  Speaker 1: It's thirty three degrees here in sunny London, twenty four
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in Manchester. It's thirty six in Jacksonville. This is a
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: podcast that Franklin should be called It's always hotter in Jacksonville.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Though actually I did check and in May it was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: hotter in the UK in Jacksonville twenty six and May.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So there was a go one day. This is actually
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: till Talk in partnership with Gallagher. I'm Jay Lawrence. Still
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: no relation.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Hello, Rees Parkinson, Yes, sir, what were you doing on
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Day twenty sixth to May. I just did it a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: little quite a bit of a google to be honest.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I actually it feels hotter than Jacksonville right now. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: just to peel back the curtain a little bit, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: have had to tell Reese. I'm sorry, Reese, you will
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: have to turn the fan off for this podcast. So
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: there is going to be beads of sweat coming down
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: your forehead over the next half an hour or so.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I know what you were doing on twenty sixth of May.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: What was I I may have seen it was you,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: that guy that was standing in front of a freezer
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in little.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I was actually it was M and S. So how
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: how would I do? It's than just to stand outside
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of stand next to the freezer section in a supermarket't
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: go in and it's just delicious. It feels so good.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, context, I wasn't actually in the supermarket because clearly
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Jay shops in way better job than I do, freeze
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: food on his Instagram that every single day he would
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: just be there standing in front of a freezer in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a supermarket. So I think I genuinely think you were
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: doing that on the twenty sixth from me.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: A bit of a hint if this does sound appealing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to you and you're thinking actually to you know, have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit of respite for the weather. I do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: think this is a good idea best air conditioning in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: my opin and as Ree says, I had tested out
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a few boots, so we're going you wouldn't have thought
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it because there's no chilled goods, there's no frozen goods.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Very good air conditioning anyway. This is the air Conditioning Podcast.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, an association with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jack, I mean
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars have incredible air con. I have to say
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in the facilities like amazing. You walk out, it's just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that's more of the sound of air con. You walk
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: out and whatever sound sun is, it's just all of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that and then you go into the building. Oh my god,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you are ice cold. I love it. But I'm super
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: excited because we have a new jag on the podcast.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be real, Jay. I think we probably both
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: have tried to practice this, so I'm going with our
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: new tight end, Nate boor Kitcher. Nate boor Kitcher. It's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: a difficult surname. We love a difficult surname.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might have to. We might have to just
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: double check with him when he pops on in a minute,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: won't we just to it, because I'll tell you what's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: worse is doing the whole thing calling him pronouncing his
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: name completely wrong, and then he pronounced it, he corrects
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: us right at the end or something, and then it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just quite embarrassing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Do you know what's worse than that? I have one
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: thing that's worse than that. On doing that for multiples
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of years and then when the player, when the player
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: leaves the new team, he goes, oh, by the way,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: my Lassay is actually a champ. So we can't have
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that happen.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Can't have that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to get in right at the beginning,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because otherwise it's just a baut we're just you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: starting it bad. No, no, no, you're right. Nate Borgia
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is going to be on the podcast shortly a brand
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: new tie and in fact, because you know, we're recording
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: this on Wednesday, aren't we, Reese, and the first day
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of training camp is Wednesday, so we're going to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: speaking to him in like basically the first few hours
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of his first ever NFL training camp. So I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it's going to be quite an nice little insight not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: only to the Jags and and you know, kind of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like the mindset of of a new Jag especially, but
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: also just a brand spanking new NFL player. Loads of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: things to catch up on in Duval County as well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and we're going to give you all the pub ammo.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You need to convince your Jags curious mate to go
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: full du Val. It's a month away from the season, rees,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this is the point where hope season starts. This is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the point where you can get excited. And crucially, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: if you're from the UK and if you're from Ireland,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure that you feel this as well, Reese
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is that this is the point where you can start
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: saying to your mates, Hey, I don't suppose you fancy
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, getting into the NFL this season. I don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: suppose you fancy you being a Jags fan this season.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Also, I'm thinking we need to pick a spot for
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Sunday nights that listeners can come and just watch the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: game with us.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's do it. Let's do it, let's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: do it. We went to we went somewhere, didn't we
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: last season? And you were like, like, ja, we need
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to come here every week. This is stick.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I loved it. Well, maybe we can think of let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: try and pick a good location between me and you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and then if anyone's about on Sunday evenings. I actually
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I can let too much information here,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: but I think there may be a special one during
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the season. But I think that could be pretty cool
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: because I want to go out and watch the games
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: most Sundays. Unless there's actually know what, screw it, I'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: do a twelve am or why not.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It was the Greenwood that we were at last time
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in Victoria that was fantastic, to the point where not
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: only were we there and other Jags fans from the UK,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but we also bumped in to Jags fans from Jacksonville
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: as well to come over. So that was a great
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: night and hopefully we're going to have I mean a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lot more great nights actually over the next few months.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Should we get into it then? Should we get into
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: our conversation with Nate Borkicha. I guess the first question is, Nate,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: how do you pronounce your last name?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, this is incredibly excited on the Tiltal podcast. This
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is our first guest on the show this season. So
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we want to introduce Nate Borckartcher. Tell me I got it?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: You got it perfect?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, there we go, it would go. So that's it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for reason. Now he's done his contribution. How do people
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: pronounce your your surname wrong?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Nate? You should have seen it growing up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Obviously I didn't know people didn't know my last name,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: so it was it was pretty well, it seemed like,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't think anyone ever said it right
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: showing up, you know, unless they really knew me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Well, well, I'm assuming it's Dutch close ish. But Nate,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you must be you must be pumped. What day, first
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: day of training camp, give us the give us the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: inside more challenging than you thought. Was it the opposite
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and you're like the NFL okay, cool, this is what
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: these guys spoke about.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Exciting for sure.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I would say the main difference coming from college is
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it's definitely a lot more mentally taxing. But in college
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it's probably a little more physically taxing. But you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the strain on your mind and just the pursuit to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: be perfect in every single aspect of the game technique wise,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: and all that stuff. You know, that just adds a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: lot of mental strains. So I would say that's the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: main difference coming from college.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: What's it been like though, around the facility, just being
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: around like people that presumably you've been watching for like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the last few years. Is there anybody that you've been
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: like psyched to me or like, you know, throw a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: ball around with or anything.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: One of the guys that comes in mind when you
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: ask that question was Mir Abdullah. He was a Nebraska
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: running back. I grew up in Nebraska, small town. He
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: was a Nebraska running back when I was Shoot, we
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: were we were talking yesterday and he said he played
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: in twenty eleven and so I scrolled back in my camera.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I was trying to find like a picture of myself
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: in twenty eleven, and my camera rolls stopped in twenty fifteen.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I was, oh, mind.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I was like I called him Grandpa today, like you
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: got but he made.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Him feel great by the way he loved that. He
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: loved that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: He's awesome.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Did you watch it so you would? You wouldn't have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: watched him then, I guess because you would have been
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: too young, then do you remember? No?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: We grew up big, big Nebraska fans, so I absolutely
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: do remember watching him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You just were there times when you were like, can
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you be like, hey, do you remember this play if
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you did for Nebraska? Or you know, you know, I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to be too much
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for a fan boy.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Like, so it's a little different, but I know tonight
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Nate is going to call his parents and go, you
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: won't believe I saw a training camp.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's funny. Yeah, no doubt.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But Nate, I love your story. Well, we love your story.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I think you. I feel like you have to have
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: that that like underdog dog in you. I love the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: walk On story at college. Like you mentioned coming from
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a small town, it felt like as well when you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: got drafted, I think people were like excited, but also
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: at the same time like, okay, Nate, cool, interesting, Okay,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Like do you feel like you're kind of used to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this not having to prove But is it that walk
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: on mentality that you have? It's kind of with you here?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, I would definitely say so.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I'd say it's a little different simply because I was
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: drafted pretty high and like you said, in college, coming
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: as a walk on. But it's still the same like
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: chip by my shoulder that I'm using to motivate myself
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: to go out there and just be a gritty player.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: That's just the goals that go out there to be
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: as gritty as possible and grind my way through practice
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: in every rope.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But I mean it's kind of I mean, it is
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a cool story though, because obviously you're in Nebraska A
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and M as well walk on in Nebraska. Have you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: taken that moment and I know you've not been on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the field yet, yeah, but have you taken that moment
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to step back and be like yo, like I'm in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you really gotta you know, it's cliche, but it's true.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: You got to stop a speller roses otherwise it'll pass
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: you by. I was talking to one of the vets
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: today and he's played nine years and I was the
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: first thing I asked him was like, did it fly by?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He said, it's crazy how fast it flies by.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: So that's one thing, you know, it's nice I've realized
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: early is that you really got to stop in and uh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: you know, look around because otherwise it'll pass you by quickly.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I would love to know about that draft process, so
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you know, you did get drafted very high, and do
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you looking back on that day, is it one of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: those is just going to stay there forever.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: It was such a crazy moment. I got a call,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you know, I said, spam on the top. I'm really
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: getting prank call.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I'm really getting a prank call today, like I was,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: you know, but I showed my agent. He's like, you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: got to answer it. So that's kind of how that
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: went down. But it was, you know, a very special moment,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: very special my family.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: At what point do you like when you get that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: phone call and you think it's spam? At what point
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the conversation did you realize it was real, because obviously
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you've seen like you know, you mentioned it was spam
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and it happened with you know, should Al Sanders last
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: year as well as other players where they took it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: as a legit phone call and it wasn't. What point
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: were you like, now this is real?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: It's funny you ask, because you know, I played college
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: football for six years. I know how a coach sounds.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: As soon as they started talking, I was like, this
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: is a coach.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Boy. It's like, there's there's no way that's a prank call.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: It would have had to be a really really good
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: prank call if someone was pranking me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: So I knew pretty quick.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: So, Nate, at what point in training camp do you
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: have to sing? Whose bags are you carrying around? What
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is the give me? I've always heard some horror stories
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and some great memories. What what? What? What song you're
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: going with? I know you've got one in you surely.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I have no idea about any of those. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: haven't you know, I haven't carried anything. I know I
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: got to earn my keep, so I'm here to do whatever.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: But I don't know when I had to sing, you know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna race it. I did it in college and
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: I was I remember just being a little nervous, like
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: like not wanting to do it, Like why like screw this,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: what do I gotta do it? But uh, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think I'm gonna be you know, I think
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: i'd be nervous. These are just my my teammates now,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and I'm excited about that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: It'll be fun.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of times people have to do like their
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hidden talent, don't they. If you've got one, I don't need.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I don't even think you called juggling hidden talent. But
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I guess I can juggle. I mean that's nothing crazy.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I'd also back you in another talent. Before the interview
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was I was just doing some more research. You probably
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: have the best LinkedIn page I've ever seen. My reason
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: for this is it just says labor and then it
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: goes and then it goes NFL. There's no middle. It's
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: like you went, I'm just gonna have a career changel.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I you know, I haven't opened LinkedIn
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and a long time. So I actually went on like
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: last week and I was like, well I better, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: better change it. So I, you know, I put an
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: NFL or whatever, but that's all I did. I didn't
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: do much like I might change my profile picture. I'm
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: not the biggest LinkedIn guy, so honestly, it probably would
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: be better for me just to delead the count at
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: this point, Are you okay if.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I go and endorse you at like Microsoft Exel? Is
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that okay? I want to talk about something that is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: obviously close to our hearts, Nate, and that is, of course,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming over to London. This,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you know, as I do every year, but this time
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: they're playing two games. I mean, first of all, you're
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: going to be in London for nearly two weeks. How
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: does that sound? Talk us through you know, how you're
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: feeling about that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I'm super excited, you know, for a lot of reasons.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: One just obviously playing football in a new environment's always cool,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: you know, being out of the country, and then just
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: outside of football, just seeing the world, you know, going
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: somewhere new. I've only been outside of the country once.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I played in Ireland, you know, one year, and that
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: was you know, you know, probably somewhat similar. We got
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: a kind of explore and learn a lot and.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: See history and stuff.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: So I think that's the pretty cool part of it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Amazing. Also, if you need I'm not sure if you
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: spoke to Josh Haines Allen yet or built that kind
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: of repertoire, but if you just need like an inn
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: for like sometimes in life you just need, like I
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't know what to like, just just walk up to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: him and just say, Sushi Samba.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Sushi Sama.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: It's a restaurant in London. This man is obsessed with
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the plate and he'll watch who who've been talking?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: What's a card again?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Sushi Samba?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be there.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I want to know if you if you know too
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: much about Wembley Stadium as well, because you know it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it's it's the game against the Texans, which is always
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: going to be a big game regardless, but a divisional
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: game and you know, and I know I'm bigging like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: ourselves up, but it is arguably the most iconic stadium,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'll say it, in the world. It is that iconic.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know too much about it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: at all, how it feels to be playing.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I don't, like I said, just being in a new
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: stadium by itself is always funt alone, something so iconic.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I guess I don't even know. I need to do
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: my research.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Camb Little, you need to speak to cam Little because like,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: if you're not a soccer guy, you might not get it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But like I don't know, if you are, you were, well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: do you watch the World Cup?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I dove in for the World Cup.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I I gave it my off for the World Cup,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: and uh, I was big on the US when they
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: got knocked out.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of going for Argentina a little bit.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But oh man, I know, oh I know.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: This is this interview is for us to get to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: know you and hopefully, like you.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Nate listen, I don't, I don't, I don't know. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: don't know. I saw MESSI out there and I became
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: a bandwagon.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Argentina kicked out, they got rid of England. They kicked
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: out England. So you know, we're not too big on
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Argentina right now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I was, I was watching Spain Argentina. I didn't watch Argentina.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So that's fine, all good.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Now you're gonna you're gonna love it over here. Honestly,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's I feel like a lot of the players
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: feel the same, but it's something special when you get
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a chance. Just just YouTube Wembley Iconic Moments, Wembley Moments
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: because yeah, Like to Jay's point, I think in the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: UK it's it's it's that place, it has that like
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to compare, but maybe how people
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: from New York feel about Madison Square Garden and they'd
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: be like the garden and the garden best concerts, football plats,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: so legendary. No, how have you spoke to Brennan Strange?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: How's that relationship forming? What's the tight end room like?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: And and I would imagine someone like strangers, someone that
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you're kind of looking up to and be like, okay, cool,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: He's he set a bit of a blueprint here for
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: for you to follow or of course blaze your own path.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we have a great tail end room
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: as a whole, a couple of great vets. Breton's you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: kind of took me in from day one. He's been
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: he's been amazing. You know, he texts me right after
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: the Dragon. It's a big process coming to the NFL, Like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: there's a lot, a lot to learn. Like I said,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: it's very mentally taxing. He's been great on that side
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of things. He's helped me out in a lot of
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: ways and he's definitely there to help. He doesn't shy
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: away from from helping us young guys out.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Nate.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: What we'll do is we're gonna finish with a quick
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: fire around. If you're down for that, hit me. The
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: look on your face, it's like, what am I gonna
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: get asked? What am I going to get ask I'll
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: do the first one rees. You can go in from
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: after that if that sounds good. So we'll start with
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Nebraska cold or the Florida heat.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: You know, I like sweatshirts, so we're gonna go with
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the cold.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's really hot, man, it's really hot, but I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: getting used to it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: London game or the home opener against the Browns.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: You know, I would definitely definitely say London if I
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: had played a year and if it wasn't my first
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: time playing in Jacksonville. But I have to go with
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: jackson you know, that's that's both up here. So that's
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: a hard choice.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: One thing that Jacks fans don't know about you.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I like to w hoop.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, cool nice. Yeah, it took me a second there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, like, you know, just the Britishness
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in me. I was like, I don't know about that one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Speaking of which, can you say one word? It can
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: be any word in a British accent, British.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're one of ours. Will you be drafting yourself
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in fantasy football?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Name? Yeah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: If my my friends don't get to me first, I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: gonna have to I'm gonna have to slide my way
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: into getting the first pick.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Would you draft yourself first? Would you draft yourself one?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm going straight to Madden then I'm you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonning every award now, I'm just kidding.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: What can Jags fans expect you to bring to the team.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I mentioned it earlier. Just the gritty mindset is the
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: you know, relentless effort and strain just to go, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: get my job done. Even if I lose, then I'm
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: gonna you know, rip through and chase the ball and
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: you know, just try to you know, just be there
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: for my teammates.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: And like I said, just being gritty. And I'm trying
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: to be very very.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Physical and aggressive, whether that's you know, running routes and
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: catching the ball or you know, on the block.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Nate, thank you so much for joining us on TIL
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Talk today.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you, guys.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I like him. I like him a lot. He's got that,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: he has got that. I'm ready to prove some people wrong.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And I feel like he's had that his whole career.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, that's it. You know, when you come
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: on as a walk on, you've already got that sort
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of you know, chip on your shoulder. I suppose spend
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a few years in Nebraska, got that year at A
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and M, and then coming to Always think it's amazing
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: when you start your career as a walk on, right
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and then you get and then you get into the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: NFL an amazing few years, do you know what I mean?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what what Nate can bring
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to the Jags and what is going to be I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: think hopefully a fun, tight end room.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Definitely. I think Strange leading the way and get the.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Big money Strange, big money, Brenton, big.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Money, Brendon, big money, Brandon. He's looking at them like,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: this is what y'all can have, This is what y'all.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Can have, Okay, so should we? I mean, look, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: it's obviously the first day of training camp isn't so,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and the next podcast is obviously going to be in
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a few weeks time before we then go weekly before
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: when the season kicks in. So over the next few weeks,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of stuff. It's going
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to come thick and fast, race you know, all of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: these topics, all of these things that have been swirling
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: around in our head over the last few months, where
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they're going to come to fruition, all these questions. Hopefully
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to get answers because obviously there's going to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: be some preseason games as well. So let's go through
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the bits and pieces that we want to think about.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: We want to know the answers to what we're what
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: we're hoping that you know, will become clearer in a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: few months time. Do you want to start? Should I start?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I want to. I want to start with btj Okay
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: first air camp. You know, when when when do you
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: when do you get that feeling that he's back. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: feel like this is out of all of our out
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: of all of our roster, there's some names that kind
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: of stick out as it's kind of an important year
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: for you, Like, you know, it's it's one of those,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: and I think he's up there as one of those.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So I don't know at this point obviously first day,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: but it'll be interesting to see at which point were
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: like not that he ever went, but you know, you
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: just look at we're just going about numbers last year
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and there was moments where you can see the frustration
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: in him. It'll be interesting to see during training camp
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that he's like, Wow, he's the connection with whichever is back,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and you know, he is looking amazing. He's just looking
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: different out there. So I know they've been connecting a
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: lot over over the summer and the off season. But yeah,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I'm really i'mn't really rooting for BTJ, you know, want
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I want him to have. I want him to have
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: that kind of year because he's got some people nibbling
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on in his tones, you know, and a lot of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: people stepped up last year.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that you were you hit the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: nail on the head there when you say that a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people stepped up. Obviously, Jacoby Meyer's coming in Parker,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Washington in particularly, I had a fantastic year. It kind
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of makes me think, look, if you can kind of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: hope that Myers and Washington have a let's say they
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: have like a similar type of year, right, just a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: similar type of year than last year. But we see
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: BTJ perform like he did at the tail end of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: his first season, then this offense, especially through the air,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: like you just have such high hopes for it, don't you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: If that connection between Lawrence and BTJ is there and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you kind of you mentioned it there is, You did
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: see it in flashes, you just didn't see it enough,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and then you know, I don't think it's not a secret.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I can say that there were a multiple times when
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you know, Brian Thomas Jr. He literally dropped the ball,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: not like figuratively, like literally dropped the ball at times.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And if he's able to get that out or reduce
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that then then because he is one of the most
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: exciting players in the league, I.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Think, yeah, I think we just had a couple of
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: players last year that I don't want to say lost
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: their head, but kind of did, which seems more of
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a confidence mental thing. You know, you look at Cam little,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you know, especially while we were there at Wembley, it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: kind of like, WHOA, Okay, what's happening? Like we not
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: like Cam is probably has a great chance of going
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: down and I probably said he's way too early, but
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: as one of the best field goal kickers in the NFL,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: you know, he's breaking records in his first couple of years,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: which is which is crazy. But his head went at
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the start of last year and it's like that, that's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: what's going on here, and then pulled it back. But
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: maybe BTJ just needs and I feel like we saw
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: signs of that at the end of last season, with
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: more that the start in the middle just looked off
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: because there were just moments where it's like he would
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you'd see it on the replay where he'd like, you said,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: he dropped the ball and you kind of stand there
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: like in confusion, and then the fans get a little
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: bit like or is he going to cut? You know?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: So I think that was a bit of that. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I think BTJ, given an off season, maybe cleared his mind,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: changes some things in his life. You never know what
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: a player is going through as well, not suggesting that
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: he was, but God knows you you never know. It
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: sounds silly, but I don't know. You could just have
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a just but you could have an issue, a family issue.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: We go for an issue whatever issue, and oh my
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: head was going a bit. Have an off season, take
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: your time, saw some things out, come back at it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: So I think BTJ is definitely one to watch. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: what about yourself.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I've got a lot of confidence in him. I just
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: put a bow on that. I've got confidence that will
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: see the BTJ that we want to see, and therefore
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to see a really fun offense and I'll
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: stick on the offense. So actually I want to see
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he's going to take the leap a running back because
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Liam Cohen says, you know, obviously with Travis
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: etn H and Gone, it feels like the running back
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: room is wide open. I think we've spoken about this
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: on the podcast before, but I think it's the most
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the most exciting, enticing. I suppose battle in the Jags
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: at the moment, you've got bashell touton who I think
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is going to be the favorite to have that running
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: back one role. But we can't discount Chris Rodriguez, who
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: came from Washington, because you gotta remember as well, Liam
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Cohen coached Chris Rodriguez at Kentucky, so they've got that
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: relationship there. Cohen knows what Rodriguez brings to the table
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the Quinn Allen. It's still still only I think in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: his second year with the Jags as well, so you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: very early on in his career. DJ Dallas did well
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: when he was called upon towards the tail end of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the season as well. There's a lot of players here,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: but nobody is really on the face of it. Before
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: training camp, the player that's like, well, that's going to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: be running back one. This isn't the same as last year.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You know, this isn't the same as last year.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: And I feel like it's going to be one of
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: those which probably happens. I think there's a shout that
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: we don't know that throughout the whole year. It just
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: becomes super situated.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: It's a it's a really good point. It is a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: really good point.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how coach Cohen I should look back.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he ran it in previous years
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: at the Rams and the Bucks, but I can imagine,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: and it's quite situational because they just feel like different
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: style of running back. So you know, maybe he wants that,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: like I want to be able to switch up on defenses.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I want to make it unpredictable. I want to free
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: up Trevor to get the passing game going, so he's
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: got he's got a lot of options there. I don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: know necessarily if there's going to be that number. This
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: is our you know, this is our Barkley. He's undoubtedly
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: number one, and we put him in every situation.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think that there's there's definitely room for
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: somebody to be that past catcher out of the backfield
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: as well. And you know, with with a chan there
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: last year, we didn't necessarily get to see Bachall two
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and be that person. So is he that could he
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: be that person? I guess we're going to find out
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: obviously when the season starts, but I'd like to get
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a sense of, you know, how it's going over the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: next few weeks as well. Let's do should we do
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a couple more one more reach? Let's do one more reach?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I mean when we're never going to know this until
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the first game, But Travis Hunter, will you play cornerback?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Will he also play wide receiver? I just cannot see
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: him just playing cornerback. He's I generally think he wants
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: to do both and unless and I don't think given
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the injury last year. I didn't think. I don't think
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: there is enough data that I'm not saying where this
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: is coming from. Let's say it's coach Cohen or you know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: see can go in there and go, hey, I've looked
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: at the numbers and it's quite clear that you're just
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: so much more productive at cornerback. I don't think we've
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: had a fair assessment yet. So I can't see them
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: going into you know, it just takes. And this is
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: good thing about training camp, seeing what he's like a
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: wide receiver, see how he's has he has he improved
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: in some way and why would you not want a
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: weapon like that on offense? So I know most people
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: lean towards the cornerback position for him, but I can't
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: see that he sits in a meeting and goes, yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: that's fine, I'm happy to play cornerback.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine him saying that there is no way,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: there's no way he's going to be there, being like, no, no,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I want to play every single snap. Give me QB. Yeah, yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: give me QB treads down, no worries, let me go
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: in there. I'll play both positions. Yeah, No, I completely agree.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I think that I think we're going to see him
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. I honestly don't really have much doubt. To
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: be fair, I think that will we see him every
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: single play, will will we see him in certain packages?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's more likely. But you know, there is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: no way that he does not score multiple touchdowns this year.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Like well, we were there for his first was it
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: first touchdown? I believe his first was that Wemberley.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It was a beautiful touchdown. Either way, it was a
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: beautiful touch It was his last touchdowns in the season
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: as well, because obviously he went down just after that. Also,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: just on that subject, Reese, have you seen have you
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: seen how he's looking.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: At the moment.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Dude is looking.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's looking. He's he's been using that time
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to beef up.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: So training with us, we special zooms.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: That's it, yeah, right now, pick up the dumb belt.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: All right. I guess I'll just finish that with just
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a just a small one. But I'm just interested to
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: see how it goes. And I'm completely biased as somebody
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: who spent time at Tulane University. Let's go green Wave.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Caleb Ransell spent the whole of last year out second
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: year defensive back. He's not he's not played for the Jags.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Now he's coming in, and I think he's kind of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: been forgotten about in terms of where the defensive backfield
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: is that because and I suppose you can include like
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Travis Hunter in that as well, because you compare that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to you know, tail end of last season. Yes, Andrew
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Winger is gone, but you've got now, you know, Travis Hunter,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: who might be playing significant snaps at cornerback. You've got
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Caleb Ransell who wasn't there before. I don't know if
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be playing in the slot or a safety,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it's going to be a position
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: where Okay, you've got these you've lost, you lost player,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you've lost you know, players on the defense. But these
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: players who were there last year they were just not available,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: but they are available now. So let's see how that's
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: going to impact the defensive backfield.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And as I say as well, Jarryon Jones also feel
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: like another player that's like.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, yeah, like a couple bits.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Away from from being the guy too, So I mean
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: super competitive. It's basically like a whole new Yeah, like
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: you said, you see someone around at the facility all
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the time and in the team, but they're not playing,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: you're kind of forget it. It's almos basically like a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: new addition.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I feel
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: like you know Travis Hunter and will seem like that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: as well, because he got he was out for so
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: much of the season, and obviously it was his first
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: year as well, and you kind of hope that despite
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: not being on the field, that there is improvements in
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: every single way, don't you in your second year. So
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I think it will be interesting. I want to I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: want to use this time race. I want to use
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: this time as a point of reflection. We all have
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: those friends. It might be fantasy football, you know, Premier
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: League fans, but they're not necessarily into the NFL. Well,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: this is the point where you can go and say
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to them, Hello, Sam Deirdre, why not support the Jacksonville
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Jaguars for the upcoming season. Now that might not be enough.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It might be that you need to actual to give
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a few reasons why they should support the Jags ahead
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty sixth season. And that is where
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: your friendly local Teal Talk hosts Rhes Parkinson and Jay
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Lawrence can come in and to give you some reasons
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and to try and get Deirdrey to support the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Our logo is call a f There is no doubt
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: about that. So just on a complete blind pick our
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: label's ball. So I think we can grab some from there.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Do you want to watch a live NFL game and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: not watch everything on the TV? Yeah? Are we doing Dardrey? Yeah?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: De Dre? Okay, come on, did de Dre? What is
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: his nickname for Deirdre? What?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to try and do Deirdre's accent? We
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: have two games live few Have you ever wanted to
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: go to Wembley? Of course I've wanted to go to Wembley.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: We're playing there. The Jags have put you can see
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the Jags. Thirdly, I think then for the casual fan,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I guess there needs to be some kind of I
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: am going to put Trevor's hair there, Okay, I'm going
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: to do that. It makes great memes his grills. The
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: picture of him and the grills works as well. You've
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: got to have a cool QB. Trevor's a handsome dude.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I think that works as well. Not just for Dirdre,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: but for for all Jags fans. Travis Hunter, I think
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: is a great cell, great story, great player, explosive. We
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: got some stars on our team. There needs to be
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit of you know what I'd like. I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: would like maybe one of our players to date an
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: R and B.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Star, anyone in mind, anyone in mind.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Anyone specifically. I don't know who's single on our team,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: but the person that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: The R and B star, the R and B star.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't know single one who's not. I don't
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: think it'll be a bad thing for I don't know.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: If go on, you're struggling. I'm loving it. I'm loving this.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: That wouldn't be a bad thing. I think that will
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: add a little flavor to the team. Now, I guess
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: we have to then sell Jacksonville. I think Jacksonville is
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: quite underrated as a location because you're probably gonna wanting
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: to do an away game at some point. This is
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: my team. I want to go away. I want to
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: go to America. I want to watch the game now Jacksonville.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I think the most underrated thing about Jacksonville the beach
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: is air pick pick and we're going to have the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: new stadium redesign, so that's going to be epic to
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: go to Plas Orlando. So you could be if you
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: if you if you're going to Disneyland at some point
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you want to have a Jags game in the meantime
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: that's coming up. I think it's endless.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: And actually, if you want to talk short term, they're
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: playing some games in Orlando, the Jacksonville Janakuars, so you
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: can just do both in you know, when the new
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: stadium is being redeveloped, so you can just do both
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: at the same time. I mean, I reckon if you
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: if let's speak like practic, Yeah, the Jags have a
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: good they have a good time generally to watch them
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in the UK right generally they're on at six pm
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: because they're on the East Coast, which means there is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: less times when you need to stay up until like
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: one am to like finish the game, which is, you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: don't we don't necessarily want to do that, do we?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: If we don't have to do that, we won't do that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, you've touched on some good
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: points players on the brink of stardom. I like the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: fact that you know Trevor Lawrence and Liam Cohen the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: second year of a relationship. How's that going to go? Obviously,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: as you say, Jags love the UK, they love Ireland,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: so love them back. Everyone looks good in tel That's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: my other one. I have one more point and this
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: is a big one. Now, some people I think will
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: disagree with this. Right, some people disagree with this, but
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I would call those people glory hunters. Gloria okay, because
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the jackson the Jaguars have never won a super power,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: right it is. It is a fact that has not
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: happened yet. Great yet. Now you can go and support
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: a team like the Kansas City Chiefs a few recently,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: boring Matt's.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Going on the toil end. At least if you're going
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to do that, start with somebod who's just won one recently.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: But the Jacksonville Jaguars, when it happens, not if, When
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: it happens, and it'll be soon because I've got a
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: lot of confidence in that. Can you imagine the euphoria?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine that feeling rece of that Super Bowl,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that feeling of the victory. It beats every it beats,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it beats going to you know, supporting a team that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: just that does it on the regular Tom Brady's your quarterback? Yeah, boring,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, let's
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: let's let's all realize that it is going to be
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: an incredible experience when that happens.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: It's always better to support a slight underdog. Amen, It's
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: just it's just better. I mean, for example, you're a
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: great example of that. Who's your who's your football team?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: My team is Liverpool, so maybe we shouldn't. That's not
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the great example. To be fair under dog, to be fair,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: you know I'm talking about that. That is behavior for
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: me on the hipocrite. I am a massive hypocrit. You're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: a Fulham fan.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: It works if you're I mean to be fair. If
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: you're a Fulham fan and you don't support the Jaguars,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just what what is what's actually happening
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: up there? Seriously? Seriously, you know the ownership situation, that's
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: just that's actually insane.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Let's let's get onto the some other news because I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: think we've covered all the bases with that. I think
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: it's fairly comprehensive. Let's talk about in a second. I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the London game. At Wembley. But
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: first last year, for the first time, the Jags launched
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Duval Designs for the UK. So basically it's a dead
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: call initiative. This where artists can apply to designer poster
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: for each game for each game day sorry in Jacksonville
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and now at Wembley. So if you're an artist and
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: would like the opportunity to design a poster for the
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Texans versus Jaguars game at Wembley, you can find all
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the details at Jaguars dot cod at UK. There are
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: tickets to the games and cash and assigning opportunity at
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the team pub during game week. So it's a really
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: cool opportunity to show off what you're good at as well.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Reese not you? Not you?
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm very awful, but yeah, what one is good at?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I remember last year. I think we did last year
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: while they did in the stadium show some of the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: designs and imagine that. Imagine having a design shown be awesome.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: What the ticket details, So tickets are in general sal Wembley,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Jags hosting the Texans. It's going to be I think
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: because it's a divisional game as well. And we may
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: have made this but you're not just going to an
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: NFL game, You're going to a game that it's got
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: an extra bit more flavor to it, bit more flavor,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: bit more of a rivalry to it as well. I
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: would say, like an authentic NFL celebration, you know in
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: the UK's I'm going to say, the UK's most iconic
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: venue absolutely Wembley and you can get the link directly
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: if you just go to Jaguars dot co dot uk.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: So Jaguars dot co dot uk and get your tickets
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: for Wembley would be awesome. And we hopefully, hopefully I
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: can't mention this earlier, but there'll be exciting news about
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: a watch party prior to the Wembley game as well
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: for the fans to get together and where they'll wear
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: their teal which he says, you cannot look bad in till.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Can't look bad at till no one looks bad at till.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: This is true unless you are Deirdre.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Sorry d d.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Is for the best dress will be forthcoming as well.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Genuine question, have you ever met anyone called Deirdre?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: No?
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: No, No, same same, Yeah, maybe I could have. I
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: should have picked a different name there, should have picked
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: a different name. Yes, that was a good episode. Nice
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: for the first time in a few months. Have a
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: jag on the episode to have Chisney appreciate that we're
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: going to be back at the end of August. On
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the cusp of the twenty twenty sixth season, Reese, if
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I had to give you three words to explain how
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you're feeling right now about about the season coming back,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: what would you say?
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Exciteds a static, anxious.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, I understand that. I understand that anxiety and excitement
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: they're one and the same sometimes, aren't they. They're one
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and the same. I'm very excited about it.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Give me three different.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Ones, different ones. Are pumped, hyped, sacked, jacked. Jack would
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: have been a good one. Jagged, that would have been
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a good one. All right, So we're going to be
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: back at the end of August. This has been a
• 40:55
