1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ozone podcast featuring Jaguars dot Com Senior 2 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: writer John Oser and Jaguars executive producer Dave the Canadis. 3 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: So this week doing something a little different. We're gonna 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: be intro produced you guys, if you will, when I've 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: been looking forward to I think it's an interesting Thanks 6 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: for the interesting podcast we have Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: JP Shatrick. I could go over their titles. They have 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: many titles with us, but it's really the Jaguars media family. 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: I think I think we all agree with that. And 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a chance to get to know them 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, to get their thoughts on the Jaguars season, uh, 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: their thoughts on life in general, which I'm sure we're 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to his shatterck and it's just a chance 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: to look ahead of the season. So, without further ado, 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: let's talk some ball real quick. Everybody looking forward to 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: this season and are looking forward to season after the pandemic, 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: JP you start, you know, I hate to be a 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: Debbie Downer, but I'm a little skeptical of everything, um 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: leading up to this season so far? Are we even 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: gonna get to the end of the runway. Here is 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: my question, just watching everything with with baseball going on, 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: and then once they get to the season, how long 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: can they maintain the season. So you know, yes, I'm 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: excited for football, but I'm still sitting in this wood 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: panel room at my house and I haven't seen a 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: football player in person yet, so it's not really quite 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: hit home, I guess for me yet. I guess that's 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: my general feel this whole thing. Maybe that's a little 29 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of a downer, but that's just how 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: I feel right now. And you know, maybe that changes 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks when you're actually seeing some 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: contact on the practice field. Before Sam, let me clarify here, 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: this is a new role for me. Usually ASHLEYN, Bryan 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: and JP are interviewing John and I'm and I'm sort 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: of being, you know, the jackass for lack of a 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: better word. That's a good word. That's good. I get 37 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: to bring Brian and I get to cut Brian off, 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: which is the thing I'm really looking forward to today. 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: But Ashon, let's talk to you. You're the young person 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: in the group with the innocent perspective on life. Are 41 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: you optimistic? Are the young people who I always go 42 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: to you. You're one of the young people. Are the 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: young people optimistic about this thing allowing football to take place? 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: Or do you even talk to young people anymore because 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: you're always a question. Yes, I'm so used to talking 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: to you guys that I don't even get to talk 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: to any young people anymore. It stinks. But John, you're 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: doing a fabulous job hosting. So far, so good. I 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: must say that I think it's great to be optimistic, obviously, 50 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: and we all want football back, but I think you 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: definitely have to be realistic when you look at something 52 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: like this. I think, especially this generation, everyone was very 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: excited optimistic when we saw baseball comeback finally live spots, 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: and now you're seeing that is not going as well 55 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: as everyone had hoped going into three weeks into the season. Um, 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: So I think you've got to look at that and 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: then apply it to football. And you see the success 58 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: that the bubble is having with the m b A 59 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: and ratings are through the roof, and it's great to 60 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: have live basketball back. I think if you can meet 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle with the NFL and apply that 62 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: bubble lifestyle but also be realistic that this is football 63 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: it's a contact sport. Problems are going to happen, and 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: you just got to kind of see what happens and 65 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: roll with it day by day. Brian, I almost hesitate 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: to ask because I don't really think of you as 67 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: the eternal optimist. What is your take on I mean, 68 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: do you think there's a chance they finish up this season? Well, 69 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: first of all, compared to you, John, anybody is optimistic. 70 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just be honest. There's time to take 71 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: shots later. I'll be honest with you. I mean, baseball 72 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: is talking about quitting after just a couple of weeks. 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: So how in the world is football going to in 74 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: a much um closer games where can't be socially distant 75 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: from first to second to third base. How's football gonna 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: pull it off? Um? I'm not one of these people 77 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: that scared of this thing. I mean it to look 78 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: at we're already pulling Gardner Minshoe back to the the 79 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: active roster. I mean, this is not a deadly disease, 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: but from a political perspective, from a political correctness perspective, 81 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: and we all know the NFL is anything uh, it 82 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: is politically correct. They are not going to want to 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: be seen as spreading this virus. So they're gonna have 84 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: trouble because there's gonna be nothing but spread of this 85 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: virus in a game where men are laying on top 86 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: of each other. Yeah, unfascinated. See it turns out. I 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: think they'll find a place perhaps between the NFL, I 88 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: mean between the NHL in baseball, and they'll learn from mistakes. 89 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: But you just wonder even the most optimistic learning you 90 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: interdle play out. Well. I promised at the top we 91 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: would get to know you guys a little bit. I personally, 92 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm fine with the level that we all know each other. 93 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: But for the purposes of our of our readers, I'm 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: an old newspaper guy, So I say, readers or listeners, 95 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: give me a little bit, maybe one or two sentences each. Brian, 96 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: you can have five h on on your background, and 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: I guess, just tell me why are you in this business? Ashlyn? 98 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: When do you remember wanting to do this? And was 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: it always your dream to be in this business? This 100 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: was not the dream. I'm in this business it is 101 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: it is the dream, and you know, getting the host 102 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: shows with you, what could be better. I'm in this 103 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: business because I love ball, love talking ball, especially with 104 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: you guys. That's my favorite, especially when John is hosting. 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: My parents will tell you I'm in this business because 106 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: I was never good at anything else, not good in school, 107 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: not the greatest grades. But when it came to football, 108 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: I worked hard, really enjoyed what I was doing, and 109 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: this has been the dream ever since I was little. 110 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: I used to steal the sports page from my dad 111 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: and we big fights over that. It's always in football, 112 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: straight ball. As you would say, John, JP, same story. 113 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Different generation, Yeah, a little bit really, I mean a 114 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: generation ish earlier. Not that much earlier, I don't think, 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I grew up watching this Weekend 116 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: Baseball with Mel Allen right as the narrator and host. 117 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: And my dad had this this forty five record Shelenna 118 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: forty five is a smaller record album that you running 119 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: a faster speed on a turntable and then you hear 120 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: the audio through the speakers. So there was this cavalcade 121 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: who was a cavalcade of sports from like the forties 122 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: and fifties. My dad had it as a kid. Mel 123 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Allen narrated it and it had red barbered Dodger calls 124 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: on it from Brooklyn. It had horse race in Kentucky 125 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: derby highlights. It was a two sided deal and I 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: listened to that thing over and over and over. Then 127 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: I realized that mel Allen's from Birmingham, Alabama. I didn't 128 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: know that when I was that little. Um and then 129 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: watching football over the years, you know, Keith Jackson on 130 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: TV all the Alabama of my games go into the games, 131 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to do going into college, 132 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 1: was to be an announcer of some kind. I didn't 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: know what, but um, it started out in baseball and 134 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: then it's now moved over to football, and um, that's 135 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: really where the seed was planted. I think though, all 136 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: those all those old television and radio broadcast back when 137 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: I was young, just just wanting to do that. Brian, 138 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: you obviously a lot of people who are following this 139 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: note that you were the Jaguars voice from on. Uh. 140 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: You got the job very young. Was this something you 141 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: always wanted to do? Did you always think in the 142 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: NFL was going to be your path? Did you have 143 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: other sports? Just tell us about that. Well, I grew up. 144 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: You know, you and I are the same age, early fifties, 145 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: and so I grew up listening to the radio. Um, 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, we lived in the Midwest and everything was 147 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: a far drive, you know from whether we lived in 148 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: Kansas or Nebraska, or you know, we lived in Illinois 149 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: for a time. I'm you know, we were always driving 150 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: to see relatives. So I was listening to um, Jack 151 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: Buck do the Cardinals games on cam o X radio, 152 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: or Dan Kelly called the Blues games on cam o X. 153 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: And when we lived in Boston, I was listening to 154 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Most called the Celtics games. So for years and 155 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: years I listened to these guys tell stories. And I 156 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: like to talk, and I enjoy telling stories. Um. You know, 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: I go back to where Schlim was saying. She said 158 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: she's not really good at anything else. Well, you know 159 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: this is what we're best at, right. I'm best when 160 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm in front of a group of people or a 161 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: microphone telling a story. Um. So when I went to college, 162 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: my dad said to me, hey, look, you know, I 163 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: don't care what your study, but get a job where 164 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: you can sell something and raise a family. And I 165 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: said that sounds boring to me. I'm not doing that. 166 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to do something where I can talk. So 167 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: I went to the student radio station the first day 168 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: I was on campus, and I just I found that 169 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: I enjoyed talking about what was happening, telling people the 170 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: story of what was going on. Whether I was sitting 171 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: below the the high jump or the the pole vault 172 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: at the Kansas Relays, or I was doing a game 173 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: with the KU women's basketball team in Norman, Oklahoma. I 174 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: just I decided that I liked telling people what was happening. 175 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: So I'll tell you when I decided that this was 176 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: really gonna happen for me. It was the World Series. 177 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: And you'll laugh because I'm not much of a baseball guy, 178 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: but that was the Oakland Series where um, they had 179 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: the earthquake and the bridges collapsed, and Al Michaels was 180 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: doing the game on ABC and he narrated beautifully. They 181 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: had Peter Jennings back in Washington, d C. But he 182 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: wasn't there, so they let al Michaels tell the story 183 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: of what was happening in the Bay Area. Because he's 184 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: from California, he knew it well. He could tell people 185 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: where the fires were, what that bridge was that had collapsed. 186 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: He did a magnificent job. And the next morning I 187 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: went in to my journalism class, and the journalism professor 188 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: guy named John Brohold started railing about how ABC should 189 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: have gotten this guy off and put Peter Jennings on. 190 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: At that moment, I knew I wanted to be a 191 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: sportscaster because sports guys could tell stories just as well 192 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: as the news guys. And from that point on, it's 193 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: just been a matter of finding the right opportunity. And 194 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: the Jaguars presented itself earlier. But I'm a storyteller and 195 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: your journalism professor couldn't have been more wrong. But you 196 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: probably knew that at the time so well, And that's interesting. 197 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: That brings us to the next topic. Uh, trying to 198 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: tell this story this season. I think a lot of 199 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: listeners know if they don't know, we're going to for 200 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: the most part, be working remotely this year, the three 201 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: of us. Some of us might go into the office occasionally, 202 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: but for the most part, we're going into practice and 203 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: we're covering the team virtually, which for me, after five 204 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: years of doing it one way, this is a completely 205 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: different way. Brian the same way, at Ashley, same way, 206 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: JP the same way. Um, guys, are we excited about 207 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: this apprehensive? Uh? Sure, I'll let you start I mean 208 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: you've been doing this, I guess since you hasn't set 209 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: a team with it, so to be a different sort 210 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: of body clock for you. Can this be done? How 211 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: will we get the fan uh intimate with the team 212 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: if you will. I think it's all about and I 213 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: think with us we've done a pretty good job of 214 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: doing this is just finding creative ways to maybe change 215 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: up some content. I mean, it's not going to look 216 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: the same. It can't look the same, and it shouldn't. 217 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: But with that, UM, I found it's almost at times 218 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: easier now to get players bought into something we're doing 219 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: because it isn't at home set up and time management wise, 220 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: we're much more free to do things um and and 221 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: add more time to something like that. So I've definitely 222 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: taken advantage of of things like Instagram Live where you're 223 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: just having a candid conversation with a player for about 224 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: forty minutes and your fans jump thing on in commenting 225 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: and you have some teammates jumping in. UM. So I 226 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: think it's all about just finding a different way to 227 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: do things, and I think it's gonna be a lot 228 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: of trial and error for us. We've seen it so 229 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: far in the off season. But for example, the draft 230 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: was our first big production doing this virtually, and I 231 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: think we couldn't have done a better job with that. 232 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: And Brian, you've been doing it a certain ways just 233 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: like me for a long time. We'll be going to practice, 234 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: but how do you anticipate this changing in terms of 235 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: maybe how we talk to people around the building. It's 236 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: going to be a new thing that we're not gonna 237 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: be able to do maybe quite as much this year. 238 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with the John. I'm struggling with it. 239 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: I am. I am really struggling with it because for 240 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: twenty five years, you know, at this moment in time, 241 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: I knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing. 242 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, practice may have changed, the names and the 243 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: faces may have changed, but I understood the process of 244 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: getting through August to September. And now we're skipping for 245 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, relatively speaking, going right to September, and we 246 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: don't even know what that's going to be yet. So 247 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm struggling because I'm used to walking out on the 248 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: practice field with an assistant coach and you know, getting 249 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: the rundown of what the meetings the night before. We're 250 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: all about and then off the field a player and 251 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: finding out their perspective on the coaching staff or the offense, 252 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: or the heat or the hotel or I'm used to 253 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: hearing what's going on from the people themselves instead of 254 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: being distant like this, feeling disconnected and trying to tell 255 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: the story. So I think it's gonna be a really 256 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: difficult lift early on until we get into some sort 257 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: of a rhythm with zoom and the phone and and whatever. Um. 258 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: In a sense, we'll be telling the story of telling 259 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: the story, but I don't want to do that all 260 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: season right. At some point, I want to tell the 261 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: story of the Jaguars as they navigate their way through 262 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: this most difficult season. And JP a little different role 263 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: for you, primarily because you post the radio, do doing 264 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: and weekly in the sense of hosting. Maybe your role 265 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: hasn't changed dramatically, but there's got to be some dramatic 266 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: changes in what you're doing. Well. I mean, it's this 267 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: is the same room I host the radio shows that 268 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: now that's the big thing. So we're not in the 269 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: same room together. Um. Over the summer. Unfortunate that over 270 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: the summer I had equipment at my house from some 271 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: side work that I do that we could work with 272 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: the radio station and could do the radio shows at 273 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: least have them on the air and make them sound 274 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: like I'm sitting in the studio at least. But now 275 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: that the trick is kind of getting zoom or Skype 276 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: or however we do that to match with the video 277 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: side of it. And you know, that's the challenge that 278 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: we're not in the same room together so much of 279 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: that stuff. And to touch with what Brian talked about too. 280 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, going in that locker room for forty five 281 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: minutes some days is just painful because guys don't want 282 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: to talk or whatever. But that's a lot of times 283 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: where you get um a lot of your base information. 284 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: You know, you're talking to a third string guy, you're 285 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: talking to the backup guard about what's going on, and 286 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: then you kind of navigate around that locker room over time. 287 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: So we won't have that this year, and I think 288 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: that's part of the challenge of of really getting some 289 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: true storylines going and and following them throughout the season here. 290 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: But as for the radio shows, I mean, we've we've 291 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: been very fortunate this summer to be able to continue 292 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: to continue to do them. The sound and look might 293 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: be a little bit different, but I think this is 294 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: going to be the sound and look of this coming season, 295 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: so we might as well get used to it. Um. 296 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: But you know, everybody that's been on has either been 297 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: on the phone or now on Skype, and you know, 298 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: it's just a little more communication leading up to the 299 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: show I think than probably was before. Not that we 300 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: didn't have it before, but now you really have to 301 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: coordinate and make sure everybody's on the same page on 302 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: your shows too, to make sure it looks and sounds great. 303 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: It almost feels odd. But you know, we're almost a 304 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: month from the regular season now and we haven't been 305 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: on the field, so we haven't seen these guys up close. 306 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Is it too early to ask you, guys, what's your 307 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: gut on this season? I mean, now that it's going 308 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: to happen or not. But let's assume there's sixteen games. Brian, 309 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: what do you think of this team? Or do we 310 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: just not know you because we haven't seen Well, it's 311 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: tough to say because we haven't had a chance to 312 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: see Gardner Minshew, I you know, rest on his shoulders. 313 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, I think they've made a 314 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: lot of astute personnel moves to solidify places that were weak. Um. 315 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're a top team, but I think 316 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: with a good job by the coaching staff, they'll be 317 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: a very competitive team. And then the difference is if 318 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew um has improved significantly, then they can do 319 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: what they did a year ago, which is compete week 320 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: to week and find themselves, you know, in the fourth 321 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: quarter in the ballgame. UM, if he regresses, then you know, 322 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: I think that they're looking at the top of the 323 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: draft for a quarterback next year. But I can't tell 324 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: you that because I haven't had a chance to see him. Now, 325 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: I know he's gonna talk and we're gonna hear from him, 326 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, periodically this August. But until we can see 327 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: him on the field and game like situations, I think 328 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: it's tough to decide what the Jaguars are going to 329 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: be in Swan. One glorious season for you and two 330 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: pretty tough seasons since you've been here. Uh, how do 331 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: you see this one playing at you? You probably talked 332 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: to more of the young guys than any of us, uh, 333 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: in some of the Instagram stuff you've done, and so 334 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: do you get a good vibe from the rookie class, 335 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: can they make an impact? And just overall, what do 336 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you need to Christine? Yeah, overall it seems like everyone 337 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: is really meshing really well, and every single young guy 338 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: that I have talked to in veteran with that, especially 339 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, the veteran free agent that joined the team 340 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: at running back. You definitely here almost immediately the impact 341 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: Gardnermans who has had so far in the virtual off 342 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: season meetings, and everyone has noticed the immediate difference that 343 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: Gardner has taken this year now knowing that he is 344 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. They basically said, with the circumstances of 345 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: everything being virtual like he has handled it the best 346 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: possible way he can, and I'll go to the other 347 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I think with Gardner, obviously it's 348 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: all on his shoulders. But you also have to look 349 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: at the run defense. I mean we said run defense 350 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: about eighteen times a day at the second a half 351 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: of last season. I mean, that was by far the 352 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: biggest Achilles heal for the Jaguars, and I really don't 353 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: think you have a chance to win this year unless 354 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: that's fixed. You have Al Woods now on the COVID 355 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: reserve list, um not playing this season, opting out, And 356 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 1: now it really is how big is that the Von 357 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: Hamilton draft pick gonna be? Is he going to make 358 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: the difference that the Jaguars need? You hope so, because 359 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: that was a huge, huge thing that needed to be 360 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: fixed over the off season. JP thoughts in the season well, 361 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: to kind of echo Schlnn there. I think the offense 362 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: has a chance to be pretty good. I think it 363 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: all depends on what Gardner is gonna do. But letard 364 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: four nets of a contract year. Not that he's not 365 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: motivated before, but he certainly will be now. They believe 366 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: in the offensive line. We heard Doug Morown i think 367 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: last week talk about that, and you know, they didn't 368 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: make a lot of changes on the offensive line in 369 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: the off season. They've got a Pro Bowl receiver, They've 370 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: upgraded the tight end room. Again, we'll see if it 371 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: sticks this time, and it has stuck for about eight 372 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: years around here, So you know, I'm not too concerned 373 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: about the offensive side of the ball, to be quite 374 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: honest with you, But as Ashland was talking about that 375 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: defensive side stopping the run, that the gap integrity last 376 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: year is just not great because you had guys out 377 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: of place and then somebody would step over to to 378 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: take over their mistake and then open another gap and 379 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: then they go open for the long, long runs on 380 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: this defense. So you add Showber to the middle moving 381 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: miles outside. I like that move because that's two veteran 382 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: guys at the linebacker spot. I think they'll have the 383 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: stoutness up front. I'm not too concerned about that. I 384 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: think one of my concerns though, Yeah, teams are you know, 385 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to run the ball in this defense. 386 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: But the unknowns of the secondary right now? You know, 387 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Hayden is gonna play Nicol, that's fine. Um. The safeties 388 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: are they great, They're solid, they can play good, they're good, 389 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: good players at safety. But the unknowns from here at 390 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: the corners. I mean, Trey Herndon as a young guy 391 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: in the league, played okay last year, but he's you know, 392 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't been around the legal long time. And then 393 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: you have a first round pick on the outside that 394 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: you haven't seen on the grass at all yet. So 395 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: that's my real concern. I think it is the defensive 396 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: side of the ball, which is weird to say, because 397 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: you have some some big names on that side of 398 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the ball. Still, Um, I can't give you a wind 399 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: total right now, John, I know that's what you're gonna 400 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: ask next. Yeah, well no, it's it's Uh. I agree 401 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: with you, guys. I think there are so many unknowns. 402 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: It could be a good season if all the things 403 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: that they're optimistic about come to fruition. Usually in the NFL, 404 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: all those things don't come to fruition. So uh, I'm 405 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: kind of with you guys. I think six D eight 406 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: wins would be an accomplishment, and that's sort of what 407 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: I think they're realistically shouldn't shooting for. So the final 408 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: thing we did, I know you guys look forward to 409 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: this because you like getting to know each other slim 410 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: Brian Shadick like getting to know who each other are. 411 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: But it's called the Ozone five. We're gonna go around 412 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: the horn and basically some quick answers to five quick questions. 413 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, your last binge watch? Um, yellow Stone? Was 414 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: it good? That was excellent? Uh? I love Cowboys and 415 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: the wild the Wild West, and Kevin Costner's outstanding in 416 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: his role. Where's both the White and the Black Path? 417 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: And in the same show, so I thought, I thought 418 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: it was well worth my time. Slim same question. Last 419 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: Beans watch. Strangely enough, and I am sad to admit this, 420 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: I have never watched The Office all the way through, 421 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: So during this quarantine, I have watched the entirety of 422 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: the Office. I believe now in the hype. I used 423 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: to be a hero and say it's not that funny, 424 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: it is that funny. Now recently I'm watching the new 425 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: season of Last Chance You so far, so good. JP. Well, 426 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: I'm not a big television watcher, at least before the pandemic. 427 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: Um I subscribed. I subscribed to Netflix at the start 428 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: of the pandemic because I was at home and I 429 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: had nothing else going on. So I had never seen 430 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: House of Cards, so I watched. I picked like a 431 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: random episode in the second or third season. I think 432 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: it was the one with the assassination attemptic game where 433 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: he got shot. It might have been season three, and 434 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: I watched from that point all the way to the 435 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: end of the series. So that's my last true binge watch. 436 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: I think that would call so you didn't watch the 437 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: first season. No, I haven't watched the first two seasons yet, 438 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: but every season three to the end. We're fantastic Season one, 439 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: Season two or the best? Oh well, I need to 440 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: go back, yeah, to look forward to. Last song or station? 441 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: Did any of you listened to in the car JPU 442 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: first oh song or station? Yeah, I mean, if it's 443 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: a song or if it's sports song radio, Oh yeah, 444 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: it's it's I have it on sports Talk when I 445 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: get in the car. I mean just to hear what's 446 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: going on, you know, But then I'll flip on either. Um. 447 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: You know, the phone or c d s are still 448 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: a thing in some automobiles, so I have those in 449 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: the UM. I think Leonards Skinner right now.

It's amazing that it's Magic Bus because Slinn 456 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: has a magic brush. She does John, I was very 457 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: surprised you weren't going to go into some great elaborate 458 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: detail of who the Who is and enlightened me go 459 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: ahead that uh normally the Highway seer Sectum Country Station, 460 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: Big country Gal.

You're 464 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: not the host this week we've talked about this. Luke Holmbs, 465 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: I would say Luke Hombs. Most recently, he's really climbing 466 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: up the chart. Spellas if you haven't paid attention, I 467 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: haven't any world U. Each one of you your best 468 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: sport growing up, Brian will start with you, the sack 469 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: artist football. I was a This sounds like Al Bundy 470 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 1: sitting on his couch, but I was a pretty decent 471 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: three technique high school football player for a three time 472 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: state champion in the Missouri class spot. So I rushed 473 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: the pastor pretty well for a high school player, and 474 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: had a sack in the state championship game. Forget okay, 475 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: three two force fumbles and a fumble recovered. Yeah, never forget. 476 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: How dare you just respect him? Jp? Sinquest? I was 477 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: terrible at baseball. I could bunce, I was a catcher. 478 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: I could throw pretty good until I hurt my shoulder 479 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: and didn't realize it. But that was like two years 480 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: I was young. I was pretty good at basketball. Um 481 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: you know. That was after baseball. It was like eleven, twelve, thirteen. 482 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: I played basketball, but then at a certain point there 483 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: I wasn't as athletic as everybody else. But before all that, 484 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: I played soccer. But I couldn't run fast, so they 485 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: put me in gold and we won the city championship 486 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: as like seven year olds, and I allowed like three 487 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: goals all season, So I'm a goalkeeper at soccer. It 488 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: was probably my best ball. I like this, Sla. You 489 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: were a softball girl, correct, I was, but I was not. 490 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: That's good. I played thirteen years. I don't know why 491 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: I played so long when I was that good. That 492 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: was what you call a flapper, which is a switch 493 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: hitter sidebotted, left handed, and you basically run up to 494 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: the ball, mack it down on the ground, run a 495 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: fast you can, and hope that does for a stay 496 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: and drops the ball and normally want to make it 497 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: their in time. I like to be honestly, I was 498 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: a basketball player for people who didn't know, and I was. 499 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: I was not very good, So my best sport was 500 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: not a good sport. Uh. Most memorable interview, and it 501 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the Jaguars, but very quickly most interviewed, 502 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: most memory interviewed for you in your life bright Bobby 503 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: Thompson shot her round the world. He lived in Pond 504 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: of Adrian. He came out to do a Monday evening 505 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: Jaguars Live show that I used to do with the 506 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: River City Brewing Company and uh, I can hear Russ 507 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: Hodges call it in my head right now. It's one 508 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: of the great calls in the history of the game. JP, 509 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: being the baseball aficionado, can attest to that. And to 510 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: sit with Bobby Thompson, um a hero of legend, was well, 511 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: it was a thrill. I can still remember. I've got 512 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: a signed a business card from him and he passed 513 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and I thought fondly of 514 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: him that day, aside from interviewing me, JP, what's your 515 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: this interview? Well, it's it's odd that Brian mentioned Bobby 516 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: Thompson because I was the first and no offense to 517 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: all the other interviewees I've had over the years, but 518 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: Ernie Harwell, it was probably the one for me and 519 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: he was the announcer on television that day and his 520 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: broadcast nobody has a recording of. So you know, I 521 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: think Red Barber called it for the Dodgers, Russ Hodges 522 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: for the Giants, and Ernie Harwell's on network television, but 523 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: the only tape that exists is somebody rolling on the 524 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: tape of Russ Hodges at their house and um. But anyway, 525 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: but this is back and when I was doing Independent 526 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: Ball and then early with the sons Um, I connected 527 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: with him just a random email. I'm just looking for 528 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: a guest to an interview, and he responded and was gracious. 529 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: For like five straight years he did a linked the 530 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: interview with me like the last four or five years 531 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: of his life, and couldn't have been nicer. I don't 532 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: know if anybody diced in the business, because I don't 533 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: think he ever said no to anything like that, almost 534 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: any request from any young broadcaster. And yeah, boys here 535 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: he's a great gap u O. I would have to 536 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: say it's a tie, but I'm going to go first 537 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: with Calais Campbell doing the final video board interview with 538 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: him last season against the Colt to me picked up 539 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: the fumble for the touchdown, and and not being very 540 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: up in the era of whether that would be most 541 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: likely my last interview with him or not, and and 542 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: doing it so with a big win in front of 543 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: the home fans after a pretty difficult year was definitely 544 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: something I'll always remembered because we all love that moment 545 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: for him. Um. And secondly, I would have to stay 546 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: going to New Orleans and doing an interview with Leonard 547 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: for NET in the seventh board, seeing a totally different 548 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: side of him, definitely had a much greater appreciation for 549 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: how Leonard drew up after that. I would say at 550 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: the Tide Final ozone five question favorite team growing up 551 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: JP get the default for you, but we'll get to 552 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: it later, Brian, your favorite team growing up Boston self 553 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: of any sports the Boston Celtics. Um. We lived in 554 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: Boston for a time back in the three Channel days. 555 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: They were the team that was on the most with 556 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: the Lakers and those great Celtic Laker Finals of the 557 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: eighties where it seemed like they were playing in June 558 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: against each other every year and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. UM. 559 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: I fell in love with the Celtics. At one point 560 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: I was the only subscriber the Celtics Pride magazine in 561 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: the state of Kansas, and they sent me a nice 562 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 1: letter thanking me for following the Celtics from uPAR because Slynn, 563 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: you can probably not appreciate this back then, Uh, to 564 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: have fans spread out all over the country was we 565 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: weren't connected. There was no internet at that point in time, 566 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: so I only saw them when they were on network television. JP. 567 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: Same question. I think everybody knows the answer. Yeah. I 568 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: grew up born, raised an Alabama fan, went to the 569 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: University of Alabama. UM, so from birth. Really, there's a shirt. 570 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: There's a photo that my dad has, I think of 571 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: me right after I was born, and it's it's me 572 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: and one of those baby shirts. You know what babies 573 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: were when they come in the hospital, right, they'll come. 574 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: They don't come in it, but they put it on 575 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: them after they're out anyway. So it was it said, 576 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: hold on Bear, I'm coming with a picture of Bear 577 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: Bryan because he was still alive at the time, right. 578 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: So it really started there. And that's it Alabama football 579 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: and their glory years, at least for in my generation. 580 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: In the nineties with Geene Stallings, it didn't get better 581 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: for that, Swann, Is it as simple as go gat 582 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: same story as JP, but a better to go. I 583 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: like that. I like the final shot, you know, and 584 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: I will close with that. I think we should all 585 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: go on talking forever and thank all of you all 586 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: for doing this. At some point we might all see 587 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: each other again. Until then, we'll see each other on Zoom. 588 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: Thank you guys for doing this. It means a lot. 589 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: Thank you John, you have a great future and hosting John. 590 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: Thanks all right. I want to thank Ashland, JP and 591 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: Brian for joining us for that. And it was interesting, Dave. 592 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: We all get a chance to talk to each other 593 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: on camera about the jaguars and maybe have to have 594 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of back and forth with each other. Um. 595 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: I really didn't realize a couple of things I learned 596 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: about Brian, JP and Ashland. I was wondering if you 597 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: learned anything that's remotely interesting about three people that you're 598 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: very lukewarm about personally. No, they're all great. No. The 599 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: one thing I did learn wasn't about those three. I 600 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: learned how far you've come, because when you first started 601 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: doing this, you were just a writer who was all 602 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: nervous and and awkward on on camera. Now look at you. 603 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: You're a podcast host. You're telling telling the host to 604 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: do right. Yeah, it's uh, it's really. I took this 605 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: job in two thousand and eleven. As you know, you 606 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: and I weren't working together. You were still at the 607 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: TV station. So is Patrick Havanaugh, our our video producer, 608 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: rising star within the organization guy um and through you guys, primarily, 609 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: you really taught me a lot about being on the air, 610 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: how to broadcast if you will, and just do experience. 611 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: I feel like I can sort of stay out of 612 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: my own way doing it. I certainly would still say 613 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: that I feel far more comfortable with JP, Brian and 614 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: Ashland running the interviews then with Johnny O running the interviews. 615 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: But I appreciate the kind work. All right, Let's not 616 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: equip being kind to each other. Let's uh, let's let's 617 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: talk a little turkey well dirt about the broadcast team. 618 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: So it's funny, it's just how how much we've grown 619 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: and whatever. I guess since you've got high in I 620 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: guess nine years. Since it was just you and then 621 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: Patrick came in, and then JP, then me and the 622 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Brian and well and then Brian switched into the current 623 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: role he's in. It's just funny how how we've grown 624 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: exponentially over the last few years. And and sometimes I 625 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: think about sometimes when we do stuff like this, about 626 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: where we were and kind of the way we used 627 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: to um where I remember watching you and back in 628 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: the day of the broadcast department was basically an intern, 629 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: a pr intern, and used to and John you still 630 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: little reports from the UH from meat Wait Stadium in 631 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven which were always pretty funny to me. Yeah, 632 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: the in two thousand eleven up until I think Patrick 633 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: came on in two thousand and twelve, and my first fall, 634 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: it was basically all writing on the website and when 635 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: I could get the video intern or when he could 636 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: get me to go out and do a stand up, 637 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: which at the time was this pure writer just talking 638 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: at the camera not knowing have any idea what I 639 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: was doing. That was the extent of Jaguar's video unless 640 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: the video guy went and got logiment on and he's 641 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: doing the same thing, talking to the camera without any guidance. 642 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: And as you said, we've since out. We now have basically, 643 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: I guess four full time people who are on the 644 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: air with another three, four or five people who worked 645 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: inside the video department. So it is in nine years 646 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: it has become you know, you're the TV background Dave, 647 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: but it has become a fully functioning equivalent of a 648 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: local television news department, and maybe even on a higher 649 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: end than that because of some of the ship because 650 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: some of the shows we do. I like that you're 651 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: such a big start. You don't even know how many 652 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: production people we have that big We got five five 653 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: production people including including myself and Patrick and Max and 654 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: Brent and Trent. They may come across social media every 655 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: now and again, but you know, they do a great job. 656 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: And everybody here really it's really been fun to kind 657 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: of see this thing grow. So I was the second one, 658 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: second production person after Patrick that kind of after the 659 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: reincarnation of the broadcast department. Little background is so the 660 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: Jaguars are actually one of the first teams in the 661 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: NFL to have a broadcast department. And then when the 662 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: economy downturned in in the early two thousands and the 663 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: Weavers started getting ready to sell the team, they kind 664 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: of let that broadcast department fade away and go away. 665 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: And then after the cons bought it, um there was 666 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: kind of resurgence of staffing and everything around the stadium, 667 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: and that's one of the things they brought back was 668 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: a broadcast department. And they've d have done it almost 669 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: like one person at a time over that time, which 670 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: which has been fun. It's cool to see how it's 671 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: grown and and yeah, and you know, it's just I 672 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: like to sometimes I'll get our website and this is 673 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: how nerdy I am. I'll go back to like two 674 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: thousand thirteen and fourteen and see what we were doing, 675 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: see what we're doing now. And it's just cool for 676 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: me if someone who was kind of part of the 677 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: beginning of it to see where we've gotten to. Well, 678 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 1: it's become a thing. I think where in the old 679 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: days the broadcast department, you know, you wondered was there 680 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 1: something for them to produce every day on a daily 681 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: basis to went to the public. It was a different dynamic. 682 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: And our growth since as they are is meaning our 683 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: team that we have now has been more. It has 684 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: felt very organic to me in the sense that in 685 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, two thousand and twenty, you've seen 686 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,959 Speaker 1: the growth of social media. You've seen every team now, 687 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: every sports team puts out video every day, they have 688 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: content online, they have shows that run on Twitter. So 689 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: we have grown along with the demand for this, and 690 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: I ain't safe to say over the next five ten 691 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: years the growth we've seen now from eleven to two 692 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: thousand twenty, my guesses will be dwarfed by the growth 693 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: over the next ten years because it's going in that 694 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: direction where fans expect to feel like they are there 695 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: every day. They feel like they expect to feel like 696 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: they're inside the building. Um, it's fine for me to 697 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: write about it. It's but the days of just having 698 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: a writer, you know, taking inside. Fans now want to 699 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: see what they are being told about, and they expected 700 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: in real time. So I expected to be much more 701 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: like that. And at some unt you'll go on Twitter, 702 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: Facebook and and feel like you're right there with the team, 703 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: which we're getting closer and closer towards that. Now. Yeah, 704 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,959 Speaker 1: it's a really cool thing to be a part of two. Also, 705 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: I want to kind of two. It's just it's just funny. 706 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: Where So before I started working here, how they did 707 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: some of the broadcast stuff was it was outsourced to 708 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: their TV partners. So I worked at that TV partner. 709 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: Patrick worked at that TV partner, and so it was 710 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: a little more of a natural transition coming in here 711 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: because we were already working with some of these you know, 712 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: some of the Dan Edwards of the World's at the time, 713 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: Ron Robinson and side of the building when you came in, Yeah, 714 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: and we were doing Coaches Show, so we were on 715 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: the coach and all that kind of stuff. But so 716 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: it was it was an easier transition, and so I 717 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: think it was much more seamless going from nothing to 718 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: having some because because the kind of the way it happened. 719 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: But you know, it's really cool to be a part 720 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: of like and see the progression and see how we're 721 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: doing more behind the scenes stuff and like you said, right, 722 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: fans expect that and basically and every NFL team now 723 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: has it, and I think it's a really cool thing 724 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: for for fans to be I feel like they're more 725 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: part of the team. The other thing I want to 726 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: kind of mention is one more production person. Joe Fortunado, 727 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 1: who's our manager of radio and also our podcast editor guru, 728 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: who does a bang up job with this is also 729 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: part of our team. So it's a really good, kind 730 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: of close knit team. And I think the argument, Dave 731 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: sort of close this podcast. We do a lot at 732 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: as a team on the franchise, and probably even the 733 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: most hardcore fan has to work to consume everything on 734 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: a given week. But if you are a fan who 735 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: consumes all the content on a given week, I make 736 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 1: the argument that you that you know this team week 737 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: to week pretty well. I mean there's a lot of content, 738 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: and if you take all the angles that we cover, 739 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: from drive times to coaches shows, to my writing to 740 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: Inside a Minute to Ashland's uh Instagram work, if you 741 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: get time to consume at all, you're gonna know what's 742 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: going on with this franchise. So I would, uh, you know, 743 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: I'm not really one to praise others. I'm much more 744 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: about praising Johnny Up, but I would make the argument 745 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: that this team, for the scope that we do, um, 746 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: if you're watching Jaguars Media on a daily basis and 747 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: consuming at all, this team brings you the story. And I'm, 748 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, on a on a serious note, proud to 749 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: be a part of it and very happy that JP 750 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: Ashlyn Bryan were able to join us today. With that, 751 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: I'll thank Day and we'll mention Joe Fortunito again because 752 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: you gotta mention Joe for making this thing sound good. 753 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't think this one sucks, and I look forward 754 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,479 Speaker 1: to the rest of the Ozone podcast during training. Camp 755 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 1: is starting to rev up and this is getting good. 756 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: Thank you, stop b
