Speaker 1: a lot worse. I could. I could have a real

12
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: job right now, right, So yeah, I'm trying to. I

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: don't consider this a real job. Uh, trying to trying

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: to do this as long as I can. What is

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: this training camp experience? Been? Like a rookie coming in here,

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: We're four days in, we're two days into the pads

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: as well. It's been great. Uh. You know, there's competition

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: levels very high on both sides of the ball. Defense.

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: They're doing a great job making us better receiver wise.

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: We've had we've had a few good days and we're

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: trying to just that's our goals to stat good days

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: on top of each other and get better every day. Um.

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: A lot of learning for me, just trying to get

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: in a groove of things and get get on a

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: roll and like I said, get better each and every day,

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: work on little things that I need to. And I'm

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: blessed to have some great veteran not only receivers, but

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: men that uh I can follow after and learn from them.

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: And I try to stoke up all the information I can.

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: You get a heck of a wide receiver's room with Keenan,

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Allen Tyrelle, and Mike William Travis, Benjman list goes on

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: and on. What specifically have you gotten from those guys

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: that you've taken to camp? Yeah, Um, you know, I

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of Tyrrell and um, Jeremy and Mike,

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: just the bigger guys, and and see how they release

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: and run routes and and get open. Um. So I'm

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: watching them on them on every rep, whether it be

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: routes on their or team or one on ones. Just

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: trying to take little things and applying to my game.

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: The speed of the game. Everyone talks about a rookie

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: getting adjusted to the speed of the game after four days. Here,

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that. Yeah, you know, at

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: first it's a little bit faster, guys, you're just you're

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: playing with the best of the best. Um. But once

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: you get out of that initial shock of you know

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: your environment, and just once you start getting more comfortable football,

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: football is football at the end of the day. Um,

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, balls in there, we go, try to make

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: a play, try to get open, um, so you get

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: used to it and calm down a little bit, get

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: those rookie jitters out sure, and start getting a little

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: more comfortable. So those catches you've made, men, whether it's

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: in in one on one drills or you know, eleven

54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: on eleven has been very impressive the past couple of days.

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: When you make a play like that, do you get

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: more confidence with each rep? Yeah, no doubt. Um, you

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: know that's the thing. No matter what you do the

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: play before, we try to throw it out. You know,

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: if you might mess up on an assignment or miss

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: a block or just a little things like that, just

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: throw it out new play. Um. But yeah, definitely you

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: get a good play and and having the fans here

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: and crowds here, and uh, it definitely helps the confidence. Um,

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm just trying to get on

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: a roll and get better each and every day. Yeah,

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: what's the biggest thing that surprised you about this whole

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: NFL experience? Now that you had, you know, you had

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: a worldwin of an offseason, you can get drafted by

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you got rookie minicamp, all the off field obligations,

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: and now you finally here we are, you know, a

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: week and change away from the first preseason game. What's

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: been the biggest surprise of all this that that maybe

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: you weren't expecting coming out of college. Um, really just

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: how humble everyone is and how down to earth and

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: just great guys people are in great teammates. You know,

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: you get this false stereotypes in your head of when

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: you grow up watching these guys and you think that

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna you're coming in like Philip Rivers and Joey

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Bosa and guys that are like top top players in

80
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: the league, and they're gonna just be cocky and not

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: even want to talk to you. And but everyone is

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: just so down to earth, great guys, super easy to

83
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: talk to, try to help each other, try to help

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: the rookies. The vets try to help the rookies and

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: get to know and we just have a really close

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: knit group. And I think that's being the biggest surprise

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: is just guys. Guys are normal, great dudes, and uh,

88
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: they're just good at football too. You're not the only

89
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: rookie that said that. I talked to you Chenna Nuoso

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: about that a few weeks ago, and I asked him

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: pretty much that same question, and he said that it's

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: not like that at all. No, and it might be

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: that way other places. I think we're really blessed to

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: be here, and I honestly just to feel I get

95
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: around the locker room and around the facility and just

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: the high character guys we have on the team and

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: how close everyone is with each other. I know it's

98
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: not like that everywhere. Yeah, And so, like I said,

99
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: we're really I'm really blessed to be here and happy

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: to be here. Are you surprised at the talent level

101
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers on this team? You mean you

102
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: talk about Keenan's footwork and Mike's size and the way

103
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: he can high point a ball, just just those things

104
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: that you may not necessarily see in college. Yeah, for sure. UM,

105
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: And I think it's a testament to the work that

106
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: they put in and um, the attention to detail and uh,

107
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: guys been in you know, been in the year four

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: or five six league, four or five six years, um,

109
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: getting better every year, taking care of their bodies, just

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: doing every all the little things right. Um, and it

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: pays off and it shows. Um. But definitely when you

112
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: see those when you see keenan route somebody up and

113
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: getting wide open, he has like unguardable, he has a

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of natural ability, but he works his tail off too,

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and all those guys do. UM. So there's a lot

116
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: that goes on behind the scenes that that people don't see. Um.

117
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: But it's it's definitely rewarding and and fun to watch

118
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: those guys work out there. Is there anything specific that

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: you want to work on after the first four days

120
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: in camp that you maybe you have seen on tape. Yeah,

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: two biggest things just continue to get my routes crisper. Uh.

122
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: You know, I'm running a lot of different routes than

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: I did in college, and that I've got to get.

124
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting comfortable and used to running these different routes

125
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: and and getting open um and then just continue to

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: learn the offense and get that down as as much

127
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: as possible, which it's coming down and it's I mean

128
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot slower than it was during sure

129
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: OTAs in mini camp, that's for sure. Um. But when

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting in these moved the ball periods and

131
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: not they're not scripted and we're on the fly more

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: game like situation. Just staying calm and being confident, playing confident. Um,

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. Last thing, you get your guy

134
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Nick Schumann k here. How great has it been to

135
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: go through that experience with him just throughout mini camp?

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Now you got him here at training camp as ball. Yeah,

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Uh. I still remember during the draft

138
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: he called me towards the end and said that it

139
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: was after I got drafted and he said, if no

140
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: one gets me in these last few picks, I'm I'm

141
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm coming there. And so where we've been were roommates

142
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: for six weeks during OCAs. Where roommates Now it's great

143
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: training camp so um, trying to study in the room

144
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: every night and bounce ideas off of each other. And

145
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: help each other out. And it's really good to have

146
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback mind in my room at night with me

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: andound stuff off each other. Yeah, and just see how

148
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: how the quarterbacks think, and of course and what he

149
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: picks up from the quarterback room from Philip, and how

150
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: he likes to see things and read things and so um.

151
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, just trying to soak up as much

152
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: knowledge and information as like him. Deal in great start,

153

00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: what Backstage Charge is all about. So this show is

177
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: going to be really awesome. It's gonna be really cool.

178
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. Yeah, if you're a Charger fan,

179
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: an NFL fan, whoever you are, I really think this

180
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: show is going to be for you for a variety

181
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: of reasons. And I think first, before you can look

182
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: at our show specifically, it's important to note where it

183
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: comes from. So starting with Hard Knocks. Hard Knocks is

184
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: the show that's storytelling. It's documentary style. It goes off

185
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the field to players, but you have great access that's

186
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: under training camp. Then there's All or Nothing shot in

187
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: season by Amazon. Yeah, it was Cowboys this year, Cowboys

188
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: last year. Yep. I'm not sure. No one knows who

189
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: does it until after the season ye, and then it's

190
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: released like in March. So what we're doing is we're

191
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: taking elements from what we've seen there, put our own

192
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: spin on it, and then obviously tying into the backstage

193
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: Dodgers and backstage Lakers brand that already exists in this

194
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: market and is an incredible brand created by the Spectrum

195
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Sports that folks, And we're taking all this, putting our

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: spin and then churning out our show, which is essentially

197
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: documentary style show. It's gonna be vewed, it's gonna be

198
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: driven by players, stories on and off the field, access

199
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: everything this is. This show is going to be in

200
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: real time a story about this team like never before done.

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: And actually it is the first of its kind in

202
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League, which is really exciting to do

203
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: this and be the first group to do this. It's

204
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: innovative and none of this can be done without that

205
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: sign off right from ownership from football Apps, Tom Tolesco,

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn. What was it like working with those guys

207
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: this offseason to get to this point now. So before

208
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: we even get to the football guys, there was so

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: much approval and work that had to be done before

210
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: we even got there. So first, you know, Josh Rupec,

211
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: vice president of public Relations, brought this idea to us,

212
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: and it's an incredible idea. So first him and Jeffrey Pollock,

213
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: Chief Marketing and Tragy Officer, one of my bosses who

214
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: has been ridiculously supportive through all this and for some

215
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: reason continues to believe in whatever I'm trying to do.

216
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: And I'm very lucky. I think everybody sees the vision Jayson,

217
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: so you know, he's been incredible and helping us get

218
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: the support we need. And Joel Price, Sunior director of Content,

219
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: has been incredible, one of my bosses. So first and

220
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: foremost it started there. Ownership had to get involved everyone

221
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and everyone bought into this really cool concept. Then from

222
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: there we brought it. Once we had everything solidified, we

223
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: went to football. And you know, I've I've known coach

224
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: Lynn since our jet stays. I was just an intern,

225
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: little intern back in two thousand and nine when we

226
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: started working together, not really together, but I was there

227
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: holding a boompole at Hard Knocks and He's just a

228
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: great guy. I've known his son for years. Coach Len's

229
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: awesome and he was really open to this, and Tom too.

230
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom's been awesome. You know, I've worked at

231
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: another organization and I've never had relationships like this with

232
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: the football side. This whole organization is so open and

233
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: just wants to have conversations and do the best they can.

234
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: And Tom has been incredible throughout this because they could

235
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: easily just be like, no way. Yeah. So what into

236
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: adjacent when we talk about all acts? I mean, you

237
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: guys are in meetings, you have players and coaches miked up.

238
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: What goes into all this? So Mike dops, Yes, So

239
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: here's a couple of things that are for sure happening.

240
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: We're going to be in the team meeting room every week,

241
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: and let's explain what that is. So the football week

242
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL starts on Wednesdays, So coach brings the

243
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: whole team together and talk to them about the week.

244
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: You've seen this in all or nothing. Probably we're going

245
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: to be in there. How much we use we'll see,

246
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: but we'll be in there. We'll have audio and no

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: one else is going to be doing that. So that's

248
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: really cool. We can be off the field whenever we

249
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: want with a player, coach, we can be. We can

250
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: mike up players during the week at practices, will make

251
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: them up at games, will be in the locker room,

252
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: will be in the locker room, pregame, will be in

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: the locker room. Post game. We're gonna be everywhere. We

254
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: can ride with players wherever we need to go. They've

255
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: given us all the key points, and you know, working

256
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: in an organization, that's basically all the points every that's

257
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the touch points, you know, and we got all of them.

258
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: There's really nothing they said no to. And the conversation

259
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the one we actually have when we were discussing this

260
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: with Tom and Coach, I wasn't even in the building.

261
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: I was up in Los Angeles. I was having dinner

262
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: with my family there in town, and I'm just sitting

263
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: in my car and I was just fist pumping the

264
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: whole time. I'm just stoked, I was. I mean, I

265
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: wasn't shocked, but I was. I'm not even shocked by

266
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: that because Tom and Coach have been so awesome and

267
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: that comes though from a trust that's been built starting

268
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: with Josh and Jeffrey and what they built as a

269
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: relationship with coach and Tom. I'm just lucky to build

270
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: to tie myself to those two. If you don't have

271
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: that access, you can't tell these amazing stories. And you

272
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: mentioned backstage Dodgers, backstage Lakers. These have been staples within

273
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Spectrum Sports that for several years now. But you also

274
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: mentioned Hard Knocks and All or Nothing. This is the

275
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: first of its kind and that this is in season Jason,

276
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: so fans, essentially this is going to be kind of

277
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: like a companion to the twenty eighteen season. You're you're

278
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to live the twenty eighteen season

279
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: alongside the team, essentially in real time. That's really the

280
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: way to look at it. That's how we're pitching it,

281
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: and that's the plan because, like I said, the difference

282
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: with Hard Knocks are all or Nothing or anything else

283
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: being done by anyone else, It's not done in real time.

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: This way, we are releasing a show like this in

285
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: the moment it is happening. Now. It's bi weekly, so

286
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: things would have already happened, right, but you're seeing things

287
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: you've never seen before in the middle of when it

288
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: is happening. And that is done for variety reasons. One,

289
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: it's unique, it's never been before done. There's some cash

290
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: aid to that, But really the reason why we like

291
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: it is about the stories. This gives us an opportunity

292
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: to tell the story of the player, at the coach,

293
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: whoever in this organization when it's actually happening to them.

294
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: And that is special because a lot of times you

295
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: see documentaries and whatever, you see it after the fact.

296
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: We're going to get what these guys when it is

297
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: happening to them. Take a guy like Austin Ekeler last year,

298
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: he goes through this rise. No one's expecting it. Right.

299
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: If we were there it, you would have seen so

300
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: much about Austin as this was happening to him. And

301
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: that's a perspective you can only get once in a

302
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: perspective we are truly lucky to get. Well, that's the

303
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: beauty of it too. You have no idea where this

304
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: is going, right, we can talk about storylines. Of course,

305
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be a skeleton to this. Yes, but

306
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: you say like that it's scary, but it's true though.

307
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Like let's use Austin as an example. At this time

308
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: last year, no one knew who Austin Eckler was right.

309
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: He was fifth or six on the depth chart at

310
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: the running back position. Makes the team makes an impact

311
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, five hundred totally yards. No one knew who

312
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: this guy was going into this, so you know, essentially

313
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: in two or three weeks we could be talking about

314
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: the next Austin Eckler, you know, after talking about all

315
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: these Pro Bowlers and household names that we already know

316
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: on offense and defense. Right, so the first episode, which

317
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: is recapping all training camp and where the first week

318
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: in September, that show is basically lined up. I could

319
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: take a shot by shot basically right now. No, now, yeah, yeah,

320
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of cool storylines that we're be touching

321
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: upon through these players that with some access, it's gonna

322
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: be awesome. But for the rest of the episodes, so yes,

323
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: we don't really know what is going to happen with

324
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: this team. That's what makes it great. We're just there

325
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: to cover it. But we understand the pivot points, and

326
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: we understand the access points, and we understand generally speaking,

327
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: how we're going to put the show together. Then it's

328
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: just plugging in storylines and from there, where does the

329
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: storyline go. The thing that's going to make this show great,

330
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I believe is that everything we do is tied to

331
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: how the team is doing and who is playing well.

332
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: It's the storylines that are happening in real time. That's

333
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. So, yes, we know that in

334
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: like whatever week we play the Pittsburgh Steelers, we know

335
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: we're covering Derek Watt and Mike Pouncey because they have

336
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: brothers on the Steelers. We know that's a storyline we're

337
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: going to cover. We know that's a unique way to

338
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: cover that game no matter what. But and we have

339
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: that built in to every week, all these different things.

340
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: But that game could have added juice, it could be

341
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: something for home field advantage. You know, we don't know

342
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, right, and if it is, you just

343
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: add more on, right, You build in more to that

344
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: that one game in the show. And that's what's going

345
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: to be really cool about it is we have twenty

346
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: two minutes and thirty seconds per two weeks to do

347
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: what we want with and tell the points that are

348
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: most important. But good we look at it, Chris would

349
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: be like a guy like Drwin James. So Durwin is

350
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: drafted and he's here because he's a great player. Right.

351
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: But I think if you talk to any expert, and

352
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: this is not from any when in the building has

353
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: said this, but if you just listen to analysts, they say,

354
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: the big reason why Drwin James is here Chargers need

355
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: to stop Travis Kelsey, right exactly. So Week one, we

356
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: play the Kansas City Chiefs and we'll play them again

357
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: later on Saturday or Thursday, Thursday night, Ursay night in

358
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Lay in the year probably gonna be a

359
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: big one at some point. That storyline of Travis Kelsey

360
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: versus Drwin James or Drwin's role in stopping Travis Kelsey

361
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: is a storyline, but it's to the week, so it's

362
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: not a random story. It's a story that will develop

363
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: about Derwin, but it will come directly from what is

364
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: happening in the week. And that could be with players emerging,

365
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: That can be with guys stepping up when someone gets

366
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: hurt because unfortunately, injuries are going to happen and we're

367
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there to cover it all. So it's really exciting.

368
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a way to tell

369
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: stories in season tied to what's happening. That's a special thing.

370
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really cool. This is for Chargers fans

371
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: first and foremost. But Jason, I'm a football fan, right

372
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: I watch Hard Knocks every August. I don't care if

373
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: it's the Cleveland Browns, I don't care. I it's a

374
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bankus. I watch All or Nothing with the Cowboys,

375
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals religiously. You know that that's something that

376
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: I watch as a casual football fan. So even though

377
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: this is obviously catered to the Charger fan, the casual

378
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: football fan in Los Angeles, with the casual football fan

379
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: watching on Facebook is gonna have access to this. Yes,

380
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: that look quite simply, we're trying to create the best

381
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: piece of content, and this type of show should cut

382
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: through the noise. There's a lot of content out there.

383
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: It's a saturated marketplace across everywhere, Twitter, Social, the whole

384
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: social sphere is just a lot of content, a lot

385
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: of video content. So how do you cut through the noise?

386
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: You try to create something a little unique and different,

387
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: and we think this story could be very unique and different.

388
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: Something I think that's interesting about this, And we talked

389
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago. You're not calling

390
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: these episodes, you're calling them chapters. What's the reason for

391
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: calling this a chapter as opposed to an episode. Well,

392
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: the first thing is just because it's a story. So

393
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: if we're going to tell a story, let's call them chapters.

394
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: That's really the first thing and and really the main

395
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: thing from it when we looked at it. You know,

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: there are episodes, we get it, but they're really chapters

397
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: of a story told about this team. And I think

398
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: what's a really important This does not end after the season.

399
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: This will be bi weekly in season. If we make

400
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: the playoffs, if knock on wood, hopefully we're talking about

401
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: let's go, let's get in the playoffs. We're gonna be

402
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: rolling this stuff out in the playoffs, which will be

403
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: really cool, hopefully all the way through the Super Bowl,

404
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: who knows, and put then we're back in the off season.

405
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of it. I mean, fans are going

406
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: to see the draft, combined free agency every part of

407
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: the off season. We're gonna be there. We're gonna be

408
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: home with players at their hometowns. We're gonna be working

409
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: out with guys, be there when they're working out, will

410
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: be there for all of it capturing this story year round.

411
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: This is not a six month platform, This is not

412
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: a six month home. This is a year round content

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: branding done by our organization. I know how hard your

414
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: crew works. They do amazing work on chargers dot Com.

415
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: How much preparation has gone into this, just getting all

416
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: your guys ready to rock before training camp. This started

417
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: in January. Brought this Josh and Jeffrey asked me about

418
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: this back in January. And it's been a long ride

419
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: to get where we are right now, and we still

420
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: have a long way to go. But this started in

421
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: January just simply put could we do it? And if

422
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: we could, what did we need to pull it off?

423
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: And it was a lot of stuff, and the organization

424
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: has got in us everything we need to pull this off,

425
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: so there's no excuses. We got to deliver. So we

426
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: started in January. Now we're seven months later and this

427
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: has been, you know, a big part of my life.

428
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: This has been my main objective for the last seven months.

429
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: Is first thing for me. I had to grasp the

430
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: stories and just how we wanted to build this video content.

431
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: What was our style, the technique in shooting and editing

432
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: and everything we do when do we use music when

433
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: we don't? When do we not? When is there not sound?

434
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: How do we shoot this interview and posted this interview?

435
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: How does this hi into this? How do we use

436
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: the storylines that tied into each other? Where does the

437
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: vo come in? So we spent a lot of time

438
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: looking at all the technical sides of this. From there,

439
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: we started looking at the stories, get the equipment, the staffing,

440
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: and everything kind of rolled together. But this is something

441
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: like you said, like I said, back to January. But

442
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: during all that time, our content has been great, and

443
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: that is because of my remarkable staff that we're still

444
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: adding to. We've added one more big crush it man. Yeah,

495
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: of you during the twenty eighteen There's no reason to

496
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: have me on this podcast Ricky and Haley all day,

497
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, behind the scenes. I uh, if it's

498
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: all hey listen, if it's in demand, I have to ask.

499
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: I have to ask the question. So the people are

500
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: not going to be asking for this. I the people

501
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: are not. If you see anyone on Facebook but with

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: like a pe Levine, that's my mom. She might be

503
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: asking for it. Or my dad, who is definitely not

504
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: on social media but is figuring out the Facebook watch

505
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: thing as we speak, and is figuring out the TV

506
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: so they can watch, they'll be ready. But if you

507
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: hear anything from that from the Levine family, uh, that's

508
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: that's just them asking for me. But good well, you

509
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: can also just talk on the phone. No man. In

510
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: all seriousness, though, this is gonna be awesome. If you're

511
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: a casual football fan, you're gonna have an appetite for this.

512
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: If you're a Chargers fan first and foremost, this is

513
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna be your companion to the twenty eighteen season. And

514
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: we can't wait to get it going September sixth. I

515
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: can't wait, man, September six on the Spectrum September seventh

Speaker 1: on Facebook watch bi weekly throughout the season, continuing all offseason.

517
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: And again, I would be remiss if I did not

518
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: think the organization for their support in doing this top

519
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: to bottom. This took a lot of work and there's

520
