1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Back 3 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: on the drive here on a Friday, getting ready for 4 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: Steelers Lions for twenty five on Sunday at Ford Field 5 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: in Detroit, and of course roaming the sideline, there will 6 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: be the great Missy Matthews, she joins us. Now you'll 7 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: hear her on the call with Rob King and Max 8 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: Stark's Missy, thank you for taking the time as always, 9 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: and paint the picture for the audience of Ford Field 10 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: in Detroit a little bit, because you know, this is 11 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: one of those places the Steelers don't get to go 12 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: to very often. I realized we were just there two 13 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: years ago for a preseason game, which kind of feels 14 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: like yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time. 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: But that's a little different than a regular season game. 16 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: It's a it's a dome, it's a fast track there 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: in Detroit. 18 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: Could we be could we be. 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: In for a higher scoring affair on Sunday maybe than 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: some people think. 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that. You know, 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: the last time I think I was there for the 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: regular season game is Juju Smith Schuster's rookie year when 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: he hit that ninety seven yeard touchdown, it was either 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: a Sunday night or Monday night. I know it was 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: a night. 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: Game Monday, I'm pretty sure. 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, so I knew it was a big win. 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: That was like at the height of juju. I think 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: he had just lost his bike and you know, all 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: of Pittsford were searching for it. But that place was loud, 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: you know, And that wasn't that Dan Campbell as Lions 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: as Aaron Rodgers was talking about. You know, he was 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: asked about, you know, do you have the same disdain 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: for Detroit fans's you know, maybe cargo And he's like, no, 36 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: it's kind of different really, you know, and when I 37 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: played there, but like any dome, they can get really loud, 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: and I just think these fans just watching them, especially 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: that playoff game last year, just the like absolute astonishment 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 3: on faces. You're kind of like, yeah, they want this badly. 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: They they want to reverse their trend of winning than losing, 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: than winning than losing, and making sure that they get 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: a spot in the playoffs. 44 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 4: Oh, no doubt. 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 5: So does it safe to say there probably won't be 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 5: a heavy Steeler contingency there. 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: You know, that's the. 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 4: Best destination city for December. 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: Hold on, you mean you mean Michigan in late December. 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 4: Is it's drivable? 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, I mean I actually do think 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: because it's drivable, and I don't know a lot of 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: my friends that don't work in football, they were like, 54 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: yesterday was their last day of work until next year. 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: Today might be their last day. You know, if people 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: have the time off and you can drive there, agree, 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: the drive might not be great, but yeah, I don't 58 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: know that will be interesting. I think just because of 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: how ferocious their fans are and how into it they are, 60 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: it probably you know, I doubt it's going to be 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: a Vegas cakeover. Sorry, that's my dog dropping a bone 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: on my foot. Thank you, Bower, appreciate that I saw, Missy. 63 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: We can't have you limp and on the sidelines, okay. 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: Right, I mean he literally is following me around with 65 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: a ride. I just let him go play in this notes. 66 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: I don't know why he's not tired yet, but here 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: we are. So yeah, I don't know. I'm very Yeah, 68 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: I'm curious and I'm excited for this game just because 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: of what it means to both teams. It's Week sixteen, 70 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: it's December football. Thank god, we're not going to be 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: out in the elements because I think it's a high 72 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: in Detroit on Sunday is like twenty six degrees. So 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: I'm okay with that. 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: No doubt. 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: Of all the times to go to Detroit when the 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: weather's going to be nasty and will be safe in 77 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: the friendly confines of Ford Field, I will take it. 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: Missy. 79 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: I feel like we ask you something about Aaron Rodgers 80 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: every single week without fail, and so here it goes 81 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: once again. But these last two weeks have obviously been 82 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: much better for the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think, particularly on 83 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football, and a ton of 84 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: that obviously has centered around the play of the quarterback 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: who we were asking after Baltimore, is that the best 86 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: sixty minutes he's played in the Black and Gold? And 87 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: then we were all saying the same thing Tuesday morning 88 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: after that performance in the win Monday night against Miami. 89 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: Matt and I talked about this a little bit earlier 90 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: this week, Like Aaron Rodgers at his age, you know, 91 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: now forty two, he was forty one when the season started. 92 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's it's gonna be hard for him 93 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: to be that guy who, when the weather's nice in 94 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: September throws the ball forty five times for four hundred 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. But when it's December and the 96 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: weather's cold, in the minutia in the margins matter more 97 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: than ever before, he's gonna eliminate air. He's gonna catch 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: the opposition defense with twelve guys on the field and 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: get a free first down on third down. He's going 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: to be the high tide that elevates all the ships 101 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: around him as this road narrows. This time of year, 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: it feels like Number eight and the offense with him 103 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: are starting to hit a stride or starting to get 104 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: some momentum at the right time. 105 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, even before he said it, you could 106 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: just tell like he enjoyed playing in that weather on 107 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: Monday night. It was like almost took him back to 108 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: lambeau Field, you know, those kind of elements. Obviously, the 109 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: wind was not a factor, which I think is what 110 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 3: made it not feel as cold as we anticipated. There 111 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: wasn't like all this snow coming down. But he just 112 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: really took command of it and looked so comfortable. Whereas 113 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: whether the Dolphins want to say whether it was a 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: factor or not, you can just tell that a lot 115 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: of those guys were kind of like, yeah, this ucks. 116 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: But I do think in terms of Aaron, great time 117 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: for him to be peaking, of course with everything at 118 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: this point in the season. But even I was on 119 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: the Lions website and their defensive coordinator has coached and 120 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: played against Aaron before, and he was just saying that 121 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: his intelligence, the football intelligence that he has of dissecting 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 3: defenses and understanding what they're trying to do to him 123 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: is just above part and it is something that they 124 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 3: are going to have to very much so be aware 125 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: of because his quick release and accuracy and everything will 126 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: be you know, a game level. And for that defense, 127 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: especially the back end, they have been you know, taking 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: advantage of a little bit there. So I think they 129 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: know that, sure, our offense, yeah they can score thirty points, 130 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: but our defense can also give up thirty points, which 131 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: has been hurting them in the long run this season. 132 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the folks in the desert that are making 133 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 5: the lines seem to think this is going to be 134 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 5: a really high scoring game. I can obviously see that 135 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 5: line of thinking. You think the Steelers are equipped to 136 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 5: play with one of those type of games though, you know, 137 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 5: first one to thirty five wins, yeah, I mean. 138 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, the four possessions where they 139 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: scored gives me a little bit of hope. I just 140 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: feel like we have not consistently seen it. Obviously Week 141 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: one you saw those four touchdowns even in Cincinnati that comeback. 142 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: I know they didn't end up winning it, but hopefully 143 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: it is something. And I just think to stack three 144 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: wins something they have not really done. You can kind 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: of say after the bye week they did, but you know, 146 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: just like back to back weeks where you feel like 147 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: you're getting the momentum from it, I think would be huge. 148 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: I know this isn't a make it or break it 149 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: game because it's the NFC, but I still just I 150 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: think this win would be so important to them and 151 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: just for the confidence of both units playing so well. Obviously, 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: injuries on the defensive side could present a problem given 153 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 3: the Lions offense, but I think offensively, it feels like 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: Aaron and all these guys are trending in the right direction, 155 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: and you have to give them credit for bringing in 156 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: Adam Feeline and MBS coming to the active roster. They've 157 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: they've been doing good things in the past two weeks 158 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: with them in the lineup. Whether you know, they're not 159 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: really involved so much in touching the ball, they've had 160 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: each of you there, but it's just more what they 161 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: bring in terms of presence. 162 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: I think, well, Missy kind of piggybacking off of that. 163 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: A another guy that was added by the Steelers into 164 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: the fold recently was a Sante Samuel Junior. We saw 165 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: a little I think what one or two plays of 166 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: him against Baltimore and then bang one hundred percent of 167 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: the defensive snaps Monday night against Miami. Not only did 168 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: he play well, he had an interception as well. Does 169 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: it's what's what's his kind of demeanor and energy been 170 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: like on the sideline? And then off of that, there's 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: been so much change, so much shuffling in this secondary. 172 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: Does it feel like they've finally found the formula and 173 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: have the right guys in the right spots. 174 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 3: I do think in terms of the second part, first 175 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: the defense, it feels like everybody's in the right spot. 176 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: And I know that people are still moving in and 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: out due to injuries, like James Pierre went in he 178 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 3: was playing great. After they released lay James Pierre hasn't 179 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 3: practiced as far as I have seen this week, so 180 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: anticipated Sante Samuels will be there again. Now. He's new 181 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: to the team, obviously he knew Real Peppers and has 182 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: relationships with other guys. But just the way he took 183 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: the field on Monday, the way he played, you can 184 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: tell he has played at this level before. And I 185 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 3: can't remember how coach Tomlin put it on Tuesday, but 186 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: like he's a global football player type deal. You know, 187 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know what he meant by that, but 188 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: you can tell he's been there before. This isn't too 189 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 3: big for him, and he's just slowly evolving and fitting 190 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: right in with his defense and what they're trying to do. 191 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: And I thought looked great opposite of Julie Porter. 192 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 5: So someone I've been mean to ask you about now 193 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 5: for weeks is Patrick Queen. And I don't think he 194 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 5: gets the credit from Steeler Nation as being the every 195 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 5: down player, the green dot guy, the leader, the communicator 196 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 5: that he probably deserves. I'm curious what his game day 197 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 5: demeanor is and you know the way he handles himself 198 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 5: on game day. 199 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: Oh p q's crazy. He is vocal. Oh yeah, he is, 200 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: like a switch goes off, the high intensity goes up, 201 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: and he carries that like the whole game. He's vocal, 202 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: not in a bad way, just more like you know, 203 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: energizing people talking about things they can do better. Uh. 204 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: He is basically saying he wants to get into, you know, 205 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: the contact and the physicality, Like he's asking for that 206 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 3: before he even gets on the field for a defensive drive. 207 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 3: He's just that guy. And I think, you know a 208 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: lot of people are clearly buying into that energy. And 209 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: then you have Patrick or you have excuse me, Jalen 210 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: Ramsey on the back end. We know what kind of 211 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: energy he has. So I think it's just like all 212 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: insuming and I think he's so much more comfortable. I 213 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: agree with you, Matt in terms of being underrated. I 214 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: understand there's been some blow points, but I feel like 215 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: that's been the entire team and different players individually throughout 216 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: this season. But just so much more comfortable being the 217 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: green dot this year, and I think that makes a 218 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: big difference when he is able to communicate cleaner and 219 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 3: clearlier with the rest of the guys to know what 220 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: they're supposed to do, and you just you see them 221 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: being vocal amongst each other while they're out on the field. 222 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: So it's good to see. And I agree he is. 223 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: You know, he's that guy that that Ravens playoff game 224 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: he was sick as heck, still played like he we 225 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: saw it in Baltimore this year for the regular season game. 226 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: Does not matter if you cut his leg off, he 227 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: is still going to try to go out there. He 228 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: is just he has that type of mentality and I 229 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: love to try to listen to what he's saying because 230 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: it's intense but also funny. 231 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: Love it. 232 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Great stuff is always with Missy Matthews.
