1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. Thanks for joining us here on

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots Monday.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 2: How are you guys.

4
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: We're doing well. We've talked to you now the last

5
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: few weeks. The record has not gone in the direction

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: you guys want. You're one in four. The points have

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: gone in the wrong direction, from twenty to seventeen to

8
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: fifteen to three to now zero yesterday. You've told us

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: before it's going to get better. It has not. You

10
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: said you're going to watch tape, and I'm sure you

11
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: guys are, but that hasn't seemed to help either. Why

12
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: should we and fans believe that things are going to

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: get better?

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is, you know, just

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: try and figure out the root cause to each of

16
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: the issues. And that's playing better as the team, playing

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: better for me as a quarterback. And we just didn't

18
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: have the answers to the test yesterday. And you just

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: got to move forward in this league, that's what it is.

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: You can't look back. You got to move forward. And

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: I'm not happy with anything. Nobody is and it starts

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: with me as the quarterback.

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: So Mack, you you say there that you didn't have

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: the answers to the test and I believe in your

25
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: appearance with the media after yesterday's game at the podium,

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: at one point you said something about not being ready

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: to go, feeling like you're not ready. Is that an

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: answer about the game plan going into these games?

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: I think for us, like I always say, every game

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: is different, and as a quarterback of the offense, I

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: want to go out there and score on the opening

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: drive and it's frustrating when that doesn't happen. And like

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: I said, you just want to find the root cause

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: to why it's not happening, and then from there you

35
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: have to problem solve I'm and figure out, hey, what

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: can we do better? What can I do better? Obviously

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: it's been a trend for a few years around here

38
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: and just has to be an improvement and that'll really

39
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: help us get off the better start in the games.

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: Mac yesterday and then again today, Bill said that it's

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: time to start over, that the plan was to sort

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: of start over. Do you think it's time to start

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: over for you personally? Do you think that is starting

44
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: over this season is something that's even feasible after five

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: weeks and everything in the preseason, all that leading up.

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: What does that sort of mean to you and how

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: do you plan to do that?

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is being all in together.

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: And obviously it's not looking great right now, and we

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: got to really look in the mirror and figure out

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: how we can respond to adversity. And I think we

52
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: have the potential and talent to do that, and obviously

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: we have to go out there and do it. So

54
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: it's hard when everything's they're not going great, But at

55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: the end of the day, we have a lot of

56
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: football aft to play and I know there's a lot

57
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: of fight in the team and my teammates.

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: Have you ever been on a team before that's sort

59
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: of had like a reset like this early on in

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: the season.

61
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great question. I think everyone you

62
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: know has played sports for a long time and they'd

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: be lying if they've said every year was perfect, right.

64
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: So I think that's the important part, is understanding that

65
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: sport brings a lot of adversity and as a team

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: you have to be all in together challenge and face

67
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: the challenge. Excuse me, and that's going to be a

68
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: very big part for us. It has been the last

69
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and we, you know, have to do

70
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: better and I have to do better, and it's going

71
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: to start with practice.

72
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: Along those lines going back to high school, before high

73
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: school youth sports is Is this the most challenging stretch

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: for you as a quarterback that you can remember?

75
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for for everybody, like I said, sports

76
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: has a lot of adversity, there's a lot of emotion

77
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: around everything. And for me, it's about what's my situation

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: right now and how can I get better and how

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: can I help the team win? And that's just by

80
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: being me and going to work every day, working hard

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: and bringing guys with me. And I can do a

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: much better job of that in terms of just being

83
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: me and bringing guys along. So you have to fight.

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: There's no time to feel sorry, and we do have

85
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: to reset and come up with a game plan and

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: attack it.

87
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: We're talking to Patriots quarterback Mac Jones here on a

88
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: pay It's Monday on w E E. I. I asked

89
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: you this last week, Mac, after you were benched against Dallas,

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: benched again yesterday. Have you been told you're the starter

91
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: this week?

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: We were off today, so obviously I'm going to focus on,

93
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, watching all the tape I can, and I'm

94
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: really just looking forward to trying to come up with

95
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: a game plan of what I can do better, and

96
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: that's what I do every week, and I have done

97
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: that every week since I've been in the NFL. So

98
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: I know that there's a we haven't done great on

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: offense and there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding everything. But

100
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I got to go

101
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: out there and focus on what I can control.

102
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: Do you think you deserve to be the starter? Since

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: you haven't heard yet, do you think you deserve to

104
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: be the starter?

105
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing, like I said, it's focusing

106
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: on how do I get better?

107
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: Right?

108
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: What are the issues here? What have I done in

109
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: the games that hasn't put this in a great spot?

110
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: And how can I do better? And that's what you

111
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: focus on, right. You have to get back to one

112
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: play at a time, focusing on what's your job? You know,

113
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: how can you do it really well to help the team?

114
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: And I think that's for everybody. And of course I'm

115
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: going to try and be the same guy and be

116
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: me and bring guys along with me. So that's very

117
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: important and I know that I can do it, and

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 2: I have to go out there and bring the guys

119
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: with me.

120
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: There was a report last week from the NFL Network

121
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: pregame actually about last week that Bailey z Appy got

122
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: increased reps during the week. Were your reps affected in

123
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: practice in any way last week?

124
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: Every week's different. I think the biggest thing for me

125
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: is take advantage of what you can and what you have.

126
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, I've gotten a

127
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: lot of practice reps with a lot of these guys

128
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: and feel really comfortable with different guys, and we just

129
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: had to continue to work, whether it's the walkthroughs, practice,

130
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: extra meetings, all that stuff. So we've been doing that.

131
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: Just like I said, we didn't have the answers for

132
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: the test here and we just got to find ways

133
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: to put a better product out there.

134
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: Mac looking at some of the stats from yesterday, your

135
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: time to throw right now about two point six seconds

136
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: on average from yesterday. How are you feeling about your

137
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: ability to process and get the ball to who you

138
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: need to be hind the offensive line right now?

139
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, we're just trying to figure out, Hey,

140
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: what's the root cause some of this stuff and how

141
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: can we put more points up? And really it it

142
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: starts with running the ball and we can do it,

143
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: and we have a good offensive line. They're fighting up there,

144
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: doing a good job. It's just we got to establish

145
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: the run and all that stuff. But yeah, it's got

146
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: to improve. From my standpoint. How can I get the

147
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: ball to the open guy. That's what I'm going to

148
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: focus on, and we got to look at it on

149
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: tape and figure out ways that we can do better.

150
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: Mac.

151
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: There was a report yesterday from Henry McKenna at Fox Sports,

152
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: and it was not a quote from you, but it's

153
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: at a source close to you. I had a quote about,

154
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: no matter how good of a cook you are, you

155
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: cannot make garbage taste good. Again, this wasn't something that

156
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: was attributed to you, but I wanted to give you

157
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: a chance to sort of respond to that since people

158
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: are going to sort of talk about it a lot

159
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: here and it's been something that your name's attached to.

160
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't see that. I'll do social media, but yeah,

161
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: I try to stay off and eliminate the noise, and

162
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I disagree with that. I think we have

163
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: a really talented group of guys that I've been fortunate

164
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: to work with this whole of season and through the season.

165
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: Some guys for three or four years, and I've been

166
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: been a part of a great organization, So I definitely

167
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: disagree with that. And I didn't hear that or see that.

168
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'd never try to focus on the

169
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: outside noise.

170
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: I know you're frustrated and the team's frustrated. What about

171
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: people in your personal life? You know, family friends, like

172
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: are they are they frustrated with the situation.

173
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: I've never come on here in the media and talked

174
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: about my personal life. So I think the biggest thing

175
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: is everyone's in this together, like I said, and we

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: have the right people to do it. It's football, right, that's

177
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: what you want to do. You want to bring your

178
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: team together, and that's what I'm going to focus on

179
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: in terms of my football life.

180
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: I believe it was Hunter Henry yesterday who after the

181
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: game Max said that mood in the locker room just

182
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't great. Understandably, two back to back tough losses.

183
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: You talk about turning the page and putting this behind you.

184
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: Is that becoming more challenging now? And who do you

185
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: guys look to in the locker room to try to

186
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: figure out where to start on just burying these two weeks,

187
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: I think.

188
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: Just learning from it, and it's always a learning experience

189
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: whether you win or lose. And at the end of

190
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: the day, you got to move forward. Like I always say,

191
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: every week, some new week, and you know tomorrow we'll

192
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: get more information on how we're going to do it.

193
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: And I believe it comes from everybody that coaches players,

194
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: and we all can do a better job, and it

195
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: starts with the leaders of the team and you know,

196
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: the captains and everybody. So we definitely have a big

197
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: challenge on our hands, and I'm going to take the

198
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: positive rout like I said, the past couple of weeks

199
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: and try and figure out ways to win football games.

200
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you Mac about Bill O'Brien. I

201
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: saw you guys talking on the bench a couple of

202
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: times during the game yesterday. What we're sort of those conversations, Like,

203
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: I know you're not going to tell us exactly what

204
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: you said. What was kind of the tenor of those conversations,

205
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: And do you feel like there's still a good relationship there.

206
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Obi has done a great job this year, just

207
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: trying to talk through some things on the sideline, and

208
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: like I said, we just it was a rough day

209
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: on the farm and didn't really have a lot of

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: answers for the test. And that's something that we're trying

211
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: to improve and how can I do that better as

212
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback. So we're definitely communicating and everybody's trying to

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: work hard to work together.

214
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: Did you agree with the decision to punt on fourth

215
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: and three down twenty four to nothing early in the

216
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: third quarter.

217
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really comment on things things like that,

218
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, we shouldn't be in that position,

219
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: so it's hard to say, right, you want to be

220
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: in a competitive game, so yeah, I won't. I don't

221
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: comment on those things.

222
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: Do you like Do you like going for I mean,

223
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'd want the ball in your hands on

224
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: fourth down and the ability to go for it though, Right,

225
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of quarterbacks say that.

226
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: I think the big thing for any quarterback and the

227
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: included is we're all very competitive, right, But there's so

228
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: much that goes into the game management and things like that,

229
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: and and that's really the head coaching job.

230
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: It's time now for the Quarterback Question of the Week,

235
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: La Times over the weekend about different quarterbacks. I think

236
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: it was Jalen Hurt, c. J. Stroud, maybe Josh Dobbs

237
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: was the other one. They played chess to stay mentally

238
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: sharp and kind of work on processing under pressure. Is

239
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: there anything you do, uh to work on that deal

240
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: with that stay sharp? Is there anything you like to

241
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: do to kind of test yourself and and and put

242
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: that uh processing to the test under pressure.

243

244
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: and in season two. I have a training plan every

245
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: week of how to attack that. So whether it's brain games,

246
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: board games or whatever, trying to keep your you know,

247
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: brains kind of up to speed. Like they're talking.

248
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: About what board games, because I'm like, you know, I'm

255
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,000

Speaker 2: do it around the league.
