  Speaker 1: spa week.
• 0:27

• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It is a time to get a nice massage aromatherapy.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Are you feeling relaxed? Key, Oh, I am.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And you put on a lovely voice to say all
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: of that as well to me.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I try. Do you know who's probably.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: People will be falling asleep on the tube listen.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Well, do you know what? We kind of need it actually?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you after that game against Detroit,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean, I don't know how much
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you talk about it, O Ky.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Do we just say worst loss in franchise history and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: move on?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Dude, We'll talk about her a little bit, but it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is a it is a yeah, it is yeah, things
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are not going so well on the field. We'll talk
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: about it. Also A lot of bigger picture stuff actually
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on the show today as well, positive inroads into UK
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: participation in flag football. I love flag football, Key, And
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm really excited about is it is going to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: be at the Olympics as well. So we're going to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: talk about that. The Jags are making in roads, I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: suppose with UK grassroots manager and Jags die hard Andy
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Scott's going to join us today, while UK super fan
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Molly is along with the Big Question. Her Big question
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: is maybe the best yet, Key, It is the toughest
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to answer, and more importantly, it's the one that I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: think is going to be on most Jagged fans minds
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: at the moment, don't you think, Key.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: It's the question that needed to be asked at the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: latest at this stage. So I'm really glad that Molly
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: has brought it to the table.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And you know them both, an't you, Key?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I do? I know Andy and Molly. I'll put it
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: this way. One of them has excellent facial hair.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, all right, fine, okay, let's just put a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: cap on that Detroit game. We'll discuss it quickly and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: then we'll just you know, put a bow on it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Because we've come become used in narrow defeats. This one
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was anything but I mean there's been a couple of blowouts,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: hasn't there Like earlier in the season against the Bills,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't it? And this one against the Lions. Yeah. Bucky
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jag Social channel said that they looked
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: discouraged very early in the game. They knew they couldn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: compete against a heavyweight team in the Lions. I mean,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we do have to say that Detroit Lions are potentially
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: still Bucky picking up on the coach Coach Peterson as well,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: saying that, you know, they look tired. So yeah, it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: essentially a moment where we are thankful for the bye week.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And not only are we thankful for the bye week,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I think the team are thankful for the bye week.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I think the coach is thankful for the bye week
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Key yeah know, I think it was on Monday said
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the byeweakers come at the right time. Let's hope that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: all jokes aside, that they can regroup and that they
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: can refresh. And I'm not saying by any means now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: mathematically there's still a chance, but they also will finish
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: with a negative record no matter what. I'm not saying
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that they're going to make a run. I'm not saying
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that anything is going to happen. But what you do
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: want to see is you do want to see a
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: team that isn't giving up, and you do want to
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: see a team that comes back trying to compete and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: trying to make the most of the rest of this season,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: even if it's not for this season, even if it's
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: just for the future of the franchise.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Well, the last couple of games, obviously Mac Jones Jacksonville Nate.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: If Mac Jones has been starting because of Trevor Lawrence's injury,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: do we like look back at it now and just think, well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, these games were close. Maybe Trevor Lawrence wasn't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: quite getting the appreciation maybe that he deserved. Maybe he
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was keeping the games closed because offensively, you know, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: mean just in that game, actually in the last two games, offensively,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been great, has it. Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I read something online this week that was talking about
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence potentially being the most underrated player in the NFL,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: not just QB, but underrated player in the NFL. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: don't know where I stand on that, but I do
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: think he's certainly obviously makes a massive difference to this franchise,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: even if that is just keeping them competitive against really
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: tough opponents, which is what the Jags have had this season.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm not professional shoulder injury physiotherapist, as you know, Jay,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: but let's hope that he gets what he needs and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: can come back to the team when the time is right,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: because I don't think we should be rushing this.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we spoke at length in we last week
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about that about should Trevor be rushing back to get
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on the field, or you know, should he potentially just
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be waiting it out, you know, even maybe for the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: rest of the season. I feel like we do have
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to mention, you know, maybe the elephant in the room
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit key. There were rumors this week and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: potentially fans would have been reading about some coaching changes.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Whilst it's no doubt that the team hasn't been performing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: up to what a lot of Jaguars fans and indeed
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the players and the coaching staff would have expected them,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know, to be playing, I don't really know quite
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: what would be the big positive in changing the coaching
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: staff right now.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: No, I agree, I completely agree. We actually said we
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: said it last week. Jay and I spoke to JP
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: on Monday and he said the same thing. What is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the benefit of changing any of the higher ups right now?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: What does that achieve? What you do is you focus
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: on what you're doing well, you try and amplify that,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and you try and finish the season well, and then
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: at the end of the season it's potential for clean
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: slate and whatever else. But right now, focus on the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: positives and try and amplify them. That's it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there's there's definite reasons to get
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rid of your head coach or whoever else coaching staff,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you know, in season, and one of those reasons is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: if it's a toxic environment and that we have seen
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: instances over before exactly. Yeah, you know there are instances
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of that, but there's no reason to think that that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: might be the case in this particular instance. So it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a different thing. And the other
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: thing I think we should mention as well is though
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the offense definitely don't get going in either of the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: last two games Detroit and Minnesota, arguably two of the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL. I'm not sure if we
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: take any solace out of that key.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: For me, it's slightly different with the Packers game and
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the Eagles game because you have Trevor Lawrence playing in
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: those against two good teams and they're competitive. But like
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: you look at what's happening on the field right now,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Mac Jones is not playing well.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Jaguars offense in the last eight quarters without Trevor Lawrence
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: twenty first downs, three hundred and thirteen total yards, thirteen points. Okay, wow,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Lions at halftime in the game against the Jaguars
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen first downs, three hundred and six total yards, twenty
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: eight points. Making a point there that this team is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: missing Trevor Lawrence. It's a weird thing, isn't it? In
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: reality because this team hasn't got their franchise quarterback in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a weird way. It just proves how much they need him.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It kind of proves the doubters. I don't know if
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it proves the downs was wrong, but it is just
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: further accentuating that point I suppose.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Do you know what says it to me is like, right,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: let's look at the Eagles game the end of the
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Eagles game, right Trevor through that interception, Jags lose the game.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: But the difference is Trevor got us into that position. Yes,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he made a bad throw, but he got us into
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: that position. Mac Jones is not getting us into that position.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I know that Detroit Lions did beat the Jacksonville Jankuars
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the other day, but speaking objectively, like not even like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I think, I just want to speak for football fans
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: in general. I do really hope that they get to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I think I think that, you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Detroit as a team and as a city, they never
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: having got a Super Bowl. They've been bad for so long.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I know that they beat the Jags heavily.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: But it's a really good good story for the Detroit Lions.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, you know. And the Buffalo Bills and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions are two of the teams that obviously
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: beat the Janquars well this year, but both of those
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: teams are teams that could potentially win the Super Bowl.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Those two in a super Bowl would be kind of fantastic,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I think, because I think.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: See Kansas City in the super Bowl again, I don't
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: mind who it is.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Did you see this guy, and we're not gonna don't
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: want to talk about too much because I want to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: talk to him. I want to talk to this person
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. I don't know if you saw this
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on Twitter or x whatever we're calling it. Nfl UK
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: tweeted it if you haven't seen it. They're Jags fan
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: over in the UK who has done out his man
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: cave for Christmas. Right, So you walk in Christmas Jags
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: decorations and the whole thing is just filled with Jags gear.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And this is if you're a Jags fan. This is
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: like your dream at Christmas dream? Have you seen it? Key,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: It's spectacular, isn't it. It's really good. You know what,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube, let's include the video of
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: it because it looks you can't. Words won't do it justice.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It's it's very like that is dedication.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get on over to YouTube. If you haven't seen
• 9:54

• 9:56
  Speaker 1: on YouTube. Let's not forget. You can watch this whole
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: episode on YouTube as well. Go subscribe because I really
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: want to get this person on because I want to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: talk to them about kitting it out, because it's not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: like a Sunday afternoon, endeavor. Do you know what I mean?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: This is like, No, it's taken weeks, not just of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: actually physically doing it, but the planning behind it as well.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, bit of positivity in that the semi finalists for
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fames Class of twenty twenty five
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: has been announced and it features two former Jacksonville Jaguars
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Tory Holt, the wide receiver who played for the Jacksonville
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Jaguars back in two thousand and nine, and of course
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a man who has got to the semi finals six times,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Fred Taylor for the running back. Of course, you know, potentially,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the JAG's best ever running back who played
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for the Jags ninety eight to two thousand and eight.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Is this his year? Key? I act like you've got
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: any say over it?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been debating with the rest of the team. Yes,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: it is his year. I hope it is. Do you
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: know what I was thinking about? I used to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: this thing with players that was called the blitz, right,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and it was a minute to answer as many questions
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: as you can, And two of the questions was what's
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: your professional goal and what's your personal goal? Professional? And
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the answers were pretty much always the same. Professional goal,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, personal Goal, Pro Football Hall of Fame, so
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's the same for a lot of players.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So absolutely lovely man I've I've been very fortunate to
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: meet him a couple of times and he is always
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: really really lovely, So for him, yeah, I really hope
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: this is his year.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: The other if you're just interested, some of the other
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: players that are in the semi final include these are
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: some players are in their first year of eligibility, Okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: so that means that they last played a professional game
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in the twenty nineteen season. Luke Keikley of the Panthers
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is in it. Eli Manning of course, who won a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls, to Ell Suggs, Earl.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Thomas first touchdown in the UK.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Ah, there we go, I'm right, Adam Veneri. Also, who
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: else is in there? Eric Allen, Jared Allen, who is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in the NFL UK and Ireland Ring of Honor, Antonio Gates,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: James Harrison. So there's a lot of big hitters. Heinz
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Ward is there? So, Yeah, there's a There's a lot
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of big hitters, isn't there so, and only a few
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of them will get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: But we're behind the former Jags in particular. I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it's fed to say we're behind Fred Taylor, aren't we.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fingers crossed for Fred? In fact, hashtag fingers crossed
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: for Fred.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Hashtag fingers cross for Fred was WEIRDI exactly? Social media? Key,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Let's talk jag tag. Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: let's talk positives now. With the incredible work that the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Jags are doing in the UK at grassroots level. Andy
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Scott actually he leads to the program for good measure,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: actually is a Jags fan, big Jags fan, which I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: suppose you have to be, Andy, don't you.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: It really helps the organization for sure. Yeah, massive fan
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: of American football all round.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it look difficult season. I think that's fair to say,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Let's start by all three of us picking in.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Let's pick a highlight of the season. Shall we to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: get us in a good mood. Let's start this off. Key,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you kick off. Jay.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I reckon, you could predict what I'm gonna go with.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Cam Little hitting the winner against
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the Colts in the throwback jerseys. That for me highlight
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: because I think someone else is going to say something
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: about Wembley. So I'm going to go with at the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Bank throwback jerseys. Cam Lit will hit in the winner.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That was beautiful, Andy, what you're saying.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I love this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I was also going to go with special teams in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: this instance, I'm gonna go with Park of Washington run
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: run back obviously, punt return for touchdown, phenomenal play.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I was actually in the when.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I missed it, so lightly awkward, but certainly watched it
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: back on filming.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: What a moment, great celebration the whole stadium as well,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: so you could.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Just hear people celebrating, but you had no idea.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Why exactly that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Yep, we're just something good's happened. I just don't know
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: what exactly.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: You know from the roar of the crowd that it
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: was a it was a drags play as well, So.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just going to go with the the emergence
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of Brian Thomas Junior in general. I think, I know
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: we speak about two different players quite a lot here
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: until talk. Don't we speak about Camlet and Bryce Thomas Junior.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But I think there's a good reason for that. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: when you've got a season where you are searching for positives,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've got a long term positive there.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You know, this isn't just like a game. JAG's good
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to Wembley. This is a This is a positive for
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this season, going to be a positive for next season
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and hopefully a lot longer than that. How was it
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: for you, Andy having the team over. Did you get
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: them involved in, you know, grassroots and community projects.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, we always do.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: We had player out for our school's visit, which was
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: really exciting. We also had Tony Vasselli and a couple
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: of alumni down to our grassroots activation Jagtag Extra Time,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: which was phenomenal. Highlight would be open practice at the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Grove sixteen practice squad players interacting with the Jagtag kids
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: on the field. Lewis rees Sammit there signing autographs. Fantastic day.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: What more can you ask for?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: That's incredible, dude, talk to us a little bit about
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the growth of Jagtag getting to one hundred k recently,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: which is just fantastic news man.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It's the start and a headline that we're really proud of.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I think the pride for me also comes from transferring
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: those kids from the Jagtag pathway into actually playing American
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: football within their baffer teams or within their networks themselves.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: But how did we get there?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Small steps, I would say we started off in the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Fulham founder used that program to kind of expand into
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the schools across the southwest of London, and then we
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: basically went for a licensed model program to work with
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: our providers, and that increased the football of Jagtag, you know, immensely,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: especially across different geographies Manchester, Liverpool, London, big presence in
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Northern Ireland now as well, which is fantastic. Jacktag was
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: born in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen and it was really
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to get kids participating in football, throwing the football around,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: interacting with their classmates.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: And then it became a program.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: That we aligned in rules with NFL Flag, which is
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: obviously huge, and we just progressed it from that point
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: on really.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And I want to just go back to what you
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: were talking about with Lewis riezamit there as well, because
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if as much as people would
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: have been interested in Trevor Lawrence or you know, Josh
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Haines Allen I wonder if there was just a lot
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: of love for Lewis reed Zammit when you were out there.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And the crossover everybody knows his story, you know, coming
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: from where he came from a different sporting background. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: think that's really exciting for kids. We're under no illusion
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that you know, we're a niche sport and there's still
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you know, football, rugby, you know, bigger sports that are
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: out there. But it's great to kind of capture those
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: kids that fall through the cracks with those those sports
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and can actually come over to Jagtag and you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: really find a place and find a home. And Lewis
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Free Summit is a very good example of someone they
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: can aspire to.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I do feel like there must be people, like, you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: kids that be playing Jagtag that will be looking back
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: on times years earlier where they're like, oh, I've met
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that player, do you know what I mean? Like it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: like I've met that player, or like, you know, I've
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: got his autographs and things like that.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I was at the Tottenham Stadium when we were playing
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: away and I saw from miles away and Andre Cisco
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Jagtag T shirt standing out in the crowd, and it
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: was really a nice moment for me to see that
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: this kid was leaning over the railing trying to get
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a high five and he called out to Andre and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he came over and dabbed him up high five to him,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and it was a really nice recognition moment because I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: knew that they'd met each other at one of our
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Jagtag events when Andre.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Cisco was in town.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So there's plenty of those stories, but that one was
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: really one that jumped out to me because that fan
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: really had that deep interaction and that connection with that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: specific player who was fantastic and of things.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Like that, I mean, how does jack Tag weave into
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the initiatives of nfl UK and bafer as well to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: get kids playing.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We're trying to get kids playing our sport, and then
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: it's a case of connecting with their local baffer teams
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and really moving through the skills and development so that
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: they can pathway into the next step of their football journey.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Some people would want to take that into contact, some
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: are happy staying in the flag space as well, So
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: we've kind of got two pathways there. If you're looking
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to progress into the contact space, there's there's plenty of
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: options for you within baffer and then we also hope
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and aspire to get kids into the NFL Academy and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: also into you know, national programs, Great Britain programs, Irish
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Wolfhounds teams. And there's been some good stories of Jagtech
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: kids not only doing that but actually going into NCAA
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Division One programs as well.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. Tom Brady played Jagtag No.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: No.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: With the one hundred and ninety ninth pick. I personally
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: coached a young lad called Peter Clark.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: But Clark I saw him, saw him play last week
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for Temple.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: He's currently playing for the Temple Ours. And he came
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: through the jag Tech program in one of our schools
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: in Southwest London and very early on, brilliant story for him.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously went onto his local Baffert teams, went through the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: NFL Academy and his journey's just been incredible to what
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: obviously grew about six or seven inches in that time
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: as well, So that always helps being a tight.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And I love that dude. Talking about you coaching as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I've been watching you coach for a few years now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I been to a few Jagtag and Baffert events, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I notice your personal growth in that department as well,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and how much pride you take in being a good coach,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: and I think that sets the standard for how good
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Jagtag is getting.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mussively appreciated that first of all, and I
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: think we also aspire to be the best that we
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: can on the field all the way, because you have
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to set that example. I'm also only as good as
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the mentors that I've had around me and the people
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: that I've learned from, So I feel that I'm in
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the process of paying that back somewhat as well, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to have these guys come up underneath
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: me and let me pass on my skills that I've
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: learned over the years for them, whilst always being in
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the process of learning myself. And you know, we mentioned
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the Jags influence on that learning as well, and coach
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Heith Farwell, who was on the player tour with us,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: we also ran a clinic with him, a coaching clinic,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: and it's just phenomenal to see the knowledge.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: You know, I think.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I'm at a certain point and then I hear his
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: knowledge and it's just absolutely incredible. To taking away one
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: or two real gems from that is really good development
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Very jealous I think of any like school kids that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: get to play flag football in school. I hate a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: cross country and I've much preferred this to be honest.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Let's talk twenty twenty eight the Olympics, of course, which
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: is going to have flag football at the Olympics for
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the first time, which is massive boost for you as well, I.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Imagine, absolutely huge.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: The work to get that over the line was immense
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: from everyone involved, from IFAF, from the league.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Fantastic opportunity.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I've already got my sights set on some jag Tag
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: participants that I genuinely believe will be there. Fantastic already
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: having these conversations, which is very cool, especially on the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: female side, where we legitimately have a chance to medle.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, fifth ranked in the world at the moment
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: as it stands. Rankings came out yesterday, very very topical
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: at the moment, and looking forward to that next four
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: year journey in that cycle.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Tell me about the Union Jacks Foundation.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, Union Jack's Foundation was officially launched in twenty
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: twenty three, although we piloted it in twenty twenty. Foundation's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: objective is to work with underserved communities and really give
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: back through the medium sport essentially, So we have multiple
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: programs that we run underneath the foundation, Umbrella flag football programs,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: all girls programs, and just some kind of academic programming
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: as well, and it's a really good way for us
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to connect back directly to the community, for us to
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: work with partners such as Sport England and charitable organizations.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the work that we're doing at the moment
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is really good and I'm really excited about what that
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: can look like in the future.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And in Northern Ireland as well.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: The programming in Northern Ireland that we're doing at the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: moment is really centering around our jag Tag. It's one
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: of two areas where we're really strong with the all
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: girls program as well, so all female jag Tag, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: the beauty of that part of the program is that
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: they also empower young leaders, so we're actually having girls
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: that are seventeen eighteen kind of teaching girls that are
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: eleven twelve years old, which again is such a good
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: product for the growth of the sport, bringing on the
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: next generation.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: So there's a part of me that's like this is
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: great for kids, but I'm quite jealous, to be honest
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: with you, Can I play.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Would be a tiny bit too old?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not a tiny bit too old, but there
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: is there may be another way as a key point.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe we could bring you up as a coach.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Potentially, there we go, Will I get to be a
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: coach of the Olympics? So Andy?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: So, Andy has clearly modeled himself on coach Nielsen. So
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: which coach would you model.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: With a mustache? Of course? Which, Oh, that's a really
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: good that's a really good question. Key Bill Belichick, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: feel like I have the same what's wrong with Bill Belichick?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Two words at a time, And that's what.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: He's actually very good at the media.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Now did you see him on the roast of Tom Brady?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: No? I did not.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: He was so good. He was so good, really funny
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: and very surprising.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Andy, thank you so much for joining us today. Just
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: answer this next question. What is next then for Jagtager?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: How can people get involved growth?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: We're going to keep pushing the Jagtag and the Jagtag
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: extra time programs across the country, big expansion plans in
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: multiple cities.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: How do people get involved?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: They can contact us through through the website, through our
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: social media as well at Jagtag UK, all of our
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: social channels from Jaguar's UK, and obviously just reach out.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Let's see if we can get something going in your area.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Very exciting times.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So what's the cart, Sandy.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Most of our programs are free actually because we're covered
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: by our corporate partners and other forms of sponsorship. We
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: are always on the lookout for sponsorship and any ways
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: of funding these programs.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Nice man that Andy Key. I swear I bumped into
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: him every thirty seconds during you know that the two
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: weeks where the jackiuers were in London. He was busy,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: He was everywhere.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Everyone covers a lot of ground in those two weeks,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and I remember sending him a text message and he said,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: my time is very specifically monitored and scheduled for the
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: next two weeks, which is fantastic. One thing I really
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: like about Andy I try and talk about Guinness as
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: much as I can on this podcast. I remember having
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: a pint with Andy and he was drinking zero Guinness
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: and managed to split the g but it didn't feel
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: like a win.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've mentioned this before I went
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to Ireland in summer and I got a Guinness, failed
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to split the g and a friend of mine that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I was with he doesn't drink any alcohol. He doesn't
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: he hates guinness, but he bought ant percent is just
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: try to try and split the g failed, didn't drink
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the rest ten euros. Let's move on to Duval Dispatches.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Almost Christmas, Key, almost Christmas, it's almost Jagsmas.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Oh you didn't, did you? Did you?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: For the first time ever, the Jaguars UK and Ireland
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are launching an epic Christmas competition twelve Days of Christmas,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: twelve competitions, twelve amazing prizes. I'm actually a bit annoyed
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: about this because I quite fancy all of these prizes.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Signed jerseys, signed footballs, a throwback jersey. Okay, there is more,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: do you know what? Actually, I'm going to be really blunt.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Can I be really blunt actually and just say that
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: some of this has written for me, key right and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: in front of me. Instead of it saying there's more,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it says there's Mr.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Burr.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on, it is Christmas. I can't actually
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: say where the rest of the prizes are though, Just
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to be clear because the rest of the prizes are
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: they're so good I can't even mention it yet, not
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: allowed to mention it. It's running across Jackuar's UK and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I on x on, Facebook and Instagram. The first one
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is going to start on the first of December. Good
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: luck and again I'm reading this. I hope you all enter.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no oh, I love it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I love it. I wait, there's not there's more. You'll
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: be sorry if you don't. Oh no, I love it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I love it secretly. I really like all of that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Do you know what we should double down if we
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: have to, if we have to talk about this next week,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and we will talk about this next week because it
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: won't have even entered it started next week. Was double
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: down on the Christmas puns.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: We have to have at least twelve puns in the
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: twelve days of Christmas.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. That's a good way of looking at it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So what is on the Sky Show with Rhys Parkinson
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: this week? He obviously some people might have watched it
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: already because it's on a Wednesday, But what things should
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: people look out for us? Obviously there's repeats.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Even if you've already seen the show, there's repeats and
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: all the stuff goes up on the Jaguars UK YouTube
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: channel throughout the week as well. It's a good one
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: this week. Despite a tough game, it's a good one.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: So we have the analysis with Reese and JP and
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Tony Bisselli talking about the season as a whole and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: what to expect, what the team should be focusing on
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: going into the bye week. But highlight for me this
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: week is Reese sitting down with coach Heath Farwell, who
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: honestly is one of the loveliest people you'll ever meet.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: They get on really well and it's a really lovely chat,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: particularly when Reese asks coach what he likes to do
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: off the field. Favorite moment maybe of the whole season,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the whole season, maybe yeah, can you give us a tease?
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Coach is talking about his kids and whether it's right
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: to let them wear or not.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, it's right, good tough.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Sky Sports NFL throughout the week on Sky and then
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: at Jaguars UK YouTube channel for ybbitz.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, So we're going to get to the Fan of
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the week in the second and the big question if
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you want to be featured as our Fan of the week.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be featured as our fan of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the week, get in touch via the media drop down
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot co dot uk and we will add
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you to the list. First though at Key last week
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: we said we were giving away a lovely Jaguar's hoodie.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: We are men of our words. We are not liars,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: not in this respect anyway. Who are going to give
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: it to Key? Personally? I kind of hope it goes
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: unclaimed as the Jaguars UK and Island HQ didn't hear
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: when I didn't hear that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: So the only way it goes unclaimed is if no
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: one commented on YouTube, which I can already turn you Jay,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry to disappoint, but people did comment. Do you know what?
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right now? And Francis has said
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: I need this woodie as I have six jackets and
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: no hoodies. I know, crazy how I don't have a
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: hoodie and I love a hoodie. It will go really
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: well with my training and the new blink I've got coming. Dude,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Francis has got to have this.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to Francis. I like to think that you know
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it's going to be hoodie jacket over the hoodie hats,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Jaguars bling, you know, loads of chains. Perfect congratulations, Francis.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: All right, time for a big question this time around,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: let's welcome Jaggs fan from the UK and Ireland. Molly, Molly,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: what is a a big question?
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: So my question is how have we gone from eight
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: and three in Week twelve of last season to now
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: only having won three games out the last seventeen regular
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: season games?
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: What do you think has changed?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Good question, and honestly, I think that's a question that
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: not only are we going to speak about, but has
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: been spoken about a lot within Jacksonville as well a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: lot within the Jagger's organization, I imagine as well. Key, Yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: do you have a good answer for this? I feel
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: like you might.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I have an answer, Okay, Molly. Monday night football, Bengals
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: losing to a backup QB. This team has not looked
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the same since. I think something happened that night that
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: meant and I watched every game. I study tape of
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: every game, and I'm not massively x as and o's,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: but what I do notice is body language, and I
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: do notice psychology, and I do listen to what people say.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Something changed in that game. Losing to a second string
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: QB on Monday night football in front of everyone. A
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: lot of pep was lost, and I just don't think
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: we've got it back. It's just the case of refinding
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: it because it's not a talent issue for me. It's
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: something has happened with the confidence.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Whilst I don't think this would have changed the overall
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: course of the season, to be honest with you, because
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't necessarily think it would have done.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I do think that looking back at those first couple
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: games of the season, you do wonder what would have
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: happened if there was a victory there in one of them,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, games that you now look
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: back on and you think there was you know, the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Jags probably should have been in the Dolphins, the Jags
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: probably should have been in the Browns. If there was
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a victory in one of those, then maybe you can
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: get another couple wins in the books just through as
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: you As you mentioned, they're like not positivity alone. But
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes I do believe that momentum is a thing. Some
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: people don't believe it's a thing. I do believe it's
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a thing. So maybe that would have made a difference.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: I thought you guys are going to say injuries.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Well, injuries is definitely a factor. There's no doubt about that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And I mean I was going to say that Trevor
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Lawrence obviously at the end of last week, because if you,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, we spoke about this during the summer. If
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, why did the Jags have a rough
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: end to the season last season, Well, look, you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was injured. Even when he was playing, he
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: was injured, and I think that's going to be a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: massive factor.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: I don't think we can blame injuries because of the
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: start of this season, we had a great, strong team.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: Everyone was healthy, so I don't I don't think it's
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: down to injury either. I think you guys are right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: There is something in the fabric that has changed. Can't
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: put our fingers on it. Don't know what it is,
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: but it's that morale. It's that positivity, that energy. It
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: just feels like it's dropped off. And I don't know
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: the reason for that, but we are lacking that, you know,
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: that go that confidence that we're gonna we can smash it.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: You know we were last year.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: We were looking at can we get to the Super Bowl,
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: and it's just completely dropped off. And I think to
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: go from one extreme to now the other, that's going
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: to have a really big impact on mentality, mindset, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: how the team's going to move forward together.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: You're not going to be cohesive if there's that morality,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: that morale is not there. It's all it's all very subdued.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: And I feel like we've just seen that even in
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: just in the plays, there's no confidence.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: It's all a lot of you know, the running game,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: and there's not jogging.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of jogging to the sideline.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's the plays. You can see there's no confidence
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: in it. So I'm not sure what's changed that I wish.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: I know that mindset has changed, definitely.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I saw coach Peterson say, you know over the last
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: few days that the bi weeks come at a time,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: not a good time necessarily, but a time when just
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the whole team is tired. And I wasn't sure if
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: he meant it, but like, you know, in this way,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: but obviously they're going to be physically tired, but I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: think they're going to be emotionally tired as well. Right now,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: is this a time Molly when you are thinking, are
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you thinking tail end of November?
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Are you? Are you looking towards the next season already?
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: I don't want to say yes, because I'm always optimistic
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: every game we go into. I think you've got to
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: be positive because I'm you know, Jags fan through and through.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: That's never going to change, so that hope is always there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: I think to say it's a right off, Okay, yes,
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: but that doesn't mean that I don't look forward to
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: each game because there's always the opportunity for those little
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: nuggets of you know, gold that just make it worthwhile
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: watching it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: So no, I'm looking to next season to.
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: Hope that we've made those changes to whatever it is
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: that needs to be fixed. But I'm still looking forward
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: to what the remainder of the season.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Oka well. On to this, then, what's the best possible
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: outcome for you between now and the last game of
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Just either consistency, so even if we're still losing the games,
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: just to show that we're playing more consistent and better.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: You know it's not competitive, right, yeah, yeah, to be competitive? Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: So just just to have that cohesiveness and just to
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: show that consistent and see I think that's that's what
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: that would be the best outcome. So we've got that
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: little bit of hope to cling on to for next year.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a really good point, actually, that Molly, because
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I think that I've said this before that the off
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: season is so long I call it hope season, because
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: it's so long that you have to have that little
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: bit of hope, and every franchise's fans have that hope
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: because it could be like this could be the year.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, I said it in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the summer to you, Key, is that it felt like
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: if because of the way that the last season ended,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that hope it wasn't quite maybe as hopeful as it
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: could have been, you know, for such a long time.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: So if the Jags are able to put a few
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: wins under their belt or even you know, not even wins,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: but just show some fight in some particular areas, you know,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in the team, where you can then say, all right, well,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: actually I feel good about this part of the team.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I feel good about this part of the team. This
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: part of the team really stepped up towards the tail
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: end of the season. Then you can really start to
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: feel good about different aspects and don't get me wrong,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: every single part of this team. I don't think they're
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: going to be writing it in because at the end
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: of the day, they're professionals and they've still got a
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: lot to play for. They've got their careers to play for.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous to give effort.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, they've got the summer to get that momentum
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: going to even to build up the hype for the fans,
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: for the team themselves. Like, just build that momentum so
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: that when we get to next season it is like go,
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: go go, and everyone's got that positivity and that like
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: fresh feeling because this season going in it didn't feel
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: as fresh.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: It felt like we.
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: Still had a bad taste in our mouse from last season.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: So it's like, just to get that freshness in.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I think that will make.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: A bit different.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, have a few nice games around Christmas time and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: make it a merry Christmas for Jags fans, and then
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: you know, people will be feeling good, you know, over
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the weeks after that as well. Molly, thank you so
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: much for joining.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: Us, No problem, no problem too, Thanks for having me.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a Molly key, great question. She was
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: wearing her Jags sweatshirt. I'm surprised she wasn't wearing her
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Jags WANSI because it's it's it's her and there's a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: bunch of them that go to the games, isn't there
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and they all wear the Jags Wonsis they do?
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I assume it was in the wash, yeah, or hung
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: up on the wall. Let's hope. So.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I think I spoke to them before and she said
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: one of them said that they'd never washed it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Steve said that he'd never washed it.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to know that. To
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: be honest, Steve, let's go to the Predictions League our tally. No, No,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like we should of how I'm doing in
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: our predictions for the Jags games. You're doing and the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: fans are doing. And I'll be honest, I find it
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: quite embarrassing.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: That none of us have got anything to brag about.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Really, I'm on five, I'm leading. Then then it goes
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: fans fans have got three, right, and then you're there
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: with two. How many games have the Jags won this season? Unfortunately,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: it's not my fault. No, I'm not what I know.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is it's embarrassing that I've chosen three times,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I've chosen the Jags to lose, and they've lost, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: that is why I'm top of the league. So I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: feel kind of embarrassed about that, to be honest, that
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: it does have to be said that I have been
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: told that there is a big grand prize for this
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: for the whoever whoever wins this league.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Right, Okay, you're not a no. Now I'm fuming, and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: now I am actually going to talk to Simon, a producer,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: about a new co host for this podcast next season.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was going to be a
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: prize butt prize of all time?
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Is it one of Francis's chains Francis.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It's one of France's chained or it's Steve's sweaty ones.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: You could have it, You have it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: It's like great cheers, Steve, that what you're sweaty? No
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: prediction in.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: The post and green smoke is coming out.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly just slightly damp anyway, less about sweat isn't a
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: game obviously this weekend because it's a bye week. Next
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: up is Textans at Home, but we'll get more into
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that this time next week. Weeky, So you don't need
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to give you a prediction. It's fine.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I predict that the Jags will not lose this week.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, this doesn't count. This doesn't count as a week. Key,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me today. It has
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: been lovely. We'll be back next week. Are you going
