  I don't know, let's to see her. So this weekend we're having our
• 0:06
  annual Huskies and Heroes Military Appreciation game, and our team will be wearing our
• 0:14
  Huskies and Heroes logo here and then we'll have the fatigues available to staff members.
• 0:20
  And I think it's really special and really important that we do these types
• 0:24
  of things. We'll be welcoming over six hundred and fifty members of the Yukon
• 0:28
  Veteran Affairs to the game. We'll be having a super flag on the on
• 0:39
  the field for the for the national anthem. We're gonna honor two hometown heroes
• 0:43
  as well as what we call America's Vet Dog. And so one of those
• 0:46
  is Jabanese and he's a Yukon graduate. He's a Marine veteran if you retired
• 0:51
  Connecticut State trooper. And Justin Tomlin, who is a five year Army VET
• 0:56
  who toured in Afghanistan and Iraq. He's a former EMT in Connecticut and after
• 1:00
  his after after he served in the military, he served in law enforcement in
• 1:06
  both Connecticut and Texas, and so we just want to, you know,
• 1:07
  in advance, I just want to thank them for their service, obviously,
• 1:11
  and it's important that we recognize them and honor them in several different ways.
• 1:15
  We're gonna have a flyover weather permitting, and then we're going to swear in
• 1:19
  six military members with the National Guard after the first quarter break. And then
• 1:23
  all this is going to support charities as well, so Hope for Warriors and
• 1:27
  House of Heroes and Connecticuts, so two different charities there. And then there's
• 1:32
  a group ticket initiative with Pratt and Whitney and in collaboration with Pratt and Whitney
• 1:38
  with the proceeds going towards veteran's charities. So over three thousand tickets have been
• 1:42
  sold to that group, so we want to thank Pratt and Whitney for that.
• 1:46
  And then there'll be charity tables set up at the stadium before the game
• 1:52
  if anyone wants to make additional donations that go to two people that are serving
• 1:56
  our country. So so that's a good way to start start the day for
• 2:00
  us. This will be one heck of a challenge. The team we're facing
• 2:07
  is arguably the best team we've we've played since I've been here, right on
• 2:10
  par with Michigan last year. They've got a quarterback I thinks, you know,
• 2:15
  going to be a first round draft pick at some point. They've got
• 2:17
  an offensive line that should be up for the Morris Award, which is,
• 2:22
  you know, the top offensive line in college football. They're two running backs
• 2:25
  are outstanding. They're one of the top teams in the country running the football,
• 2:30
  and then they've got receivers that not only have speed and yak yards after
• 2:35
  cats, but they're tenacious blockers. And then on defense they're given up nine
• 2:38
  yards again or nine points a game. So it's just one heck of a
• 2:42
  challenge for us. I think it comes at a good time, coming off
• 2:46
  of, you know, a disappointing start, just to have a great challenge
• 2:50
  like this. So we're excited about it. Regarding the start of the season,
• 2:54
  you know, when you're rebuilding something that you know, we all know
• 3:00
  has has not been great for a long time. I don't think it's ever
• 3:04
  just a straight upward trajectory, you know, at least that's my experience in
• 3:07
  coaching, is that there's gonna be some you're gonna make some gains, and
• 3:09
  then you're gonna level off, and you might take a dip and then you
• 3:13
  build. Ultimately, this is a results oriented business. We're judged on wins
• 3:17
  and losses, and so by that variable, we're not doing enough. But
• 3:23
  you have to be able to look beyond the wins and losses as a coach
• 3:28
  and as a team and as a as a program and see if you're still
• 3:30
  making progress. And you do that by evaluating work ethic. And you do
• 3:37
  that by evaluating attitude. And you do that by evaluating commitment levels of the
• 3:45
  people in the program, not just players but everybody else. You do that
• 3:47
  by you know, how how are they practicing, are they continuing to study,
• 3:53
  are they going to the class, or they stand discipline, They're doing
• 3:55
  the things that ultimately lead to success. Because you know, the easy path
• 4:00
  leads nowhere, as we all know, and so this is a tough path,
• 4:02
  but it's also a great opportunity for us to learn. And uh,
• 4:05
  you know, college is about is a college in general is about, you
• 4:11
  know, learning and growing and facing adversity and overcoming it and handling your business.
• 4:15
  So it's been really tough. It's been really tough on the field.
• 4:17
  But you know, I've told you guys before, I'm a glass is half
• 4:19
  full guy. So I'm always going to try to find something positive to to
• 4:25
  to focus on while still not ignoring, you know, the problems at hand,
• 4:30
  because I'm not. I mean, I might be glass is half full,
• 4:31
  but I'm so sure that a lot of people think I'm an idiot,
• 4:34
  but I don't. You know, I try not to be an idiots.
• 4:36
  So, uh, yeah, it's been a it's been a rough start for
• 4:41
  us, but I haven't seen any dip in the way these guys practice.
• 4:46
  Matter of fact, today in our competitive periods, it was just I told
• 4:50
  them this, it was probably as good a period that we've since we've had
• 4:54
  since I've been here. And there's only six plays, but maybe that's an
• 4:57
  indicator. So, but the tech of a chal this week, I mean,
• 5:00
  this duke team is really really, really special. This quarterback is that
• 5:04
  boys. He's dynamic. You know, he runs the ball. He's run
• 5:09
  for over two hundred yards. He's got four touchdowns running. Uh he's throwing
• 5:13
  the you know, completing the ball at almost sixty eight percent clip. He's
• 5:17
  got great pocket presence, great pocket awareness, mechanically sound, can make every
• 5:24
  throw, rarely get sacked. So it's a it's a big time challenge for
• 5:28
  us. Those pall state loss last year, you said you saw the reaction
• 5:32
  to the locker gave you a good feeling. Are you still seeing that's the
• 5:36
  same responsive. I can't say that. I was before halftime of this week,
• 5:44
  and then something kind of that was missing came back, you know.
• 5:49
  Like I always trying to be honest with you guys, I'm not gonna like
• 5:51
  feed your lines and stuff. But like I and I talked to the team
• 5:56
  about this, I felt like, uh, we expected ourselves to be perfect,
• 6:01
  and when something didn't go right, we did not We we did that
• 6:08
  instead of continuing to fight. You know. I know we've played hard,
• 6:11
  and we and all those things, but there was just a there was a
• 6:14
  little smidgeon of something missing, you know. And it's almost like you have
• 6:20
  to you have to you have to forget expectations and you just have to play,
• 6:25
  you know, and you have to play hard and you have to work
• 6:27
  hard, and you have to stay upbeat. And I'm not saying that you
• 6:30
  ignore the negatives, but you gotta push through and you gotta learn and apply.
• 6:32
  And I felt like because we'd put so much expectations on ourselves, which
• 6:36
  I think are I don't think that there that we should have put them on
• 6:42
  ourselves because we have so much to prove. We we won six games,
• 6:46
  right, this was a program was in the gutter, and I said all
• 6:48
  off season we had Yeah, we're on the path, but we're a long
• 6:54
  ways from where we need to go right, and we still are. I
• 6:57
  mean, we're only we would play thirteen or sixteen games into this thing,
• 7:00
  you know, and we've won more games in that time than they'd won in
• 7:04
  what the last four years. So there's good things, but it's just been
• 7:06
  cloud and I feel like our players and our staff we put so much pressure
• 7:12
  on ourselves because we had these expectations that when things didn't go perfect, we
• 7:16
  we were like exasperated. And I'm including myself, you know, and that's
• 7:21
  you can't you can't perform when you're doing that, you know what I mean.
• 7:26
  And I felt like at halftime, for some reason, man like that
• 7:30
  went away. And I hope I'm right. I hope I'm right, you
• 7:33
  know, man, I hope I'm right for for those players and for the
• 7:38
  people that support us, and you know, the people that want to support
• 7:41
  us and want to see a good football team. Did you ever the game?
• 7:45
  I feel afterwards any better to you than to do your watching the watch
• 7:49
  service. Some things look better and some things looked worse, you know.
• 7:57
  Uh, to be very specific with you, you know, defensively, obviously
• 8:03
  we played better in the second half, you know, so we were more
• 8:05
  we were more sound in the first half. And I gotta say, it's
• 8:11
  like, you know, I'm like a broken record with the except four plays
• 8:13
  except for the you know, the long pass too long passes for touchdowns.
• 8:18
  Man, we're pretty damn good, you know. But those two plays were
• 8:22
  for one hundred and something yards and fourteen points, you know, so it
• 8:24
  masks the good things that you did. So it's about being consistent. So
• 8:28
  saw some good things. Offensively, we ran the ball better, you know,
• 8:33
  and we ran the ball better without really being able to throw it in
• 8:35
  the first half, and so that's a positive right there. So things look
• 8:39
  better, but I think you have to acknowledge the good things and build on
• 8:43
  them. But you can never ignore the things that we need to improve.
• 8:46
  And right now, to me, it's about consistency of execution, you know,
• 8:52
  consistently doing your job consistently, and if you do that, then you
• 8:56
  have a chance of success. And if you don't, you're playing you know,
• 9:00
  good athletes and good football teams, they make you pay, and that's
• 9:05
  happened too many times. And so as a coach, you gotta go back
• 9:07
  and you gotta valuate everything. You don't just pin it on the players.
• 9:09
  You do your job? What's that mean? You know that's too easy?
• 9:13
  How am I going to help you do your job? How am I going
• 9:15
  to put you in the right spot? So that's what you know, that's
• 9:16
  what we focus on all the time. Who's result about execution? Consistent execution?
• 9:22
  Gas of players as an execution? Execution is it? That's simple?
• 9:26
  It is at point at time, and then it's effort. But like,
• 9:30
  here's what I mean by consistency of execution? Okay, So and I'll just
• 9:33
  I'll relate it to the defense because that's it's just easier for me to do.
• 9:37
  All right. Let's say this is a this is a blocker, right,
• 9:41
  and I'm I'm lined up here and on the snap, I have to
• 9:43
  get here, right, I have to get here because there's a linebacker filling
• 9:48
  here. All right. Well, if I get cut off and I don't
• 9:50
  get there, okay, because I didn't take the right footworker I didn't rip
• 9:52
  through and get vertical, Okay, I didn't execute my assignment, and so
• 9:58
  what happens is this lineman cuts me off off my linebackers expecting me to be
• 10:01
  here, fits here, and all of a sudden there's a gap there.
• 10:05
  And it's a big game, you know what I mean. Or so that's
• 10:09
  actually, yeah, that's that's it's it's simple. It's not easy, but
• 10:13
  yeah it is. It's or like the deep ball versus are two deep coverage.
• 10:16
  You know, we got them to do what we thought we'd they do,
• 10:18
  which think we're in man, all right, turn the protection so we
• 10:22
  could get our defensive end on the back, and so our we got our
• 10:26
  defensive end on the back. He didn't beat the back, he ran past
• 10:28
  the quarterback. Our two defensive tackles got captured because they slid. Our left
• 10:33
  corner didn't get into good enough jams, so it brought our safety up.
• 10:35
  Our linebacker didn't run through, and they hit a deep one. You know.
• 10:39
  So yeah, it's like now in that play, there's like five or
• 10:41
  six execution errors, but it can be one that kills you, it can
• 10:46
  be multiple ones it gets you. So yeah, it is. But the
• 10:50
  thing is is you can't just go, well, it's execution. You go
• 10:52
  why why aren't we executing perfectly? And you're never gonna have a perfect football
• 10:58
  game, but why is there an inconsistency of executions? Is the way we're
• 11:01
  teaching it is, are we ask them to do things that they're not capable
• 11:05
  of? You know? Are we putting them in the best position all the
• 11:07
  time? Are we practicing the right things? And then when you send them
• 11:11
  across that white line, you gotta have confidence that you've done all those things
• 11:13
  and they got to go execute. But we all have to own it,
• 11:16
  you know, we all have to own it if it's not getting done.
• 11:18
  Did you follow a little job take my father, know, John McKay yoh,
• 11:22
  yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what I'm you know, my
• 11:24
  dad's a sc guy. So yeah, that was a classic. Yeah yeah
• 11:33
  yeah. Now I love my players. I love our players. I mean,
• 11:35
  I'm not like that, you know, Like you know, I was
• 11:39
  thinking about that on the field. You know, there's a lot of things
• 11:43
  I could be doing in my life, you know, right now. And
• 11:46
  there's a lot of things that I love to do. You know. I
• 11:48
  love to fly fish, and I love to ski, and I love the
• 11:50
  mountain bike, and I love the hike, and I love being with my
• 11:52
  family. And you know, I could get get another job, doing something
• 11:56
  else and do all those things, but there's no place I'd rather be than
• 11:58
  right here. We these people, you know, because it's a special place.
• 12:03
  And I've been in a lot of different organizations and you know, I'm
• 12:09
  not just blowing smoke to the people around here, but it's this is different.
• 12:13
  It's different here. It's special. You know. It feels to me
• 12:18
  like I when I was with San Francisco. We had something there now,
• 12:20
  we were winning, and we built something that Bill Walsh had built it,
• 12:22
  and you know, George Seafort had built it and Mooch and all those guys.
• 12:26
  But it's the same kind of I hate using the word culture all the
• 12:31
  time because culture is like this buzzword that everyone's used. It's the same type
• 12:35
  of like feeling. So that's what gives me hope, you know. And
• 12:37
  I get to be around these guys, I love it so mean no,
• 12:41
  and if I would never use the John McKay, I'm all for it.
• 12:45
  Now. I love these guys, man. My job is to support them,
• 12:48
  you know, Like I'm only doing this because well, I love coaching
• 12:52
  football, which means I love football players and I love coaching football players,
• 12:56
  and I love a challenge, and this is a hell of a challenge right
• 12:58
  now. On second start, are you able to adjust the offense a little
• 13:03
  bit more things that he does well on different different things? And how is
• 13:07
  that? That's? Yeah? Absolutely, you know I was asking that question
• 13:11
  last week, if we need to adjust the offense, and I think I
• 13:15
  answer is, well, we do what we do. And you know,
• 13:16
  they're both pretty similar in style. But after a start, and really,
• 13:20
  you know, my dad reminded me of this. Uh, that's the first
• 13:24
  full football game Takewon's played since high school, I think, you know,
• 13:30
  which has been like four years. And you know, it's different when you
• 13:35
  start a game as opposed when you come in a game late like the Georgia
• 13:37
  State game. You know, it's just a different vibe. We see that
• 13:39
  all the time. You see a guy come in and play really well,
• 13:41
  and then the next week when he has all the reps, you think he's
• 13:43
  gonna do better, and they kind of take a step back. And so
• 13:46
  I think we just have a better feel now for what what we need to
• 13:50
  do with him, you know, and we need to help him by running
• 13:52
  the football. We need to help him by making contested catches. If our
• 13:56
  receivers are having trouble getting open, then we need to get them open schematically,
• 14:01
  you know. And so just trying to learn and grows as we get
• 14:05
  to know him better. We'll we'll, we'll help us. Is there something
• 14:07
  you guys like to do more with with the tight ends? It doesn't seem
• 14:11
  like they than you love very mutch and just for somebody's you mean in the
• 14:16
  past game, Well, Justin's got the second most targets and I think the
• 14:22
  second most catches on the team after Buckman, you know, and I mean
• 14:24
  targets matter, no, no, I mean our you know, past concepts
• 14:33
  are developed usually to get someone open, but defenses are developed to take someone
• 14:37
  away. And in every defense there's a strength and a weakness. And you
• 14:39
  know, when you've got a dynamic player like Justin and we call him like
• 14:43
  an h back, he's not really a tight end. People focus on him.
• 14:46
  But you know, we threw the bottom I think ten nine or ten
• 14:48
  times the other day, you know, so we're still trying to get it
• 14:52
  to the to the guys that can make plays. And that's what you have
• 14:56
  to do, you know, that's what you have to do. And we'll
• 14:58
  keep working on it. Yeah, but I love to see the ball in
• 15:03
  his hands. You know, I'm I'm all for getting the ball to him.
• 15:05
  I'm all for it. You can talk a litle bit different attitude that
• 15:09
  halftime was the team were angry, they frustrated. I mean, he said,
• 15:13
  Okay, it's a great question because there had been a frustration, you
• 15:20
  know what I mean, Like the first two weeks there had been like a
• 15:24
  frustration, and I felt like the frustration went away. It was replaced by
• 15:28
  anger, and not like an like a negative anger, like an intensity,
• 15:35
  you know, like the frustration like everything's going wrong when one thing goes wrong,
• 15:41
  was replaced by a screw it. We're back in the freaking mud.
• 15:45
  It's time to freaking you know, just that type of mindset. Does that
• 15:48
  make sense? You know? And I'd like to see it carry on.
• 15:52
  And uh this, like I said earlier, now this Stuke team is gonna
• 15:56
  They're really good and I can't wait to see us go out and compete.
• 15:58
  You know. If we compete, you know, we'll we'll we'll see what
• 16:03
  happens. If you want to identified anything that you want to change, something
• 16:07
  that determine is not going to school to change schematically. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:11
  you know, every every week you do, you know, every week,
• 16:15
  and you know you try to tighten some things up or expand some roles.
• 16:19
  You know, as you learn, you know more and more about what your
• 16:22
  players can do and how to best use them. I think you know,
• 16:27
  dom to answer your question with regards to what kind of connecting to what I
• 16:32
  just said about receivers, if guys are struggling to get open, finding you
• 16:36
  know, changing some things and route structure to work to get them open,
• 16:40
  you know what I mean, if they're not beating up the press outside,
• 16:45
  then you know, getting them in position where people can't press them by moving
• 16:48
  them or something like that, you know, defensively, you know, I
• 16:52
  tend to sometimes, uh maybe try to be a little true creative, and
• 17:00
  I have to realize that these are college students that have class and all that,
• 17:03
  and you know, giving them an opportunity to play fast sometimes means simplifying
• 17:10
  just a little bit, you know, And so so those changes are always
• 17:14
  being made. And then every week, you know, as you go to
• 17:17
  face a new opponent, you have to make changes because they do different things
• 17:19
  that demand you do different things schematically. So we progress obviously use a very
• 17:26
  good team. You know, what does the progress look like this week's competitiveness
• 17:30
  and effort? Yeah, you know, in consistency, consistency of execution.
• 17:36
  Okay, like to me playing with with a with a with a noticeable passion,
• 17:42
  playing with maniacal effort, regardless of what the circumstances are, like your
• 17:48
  your effort can never be tied to your circumstance. If you tie your effort
• 17:52
  in your attitude to your circumstance, and you're destined to fail. But if
• 17:56
  you're if your attitude and your effort or independent of circumstances that you're in as
• 18:00
  a human being, I mean in any in any profession that we're in,
• 18:04
  then you have a chance to be successful, you know, as long as
• 18:07
  you hold yourself that high standard. So to me, that's that's a way
• 18:11
  to measure success. Now everyone else is going to measure it off the scoreboard,
• 18:15
  and I ultimately am too, right. But there you have to like
• 18:19
  Different Meal, I told you guys this last year, Different Meal said that
• 18:23
  he said, we have to find enough success in pursuit of it that it
• 18:27
  confirms that we're on the right path. You know what I mean? I
• 18:30
  know that's it could just be word garbage, but it meant something to me
• 18:33
  knowing him as I do. You know, we have to we have to
• 18:37
  find those victories, like you said. So that's that's kind of just the
• 18:41
  answers are different, different world. Well, last year, you're wonderfool,
• 18:48
  I know, hold yourself out of wants some games that maybe didn't look like
• 18:53
  we're playing in world fool. Do you have altimism altimisable you to be?
• 19:00
  Yes? I do. And what gives me the opposite optimism is the people
• 19:04
  in the building and how important it is to them and the attitude they bring
• 19:08
  to work every day. And when I say work, I mean practice for
• 19:11
  the players, work for the coaches, the way they've stuck together, and
• 19:17
  you know, maybe what happened at halftime a little bit in terms just to
• 19:19
  change in the mindset. It's you know, you brought that up. I
• 19:22
  brought it up to the team on Sunday at our dinner. I said,
• 19:26
  you know, last year, at one point we were sitting here one and
• 19:27
  four, and in the previous three games that we had just played, we'd
• 19:32
  given up one hundred and forty eight points and scored twenty four and then we
• 19:37
  went form one over the next five games, you know, and uh yeah,
• 19:41
  I reminded them of that. I said, you know, we gotta
• 19:45
  we gotta, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta be that gretty little,
• 19:49
  great little team again. You know, we gotta be that great little
• 19:52
  team. We can't expect anything. We gotta fight for everything. And uh,
• 19:56
  you know, I think I believe that that. Uh you know,
• 19:59
  they heard me. I believe they heard me. What impressed to coach?
• 20:03
  Help go? And look the job he's on these two years that they're copisgether
• 20:07
  through the top twenty. Well, he's done a tremendous job number one of
• 20:11
  recruiting through the portal and recruiting in general. Have've added some really really good
• 20:15
  players. He's done a great job of shoring up their their their offensive line.
• 20:19
  They've got a tremendous offensive line. You know, he's a defensive guy.
• 20:23
  I think you know, he's hired guys that are familiar with him to
• 20:26
  run his defense and uh, you know, they're only giving up nine points
• 20:30
  a game. But I think the his ability to get him very competitive very
• 20:37
  quickly. You know, he speaks number one to his ability to coach,
• 20:40
  his number in his ability to recruit both in the portal and out of the
• 20:42
  portal, and the transfer. The transfer portal has become so incredibly important right
• 20:47
  now, you know. And he's been able to track some really good players
• 20:51
  there and they're making an impact. I mean, he's a damn good coach.
• 20:53
  You know, he's got a great background. You mentioned the Victor rules
• 20:56
  has a backstys the running backer team speaks to that. It speak as well,
• 21:03
  Yeah, Vic had its more Vic in the game. It's more shoulder,
• 21:07
  which I didn't know until after the game. You know, his back
• 21:10
  was bothered, but it was more shoulder that was bothering him. You know,
• 21:14
  So his productivity was down a little bit because of that. We need
• 21:18
  to get more out of Jalen Mitchell. We need to get more out of
• 21:21
  Cam Edwards. You know, I told you guys during camp, I felt
• 21:23
  like Cam was one of the most improved guys on the team, and I
• 21:26
  think it's time for him to get some carries. Not having Brian certainly hurts
• 21:30
  our hurts our depth. You know. Uh, we we love, we
• 21:34
  loved having Brian here, you know, and it was really surprising to me
• 21:40
  that, you know, he decided that he was gonna sit and enter the
• 21:42
  portal because we valued him. You know, this is a you know,
• 21:48
  he's a little guy that you know, has been hurt a lot, but
• 21:51
  he had value to us. So you know, we can't we can't worry
• 21:55
  about that. There's a decision he made. So I think, you know,
• 21:57
  get more productivity out of jail, going to get more productivity out of
• 22:00
  Cam or giving Cam opportunities actually, because I don't think it's it's we're we're
• 22:06
  doing the right thing long term. If we continue to ask Demonte to carry
• 22:12
  the ball nineteen twenty times at his size, it's just, you know,
• 22:17
  it's just not gonna it's not gonna work. He's gonna he's gonna get beat
• 22:19
  up. And that's a tough sucker, man. He's a tough dude.
• 22:22
  So so we have to we have to, you know, we have to
• 22:25
  involve more guys. We got to force him to play and they got to
• 22:26
  go produce. And Victor's got to get healthy and he's got to be productive.
• 22:30
  And we saw him come on last season, and I think we'll see
• 22:33
  the same thing from him because he cares. You know, when you talk
• 22:37
  about improvement of the defense in the second half of what specific things where you
• 22:41
  seeing them to do better too? Really, honestly, two things, two
• 22:45
  things. Execution, okay, so you can go back to my whole little
• 22:49
  thing here and effort, And really that was it, you know, And
• 22:55
  you know, I don't know if you know, I don't know if you
• 22:56
  notice it, but I noticed, like after what happens after a good play,
• 23:03
  are guys excited and celebrating together or are they just walling around and going
• 23:08
  back to the line of scriptnge getting ready for the next play? And what
• 23:11
  it's been happening is just kind of well, and then what started happening is
• 23:15
  that there was some excitement after good plays, right, and some enthusiasm,
• 23:21
  energy and passion. To me, great defenses play without all the time,
• 23:26
  and we weren't playing that way in the first half. So that execution and
• 23:30
  the effort not creates that energy that you need to be a good defense you
• 23:36
  play this week? Excuse me? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 23:41
  no, yeah, he's he's just he's just beat up, you know.
• 23:44
  Yeah, but he's not he's not injured. He's hurting, but he's
• 23:47
  not he's not injured. Yeah, there's a difference there, you know,
• 23:52
  okay, and then if you guys, if you can say something about it,
• 23:55
  if you want to be great, just because it's it's you know,
• 23:56
  Pratt and Whitney's kind of behind a lot of this, and it's you know,
• 24:00
  it's important to us. My dad is a marine, and you know
• 24:03
  we're all affected, and our military is underappreciated in my opinion. So if
• 24:07
  you can just mention anything, it'd be great. So appreciate it. And
• 24:10
  I will not be wearing this because green is not my color. So se
