know, come on back. And it

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 2>was just such a cool moment. You know, we we

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 2>we kind of put that in the show because it

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>just really like it was like, man, like he's just

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a cool dude. You know, like we just kind of

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>like sat down at that point we said like all right,

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 2>like this is We're really doing this. This is gonna

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 2>be great. But I think like it's a moment really

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>for me and I'm sure for the rest of our crew.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 2>You're remember forever. You'll tell your kids about, you tell

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>your grandkids about like the day, you know, Aaron Rodgers

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 2>came into building. It was such a unique thing and

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, it's a few times in your

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 2>life you'll be around somebody with a presence like that

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>that really just you know, you just feel it, like, man,

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>like this guy eighteen years in the NFL, you know,

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame quarterback coming to the Jets. I just

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>it didn't even really like feel like it was real.

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>And then we kind of like watch the episode back

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and then we kind of said, like, man, like, this

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 2>is kind of cool to like relive all of this

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and have this documented this way.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I liked when he told you guys that, hey, listen,

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>when I'm in, I'm all in. So if I'm going

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to do something, it's like f Yeah. I think it

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>was the phrase that he used. So you got that

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sense on day one when he was speaking to you

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>guys or when he was down there in the auditorium

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that he was genuinely exited to be here. This was

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>your first time meeting him. Yeah, how would you describe him?

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Man, It like blew away any expectation I think I

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>even had, Like I guess, like you don't really know

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 2>really what to expect from somebody you know coming in

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the building, you know, for the first time, and with

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 2>the pedigree of you know, someone like that. But I

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>think when you heard the conviction in his voice of

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, wanting to play for the Jets and you know,

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 2>wanting to be here and you know, wanting to bring

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>another you know, super Bowl championship to the Jets. It's

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>just it's one of those things where I think, you know,

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>all fans really kind of just said like, wow, like

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 2>this is really like happening. And you know, I think

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 2>you got the sense when he was on Pat mcafeel like,

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 2>man like, he's all in on the Jets. But I

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 2>think you saw it that first day like man like,

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 2>this is really why, like he always truly wanted to

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 2>be a Jet, you know. And I think, you know,

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 2>it's it's such a cool thing, and it's such a

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>testament to Joe and Robert and everything they've kind of

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>build up that you know, he's coming in day one

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and saying like, you know, this is what we're going

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to do. And I think I think fans really felt

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 2>that during the press conference too. I think it was

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 2>such a it was just such a unique day, you know.

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's a day I always remember and

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you know everybody in the organization will.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Can you talk about the genesis of adding a lot

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of fans generated content in there, because there's a lot

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of people out there now who are running their own

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>media sites per se, especially over social media. And with

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that being said, not only that, but can you talk

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>about the genesis at Diehards. Yeah, because you're bringing I

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>think fans closer to the organization now.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, you know, Jets fans in particular, it's

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 2>like I've never been around a group quite like them.

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think is the is the off

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>season kind of went on. I think we kind of

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 2>knew with the Jets going after a quarterback, it was

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be a very unique offseason for the fans.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 2>You know. I think in a normal off season, there's

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 2>so much hype around the team and you know, Jets

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Twitter and you know, our fans are just always at

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a fever pitch, you know, they always have so much optimism,

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think when we hit the off season, it

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>was like, man, like, there's a real unique opportunity here

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.639
<v Speaker 2>to show some of this story through the eyes of

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 2>a fan. And I think this Aaron Rodgers you know,

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 2>pursuit is kind of embodies what this fan base is

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 2>all about. It was kind of cool to see, you know,

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 2>different pinpoints of the offseason where they really kind of

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, the Pat McAfee interview and you know,

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 2>different parts where you know, the Jets flying out to

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 2>California as a day I'll never forget in terms of

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 2>like the excitement and the build up to everything that

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 2>was going on because at that point in time, like

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 2>no one really knew what was happening, and it's like, hey,

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the Jets are going to fly out there, and it

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 2>sends Twitter into a frenzy. So I think with you know,

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Flight twenty three, you know, we did the We've done

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 2>a couple episodes of the Dieards, and that series will

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 2>continue into the season. We'll have an opportunity to showcase

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of unique fan personalities. But I think

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 2>in in Flight twenty three, you know, we kind of

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 2>made the call like hey, like, you know, a lot

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 2>of this is still about the fans. You know, this

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 2>is like such an exciting, exciting time and we kind

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>of wanted to give them their moment where it was like, hey,

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 2>like the day that you know, the trade broke the news,

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll never forget where I was in that moment. I'm

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>sure you'll never forget where you were. It was like

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>it was one of those things where you want to

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of capture like what that actual the emotion of

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that moment, And I think that's why we wanted to

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:28.479
<v Speaker 2>kind of showcase some of those fans.

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Is it cool for you to not only feature the fans,

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>but feature some people within the organization. Like what I

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>liked about this recent episode, among many things, was you

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>talk into the ticketing and apartment kind of given like

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a behind the scenes look how this all has impacted them.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like you know, as you know, yeah, it's

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, this organization, regardless of how the team has

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 2>been performing over the years, there's a ton of people

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that put everything they have into this organization every single day.

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think, you know, it's been kind of cool

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 2>to see just you know, the excitement in the building.

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, with everything that's happened this offseason, you feel

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 2>it in the building. You know, everything was kind of

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 2>building to this trade, but it's like, you know, when

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>you have the realization like hey, like this is really

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen, there's just so much excitement around it and

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 2>it affects everybody in here. So, you know, I think

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 2>we really wanted to just kind of capture, you know,

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 2>what it's like for somebody working in here, because it,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, is it's a great day for not just

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the fans, it's a great day for you know, the team.

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a great day for everybody working here as well. So,

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, we really just kind of wanted to shed

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>some light on you know how it kind of you know,

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 2>it can affect not just you know, the team and

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the players and the coaching staff, it can affect like

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>really everybody and the excitement around it. So it was

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>really cool to feature Fitsie and his crew and you know,

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>all the hard work.

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.439

<v Speaker 1>Let's preview episode two. What is happening next? Because you

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 1>basically just slayed the dragon. You basically came out of

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>the gate really hot. You just knocked out Mike Tyson.

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>What's next? Can you talk about that challenge for you

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and the fellas to okay, maybe not match the excitement

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>level of Rogers Rod because that's frankly that's impossible. Yeah,

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but can you talk about how you still want to

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:11.240
<v Speaker 1>tell the story the offseason while continuing to hammer home

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>that Rogers is here and he's part of OTA's but

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>also Flight twenty three Ascension is about the totality of

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 1>what's happening with the team.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's honestly, it's a huge challenge. I mean you

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>just kind of summed it up. It's it's really hard

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to kind of, you know, take a breath and say, like, okay,

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like how are we gonna you know, matches or keep

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 2>keep the momentum of the show going, because it is

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.280
<v Speaker 2>really a challenge when you think of a moment in

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 2>history like that, you know, documenting it. But I do

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>think episode two is is very unique and a fan

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 2>is going to really enjoy it, you know, because it's

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>going to focus on the draft, which I think is

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of everything was happening with you know, the Aaron

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers trade, we were still documenting in the draft meetings.

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.959
<v Speaker 2>We were still you know, had a bunch of cameras

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>in the draft room on draft night. So I think,

0:22:57.960 --> 0:22:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, fans are going to get a really cool

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.919
<v Speaker 2>inside look get you know, Joe and his staff and

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the coaching staff and and what kind of led to

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>these selections of Will McDonald, Joe Tipman and the rest

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>of these picks. So I think, you know, I think

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 2>for like people that really love the draft and the

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 2>inner workings and seeing you know, kind of like behind

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.399
<v Speaker 2>the curtain, I think this episode is really going to

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>do that justice. You know. I think the the unique

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 2>part about Flight is it last year, you know, it

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 2>was all about the draft, you know, with how many

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>draft picks we had in the in the big moment

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 2>was episode four when you know, the Jets get three

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>first round picks and then they ultimately get Breese and

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 2>just you know, Joe working the phones and it all

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of built up to that moment. This year, it's

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit different because of you know, the quarterback search,

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and we had to kind of cap you know, we

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted to make sure we hit everybody out of the

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 2>gate with you know, Aaron Rodgers. But I do think,

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the coolest parts about this show

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 2>is seeing the conviction you know, this staff has and

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 2>seeing these guys work. And I think there's some really

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 2>unique moments in the draft room with Joe, you know,

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>prior to pick fifteen and leading up to the Joe

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Tipman pick that I think fans are really gonna like

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>because there's nothing quite like seeing Joe work on draft

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 2>right like he's in such as he's in his element

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 2>and he has such command of the room that I think,

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's such a cool inside look for Fantasy.

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:26.719
<v Speaker 1>So episode two, you're taking us from Thursday to Saturday.

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Is this entirely the twenty twenty three draft.

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's gonna pretty much take you through the draft

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 2>in totality. You know, I think it's just going to

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 2>be you know, really really unique look and we we actually,

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of my favorite parts about the episode

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.120
<v Speaker 2>is fans are going to get an inside look at

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, Kyle the kid who made you know, our

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>first round selection. The day he did the press conference here,

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, he met a ton of the staff and

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 2>he was he was in the building, and I think

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>fans are going to get a really unique look at

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 2>who he is as a person and you know, his family,

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's you know, gonna be It's just

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, the the drama of the draft

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and everything like that, it really provides perspective of you know,

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 2>what's you know important in life and you know, taking

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 2>a moment to kind of learn who he is as

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 2>a person before he made that pick, you know. And

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think it's kind of cool to see

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 2>everything come full circle because then you see Will at

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.920
<v Speaker 2>his house, you know, watching Kyle make the pick, and

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>there's there's some really cool moments in this episode. I think,

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I think fans will get a really unique look and

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think for me personally, as someone that

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 2>grew up loving the draft, I mean, seeing what is

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 2>said in kind of draft meetings and the build up

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>to it is you know one of the coolest parts

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of the process for us. And you know, credit to

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Joe and his staff for kind of being comfortable with

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, cameras being in there to capture some of

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 2>these cool moments.

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and make no mistake about it. Seth Bradley as

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a football junkie, especially around college football, and you beloved

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Penn State Nitney Lions. How cool is that for you

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>when either you or one of the guys or a

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>few of the guys are in that room listening to Joe,

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff, all the scouts, all the evaluators discuss

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>position groups and certain players. Because you know the game

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 1>inside and out, but just to hear the way the

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>process works, how much do you enjoy it? And how

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>tough is it for you to be like, oh, man,

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>well that was really great now, but we can't include

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that in there.

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely really cool, you know, because I think there's

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>guys like you watch college football as just a fan

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, man, I love that guy or I

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 2>think I think he's great, and you start to hear,

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:47.719
<v Speaker 2>like a coach maybe start to dissect like what's you know,

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 2>not so great about the player or a scout you know,

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>giving you know, their character evaluations or things like that,

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.239
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, man like, you know, we're not going

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to take that guy for sure, you know so, but

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's really cool. And you know, I

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 2>was telling somebody this the other day. It's like the

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>best part about this process is you feel a conviction

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in the room by the time they get to the

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>draft and kind of seeing guys they like throughout the process.

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And I'll never forget last year. You know, we were

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>in the meeting when they talked about Jermaine and you know,

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>hearing Joe talk about him, and then the minute you know,

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 2>it's past pick ten and we selected Garrett and you

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of see Joe start to talk to Robert and

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 2>say like, hey, like we can go get Jermaine, and

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 2>we we we kind of had known how much they

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 2>liked him throughout the process, and it was it was

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 2>one of those things from a storytelling standpoint, you're like, man, like,

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope this trade goes through. Like I'm kind of

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 2>like we're nervous like capturing the moments because we're like,

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 2>man like, if we somehow don't get them, like we

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>know kind of like how we can tell this story.

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.680
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's just really kind of cool to see

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the conviction these guys have, and I think by the

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>time you know, you get to the draft, fans might

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 2>not really know like who our number one targets are

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. But I think you feel it

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in the building like okay, like this is a guy,

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 2>like they really want.

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 1>How important is music in what you do? Because you're

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>just talking about Joe and the phone calls last year.

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys epically put that together. But can you talk

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 1>about music and then also you're writing because is it

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>essentially you or is other people? As far as the

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>staffs concern the writing, because you talked about the narration

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>with Rich Eison.

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think the narration part of it is something

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:36.840
<v Speaker 2>that you know, a lot of other productions won't necessarily

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 2>tap into because writing for you know, documentaries is very challenging,

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you know. I think NFL Films does it so well

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>with Leaf Shreiver, and you know, it's it's kind of

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 2>a signature to the way Hard Knocks does it and

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 2>things like that. And I think anytime you're gonna go

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna you know, write scripts for you know stuff,

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the writing has to be good.

0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like I think you could you can get to

0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a spot where if it's bad writing, it becomes very

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 2>like jarring for a viewer to watch. So I think

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 2>our crew does a great job. It's really you know,

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>me and two others, Austin Siebolt Bobby Doherty. You know,

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>we work really, you know, hand in hand to write

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 2>these scripts. We kind of you know, as you're going

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 2>through an episode, you kind of say like, okay, like

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 2>we really need a transition line here. We can write

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>creatively to this, we can write a monologue. You know.

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 2>The the end monologue with to episode one was something

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:35.959
<v Speaker 2>that we had really kind of designed specifically for Rich Eisen.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 2>It was one of those things where we kind of said, like, hey,

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>like Rich is a diar jets Van. We hear it

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>every day on his radio show. Let's have a moment

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 2>where he can kind of pay tribute to what this

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 2>moment is like through his eyes. So I think it

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 2>was it was one of those things where that had

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that couldn't be just anybody. It had to be Rich.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think that, you know, that was kind of

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>a really cool moment in the show. But our guys

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 2>do a great job, you know, writing these scripts, and

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and to me, music is everything. Because you know, a

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 2>piece of video is just is just video until it

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>comes to life with the you know, the emotion of music.

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 2>So we'll spend a lot of time finding the perfect tracks,

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, for an episode, and sometimes you might cut

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a scene or you might do something. You might be like,

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the music just doesn't feel right here, like, you know,

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 2>we need to we need something it's a little more captivating,

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>We need something it's a little bit of a different tone,

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>you know. I think even going back to we talked

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>about the Diehards before, it's like, you know, we use

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 2>very unique music in that documentary. In particular, it had

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to be different because it was a different tone of

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, a show. So I think everything's very calculated

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>with this. You know, it takes a lot of time,

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, in terms of finding the perfect music for

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 2>an episode. But you know, I think at the end

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of the day, you want to pull out the emotions

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>of a viewer. You know, you want a viewer to

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 2>have an emotional connection to a piece, and I think

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>music is is the key to all of it.

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>How painstaking can it be as far as setting up

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that perfect shot and can talk about dance Plakowski and

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>his kind of lead as far as how meticulous and

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>how detailed. He is a perfectionist as far as getting

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>those shots and the perfect lighting and the perfect angle,

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and the way we have to switch some things up sometimes.

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>If hey, maybe we did the interview with Joe in

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the field House, that means we got to take Aaron

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and put him in a different place.

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dan's the most talented person I've ever worked with.

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, We've been fortunate to work together now on

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of these productions, even going back

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to like twenty sixteen we were on the Blall Palchhote together.

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 2>You were there, and you know, I think back to

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 2>some of those original like documentaries we did and thinking

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 2>about how far we've come production wise. You know, it's everything.

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Every shot is very calculated to your point, you know,

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 2>it's but you also kind of have to be able

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to run a gun and adapt them to fly with

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>the nature of like how fast paced sports is. So

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 2>but when I think back to, you know, what we

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 2>were able to do the day Aaron arrived at the

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 2>facility and the different shots we were able to capture,

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know, our crew is so prepared and and

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.959
<v Speaker 2>that's to dance credit you know. He he's really like

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>overhauled our you know, production process over the over the years,

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>just to in terms of the cameras we use, in

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 2>terms of the equipment we use, and I think, you know,

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 2>putting our cinematographers in the best possible spot. And I think,

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, thinking to One Jets Drive and a fan watches,

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of our game scenes. You know, I

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 2>think the amount of different cameras we have going in

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>one game, the location of each it's all very thought out,

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it's all very planned, and I think our goal with

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, a show like One Jets Drive is to

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 2>give a fan a perspective of the game that they're

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 2>not going to get anywhere else. And I think you

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.120
<v Speaker 2>might not even realize it as you're watching it, like

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 2>how many unique camera angles and stuff we actually have

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 2>and players miked up and cameras behind the bench and

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>players in the locker room. But it's there's so much

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 2>that goes into that part of it, and it's just

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>countless hours of planning and preparation. And I think but

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day too, you also have

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>to have incredible talent in the building to kind of

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>do to pull this all off and our crew, like

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I said, is the best there is. You know, It's

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 2>like I think, you know, if somebody looks at a

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:33.479
<v Speaker 2>production like Hard Knocks and they look at the credits

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>at the end, they're going to see probably you know,

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 2>over one hundred people in the credits, maybe more. But

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 2>with our crew, it's you know, seven or eight people

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 2>that are really you know, punching above their weight every

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 2>single day to make this happen. And you know, you

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 2>might go from one shoot to another on a moment's notice,

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you might only have twenty minutes to prepare for a shoot,

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 2>but you know, our goal all the time is to

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 2>have everyone ready for you know, whatever occurs, and to

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 2>do it to the best, you know, the highest possible

0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 2>production quality. So you know, I think when you look

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 2>at our productions over the years, they've obviously like steadily improved,

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know we've been you know, more and more

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>prepared for everything. But I think, you know, obviously, you know,

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 2>you said it to Dan's credit, like we've really to

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>me like we want to set the standard across the

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 2>league in terms of what we're doing. I think this

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 2>production in particular, does that do.

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 1>You think about how far you've come and how far

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the group has gone, like you've been to Jets since sixteen,

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and maybe give a backstory as far as how the

0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>long form was introduced here.

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a will be my ten season with

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the Jets coming up, and I think the first couple

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of years it was heavy focus on you know, short

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:51.839
<v Speaker 2>form media. Yeah, and I think you know, come like

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen. You know, Chris Gargano was our executive producer

0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:58.360
<v Speaker 2>at the time, and he really kind of, you know

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 2>said like when you des tryed to tell the stories

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 2>of who these guys are off the field and under

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 2>the helmet, and you know, that's growing up. You know,

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 2>my dream was to produce you know, sports documentaries. I

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:14.799
<v Speaker 2>love thirty for thirties. I love you know, ESPN films,

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, really hard knocks everything. And I think it

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 2>was just, you know, one of those things where like

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 2>once we kind of open that can of worms, like

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 2>we're going to go down this path. It was you know,

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it really helped build the brand of the organization.

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, I was I was trying to tell somebody

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 2>this the other day and they were wondering why, Like

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 2>we flashed back to Joe and Roberts like first days

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>as a jet in this past episode and things like that,

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, well, the story didn't start with Rogers.

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 2>It started, you know, a couple of years ago. And

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I think if you go through even what One Jets

0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Drive is, you know for the past five or six seasons,

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you kind of see the beginnings of the story. And

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the really cool part about like documentaries

0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 2>is it's it's not really like we won't document, we'll

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>document the twenty three season, but it really was it's

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 2>really been building to this, like the story kind of starts.

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>If Sony went back and watched like the past two

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 2>years of One Just Drive or Flight twenty twenty one

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:15.279
<v Speaker 2>and twenty twenty two, it's like you kind of see

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.279
<v Speaker 2>what's what's been happening here. And I think that's that's

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of the cool thing is you know, we get

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to tell these stories, and you know, I

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 2>really like my goal with one JD Films was to

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 2>create like a thirty for thirty style umbrella here that

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you know allowed us to tell, you know, do more

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 2>than just one Just Drive, do more than Flight, And

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:35.800
<v Speaker 2>we have some really unique stories coming out around the

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame and Breese Hall's you know, Road to

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Recovery and things like that. So in the diards as

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned, So there's there's just a lot coming and

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think, you know, it's for me growing

0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 2>up a sports fan, this has been a dream for

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>me to like be able to kind of like tell

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 2>these stories and and help this organization kind of you know,

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>build this brand.

0:36:56.200 --> 0:37:00.239
<v Speaker 1>Give us a timetable on the Breeze Recovery episode, yeah,

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>because that's something new. Yeah, we haven't done that prior

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 1>as far as an organization, as far as the content

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 1>crew to kind of chronicle somebody's reheab process.

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this project is probably the one I'm most excited

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:17.240
<v Speaker 2>about that we've ever done here because I think fans

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 2>are going to get a really unique look at, you know,

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a recovery. And it's not just it's months and months

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 2>of shooting by our crew. You know. It's a credit

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.400
<v Speaker 2>to bree who honestly like we approached him, you know,

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:31.479
<v Speaker 2>in the season and we said kind of like, hey,

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 2>would you be open to us kind of like documenting

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 2>your recovery and he said yeah, and it really kind

0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>of started from there. You have to buy and from

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the player, but then you also have to buy and

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 2>from the staff, you know, so Dave's aufalleto you know,

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:50.480
<v Speaker 2>his crew downstairs. The training staff has been all in

0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:55.439
<v Speaker 2>on us kind of showing Breee coming back, and it's

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:57.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be a you know, a documentary that you know,

0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 2>comes out when he returns to the field, because we

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.399
<v Speaker 2>need to be able to tell the story fully. Yeah,

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 2>but I think you know, fans are gonna just it's

0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 2>just gonna be more access than they've probably ever seen

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:15.320
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what it's like, you know, the long days.

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:19.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, a rehab session lasts you know, usually around

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 2>like three hours, and our crew will be in there

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 2>the entire time. You capture the struggle, you capture you know,

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the moments. But we're also gonna tell Breece's story, you know.

0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:31.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think that's the cool part is it's

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 2>not just gonna be the rehab. It's going to be

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:34.959
<v Speaker 2>who he is as a player. And obviously we saw,

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, how great of a player Brese you know

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 2>is and can can be in the league last year,

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:44.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think everyone was so devastated when he went down.

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 2>But I think seeing his road back I think it's

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna be something very special for fans.

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:53.759
<v Speaker 1>All right, Really gracious with your time, because you've got

0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to start getting after episode two. I got a couple

0:38:57.360 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>quick ones before we get out of here. A lot

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of people are very interested in what you guys are

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>doing right now, from the long form, the documentary style

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>content and what an elite level this is produced at.

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:18.839
<v Speaker 1>And they're very interested as far as college kids or

0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:21.319
<v Speaker 1>high school kids and saying, well, I want to get

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>into that kind of industry. I want to get involved

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:29.719
<v Speaker 1>in production with ever changing content world. What kind of

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 1>advice do you give people who are in college right now,

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 1>and maybe can you shed some light on your background

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and how it helped you get to this point.

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I graduated. I graduated from Penn Sdatey in

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight and didn't really know what direction

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:48.560
<v Speaker 2>my career was going to go. Was fortunate to, you know,

0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 2>get hired by Guido Dliya, who you know at Penn Sades,

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 2>the the white al guru. He's kind of like the

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 2>marketing genius behind all of that, and he really was

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a mentor to me and really kind of set my

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 2>career on the right path. But like once I you know,

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of started to see what direction my career would

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 2>go in terms of you know, I always wanted to

0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 2>work in sports. I always wanted to be around football,

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I've you know, worked in college sports

0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of years in the SEC and Penn

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 2>State and you know, obviously, and then get a job

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 2>at the Jets in twenty fourteen. You know, I think

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 2>for anybody let's coming out of college and you know,

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 2>looking for what's next, I think it's important to be

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:35.919
<v Speaker 2>open minded. It's important to learn as much as you can.

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 2>It's important to you know, not necessarily be focused on

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.840
<v Speaker 2>where you're working, but what you're doing. You know. I

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 2>think there's a lot you know, I worked for a

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:48.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of like smaller companies you know, prior to the Jets,

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's an important part of it is.

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I think you can be like I want to work

0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:54.360
<v Speaker 2>for NFL Films or I want to work for ESPN,

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>but it you might be a you know, a small

0:40:57.800 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 2>fish in a big pond there. You might not necessary

0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:02.960
<v Speaker 2>be like learning all the skills you need to do it.

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 2>So I always tell people, like, look at what a

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 2>job description is for, you know, a position you might

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 2>want five or six years down the road and start

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 2>to kind of think about the skills you're learning, you know,

0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 2>so by the time you get to a spot where

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:18.879
<v Speaker 2>you want to apply somewhere that you can be doing

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 2>that job, you have all the necessary tools to do it.

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:25.879
<v Speaker 2>You know. I think, you know, first and foremost here

0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 2>is like we're looking for, you know, ultimately, the most

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 2>creative people that are great storytellers, because I think you

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people are, you know, great editors,

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:39.400
<v Speaker 2>great shooters, But I think combining all that to be

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 2>able to tell a story is what's going to be

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the key, you know, And I think that's that's really

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:48.080
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing. But I my biggest piece of advice

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 2>is be ready to get turned down for a lot.

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I got to turn down for a lot of jobs

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 2>prior to you know, coming to the Jets. I can't

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I can probably name most of them, you know, and

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:57.879
<v Speaker 2>you know it was it was hard at the time

0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to take. But I think every less and you learn

0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 2>from those is you know, ultimately you're gonna end up

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 2>where you're supposed to be. And I think for me,

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:09.359
<v Speaker 2>like it's obviously it's just been a dream come true

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for me to be able to like work in the NFL,

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, we we want people here, and you know,

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you feel the same way that their dream

0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:18.440
<v Speaker 2>is to be here. You know you want to you know,

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to me, like every day driving in here, I still

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 2>feel a little a little bit like, man, like this

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:24.919
<v Speaker 2>is pretty cool. Like I get to, you know, work

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Jets and you have so many people that

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.359
<v Speaker 2>will like tell you, you know, wow, like that must

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 2>be like the coolest job, and it, honestly is. It's

0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of long hours. Sports is hard. You work nights, weekends, holidays.

0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 2>But I think at the end of the day, you

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 2>have to love what you do, and I think that's

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that's the biggest part of this. So I think anybody

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 2>that wants to be in sports, like just keep climbing,

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, be ready to get turned down. But then ultimately,

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:54.320
<v Speaker 2>like just try to get your foot in the door somewhere.

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Your love shines through in your product favorite shoots of

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.839
<v Speaker 1>all time as far as away from one, Jets Drive,

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>what's got to be up there maybe top two or three,

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and then your favorite episodes does Rogers are already vault

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to one at this point, so do shoots first and

0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 1>then do episodes.

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Spot caught me off guard with this one. You know,

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think back. I mentioned the Blall Pal

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 2>shoot before. That was one of the first big documentaries

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 2>we did, where it was, you know, he had an

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 2>incredible backstory. He went through a lot as a kid,

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think he was one of the first to

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 2>really kind of like opened up to us in terms

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 2>of telling his story. And I think that's really the

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.839
<v Speaker 2>base of One. Jets Drive and everything else are kind

0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:42.719
<v Speaker 2>of those documentaries we did before before that. So it's

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of cool for me to even look back, like

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:46.759
<v Speaker 2>we did a shoot at Josh McCown's house, which was,

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, somebody that's played for so many teams and

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:52.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, things like that and had this crazy career.

0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think Dance mccowsi has a picture of

0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:57.320
<v Speaker 2>me holding all of his jerseys as a part of

0:43:57.360 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the production. But it's Josh came up to us after

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 2>that came out. I said, I can't tell you how

0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it if I am of of that, you know,

0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 2>of you guys doing this piece. But favorite episodes, that's

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:13.520
<v Speaker 2>a that's a hard one.

0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:17.560
<v Speaker 1>You picking your favorite children, right. I mean, but I'm

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 1>putting you on the spot here.

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably say episode four of Flight twenty two, just

0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 2>because you know, there was so obviously so much build

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 2>up to that draft and it really kind of we

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 2>got blessed by the doc Odds at Night where you know,

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Joe trades up for Jermaine and we were able to

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of tell that story full circle. It was so

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:41.080
<v Speaker 2>cool to see and we had so many you know,

0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:44.800
<v Speaker 2>big personalities in that you know episode with Sauce and Garrett,

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Jermaine and even national media Adam Schefter, you know, you

0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a rap report. There were so many others a part

0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 2>of that you know production process. I think it was

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:56.319
<v Speaker 2>really cool. But honestly, like there's probably so many like

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:59.080
<v Speaker 2>one just drive episodes I can go back to and

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and think about, you know, they were my favorite in

0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:05.840
<v Speaker 2>their own way, but obviously, like I think the you know,

0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the episode with with Aaron from this past weeks is

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:10.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be up there just because of you know

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:14.280
<v Speaker 2>what it meant for everybody in the excitement around the fans.

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:16.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, man, well you got a lot of work

0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to get after episode two. It's gonna chronicle the twenty

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty three New York Jets Draft and then ninety of

0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:30.920
<v Speaker 1>episode three, Flight twenty three Accession still yet to be shot,

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:32.680
<v Speaker 1>so you.

0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Got a ways to go here. It's like I think

0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.400
<v Speaker 2>people probably think we take a breath after, you know,

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 2>episode one, but we're our crews grinding back there. So

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:40.839
<v Speaker 2>there's two good episodes to come.

0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Thanks brother, Thanks Yeah,
