You know, at oh to five to 68 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: get away from the United States, to go to London 69 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: where the fans that do go over there are going 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: to be the loyal Jet fans, and uh, you know, 71 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: you look around the room and you know you have 72 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: nothing but your teammates, but you still have to go 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: out there and play. Because Denver's the same way. Denver's 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: coming off in all time high beating the Eagles, giving 75 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: the Eagles their first loss. Do they have a little 76 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: bit of a hangover? Are they patting themselves on the 77 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: back again, going hey, you know what, we just knocked 78 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: off an undefeated team, a team that won the Super Bowl? 79 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: Do you catch Denver at the right time? But the 80 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: big thing is you to quit hurting yourself again. Ten 81 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: penalties last week against Stallers, he allowed Prescott to throw 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: for four touchdown passes. The communication in the secondary has 83 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: to be better. 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: So do you want to we talk about this, We 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: talk about the penalties and it's all discipline. 86 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: How do you fix it? 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: Well, I think every individual needs to look at himself 88 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: in the mirror. You know, this is not an ag problem. 89 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: It's happened like for three straight weeks. You know what 90 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: I'm saying. 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I know what you're saying, but you know, 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: and especially they have five pre snap penalties. 93 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 4: That's not good. 94 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 3: But I would say that the players have to hold 95 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: themselves accountable. You know, AG can't keep getting up at 96 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: the press conference and saying, you know, we're going to 97 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: get better. This is a process, this is and that 98 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 3: because you know, I'm sure that the coaches are given 99 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: one hundred percent every week, getting them prepared, getting the 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: game plan out there, making sure that they're going to execute. 101 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 4: And then as soon as they run out there. 102 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: On the field opening drive, they're moving the ball down 103 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 3: the field, what happens a fumble and then that fumble 104 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: deflates everybody. 105 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: All right, I have to I'm switching gears a little 106 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: bit because I'm in London. Have you ever been to London? 107 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: I have. 108 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: I was over there when the Jets played, and then 109 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 3: I went from London over to Paris and spend another 110 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 3: week over there. 111 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: Oh what year was it the Jets first time they 112 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: came over here? In twenty fifteen? 113 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: I believe it was. I believe it was the time. 114 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: What was your favorite part about that that trip? 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: You know, I think the fans, because they think the 116 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: fans are you know, they're more into football in their 117 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: world at soccer. Yeah, you know what, they stand up 118 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: and they'll sing the whole game, and you know, they're loud. 119 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: And it's just a great atmosphere. 120 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: It's a great atmosphere for the players to experience that 121 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 3: opportunity to go over there, and you know, again, it'd 122 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: be nice to come back with a victory. And then 123 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: you get ready to play Carolina and then you go 124 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: out to Cincinnati. But you know, you've got to start 125 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: putting together some wins here just to feel better about 126 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: who you are and better as an organization, and better 127 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: with buying into AG's plant. Right now, AG is preaching, preaching, preaching, 128 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: but they're not getting the results. Once you start getting 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 3: the results, then you buy into it a little bit more, 130 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: and you know, I know it's going to take some time, 131 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: but I have confidence in AG. I think that he's 132 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: he's going to turn this thing around. It's not going 133 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: to happen overnight. We're seeing the results right now at 134 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 3: zero to five. And you know, justin fields is you know, 135 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: anytime that you have to play from behind and you 136 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: have a quarterback throwing forty six times, that's not good. 137 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: Did you ever take a tack the over here? 138 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 4: I don't think so. 139 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: I think I did public transfer rotation, taking the train 140 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: to the. 141 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: Two, the two the underground.

And it will 205 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: be an experience for the players that if this is 206 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: their first time over there, they're going to enjoy it. 207 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, what would you say to this 208 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: team right now? I mean, besides being er to five, 209 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: is this experience of going over a young guy sometimes 210 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: some of these guys this is their first international trip. 211 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: Well, the first thing I tell them is, you know what, 212 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: we can't worry about the record. 213 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 4: No, don't forget the record. Let's just go out there 214 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: and play. 215 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: And the second thing is I would tell them that, 216 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: you know, let's have some fun. You got to play 217 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: this game with passion. You got to play this game 218 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: with the desire to win. And when you are winning, 219 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 3: it becomes doesn't become work anymore. It becomes you know, 220 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 3: you're starting to have fun. It becomes you take that 221 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 3: passion that you have for the game and you go 222 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: out there and you execute better, you come up with 223 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: big plays. And I mean that's what all the players 224 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: in the locker room have to be saying to themselves, now, 225 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: who's going to come up with the big play? And 226 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: if they're looking at themselves in the mirror, they got 227 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: to go, I am I'm going to make the big sack. 228 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to come up with the big turnover. Again, 229 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: eight giveaway takeaways. That's not good either. So they've got 230 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: to come up with a strategy that every player plays 231 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: the best that they can possibly play, and then put 232 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 3: it all together as a unit. The defense place well, 233 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: the offense plays well. Special teams get you the field 234 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: position you need. 235 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: Hey, Marty, time now to bring in our guest. 236 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: And I'm really excited about this week because it's our 237 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: first female guest.

But if the Giants lost too, 281 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 5: it was just silent and I would have a really 282 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 5: peaceful Monday. 283 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 4: Nikki, what's your message to Jet fans? Now? 284 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: With an zero to five star ags in there is 285 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: a former player of fifteen years in the league, what's 286 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: your message to the Jet fans? 287 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 5: You know, I would say we we've held on for 288 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 5: this long from the beginning of it like this. We 289 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 5: knew this was going to be a rebuilding year. 290 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: We knew it. 291 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 5: So I'm not as disheartened going into it with no 292 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 5: wins because they've played good football. We've seen that there's 293 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 5: their competitive games, their higher scoring games than they've been it. 294 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 5: Has it all been wonderful? 295 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely not? Is it would it be great to have a. 296 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 5: Win, of course, but you know what do we expect 297 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 5: as Jets fans. It's every year we're like, this is 298 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 5: going to be our year, but it's not, so we're 299 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 5: awaved in this situation. I think that Aaron Glenn I 300 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 5: really like what I'm seeing from Aaron Glenn. Being a 301 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 5: former player, he just has a whole different perspective on 302 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 5: what it's like and what it means to be on 303 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 5: the field behind this fan base, because the fans can 304 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 5: be very fickle in New York. You know, if you 305 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 5: don't have if you don't have a win two weeks, 306 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 5: they're over you. You know, they're calling for your head. 307 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 5: So he I think he knows that he can kind 308 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 5: of grate his teeth and keep the players motivated. I'm 309 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 5: loving that he's really holding people accountable and the way 310 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 5: that he's celebrating. I mean that one play Will MacDonald 311 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 5: when he blocked that kick and then ran it back, 312 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 5: that was incredible and I personally loved watching Aaron Glenn 313 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 5: run down the field with him. 314 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: Okay, it was awesome. And you know what else is awesome, 315 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: Gotham City Crew. What you guys do and what you 316 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: guys stand for can you tell people a little more. 317 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: It's not just the love of the Jets in the 318 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: Yet's fan crew. 319 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: That's right. 320 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 5: So the Jets brought us together, right like we this 321 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 5: is our shared passion together. 322 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: But it's a community. That's really how it started. 323 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 5: How it became was my husband grew up in a 324 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 5: soccer fan supporter club lifestyle. You know, his parents are 325 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 5: South American and he was going out to Pittsburgh and 326 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 5: he called the Jets and he said, I'm you know, 327 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 5: who's your supporter club? I want to hang out with 328 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 5: other Jets fans And they didn't. They said, we don't 329 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 5: have one. We don't that doesn't exist, and he wanted 330 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: to create it. So he's done an amazing thing. And 331 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 5: then partnering up with Lou in I believe it was 332 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 5: twenty seventeen. So Kwoyo started Gothham Sea Crew in twenty fifteen, 333 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 5: partnered with Lou for the tailgates and I came out 334 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 5: around twenty seventeen, so Lou was already in lat Jay 335 00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 5: three and we have grown this home base for us. 336 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 5: But it's all about the fans. It's all about bringing 337 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 5: people together, doing bigger things for the community. You know, 338 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 5: we work very very closely with Marty and the Marty 339 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 5: Lions Foundation, and a huge part of what we do 340 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 5: is every single year we set the goal to grant 341 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 5: at least one wish but through the Marty Lions Foundation, 342 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 5: so it's a higher purpose. And the people in this 343 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 5: fan base are really extraordinary. They're so generous, they're so 344 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: kind and loving, and we have the most incredible time 345 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 5: together getting together on road trips, home games, everything. It's 346 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 5: it really is a community and we're so so blessed 347 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 5: and thankful for it. 348 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Nikki, you said it. You know, you're so 349 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: active in the community. You're very modest too in how 350 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: you get involved, how you stay involved, and I think 351 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: that that's what makes Gotham City so special. 352 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. And that's actually it's 353 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 5: funny that you say that about us, because that's what 354 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 5: we say about you. So when people ask us what 355 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 5: we do, why we do it, and we always go 356 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 5: back to talking about the Marty Lyons Foundation, what we 357 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 5: say is it Marty knows every one of his wish kids. 358 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 5: He knows them personally, he knows their stories, their families. 359 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 5: He is so involved, he is on the golf course, 360 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 5: at the bowling alley, at the events, really being part 361 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 5: of it, and it's such an inspiration to see, you know, 362 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 5: if you have the means, anyone can can throw money 363 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 5: to a cause, but to really be involved and be 364 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 5: the boots on the ground, that's what makes it special 365 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 5: and that's what keeps us inspired as well. And we 366 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 5: love to be there and be a part of it 367 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 5: and be part of people's core memories. You know, that's 368 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 5: one other quick thing about Popham City Crew that I 369 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 5: know I'm very proud of. We are so fortunate to 370 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 5: be involved in this community and have access to the 371 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 5: Jets organization, different players. We've become friends with alumni and 372 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 5: our families over the years, but so many people, like 373 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 5: fandom has passed down through generations. The amount of people 374 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 5: that we have that come to the tailgates or meet 375 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: us at an awake game and say, I've been a 376 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 5: lifelong Jets fan. I'm fifty something years old. This is 377 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 5: my first Jets team ever, and I'm bringing my children 378 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: and my grandchildren. We take that for granted that we 379 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 5: have the ability to be here, that we have the proximity, 380 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 5: you know, that we can be at all the games, 381 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 5: or we can go to training camp and we know 382 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 5: all these different activities that are happening. So for us, 383 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 5: it's so special to be able to enhance enhance that 384 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 5: experience for someone that you know, you're a lifetime Jets fan, 385 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 5: you've never been to a game. This is probably the 386 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 5: one time you're ever going to go in your life, 387 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: and we get to be a part of that. We're 388 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 5: so thankful and we just want it to be the 389 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 5: greatest experience that they can have. Win or lose. We 390 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 5: can't control the outcome of the game, but we can 391 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 5: control the fan experience. 392 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 4: Well, Nikki, the last question for me, Number one, how 393 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 4: are the kids?
