I mean, do you 19 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: guys listen to what everybody says about it and hear 20 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the press? I mean, you do your press conference? You 21 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: hear what everybody else says, or do you read anything 22 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: or no, I don't read anything. Obviously, I get the 23 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: questions that are asked to me. Right. Um, I'll leave 24 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: reading articles to my family, my friends and all of them. 25 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: Are you liking the quarterback room? Good talking about day ball? 26 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: And first of all, Dabele is full of energy. He's 27 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: a very enthusiastic guy, knows his stuff. Um. When we're 28 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: sitting down there and we're watching what we're watching, it's 29 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: very very good stuff. It's gonna correlate to everything that 30 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: we do this season. Um. And then you go down 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: the line with coach Cole. He's been in the league 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: for a long time and he has these little tricks 33 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: of the trade if you will. Um. You know, and 34 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: Aj and Nate have been fantastic. Uh. You know, can't 35 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: find a better guy than either of them. But you know, 36 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Aj has been helping me out a lot also, just 37 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: he sees some things that, um, that I'm doing, He'll 38 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: tell me to correct him or say something about my 39 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: stance or where I'm looking. Because he's been in the 40 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: league for a while. So to have that experience and 41 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: that knowledge and to sit behind and learn from him 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: and Nate Um. It's been pretty cool. Joshua back to 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: coach Dabele for a second. It's apparent in the limited 44 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: practice work that we see that he is right just you, 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: but in all the quarterbacks face. I mean he you 46 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: can almost reach out and touch him on every play, right, 47 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: he's right there. He's gonna looks like he's gonna be 48 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: with you all the time when you're out there getting 49 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: either getting your reps or not getting reps. Absolutely, he's 50 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: he's very outspoken. He does get fiery sometimes, but you know, 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: he's very attentive to details, and he wants to push 52 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: that along to us and to our players, into our teammates. 53 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: And that's what he's kind of been doing this past 54 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: few weeks, just making sure that he's in our ear. 55 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: He's making sure we're doing the right things, making the 56 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: right checks, and then watching and when we're watching film, 57 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: he's making sure we're watching the right things and just 58 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: trying to process it through our minds and so when 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: we do go out in the field, we can you know, 60 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: transition and put it onto Is it a complicated offense? 61 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Would you describe it as complex? I wouldn't say it's 62 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: very complex. I wouldn't say it's complicated, different verbiage than 63 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: what I'm used to, but I mean, you know, it's 64 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, it's a copycat league. We're gonna 65 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: run what other people have had success in the past 66 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: few years. And obviously we're gonna see a lot of 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: different defenses this year. But you know, it's really about 68 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: doing what we can do with what we've got. Yeah, 69 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot of talented players on 70 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: the outside and the running in our running back to 71 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Sean McCoy, and we got a really good solid group 72 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: there too, So it's gonna be fun to get us 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: get the ball to those guys and let them make 74 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: some place. You talk to AJ and of course Nate, 75 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: you guys spent a lot of time to go to 76 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: have they talk to you about the difference between day 77 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: balls coaching stuff because he's you know, you're getting coached hard. 78 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: As are they used to that too, or what do 79 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: they say about day ball? I mean they must enjoy 80 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: as much as you do. I mean they want to 81 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: be coached, absolutely, they love them um and I think 82 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: if you go out through the entire offense of it 83 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: as a whole, I think that the field that we 84 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: have this year is different from what it's been in 85 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: the past few years, and you know, Dabel just brings 86 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: a different dynamic to this offense. Um, he's very open, 87 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: He's very much into what we feel on the field. 88 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: He understands he's not going to make us reprimand us 89 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: for a decision that we made when we're moving, you know, 90 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: a thousand miles a minute, So he understands that that 91 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: aspect of the game. And he's very you know, go 92 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: up to flow as far as guys trying to get 93 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: open and working different routes and things like that. Hey, Josh, 94 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: the other two quarterbacks on the roster, we're here a 95 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: couple of weeks before you were drafted. How much of 96 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: a head start do they have on this offense knowing 97 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: what's going on, and does that account for maybe the 98 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: fact that they get first second team reps? Um. I mean, 99 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: they've they've been here for a while, obviously they've Nate's 100 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: been here for a full year and aj just got here. 101 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: But they've had a little jump start right with Dable. Um. 102 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: You know, it hasn't been too much of a jump start. 103 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: Tho kind of caught up in the system, but obviously 104 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: they know a little more than I do at this 105 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: time and moment. So I'm just trying to catch up, 106 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: trying to learn from from both those guys in front 107 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: of me, and just trying to operate this offense at 108 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: a high level. Steve Tasker and John Murphy on One 109 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, we're talking to Josh Allen and you took 110 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: your kind of a day off today. You're kind of 111 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: getting some house cleaning. They got the medical people are 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: in doing tests, and you've got you guys signing autographs. 113 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: How's the pace been and the tempo been? Because a 114 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: lot has been said that because of the collective argue 115 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: with they don't let you guys wear pads. They don't 116 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, there's so much right now. It's all kind 117 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: of an academic exercise, although you guys are in shorts 118 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: and helmets. So telling has the pace been okay as 119 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: it helped or as it hurt or would you like 120 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: to you know, the guys complain about not being able 121 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: to the pace is great us. It allows our vets 122 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: to get kind of back into football shape, you know, 123 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: going into training camp. This is kind of necessary in 124 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: my opinion for the rookies. It's definitely a time where 125 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: things aren't moving too fast. We can kind of develop 126 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: and learn the offense, and guys on the defensive side 127 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: learn the defense and get game game like reps. You know, 128 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: guys are still moving out there. You know, we're we're 129 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: still throwing routes against DB's, We're still you know, moving 130 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: around defenders and rushes and stuff like that. Obviously there's 131 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: no contact, but it definitely gives you a game like 132 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: phil and as many reps as you can get with that, 133 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: it's going to help you on in the long run. Jess, 134 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: I was thinking about, Um, you hear sometimes rookies say this, 135 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: You really have had no downtime, right since since you're 136 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: Wyoming's schedule ended and you went out westward with Jordan 137 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Palmer for a while, and now you're here working and 138 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: even after the mini camp this week, the rookie stick 139 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: around for another week or so. Do you feel like 140 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: you need a break just to get away for a 141 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: while before camp? No? Are you sure a little bit? 142 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: This is what I've wanted to do my entire life, 143 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: and now that I'm here. It just kind of reiterated 144 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: the fact that this is what I've loved to do. 145 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: It's football twenty four to seven. The facilities are open 146 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: for us. I get to throw the ball every day. 147 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: I get to come in and be a professional football player. 148 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: And in my mind, that's the greatest thing that that's 149 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: ever happened to me. What did you get from Jordan 150 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Palmer working with him over the summer or spring really winter? 151 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: And how much contact have you have you been in 152 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: with him since you've been here for a couple of weeks? 153 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: You know, Jordan, I say this to everybody that I meet. 154 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be sitting here without Jordan. He's helping me 155 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: out tremendously. We talk every every few days or so. 156 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: We're always in a group message. They're going back and 157 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: forth and sharing some details. But I mean, in the summer, 158 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: I'll go back to him. I'll throw with them a 159 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: few days, just kind of convert with him and, um, 160 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, pick his brain a little bit more because 161 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: he's helped me out tremendously. Um, you talk about a 162 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: great dude. That's that's one right there talking. What's the 163 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: next step for you?

I'm here trying to get better, 170 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: trying to learn, uh, trying to be the best teammate possible. 171 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: And you know that's That's what I'm gonna do. Um 172 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: until I hear otherwise. You know, I'm not really focusing 173 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: on who gets reps win or where. I'm just focusing 174 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: on my reps that I get. I'm gonna try to 175 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: make sure that I'm doing them the right way and 176 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm paying attention to every detail. Josh, I want to 177 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: say a month ago, maybe six weeks ago, we talked 178 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: to Bill Parcels on the show The Hall of Fame. Coach. 179 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: You spent some time with him, which I found interesting. 180 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't think Parcels cared that much about 181 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: young guys. But you, you and what Darnold spent some 182 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: time with We did. We did, and that you get 183 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: out of that that was a fantastic experience. You know, 184 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: we went down to uh Jupiter, Florida and got to 185 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: go visit him in his home and got to see 186 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,559 Speaker 1: all the trophies and the pictures and memories that he had. 187 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: It was just something special because of how long he's 188 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: been around the game and the knowledge that he has. 189 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: You know, he had some great things for me and Sam. 190 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: You know, he shared a lot of knowledge with us. 191 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: And to go down there and talk with one of 192 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the greatest coaches of all time and talk football and 193 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: talk how to be a professional quarterback. You know, me 194 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: and Sam were like, you know, kids in a candy shop. Sure, 195 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: he said. One of the things that came out of that, 196 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: His big message for him is, you know, you got 197 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: to just get back in the huddle because when you 198 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: start playing, you're gonna mess up. Yeah, I mean everybody 199 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: does it and you and you don't become an NFL 200 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: quarterback until you're down. You've beaten beat thirty five to 201 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: ten and it's your fault and you got to get 202 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: back in the huddle as a player. What did you do? 203 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: You remember that? I mean, oh, absolutely, yeah, You've been 204 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: through that before at a different level, definitely. I mean 205 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: I think throughout life you can kind of apply in 206 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: those terms, but definitely in my foot career, there's been 207 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: times where you know, I've had bad games, I've had 208 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: bad plays, and you know, the team doesn't look at 209 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: you any different, but they expect you to get in 210 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: that huddle and be the same guy that you were 211 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: before that happened. And you know, Parcels reitervated that, and 212 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, he had a lot of examples of a 213 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: lot of great quarterbacks that have played under him, and 214 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: the things that they did throughout the week and the 215 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: repetitions that they got during practice. They were always trying 216 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: to perfect their craft. So you know, that was one 217 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: of the coolest experiences that I've had throughout this whole process. 218 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: What have you picked up about the vibe here or 219 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: the maybe the work ethic here in Buffalo with the Bills? 220 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: What have you learned? It's fantastic um the locker room, 221 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's special. That's the only way I 222 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: can kind of explain to it. You know, it's definitely 223 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: a family. Like Phil, I think everybody here cares about 224 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: each other and then we care about winning. We go 225 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: into the weight room and people put their heads down 226 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: and they go to work. You know, there's not much 227 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: goofing around that goes around here. Um, actually there's there's 228 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: times and places for that. But when we're doing things 229 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: in football terms, working out on the practice field, we're 230 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: trying to do things to put ourselves in positions to 231 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: win football games. And that's definitely the filth that I 232 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: get with you. So, you got these two guys like 233 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and Harrison Phillips wide and Teller and these 234 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: guys good, pretty good group of athletes. But to me, 235 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: it's been and Murph and I've spoken about a number 236 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: of times great dudes. I mean right, it's been a great, 237 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: great group of guys that come in. I couldn't have 238 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: asked for a better situation. And you know, from top down, 239 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: everybody in this rookie class, I've been able to spend 240 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of time with, you know, whether it's studying 241 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: late at night or just kind of hanging out in 242 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: our each other's room, was playing mad and going out 243 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: to eat with each other. You know, we've definitely formed 244 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: a lot of bonds here that are going to continue throughout, 245 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, our lifetimes. And it's been really cool to 246 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: kind of come into the same situation with fifteen to 247 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: eighteen other dudes that are doing the same thing. They're 248 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: trying to make a team and they're here to play 249 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: football and at the same time their dudes as well. 250 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: So getting to know each other's stories and backgrounds. It's 251 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: been really fun. A lot of people took notice of 252 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: the picture with you and Harrison Phillips. Over the weekend, 253 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: you ran into a wedding party out here in the party, yeah, 254 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: Austin Pros in that photo too.
