Speaker 1: episode number two. We got two of our favorite Vikings
Speaker 1: players joining the show, mister Eric Hendricks and mister Jordan
Speaker 1: Hicks Fellas. Thank you for joining first and foremost. Secondly, Eric,
Speaker 1: you've been a part of the show I think three
Speaker 1: or four times last year, first time with a guest.
Speaker 1: So you know august thing I was. I was telling
Speaker 1: the backstage he'd better not mess it up. So we've
Speaker 1: already had our conversation. We're good to go. He's prepped,
Speaker 1: We're ready, all right, whoa like like? We all know
Speaker 1: we start this thing off of trivia, but today we
Speaker 1: want to do it a little bit different. We want
Speaker 1: to do two truths and a lie. So Eric, we're
Speaker 1: gonna start with you. We got a cute card in
Speaker 1: front of both of you. Guys. There are three sentences
Speaker 1: on that card. Jordan, it is up to you to
Speaker 1: figure out which two sentences are true and which one
Speaker 1: is a lie. All right, let's greeted out. What are
Speaker 1: the two truths in one lie about Ali and I's
Speaker 1: wedding This summer, we gave our guests the option to
Speaker 1: where pajamas at our On our wedding day, I crowd
Speaker 1: surfed and spilled juice on my tuxedo during the reception.
Speaker 1: We hired on site tattooed artists for the reception. Uh,
Speaker 1: the lie is the on site tattoo. Did you do that?
Speaker 1: We did that? You did? That is the lie that
Speaker 1: Ali crowd surfd. She did crowd I didn't crowdsurfed. I
Speaker 1: missed it, but I saw the pictures in the video.
Speaker 1: She might be a little easier to lift up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess she was just feeling it and crowdsurfed in
Speaker 1: her address where people getting tatoos at your wedding, people
Speaker 1: were getting tattoos. Parents were getting tattoos. M it's the
Speaker 1: one on your hand right when, right here on my finger,
Speaker 1: And then I got another one right here, number two?
Speaker 1: Second sibling? Nice? What was the best tattoo? The best tattoo?
Speaker 1: You know? Any tattoo stories? There are some good ones.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Like some people just left with tattoos.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm hoping these people were sober when they
Speaker 1: got these tattoos, right, I mean exactly what. Honestly, you
Speaker 1: know people will always remember our wading because they have
Speaker 1: a tat exactly. Wow. I have a lot to think
Speaker 1: about with my upcoming one man, I got yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: two truth and a lie about my playing days. Number one,
Speaker 1: I got locked inside US Bank Stadium with your brother
Speaker 1: Mike after winning the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Number two, I won the second ever Dick buckis my
Speaker 1: senior year of high school UM. And number three, I
Speaker 1: started my master's degree in advertisement while in college. I
Speaker 1: believe you're getting locks in the US Bank because I
Speaker 1: feel like it could be easily confused. I guess how
Speaker 1: to get out of the stadium, and that's the lot.
Speaker 1: But we feel like I've never gotten out of the
Speaker 1: stadium by myself. It's always been I've always been yeah right,
Speaker 1: So I don't know how I would get out of
Speaker 1: the stadium, but anyway, I would think the buckas thing
Speaker 1: is a long buckus is the truth? You won the
Speaker 1: second bookas in high school. Yes, won the second buckats
Speaker 1: in high school. The lie is the first one with
Speaker 1: your brother you really yeah, we we we did not
Speaker 1: get locked in. We had a big time celebration, a
Speaker 1: lot of champagne, a lot of cigars. But uh, in
Speaker 1: our stadium, in your stadium, in the in the locker
Speaker 1: room as well, in the same locker room, home locker room. Uh.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we were escorted it out with everybody. Good
Speaker 1: memories from there, Huh. Yeah, it's a good time. It's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That's this past game is the first time
Speaker 1: I was back playing a game in that locker room.
Speaker 1: Was it did come funning back to you at all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's kind of been like a process
Speaker 1: of of like when I signed here and then you know,
Speaker 1: we had a practice in the stadium and that was
Speaker 1: like the actual first time I've been back and then
Speaker 1: playing on the field, it was kind of Yeah, coming
Speaker 1: out that same tunnel, it was. It was interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was very interesting. It was fun. Were you at
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl game? Since it was I didn't Okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't go to the Super Bowl. I didn't really
Speaker 1: want to be there with the like we had just lost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch my brother, but I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be there around anybody else. I wanted to watch
Speaker 1: it on TV. I want to rewind it and be
Speaker 1: able to watch every like, Oh, let me see this
Speaker 1: play again, let me see it again, let me see
Speaker 1: the fourth time. And I just sat there by myself,
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed watching it by myself. One of the
Speaker 1: only super Bowls I've ever watched through and through, through
Speaker 1: and through. Amazing your family connection. You're not watching the
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. I don't know. It's been some good ones,
Speaker 1: not even for the commercials. Sometimes I don't know everybody good. Well,
Speaker 1: you guys are from the same draft class, yeah, and
Speaker 1: Eric Hendricks, Eric, you were thirty five picks or thirty
Speaker 1: nine picks before Jordan. Yeah, but obviously being the same position.
Speaker 1: Did you guys know of each other or anything about
Speaker 1: each other interact with each other before this? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: know for sure. I knew about him obviously because I
Speaker 1: played with his brother yea, and we came out the
Speaker 1: same year, so it was, you know, you always kind
Speaker 1: of keep up with your draft class, especially your position.
Speaker 1: And uh, he's always been, you know, somebody that I've
Speaker 1: always watched and really respected, and um, you know, it's
Speaker 1: been been dope being able to be here and you know,
Speaker 1: get to know him and get to play with him,
Speaker 1: So thanks bro absolutely. I'll also you know, um, I
Speaker 1: remember Jordan. Obviously we UCLA. We beat Texas that year,
Speaker 1: we went to the Combine and I remember us to
Speaker 1: just chatting at the combine, us like inside backers and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Um, we got drafted. You know, I've
Speaker 1: always watched him on film. He's the guy gets to
Speaker 1: the ball. Um has always had an ability to like
Speaker 1: get to the rock and make plays. Um. And yeah,
Speaker 1: now we got to play together. So it's pretty dope,
Speaker 1: all right, Jordan. What what similarities do Eric and his
Speaker 1: brother Michael have on and off the field? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: curse the foremost. They have a ton of energy, and
Speaker 1: it's it's part of like we've got the same man mannerisms,
Speaker 1: they talk the same, but their energy level is like
Speaker 1: through the roof and they are. It's it's funny because
Speaker 1: you when I first got here, it was like they're
Speaker 1: they're very different in their own ways and their own respects,
Speaker 1: but they're also very similar. So when I got here,
Speaker 1: it was like I see Mike in you, but you
Speaker 1: guys are really different. But yeah, their energy levels through
Speaker 1: the through the roof they have. There are several scouting
Speaker 1: reports that said, Jordan played similarly to your brother when
Speaker 1: you guys were going through the draft process. How do
Speaker 1: you see that reflected in how Jordan plays? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like we all just kind of like, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we're all traditional linebackers are kind of like
Speaker 1: two sixty two fifty, So you know, we're all kind
Speaker 1: of like unders side compared to the norm. I guess
Speaker 1: you could say more backers are not like that nowadays
Speaker 1: than not. But uh, um just are are are running
Speaker 1: to the ball and are not giving ourselves up in
Speaker 1: plays that we don't have to really give our give
Speaker 1: up on. Um. I think that's what we kind of all,
Speaker 1: um relate relate to Jordans. I know I'm getting a
Speaker 1: little off script here. I know you know a lot
Speaker 1: of fans know of Eric being here for so long,
Speaker 1: but the for fans who don't know who you are
Speaker 1: as the person, like, how would you describe yourself and
Speaker 1: like your story? I know what you're from, Colorado, moved
Speaker 1: to Indiana. You've moved a lot of different places before football.
Speaker 1: This football thing worked out for you. Yeah, Um, A
Speaker 1: lot of my story revolves around moving as a young kid. Um,
Speaker 1: basketball was my first love. Um, really didn't take football
Speaker 1: serious until junior year of high school and when I
Speaker 1: really realized I would had a future in it, went
Speaker 1: to the University of Texas and uh, at seventeen, went
Speaker 1: you know, my of miles across the country. Left Ohio
Speaker 1: and dealt with some injuries there, got drafted third round,
Speaker 1: had a good senior year, got drafted third round, had
Speaker 1: some injuries early in my career in Philly, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we came here when the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: went to Arizona and now I'm here, So in a nutshell,
Speaker 1: has changed your pace helped you get to this point
Speaker 1: in your career? I mean, I mean from different states,
Speaker 1: to different universities to life, Like, yeah, how has that
Speaker 1: shaped who you are today? Yeah? You got to learn
Speaker 1: to adapt, right. I feel like I've got a fairly
Speaker 1: good ability to adapt and to blend in and jail
Speaker 1: with my circumstances and make the most of it. And
Speaker 1: a lot of that comes from moving meeting new people.
Speaker 1: Football wise, I was I've been in a lot of
Speaker 1: different schemes through college. I had four different defensive coordinators
Speaker 1: and then got to the league and have I think
Speaker 1: I've had three or four in the League. So I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of different football, had to learn a
Speaker 1: lot of different things. So you know, ultimately you come
Speaker 1: in and now you learn differently. You learn in concepts, right,
Speaker 1: rather than oh, this is my job, this is you know.
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes great players. That learning process
Speaker 1: was something that Eric you had to kind of not
Speaker 1: re learn, but but it is something new for you
Speaker 1: this year. And obviously having Jordan in a three or
Speaker 1: four earlier in Philly before and you now maneuvering into that.
Speaker 1: I guess the La territory. I guess you could say,
Speaker 1: how has it been being able to have him to
Speaker 1: as a sounding board within your room? No, I think
Speaker 1: you nailed it. I think that you know, um, Jordan's
Speaker 1: been through a lot of defenses, like he's just explained,
Speaker 1: and he has the ability to adapt and kind of
Speaker 1: take what he knows from this team and apply it
Speaker 1: to us right now. Whereas when you know, the new
Speaker 1: different defense got introduced to me. You know, I've been
Speaker 1: playing in the system for eight years. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been kind of had drilled into this one system and
Speaker 1: things weren't clicking as easy for me. But he can
Speaker 1: kind of understand where I was at because he had
Speaker 1: played in a similar defense in that in that regard,
Speaker 1: and then he was able to you know, mess the
Speaker 1: two and we were able to communicate on those kind
Speaker 1: of terms because he sees things very similar to how
Speaker 1: I see things, and it's been real, real smooth. I
Speaker 1: would say, don't don't let him short change it though.
Speaker 1: He is one of the smartest backers I've been around,
Speaker 1: So his instincts and ability to pick it up is
Speaker 1: like top not top notch. Is what we're going to
Speaker 1: end segment one on because segment two I want to
Speaker 1: get into the nitty gritty of who you guys are
Speaker 1: and why you guys are here, So stay tuned. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. More on the audible presented by three
Speaker 1: M from the Field to the roof and everywhere in between.
Speaker 1: Three M, the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: is here. Visit Vikings dot com slash Skulls Science to
Speaker 1: learn more. We are back. This is the audible presented
Speaker 1: by three M, the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: Gabe Henderson here along so I Tatum every from Vikings
Speaker 1: dot Com. We got Eric Hendricks, Jordan Hicks, our two
Speaker 1: guests on the show and I Tatum brought up a
Speaker 1: good point earlier. You guys are both drafted in the
Speaker 1: same draft in twenty and fifteen, and I was doing
Speaker 1: some resource until that, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's see how how the numbers stack up against all
Speaker 1: the other linebackers selected in the draft. Oh, we got
Speaker 1: we got people. Yeah, you guys both lead your draft
Speaker 1: class in tackles, in sacks and interceptions. Nice. Nice in
Speaker 1: our whole draft class. Well, I think so you're number
Speaker 1: one in sacks. Yeah, you're number three, Eric, but everything. Oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are one in two. What do your credit
Speaker 1: what do you credit that success too? That's far in
Speaker 1: your career health, right, yeah, that's that's obviously number one.
Speaker 1: I think you can't you can't make plays if you're
Speaker 1: not on the field, right, instincts, instincts. I think it's
Speaker 1: for sure. You you too, you yea? Yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 1: feel the love between you two, which is really great
Speaker 1: because I think at the end of the day, when
Speaker 1: you think about joining two p full, I mean, you
Speaker 1: work together, you have to communicate, you have to be
Speaker 1: in this together, and knowing each other in your history
Speaker 1: and coming into this has to help but what have
Speaker 1: you learned about each other maybe in the short time
Speaker 1: you have that you didn't know before. And I'll start
Speaker 1: with you Jordan, it could be even something personal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we've had the opportunity to hang out off
Speaker 1: the field as well. Um, so I've I've you know,
Speaker 1: my wife, I've got a family, my wife and three kids. UM,
Speaker 1: me and my wife. We all go to dinner with
Speaker 1: his wife, him and his wife, and you know we've
Speaker 1: been able to connect off the field and get to
Speaker 1: know each other in that direction. Um and really, you
Speaker 1: know that builds even more connection on the field, right,
Speaker 1: That type of stuff off the field builds connection on
Speaker 1: the field. So, uh, that's been dope. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say this. I was gonna say the same thing. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got his super dad, you know, he has kiddos
Speaker 1: at home. But also he's been a husband. He's been
Speaker 1: a husband longer than I have, you know, so definitely,
Speaker 1: you know, talk about the good, the ups and downs,
Speaker 1: and it's great drama. Sometimes. Yeah, it feel like it's
Speaker 1: like a whole venting session. It's like you got you
Speaker 1: gotta quick vent all of it. You need those people
Speaker 1: in your life got to it and It's been what
Speaker 1: six months, right, I think when this show airs, it'll
Speaker 1: be six months since you signed this all season for
Speaker 1: being a Minnesota Viking. And during that short span, like
Speaker 1: Tatum just said, you guys have built that bond. But
Speaker 1: one thing that I know, I believe it was you, Jordan.
Speaker 1: You said this all season is like you guys, non
Speaker 1: verbal communication. It's next level. So like for fans who
Speaker 1: don't know what non verbal communication is for a linebacker,
Speaker 1: what does that look like? It looks like we both
Speaker 1: know something at the same time. You got it, We're
Speaker 1: good and it just happens. I mean, we've we had
Speaker 1: to play a practice. We're a man. Usually a man
Speaker 1: you don't work together, and it just so happened that
Speaker 1: you take my guy, take your guy, and it just
Speaker 1: worked out. It's like there's times when you got you
Speaker 1: got you playing with people that don't see it that
Speaker 1: way at all. When you know, you know, when you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, you gotta a big
Speaker 1: picture always you know. It's a it's a feel thing
Speaker 1: for sure, but then it's sometimes it's like a panic
Speaker 1: situation where you're lined up and you're like and you
Speaker 1: just make that look and then you know, you know,
Speaker 1: he's panicking just like and then it's like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: like we're both panicking. We might be able to figure
Speaker 1: this out. Yeah, so there's a sense of calm in
Speaker 1: the panic. Okay, you always got to stay calm, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's never really panic. It's just a lot of that
Speaker 1: nonverbal communication comes in those moments though, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, In the two minute, in the fast pace
Speaker 1: and the it's like you just gotta react and we
Speaker 1: work off each other. How much have you talked to
Speaker 1: Eric about this Monday night football game and return to
Speaker 1: Philly someplace that obviously it's pretty special to you, Jordan, Uh,
Speaker 1: we've talked, We've talked about it. Yeah, obviously, Um, he's
Speaker 1: been on this side of it, you know, obviously more
Speaker 1: than I have, so he honestly knows knows more about it, uh,
Speaker 1: and what to expect. This will be my first time
Speaker 1: back playing there, um since I've left. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a dope experience for me. Yeah, you think
Speaker 1: it'll be like, you know, I don't know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: it'll be It'll be a definitely a weird feeling being
Speaker 1: back in the city. The city is the city is
Speaker 1: one of a kind, um, and when you've been a
Speaker 1: part of it, it's you kind of have some type
Speaker 1: of pool towards you understand. You feel like you understand
Speaker 1: it because it's one of a kind. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: in terms of being there in the stadium, I really
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. It's probably I know what it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be angry, Yeah, hostile, it's gonna be, um,
Speaker 1: blue collar, it's gonna be. I think it's it's it's
Speaker 1: I love playing there. It's great. Like obviously, um, it's
Speaker 1: not a home game by any means. I love playing
Speaker 1: at home. But there's something about football when you're on
Speaker 1: the road. You know, you're in a hostile environment. You know,
Speaker 1: chips are stacked against you, and you get to go
Speaker 1: with your go out there with your brothers who've been
Speaker 1: you know, training with, working hard with and you guys
Speaker 1: get a real opportunity to prove yourself. Like it. It's
Speaker 1: beyond like you know, football, it's beyond like making plays,
Speaker 1: getting first down touchdowns. It's like, you know, it's fan
Speaker 1: base versus fan base. It's you know, it's monoi mono.
Speaker 1: It's pretty dope. Is there a sense of like, what
Speaker 1: is the I guess that I want to I don't
Speaker 1: want to say feeling, but what is that that thing
Speaker 1: right that when you go back home to either your
Speaker 1: hometown or your former team, that it kind of gets
Speaker 1: you up a little bit. I remember last year we
Speaker 1: played the Chargers and you were like, we had you
Speaker 1: on the audible. You just had this this energy about you.
Speaker 1: You can I can never play bad in California. I
Speaker 1: just refuse to pay. It's like I have to bring it,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like that's just how I feel,
Speaker 1: you know, It's just what I just any type of
Speaker 1: motivation I can get to get into go into the game,
Speaker 1: and any type of chip I can have on my
Speaker 1: shoulder or like you know, I was I think like
Speaker 1: the last game, I drove my grandpa's viper to the game,
Speaker 1: and I really used that, Like I really was thinking about, man,
Speaker 1: this is my grandpa's viper, Like I get to be
Speaker 1: able to drive this to the to the game. It
Speaker 1: was my dream to go to you know, play football,
Speaker 1: and you know, own this car. Now I'm like I'm
Speaker 1: doing it like bringing my family to the game a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I mean? It's like any
Speaker 1: type of like motivation you can you can bring. I
Speaker 1: feel like do it. You've been playing now for a while, Jordan,
Speaker 1: is there something similar that do you have done to
Speaker 1: help that motivation? Something that because you mean when you
Speaker 1: start to play for I'm sure you gotta start creative. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: you You're always find trying to find that the way
Speaker 1: to create that chip. Um, I mean, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be I won't have to really do much for this game.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be pretty. And it was actually that
Speaker 1: way when I was in Philly, always playing in Dallas, right,
Speaker 1: it was always that same way. Um, I always had
Speaker 1: my best games against Dallas. But just because I knew,
Speaker 1: you know, coming from Ut, everybody's watching. Everybody is is
Speaker 1: Texas fans. So um yeah, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 1: I try to honestly try to block out quite a
Speaker 1: bit of that and just clear my mind, um as
Speaker 1: much as I can, because you know, I've I give
Speaker 1: I get up. It doesn't matter how long I play.
Speaker 1: I get up for these games. And sometimes I just
Speaker 1: gotta tell myself to just take a breath, chill out,
Speaker 1: let's go go, go do your job. Because I know
Speaker 1: both of you guys love football, but Jordan, like, you're
Speaker 1: so even killed. Yeah, that like my thing. When when
Speaker 1: I was going to the Green Bay Packers name, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, like, Jordan's so even killed, Like he
Speaker 1: hasn't said anything, hasn't done anything. And then when you
Speaker 1: sacked there and Rodgers, you like gave this spiss pump
Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, let's dude, it's into it.
Speaker 1: So like, how would you describe your love for the
Speaker 1: game of football? Yeah, I mean football is Football has
Speaker 1: been my life, you know what I mean. I mean,
Speaker 1: for since I always ask people, actually this is a question.
Speaker 1: I asked people, how long you've been playing football? Right,
Speaker 1: Because when you get to this point in the NFL,
Speaker 1: usually most guys have at least been playing for ten
Speaker 1: plus years, right, And the thing, you've been playing this
Speaker 1: game for a decade. For me, it's been twenty years. Right.
Speaker 1: I've been playing football in my life for over twenty
Speaker 1: years now. And it's like I haven't done anything for
Speaker 1: twenty years, right, And this is it. And so football
Speaker 1: has been my life. And you know, I a lot
Speaker 1: to the game, a lot to my coaches and my teammates,
Speaker 1: and I love this game. I like I said, I
Speaker 1: get I get nervous. I get those butterflies before every
Speaker 1: single every single game. And as long as I've got that,
Speaker 1: I know there's there's that energy, there's that passion, you
Speaker 1: know that that you can feed off of. I agree
Speaker 1: right there, you still get nervous, Eric, Yep, absolutely, it's
Speaker 1: good though. Yeah, it makes you feel alive, you know.
Speaker 1: That's what like anytime, anytime where I'm really out there
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, things maybe hard things, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's like nothing will replace that feeling when
Speaker 1: you're on the field for me at least, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty special for sure. All Right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's leave the fans with a quick Philadelphia Eagles preview, right, Um,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is the guy over there that everybody talks about.
Speaker 1: Um for a defense or linebackers, where you're scheming Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: do you scheme him the way you scheme Lamar or
Speaker 1: is it more like a Toa or a Calu Murray?
Speaker 1: And why I would? I would say because because he
Speaker 1: is such a threat with his his legs, and the
Speaker 1: scheme is built for him to be able to pull
Speaker 1: the ball and run in the run game. Um, you
Speaker 1: definitely have to account for him, right, you can't go
Speaker 1: out there without accounting somebody to be on the quarterback run.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you have to treat him like
Speaker 1: a lamar. Um. I know, being with Kyler, he wants
Speaker 1: to sit in the pocket until he until he can't right,
Speaker 1: and he wants to he wants to throw for five
Speaker 1: hundred yards if he can. So, Um, yeah you might,
Speaker 1: you might have a better hands. I would completely agree.
Speaker 1: I would say it's more like a lamar. You know,
Speaker 1: they have run plays designed pullers designed to block for him, um,
Speaker 1: play actions designed to get a mismatch for him to
Speaker 1: run the ball essentially where you know Kyler's you know,
Speaker 1: not not really don't have run plays built for him.
Speaker 1: He may have a draw every once in a while
Speaker 1: where he drops back and then shoots to the gaps,
Speaker 1: but Kyler's more running on the on the pass, you know,
Speaker 1: then he makes his yards scrambling where it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have plays on Monday that are going to
Speaker 1: be designed for him to run the ball. Games. How
Speaker 1: much do they mean to you at this point in
Speaker 1: your career? Yeah, it's Monday night football. We've been watching
Speaker 1: Monday Night football since we were kids. Like, obviously a
Speaker 1: huge deal. But you don't have to put any more
Speaker 1: pressure on it. We don't as players, we don't have
Speaker 1: to put any more pressure on it because it's a
Speaker 1: high pressure environment already. You know, we're already playing the NFL.
Speaker 1: Every game matters significantly. And the proof is gonna be
Speaker 1: when we when we when we walk out on the
Speaker 1: field Monday night, it's not gonna be that's gonna be
