Speaker 1: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But Selly is

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: not planning on reacting publicly. CBS Sports senior writer Pete

00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Prisco did react publicly on Jaguars Happy Our Radio with

Speaker 1: we'll get to it coming up. Pete Prisco of CBS

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Sports might have a few things to say about this

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: as well. Good afternoon until your Pete. What's up? What's up? JP?

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: You know, look, it's it's nice to see Bruce saying

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: those things because we've gotta knock the sell me down

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: a few pegs before the ceremony, don't we No I'm

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: getting I mean, you know, JP, a we ever talked

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: about is how giant his head is. Well, that thing

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: is going to be out of control in the next

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: two months, so I mean, you know, bringing them down

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: a little bit is not a bad thing, right, was

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: not what I was expecting to hear. But yeah, I

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: guess kidding. And I just don't understand where Bruce is

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: coming from and why why now, why all of a

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: sudden do you pop that out there and say that,

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: and and it just isn't a good look for him.

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Is this is an exclusive club and welcome to the

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: club everybody. You know, By the way, I'm gonna take

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: a shot at the guy who's now coming into the club.

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: It just Bruce Smith looks terrible, uh, with way handled

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: this thing. And I think that's getting a lot of pushback.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: And he's getting a lot of pushback, which is the

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: way it should be, Pete. And then the other thing

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I think that's disappointing is that he makes a statement,

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: but then in that statement he uses the line and

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this because I think this is important.

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: He says, um I and other Hall of Famers. He

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: uses that as if there's other Hall of Famers that

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: believe the same as him. That's I mean, that's that's

47
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: not okay to say, well, you know, I got some

48
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: other guys that are in the Hall of Fames that

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: don't appreciate what's happening here. Don't do that because the

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: name names Bruce, Well, you don't name names because you

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: know what, let them attach their own thoughts to their

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: own name. You don't just drag a couple more guys

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: in anonymously to help make your point. I mean, I

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: just think that that was just that was just chicken,

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: you know what. You know who one of those guys is.

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: And and I've because I've actually thought took over the

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: years and I've argued with him. And one of those

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: guys that never thought Tony was that girl was John Randall.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: And the reason being, you remember the game up there, Love,

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: when you were on the team that year, right, that

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: was the year Jonathan Quinn. Were you You were still there,

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: weren't you? Jonathan? What year was that when Jonathan Quinn

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: had to play quarterback at Minnesota on a Monday night?

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you were, Maybe you weren't on the team now,

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: but but it was a nobody everything. Johnathan Quinn was

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the third teh quarterback and he had to start the game.

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: And the Vikings were one of the better teams in

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: the league that year, and they went up there and

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: got ambushed, and Tony had a bad game, like everybody did.

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: And Tony will be the first admit he says it

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: now to this day. I didn't play well against Randall.

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: And John Randall will sit there and say, well, Tony

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a good player, And I go, John, you can't

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: say that off of one game. Give me a break.

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous. And and so that's probably the

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: other guy that Bruce Smith's talking about. But Randal speak

77
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: of mine, I mean, don't don't write I don't. I

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: just don't understand what was the reasoning for it. It's

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: not just one game. By the way, he played him

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: again and handled him in the next time they played too.

81
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Remember that people don't realize that he dominated him again

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: as the second time he played him, So I just

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad look for Bruce Smith. That

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: was the final Jaguars Happy Our radio show of the

85
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: off season, and we'll be back the first week of

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: training camp at the end of July. Now to the

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: ozone Podcast. This week, number one overall pick outside linebacker

88
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker sat down with John Osier and talked through plenty,

89
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: including how it's gone so far in Jacksonville. What have

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the last six weeks been like? Last six weeks and

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: he's man, had just been like a grind, like just

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: coming in to work every day, trying to grasp all

93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: the plays things and that sort. The language of what

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: they use here is totally different from college. Just basically

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: been on the grind, trying to learn everything, process everything.

96
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: So in this little break that we're get now, just

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: continue to grow off of that and come back in

98
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: better position than I would when I left. I should

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: say thank you from the start, because I know media,

100
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: I know talking about yourself is not really a thing, right, Definitely,

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: I really don't like to I wouldn't say media is

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: my thing, it's this. I don't like being singled out

103
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: like that. There's a lot of other people out here, like,

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I really don't mind doing a lot of different interviews

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: with other players with me the way I'm not just

106
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: always the attention talking to people about you a little

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: bit and reading a bit about you. Obviously your family

108
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and your parents a huge influence. You chose to be

109
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: with them during the draft. Is that approach from your

110
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: upbringing just not really a lot about trade line you

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: rather be about other people and about a group. I

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I basically just say how I was raised

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: and then growing up like I was always one of

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: the biggest kids playing on the field, so I always

115
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: received at tension, and I always felt myself just shine

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: back away from all the attention I was getting. So

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: like people at the game, they always be like, oh,

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: you did so good. I'll be like, thank you. I'll

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: tell them thank you, but once they keep dwelling on it,

120
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: like I don't don't need to keep dwelling on this

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm trying to move on and just

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: keep approving. In that sense, I would guess football appeals

123
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: to you because it's maybe the ultimate team game, right,

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely what it is. When like I look

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: at football. My main goal is to win the Super Bowl,

126
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: so therefore it's going to take a complete team effort

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: in order to do that. And was that I assume

128
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that's what it was fun about last year because everything

129
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: you're ready to be at that Georgia team, you're on

130
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot of camaraderie, a lot of pride in what

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: you guys were accomplishing, and a lot of pride and

132
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: what other players around you were accomplishing. Like last year out,

133
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: one of our main goals was just connection and having

134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: that connection with the guy besides, you make you realize

135
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: a lot of other things outside of things on the

136
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: football field and things out the field as well, so

137
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: you really get to know that player as a person

138
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: in general instead of just a teammate. It's almost unfair question,

139
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: but growing up I assumed I assume you followed football.

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: I assume you had this dream. Did you ever even

141
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: dream about being the number one pick? Or does that

142
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: not even end in your mind? Or you just I mean,

143
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to know how that process works for the player.

144
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: I definitely had to say if you're a true foot

145
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: like for me, I was a love football growing up always,

146
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: so of course growing up I always dreamed I would

147
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: be a number one NFL draft pick one day, and

148
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, it came true later on down the line,

149
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: but it was something that I never just really stressed on,

150
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Like I always told myself, Yeah, I want to be

151
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: number one, but my main goal was just to get there.

152
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Once I got there, I know everything was going to

153
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: take care of itself on the hard work, and I'm

154
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: very dedicated to the game. So as long as I

155

Speaker 1: Jacksonville empowering performance both on and off the field. Thank you.

218
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, City Council President Sam Newbie, General

219
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: Manager Trent Balky, and Team President Mark Lamping were also

220
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: on the DAIS Monday afternoon. Lamping then joined Jags Drive

221
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Time Tuesday morning with Ashlan Sullivan, John Osan, and Brian

222
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Sexson and discussed the naming rights the future of the

223
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars Stadium and the shipyards. It feels like it's an

224
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: overdue project. Well, it it unlocks a lot of other things.

225
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: That's why at the time when we were able fortunate

226
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: enough to get approval for this project, I said it

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: was something that's gonna be really, really significant in the

228
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: history of the Jaguars. The reason for that is is

229
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: it was the necessary first step for us to be

230
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: able to really dig into um the stadium of the future.

231
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do to make sure that t

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I a bank field, uh meets the needs of our

233
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: of our of our of our fans, of other stakeholders,

234
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: of the Universities of Florida and Georgia, the Gator Bull

235
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: concert promoters. We have to make sure that the stadium

236
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: can meet the needs of all of those parties going

237
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: well in the future, so that we can achieve our

238
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: ultimate goal, which is to ensure that there's NFL football

239
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: here in Northeast Florida for generations to come. Where is

240
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: that stadium project right now? You know? We uh, we

241
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: kicked it off about two years ago with the with

242
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville. We've gone through a series of

243
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: necessary first steps against some of them pretty boring a

244
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: full assessment of the of the stadium, But something really

245
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: important came out of that, which is the structural systems

246
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: within the stadium are in are in good shape and

247
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: and and that's an important finding because it opens up

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the possibility for a renovation versus having to replace the facility.

249
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: We then went to the next step of of developing

250
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: three D drawings of the stadium as it exists right now. Um,

251
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: we have been communicating, uh, you know, with with our fans.

252
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: We've had over well over five thousand responses to a

253
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: survey fans telling us those things that are important to

254
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: them in in this uh in the future stadium. And

255
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: we actually you know, engaged a handful of sports architects

256
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: to give us their ideas and concepts. And we're beginning

257
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: to to to narrow that down. And and if we

258
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: can get to the point where we think we can

259
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: come up with a design that that meets the needs

260
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: of of our customers, that meets the needs of the

261
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: other stakeholders, that meets that the needs of Jaguars and

262
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: our employees we're here every day, and then we can

263
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: begin to get some idea of what something like that

264
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: might cost. Then we're in a position to really dial

265
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: up our our conversation with with the city. The city

266
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: has been involved from the beginning. I feel really comfortable

267
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: about the working relationship. Uh, you know that we have

268
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: and you know again this is this is the really

269
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: really important first step, you know, the Miller Electric Center,

270
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: and now we can really get into probably the most

271
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: the more important issue, which is how do we make

272
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: sure we have a stadium is going to meet the

273
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: needs of all involved for you know, decades to come. Mark,

274
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: you've been involved with an incredible amount of this kind

275
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: of construction built MetLife where we're heavily involved with MetLife.

276
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: How different is a potential renovation than building? How much

277
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: more complicated? Well, it's it's it's cheaper to renovate than

278
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: to build new, right, and you don't have to go

279
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: find another site, you know, you don't have to you know,

280
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: repeat all the infrastructure that's necessary to support a new

281
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: stadium site. So it's cheaper. It is more complex, particularly

282
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: when you're trying to take a thirty year old building

283
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: and get it get its state of the art because

284
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: it's retro fitting, I guess, and that sort of so

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: many things have changed and you have so much that's

286
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: embedded into this building. It is easier to build new.

287
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's less disruptive to build new. You close

288
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: one down and you move into the next one that's

289
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: completely done. So renovations generally take longer. You know, they

290
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: they're stretched out a little bit, just like we're dealing

291
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: with with the construction of the you know, the the

292
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center. The football team is a little inconvenience

293
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: right now because they're having to practice each and every

294
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: day on the game field out. You know, they really

295
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: like it so far, the players love it. I think

296
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: it adds a good atmosphere. UM. But you know that's

297
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: that's something that will will not be necessary to do

298
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: once we get the new facility opened and it even

299
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: things like this, this this studio right here will be

300
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: over in the um. Uh, the Miller Electric Center will

301
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: have better accommodations for the media, significantly better accommodations for

302
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: our players, and hopefully all of that will lead to

303
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: a better development process, UM, easier coaching and uh, you know,

304
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: more winds to come. So much going on right now.

305
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to know about the shipyards in the four seasons.

306
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Where is that project right now? Well, we're we're moving

307
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: ahead now. There's no question we've we've had to deal with,

308
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, a bushelfull of issues. But at anyone who's

309

311
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,880

312
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,560

313
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,560

324
