Thank you again. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.279 We could have been a little more enthusiastic. You know, 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.240 I don't know, Try that again. And our great audience 0:00:54.280 --> 0:01:00.680 that showed up this morning. Here they edit out the 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.920 first one. No one will ever know. All right, Seeton, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.960 what's the poll? Qull Oh is this still the Tom 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.440 Brady poll question? Well? 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.959 Yeah, we got two of them up there right now. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.200 Vince Wilfork, by the way, has joined the fight. He's 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.640 not pleased with Tom either. Who should Tom Brady root 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.440 for in this Super Bowl? I can't believe we're actually 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.440 asking this New England, Seattle or neither New England have 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.680 fifty five percent of that vote. Neither has thirty seven percent, 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.440 and then the biggest dog on the show today, Bo Jackson, 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.520 Gerald McCoy, Andrew Luck or Peter herb Street. Bo Jackson 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.600 running away with that one, Peter herb Street and second 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.000 with almost twenty percent of that vote. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:34.559 Andrew Luck. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.360 Just based on the way Bo Jackson is dominating, he's 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.520 currently in third. He is losing to the dog Peter, 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.480 but it's a respectable five point seven percent. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.080 I think he's okay. I think he's okay with that too, okay, 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.840 Age seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.520 Twitter handle at DP shell, Melissa Stark and Katie Hartungu. 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.160 They're working the sidelines for Super Bowl sixty. They will 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.160 join us in about twenty five minutes from now. Is 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.400 Andrew Luck, Stanford University general manager and former number one 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.440 overall pick by the Coltspack in twenty twelve. As we 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:12.519 make way for Andrew Luck on the program, looking lean, man, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:19.600 looks lean, how much weight did you lose? 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.960 A good bit twenty pounds. I will say it's too 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.720 early for my ego to be hurt by being behind 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.120 a dog at a poll. But I'm coming to terms 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:30.359 with that. 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:32.560 It is a good looking dog. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.440 Though it's a famous dog, it's a good looking dog. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:40.760 Yeah. How close did you come to coaching Stanford football? 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.040 Not close at all. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.880 You had no interest, no, no interest, no desire. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:45.880 Wasn't right for me? 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.480 Okay, I thought that that's as close as you can 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.280 get to replicating what it's like to play. You have 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.560 no interest in replicating that feeling. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:56.800 No. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.440 Look, I volunteer coach for two years at Pwelltahigh School 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.320 before before taking the GM job, was the freshman offensive 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.400 coordinator uh in JV. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:06.079 But were you good? 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.160 No, I don't think I was very good. I don't 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.919 think I was. It's I do think I do think 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.160 there's some truth to what you said, Dan about it's 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.200 the It's probably the closest thing to replicating what it's 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.200 like to playing, but not right for me. I want 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.280 to have an incredible respect for the coaching profession to 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:29.000 uh for my life, our family. What Stanford football needs 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.280 and needed a year ago and needs now like I'm 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:32.600 I'm in, I'm in the perfect spot. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.320 Explain what your role is. 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.080 Uh So I'm the general manager of the team. I 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.760 I think maybe in some ways also act like a 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.800 team president or an athletic director just for football. Do 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.440 a lot of fundraising, a lot of spreading the good word. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.200 I feel like a like an evangelical preacher barnstorman you 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.480 know the country, you know, to proselytizing about Stanford football. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.440 Roster management certainly made have made coaching changes, you know, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.440 the short tenure and hired Tavita Pritchard ours our as 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.560 our head coach and helping him with staff. And look, 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.320 we's what's still so unique about college sports as we 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.880 Stanford football exist within Stanford University's ecosystem, right like it's 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.839 we're part of this amazing institution of higher ed. So 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.039 building bridges with the academy. I mean, we have one 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.280 hundred and nine guys on the team, let's say, eighteen 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.520 to twenty two year olds. They're amazing. They also, like 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.000 eighteen to twenty two year olds, do some dumb stuff, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.279 like I still do dumb stuff, Like we all did 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.039 dumb stuff, and it's uh so working with them every 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.000 day is a blast. And yeah, it's a little bit 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.720 of everything. It's a little bit of everything, a lot 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:41.560 of learning on the job. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.440 Dan given nil if you were coming out of high school? 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.160 Would you have still gone to Stanford? 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.600 I would have look on what three or four years ago? 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.720 I'm not sure. You know, we we we were a 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.440 little slow to adapt and and embrace the changes. But 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.080 today app I was talking to Christian McCaffrey about this 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.560 last week, we we we we saw each other. Was 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.600 asking his perspective on it, and and and he was he's, 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.520 I'm sure he'd say it. If you're sitting right here, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.359 he'd go to Stanford again. Right. We have a unique 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.560 value proposition, and I do know we are serious about football. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.520 And if you're a serious football player that also has 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.480 the academic qualifications, the grades, you know we're the place 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:26.760 for you. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.039 But as far as money goes, yeah, and I have 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.840 somebody who's a great source on this. You got to 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.000 have around forty million dollars if you want to be 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.400 a top end football program. That feels like in the 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.360 in the treasure trove there the collectives you're nil? Is 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.960 that a fair number? Do you think a n Stanford 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.200 in that? 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.560 I'm not. I won't get into our numbers or any 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.000 other numbers. I know. I don't see the balance sheets, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.760 you know, including collectives, but it's it's a murky market. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.039 There's there's there's not much transparency to it. I think 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.320 there are certainly schools and programs that seem willing to 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.960 do whatever it takes, you know, to get there. We 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.000 think we can do it our way and be competitive 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.600 and look the person the pudding, right, we got to 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:14.840 go out and play games. You got to go out 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.400 and put a winning product on the field. You got 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.440 to teach great football. You got to coach great football. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.880 And I think we have that with our young men 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.200 in the locker room and our coaching staff. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.760 But how is it when you're negotiating with somebody who 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.000 wants money? Yeah, how does that work? Do you talk 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.240 to the player, the agent, the parents? 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:33.839 It's the full spectrum. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.200 But what is that like? 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.680 You got players certainly representing themselves, You've got agents, and 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.840 then you have the full continuum of agents, right from 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.200 those who have been doing it for a long time, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.600 from those just starting out on the journey, parents as well. Certainly, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.440 each one creates a little bit of a different dynamic 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.760 with its own challenges. I also have a great assistant GM. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.960 You know, I'm a people pleaser, Dan, So if I 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.080 it's still part of college is recruiting right, and fall 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.560 in love with the kid, and and and selling Stanford. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.400 So you know, I get compromise and negotiation fairly quickly. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.320 You know, what, do you want? Five million day? Okay, 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.760 I'll give it to you. Let's make a seven, let's 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:20.640 go here you go. You're I but it's uh, it's 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.080 it's a it's a muscle. I'm wanting to exercise as well. Absolutely, Okay. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.400 Uh, what do you miss about football? 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.040 You know? The elements of football that I do miss 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.960 are part of why I'm back in the game in 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.960 this role right as as a general manager, having a role, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.760 being on a team. Game days are fun, like I 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.120 I forgot, Like I actually sort of enjoy the stress 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.200 of are we gonna you know, win or not? Like 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.520 it's it's exhausting. Uh, in a in a real way. 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.320 How does the loss affect you when you're the GM 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.960 as opposed to a quarterback. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:02.720 Uh, you're not as physically hurt. I don't miss don't 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.920 miss getting hit. Okay, I don't miss getting hit. I 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.920 think you asked different questions the area were sporting our 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.040 coaches enough, Like there's no waiver wire in the NFL, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.240 there's no you don't sign in college like there is 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.119 in the NFL. You don't sign guys off the street 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.480 to a place. So you think about, you know, how 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.120 are we developing our guys? What are Do we have 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.880 enough of what we need for the future? Do you 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.680 know do I need to ask certain questions that help 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.480 us going? But I I you know one, you're You're 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.320 in it with everybody. It's in and it's fun to 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.560 be back in it. Uh and live in the highs 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:33.000 and lows. 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.760 He's Andrew luck, the Stanford University general manager. I did 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.560 not know this, but people at Stanford sent this to me. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.040 Stanford's one of five schools to produce a US president 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.679 and a Super Bowl winning quarterback. You know the answers, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:50.760 don't you? Okay? 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.400 I better know the answers. I hope I do. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.760 Okay, Who wants to take a guess here? There are 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:02.080 five schools, so Stanford's won. Paul Michigan Michigan, is there? 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:17.080 Marvin Delaware, Delaware? Sneaky Snaky Miami of Ohio Navy. Oh yeah, 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.120 who's the most famous graduate of Stanford? 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:29.960 Who is the most famous? I don't think Tiger graduated. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.280 You didn't you didn't give a degree. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:34.880 Christian hasn't graduated yet. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.480 Uh, do you give honorary degrees. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.439 I'm sure we give honorary I don't know if we 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.520 got I don't have that authority, Dan, I don't know 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.200 who's the most famous. Herbert Hoover was our president. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.359 Yeah, but he's not famous. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:58.080 Yeah, Larry Page and Serge oh h very rich. Yeah. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.160 I got to see Jim Plunkett last night, and he 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.680 might not be the most famous, but at least I 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.319 think in my life right now, to see Jim Plunkett 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.760 walk around and you know, to see a Heisman trophy, Yeah, 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.839 and gosh, hopefully NFL Hall of Fame soon, and he's 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.800 he's maybe the most relevant Stanford grad in my life 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.679 besides my wife. 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.400 I always thought that you were a defensive minded player 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:28.239 playing quarterback. Did you play with a like a defensive 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.200 player's mentality or am I overrating then? 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.079 I don't know. The last time I played defense was 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.160 I think seventh or eighth grade, and I got to 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.360 play defensive end. I enjoyed it, not as much as 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.200 I enjoyed quarterback. I did relish the opportunities to hit people. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.360 They were few, but when they popped up, it was 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:51.199 I enjoyed that. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.840 But when you would throw an interception, you wanted to 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:55.360 make the time. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.920 There was part of me that did. And you know, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.600 it's some of that, and I certainly if there's young 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.480 quarterbacks out there that I'm talking to, some of that 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.280 takes a toll, right, And there's there's part of being 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.040 a quarterback that you've got to But. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.120 Can you do what Peyton did and just go into 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:13.120 a fetal position. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.640 I'm not your went to a fetal position. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.880 He went down. He wasn't going to try to make 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:20.520 a tackle there. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.679 Yeah, I played the way I played. I'm not sure 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.120 if I could have done it anyway else. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.160 When you look at the game, it used to be 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.360 that college and the pros were very different. Now the 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.000 NFL has taken a lot of what college football does. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.160 Are they still doing that that what you run offensively 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.720 is what a lot of these NFL teams are doing, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.920 or making the transition easier for these quarterbacks to take 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.680 your like you know Cam Newton, they Carolina took his 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.560 system at all. Aren't just to make it easier? You know, 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:54.280 the transition. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.040 There's a couple questions there. One the transition of quarterbacks 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.400 from college to the NFL, which which can be you know, 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.160 can be a tough one. I know how I was 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.520 trained at Stanford with Jim Harbaugh and David Shaw and 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.800 Greg Roman. Was a was an incredible training ground to 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.760 come into an NFL and run, you know, a Bruce 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.360 Arians offense and and handle some sophistication in the run 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.680 game and in the past game. I do think, uh, 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.400 franchises need to be very honest about what their quarterbacks need, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.320 especially rookie quarterbacks, because it's a lot. It's a lot 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.080 on a young man's plate, and it's a tough position, right, Uh, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.080 a really tough position. And then as far as the 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.199 the constant evolution of offenses, I I do think college 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.800 because of the breadth and at all levels, you know, 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:46.240 including you know, especially fcs and then FBS, people try 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.400 stuff right they do. It's it's almost like a Petri 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.440 dish for offense. And I know part of what what 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.720 I enjoyed my last year playing in the NFL with 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.800 Nick sirianni and and Frank Reich as we'd watched we'd 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.800 watch film of what I was was doing in the 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.839 RPO game and install the what we thought we could 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.280 we could do well yeah. Absolutely, Look, you've got to 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.199 look for an edge on offense, right. If you get 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.800 too stagnant, you die. And and I think that'll always happen. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.600 I think I think that will continue to happen where 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.920 college is a bit of a bit of a you know, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.480 try it out area. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.480 What role did your wife play in your decision to retire? 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:32.640 Oh? I retired and she she was six maybe seven 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.960 months pregnant with our eldest, and she was loving being pregnant. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.319 And once I felt supported by her no matter what, 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.280 you know, through it all, and so she was just 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.480 there support. I didn't. I didn't feel alone through it 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.880 and helpful, helpful. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.400 But you run it by you know, you're it's going 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.080 to be a big weekend. You were going to get 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.240 to that Sunday and hold a press conference, weren't you? 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.000 And then Saturday at leaks? Yeah, what was it like 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.480 when you came home after Saturday's game? 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.760 Well? What her her birth her thirtieth birthday party was 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.560 that was the weekend before and she's she's accused me 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:12.160 ever since of hijacking her birthday party to tell our 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.680 family who came into town and our close friends that 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.480 like it was done so I get to I get 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:18.920 to live with that for the rest of my life, 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:24.400 in our in our relationship. Sorry, honey. Uh. And then 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.240 that weekend, I I remember, you know, I want to 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.600 say she used to she used to scooter, like take 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.360 the electric scooters from our condo in Indianapolis to Lucas 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.120 Oil Stadium because it's right there downtown. And so she was, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.120 you know, she wasn't she wasn't gonna go to the game. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.360 She know I wasn't playing. It was the preseason game. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.680 Chuck Pagano was on the other sideline as the as 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.840 the coordinator. Uh. I think for the Bears. Maybe it 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.120 was a team Yeah, is that right? Thanks? Thank you, Paul. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.080 I'm very disappointed you did not do my impression, which 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.120 is which is I I may I may accuse it 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:03.640 as an act of solt miss perhaps for not doing it. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.320 But she was late to the game, so she got 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.240 on a scooter to get there. When she realized the 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:09.840 news broke, it was like, oh shoot, I got to 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.760 get there and support and support. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.280 It was a Lime scooter. They're all over in San 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.960 Francis for the lives. They're readily available public transportation. It 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.800 was about forty five minutes to get down here, down 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.040 twenty pounds for my playing glad to be in charge 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:28.240 so Stamford Cardinal football go o red. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.720 I did ask him if he was going to do 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.680 the impersonation. He goes, I don't know, I probably should. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.080 Andrew is such a nice guy. He could still pump 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.120 my face.

I don't know if there's a big market 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.600 out there for Andrew Luck impersonators here like Frank Kelly 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.360 Endo is probably not going to do one. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.360 Yes, But when Andrew came back and took over his 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.880 Stanford Football's gym, I got to bring it back out again. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:56.720 Thank you. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.520 Nobody was more excited to see you back in mainstream 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.720 America then, thank good luck with the role there. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:03.280 Thank you? 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:08.720 And uh, can you get fired?
