  Speaker 1: was a lot of staters. I'ms there on the Sunday
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as well. Did you enjoy your weekend in Limbrick?

  Speaker 5: I absolutely loved it. I mean I think I didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: move for like a week afterwards were coming to Dublin.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: I think I just slept. But it was such a
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: great experience and the way that the you know, American
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Football Ireland put on such a huge event the University
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: of Limerick is beautiful. I mean I got all my
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: meals like massive plates every day, so I can't complain
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: and I love to eat, so you know, honestly, it
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: was great. The competition was terrific. I couldn't have asked
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: for more. And there's only one really like typically rainy
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: summer Limerick day, So life is good.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Abe.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Can you talk to us a little bit about you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: your background in American football obviously as Nick Manchin, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you play a little bit of flag football, You've coached
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, and now you're you know, you're involved
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in the amazing coverage being provided on Sky Sports NFL.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: So look, just tell us about your journey to to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I guess yeah, I'm I mean, it really is the
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: most ridiculous, crazy rollercoaster of a journey, you know, just
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I'll try and keep it brief. I mean, I moved
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to England. It'd be eleven years in December. Despite having
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: an American accent. I have dualism ships, so my mom's
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: British but she lives in the States. So I moved
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: over here and originally moved for horses, but was looking
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: for a way to meet people. And that's how I
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: found American football up in Manchester, and I deveritely contact sport.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I didn't really follow it at all, just because horses
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: are twenty four to seven, and once I went and played,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I absolutely fell in love with it, and from there
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: I thought I want to get into coaching, so you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: it was a way to kind of give back to
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: a sport that gave me so much. And then my
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: coaching journey just kind of took off because I went
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: from coaching youth to our adult teams over here and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: then made it through the Bill Washed Diversity Fellowship and
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: ended up with the Buffalo Bills the first camp with
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: them in twenty seventeen, then twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: came back coach out in Germany for a bit coach
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: our GB teams here, and then it was pretty much
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: during COVID and Lockdown that I ended up working with
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Sky because everything was being filled remote similar to how
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: we're doing it now, and they were just looking for
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: an extra guest and had heard about me and what
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I was doing and did one episode and then it
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: really kind of all tipped over when our lovely host
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Neil Reynolds got COVID and they were like, and this
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: is what we're back in studio and they thought we
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: need to have somebody who's going to do this, So
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: myself and Hannah Wilkes got the call up. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: always stay ready, they say, and we didn't ruin it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: We didn't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: We didn't mess up too badly. So they've asked me
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: back and now I'm, you know, very fortunate to be
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: part of the skuy Sports team with Neil and Jason
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Bell and all of our amazing guests. I made the
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: moment we have and dominking Zou, who was just you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: an incredible human. So yeah, this has gone from not
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: wanting to play, to not wanting to coach, to not
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: want to do broadcasting. But somehow it's just happening.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously maybe you know you work as Jimmy
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: and I matchine they're on your south. You imagine working
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: with the Buffalo Bills, you know, other great historical franchise,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: maybe at the opposite spectrum. I feel like, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the Steelers they are known for great defenses, the Bills
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: are maybe known for great offenses. I'm just wondering, obviously
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: from a like a Buffalo Bill's point of view, what
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: sort of perception would you have on the Steelers, Like,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: because obviously with the Staelers being a large organization in sports,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering what sort of perception you would have
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: on us.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I think what's really cool about the Steelers and it
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: is just the the history that comes along with it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I think we have kind of similar fan bases in
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: the sense that they're kind of that blue collar, work
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: hard you know, they're passionate about their sports. The weather
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: is not always great, so you have to be a
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: bit different to be out there in the middle of winter,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: you know, especially you know, the stadium is right off
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: the water, right so it's it is not easy climate
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: for anybody. So for the fans who are so passionate
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: to be out there. They you know, they work so
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: hard to be able to afford these tickets. And I
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: think you look at just again the history right having
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Mike Tom I mean, that's that's incredible. How many years
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: sixteen years with the Steelers franchise and before that, they've
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: just had a history of consistency with head coaches and
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: great leadership, and I think that's really important. I think
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: that says a lot about an organization, and especially a
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: sports organization in today's day and age, where everything seems
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: so easily kind of thrown out or changed, but they
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: really stick true and believe to their believe in their values.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: One of the best things but working on sky Sports
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: on a blaphoebe is the fact that you get to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: see a lot of the games in time when you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: get to see a lot of auction And what did
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you make of the Steelers last year, but especially Kenny
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Pickett in this first year in Elague?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: You know, I think from the moment that Kenny Pickett
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: took over, it was I mean, he's just incredible, right
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: like as a young man coming into the building and
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: I think what was what was kind of cool when
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: being in Pittsburgh. We were with the walking distance of
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: the Steelers facility in terms of training facility, and just
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: even realizing that like the Steelers facility of the Pit
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: facility are literally like one in the same essentially. So
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: they got to watch Kenny Pickett kind of from a
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: distance but very close for a while, and they understood
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: what his opportunities were. And from the moment that he
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: took over, you know, when the injury happened and he
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: took over, I think of the week four or five,
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, he just handled himself so well, and he
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: had such a great relationship with his receivers, and I think,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: you know, he's got so much potential. We saw him
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: when he was playing in college. I mean, he was
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: famous for his almost slide and then was able to
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: keep I mean, you know, he changed rules in college
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: essentially because of his athleticism, and so, you know, to
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: see him kind of grow and develop, and I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: it's just been really it's been really really impressive to
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: watch him over the years, and it's it's being honest,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: it's such a shame for him to have an injury
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: right now, and you know, watching him last weekend, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: think all of us just thought all like, you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: wishing all the best and hope that it's a really
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: speedy recovery.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You have the opportunity maybe to travel to Pittsburgh for
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a week one. I know from you know, being back
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: here and watching yourself and Nil and sky Sports, the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: atmosphere seemed incredible. I know at one point you guys
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: could even hear yourselves talking. So tell us a little
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: bit about your trip and getting to meet some of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the staters, including out Rooney.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that trip was phenomenal. I don't think
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: I've ever been with an organization and I know that,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: you know, Neil and Sky tested the same thing that
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: were so welcoming and open doors and the way that
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: they made us feel such a part of the community.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: You know, from the moment we got there, you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I had the absolute honor of being able to interview
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Art Rooney. Second, I mean nobody, not many people get
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: that opportunity, and for him to come and sit down
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: and speak with us for a little bit and share
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: his love for the game and the history of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Rooney family and obviously Ireland. It's just it was it
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: was very humbling and I felt really privileged to kind
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: of be in the same space as him. And you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: then after that, having having Dan Rooney showing us around
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the Steelers Museum. I mean that that is brand new
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: in the past year, I think, he said, and to
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: kind of you watch this video at first, which just
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: kind of gives you goosebumps, and from there you travel
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: through this kind of classic like Times Stopped, and it just,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: you know, it reminds you of how much depth and
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: history there is the Steelers from this, you know, the
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Steel Curtain and the incredible players they've had over the years,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: and you know, you really feel like you're part of
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: that community. And I can imagine for fans and people
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: from Pittsburgh, like what an honor it is to have
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: that right there, you know, from playing you go in
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: the in a booth and play called the Antonio Holmes
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Catch in the end Zough and you know, there's just
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: so much really cool stuff about it. And I feel
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: bad I should be wearing my Steelers jersey. They gave
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: me an amazing little Steelers jersey with my name on it,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: and you know, I mean it's just like the most
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: giving family, you know, and Dan Rudy spent a lot
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: of time with us, and then then you get to
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: the game itself and it's wow, Like that stadium is incredible,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: The views are incredible, the yellow seats they're just you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: they light up the space. And I think it was
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: even crazy to watch they had a pit game the
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: night before, how they transformed that entire stadium from college
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: football to NFL. You know, thinking about the hashes on
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: the floor, those are different. It's just all these things
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: that go into an NFL team that you just don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: ever think about. And they gave us, you know, tours
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: and first hand experience and give us all of their
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: time when they were hosting their first home game in years,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: I mean in nine years, that's it. That's insane.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know you mentioned that interview as well.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: It was it was obviously a great pace put together
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: by s guy and obviously it shows you know that
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: the seriousness they're taken into. You know, happened Sedar Sans
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: on the island and but obviously you imagined there. You
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: actually received a jersey as well, which is cool. Can
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: you sort of delve into it as well about the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: terror of the facility with like what was that actually like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: so like did you see many like, obviously, did you
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: get to watch that much practice? Did you get to
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: just can you sort of just delve into.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: That a bit more, Yeah, of course. I mean so
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: when we got to the sports facility, it was the
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: guys were just going out to their walkthroughs at their
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: home facilities. So you know, we didn't really get to
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: do much of that, especially the day before a game.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: You know, people are pretty private about that sort of thing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: But I mean we went on the field, We went
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: through all the inner workings of the stadium, and you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: that's in its own right incredible, Like how they make
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: a game day work is just insane. Taking us through
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: the like literally walking around and seeing all the incredible
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: statues Art Rooney Statue, and you know, things that you
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: see that are history, like the Immaculate Reception they have.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: They have a statue there. You know, it doesn't it
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: doesn't stop. It's it's everywhere you look, you see a
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: piece of that history. You feel like you're a part
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: of it because they make you feel like you're a
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: part of it. Going back to the they had the
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: big Heinz bottle from back of day what used to
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: be called Hines Field. You know, it's just like all
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: these things that you see and read about and and
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: you know, it just was. It was a very cool experience.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: And again just to be a part of that all
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: and and feel so welcomed when they really didn't have
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: to do any of that was really quite special and
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: just a testament to the.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Team, I think, Phoebe, honestly, we're not just saying this
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: because it's an Irish Hitters podcast. Props the sky like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I was in the bar watching and the whole barber
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and Kui whenever you're talking about art and that I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: think for a lot of people here, regardless of who
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they support, it genuinely meant an awful lot to them
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to see. I guess maybe somewhere closer to home we
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: talked about like this, especially when it's such a big week.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It's Week one, so it was it was actually special
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and I think he's all done a great job. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gled to believe the spot that you were sunned
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and in the stadium is the Steelers said to us
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that there's been no broadcast on there before, so obviously
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he's m most feel very special. But as Jimmy said
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: there as well, the atmosphere was electric as well, so
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it must have been an amazing experience.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was so cool. I mean our view was perfect, right,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: you could see absolutely everything. I think it was. You know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: I'm always hungry, so I was right here the food,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: so you just get that lot of like amazing barbecue
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: every now and then. But the crowds walking by you
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: feel like you're a part of it. They're feeling like
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: they're watching a live show. And then of course you
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: bring in our amazing guests and then all of a sudden,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: it's just black and yellow surrounding you because everyone just loves,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: you know, our our incredible guests at the time. And yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: the view was perfect everything, like we could not ask
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: for anymore. And again, like they were just so they
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: they've bent over backwards for us.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: So tee. One of the one of those guests that
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you did have on the Sky Sports broadcast was former
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: player Max Stark's, you know, two time Super Bowl winner
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: who's now part of the Sideline and the Theaters Radio
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Sideline broadcast.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: What was like to meet Max in person? You know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I say that was pretty pretty cool.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was great because the day before we
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: had seen him in terms of his like outline in
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the museum, so you could compare your wings span to
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: his wingspan and his height because he's known for having
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: also the largest feet in the NFL. So you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: to be able to kind of had that fun and
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: then be with him the next day and I need
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: to get a box next time for someone that's all.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: But he was. He was wonderful and someone who's really
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: transformed his career. I mean, obviously an amazing player, but
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: now to be able to give back to the people.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: I know, he was so passionate about what he's doing
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: with the Stealers Radio and how he's able to still
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: interact with fans and and honestly, he was our first
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: guest and when he came up, the amount of people
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: that just went nuts for him and calling his name,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: and you know, he's so identifiable as well. He's really
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: just done such a great job and didn't be able
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: to speak to someone who's played in that stadium, who's
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: played you know under Tomlins, had all these great experiences,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: and for them to share that with you, like is
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: really quite special because you don't get very many opportunities
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: to get that like firsthand experience of somebody.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just even speaking to Max last week, and you
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: know it was actually just a sort of a pinch
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: me moment. You know, obviously Steeler's legend and stuff, so
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: it was great obviously hear some of his stories. But
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: you mentioned there as well about the funds and obviously,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: as you know, some of the most passionate and you know,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: truth loyal funds in the NFL. Even though the result
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: didn't go aus to plant, you know that the forty
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: nine ers came and the sort of you know that
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: sort of beat the bricks office if you're like, but
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I just want to know how the day was overall,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: even though maybe you may have lost, but was at
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: the least you know, you get something you could take
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: back and say, wow, that was that was a great experience.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it first starts off with literally,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: like you guys said, the noise. I mean, I've not
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: been a part of something where we could barely hear
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: each other. We were stood next to each other, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: it almost reverberates through the ground and you could feel
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: the hope and excitement and seeing those terrible towels. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: then when San Antonio Holmes came and joined us and
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: he started waving his terrible towel. It's like it was
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: like a calling. I felt like I was in like
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: the lion king, and the towel was like the little baby.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: And everyone's just like waving their towels like crazy. I
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: mean you literally, like when you talk about feeling the
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: passionate fan that is that is literally the epitome of it,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: because they are they're so dedicated and they are just
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: they they love being there. You know, the screaming and
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: excitement and you know, everyone's just like on edge the
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: whole time. And I think that's probably, you know, something
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: I'll remember, I'll remember forever. I mean the moth, on
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: the other hand, I have to say it's the only
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: kind think about our experience with these moths that kept.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Attacking interesting interesting, Oh yeah, yes, and they be like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: obviously you know. One of the great things about the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: global market scheme at the minute, and we've seen over
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years in the UK especially is
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the chims to grow sort of fun development in the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: league and like even seeing stuff like that different teams
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in the League of done last year, like Chicago Bears
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers with fan parties, and we've seen
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: something that I don't think any team is done in
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Europe anyway, since this is launched a watch party of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: its size in the stadium, and this fan party is
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: going to take place in November at in Crok Park
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and it's sold out in twenty four hours. I was
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: telling your colleague at SkySports, Cameron Hogwood, on Sunday, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: he needs to find a way to get there. It'd
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be awesome to have sky there in some way. Just
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what's your faults in this whole compitment of Ireland. How
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: awesome would be to have a game there, because I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: know how specially you thought Germany was. I genuinely think
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and I know I'm sure these boys would agree, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: people in Ireland would agree, Phoebe. I think Dublin hypothetically,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of course, at some point in the future with top it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I think the crowd would be incredible, right. I think
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt in my mind about how the fans
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: would show up and show out for any sort of
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: NFL game. And you know, we did hear mister Rooney
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: say that potentially we'll have an in season game over there.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: You know, even just my opportunity being at the aer
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Lingus College Football Classic. You know with Notre Dame that
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: atmosphere was incredible as well, right, so we know the
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: fans have that and they're excited about it. I was
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: with I was with Dan Rudy when they were talking
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: about how the events sold out, and I think they
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: were just they couldn't believe it themselves. And I think
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: it just goes to show how much passion there is
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: for this sport within Ireland. And you know, there's a
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: lot of opportunity, and there's a lot of people that
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: deserve the opportunity to to not only just become a fan,
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: but you know, go play football, whether it's tackle or flag,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: or officiate or coach. You know, there's so many avenues
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: and I think just by more and more exposure, you're
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: going to just find more and more people who fall
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: in love with this terrific sport.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And you give us your thoughts on the season so
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: far from the Steers Phoebe And obviously you know there's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: been opes on downs and maybe it hasn't quite gone
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: as you know the team itself on fans might have
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: might have might like.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: So we'd love to hear your thoughts.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, there's been some really great splashes, right.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, the the picket Pickens kind of relationship is
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: still strong, which you love to see. I think, you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: you still have the consistency of of a terrific head coach.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: You've got someone who's got a history of winning and
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: knows what it takes to win. And you know, everyone
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: understands what that standard is. And I think everyone knows that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Perhaps you know, we're not always playing to our standard,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: but it's clear where we need to go, right. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: think the defense has been a shining light as well.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, Fitzpatrick's been incredible, you know, picked by Lee
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: by Wallace only the other week, So you've got a couple's
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: great players setting up. I mean, but I think ultimately,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: like you look at the defense and you look at TJ. Watt,
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: who right now is probably arguably one of the best,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: you know, defensive linemen in the league, and and you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: you go back to what stands out to you actually
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: from that game when I was there, it was and
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I've seen it since in multiple games. But it is
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: the power that TJ. Watt has on that team. And
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: and by that, I mean he knows when he needs to,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: like he's always going a million miles an hour, but
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: he knows when he really needs to step up and
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: make that big play that that gets the rest of
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: the team lit up, and he becomes that kind of
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: heartbeat of the team and it's it's incredible to watch
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: because he does it in such a big way, in
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: such a kind of boisterous way, and it gets people. Again,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: that gives you that hope because you know, all right,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: you've got TJ. Watt and he can do incredible things.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: And that's you know, through some of this time, especially
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: while you know hopefully now fingers crossed for Pickett, but
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: hopefully you know that you've got the defense you can
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: rely on who are gonna make big plays when when
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: you really need it. And again that comes down to
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: t J. Watt for me.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just just finally, Phoebe. Obviously, this weekend is a
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: huge game, you know, against the Ravens. You know, it's
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: it's one of the best reveries in the NFL, if
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: not the most intense revery. So just obviously what you're
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: wondering about the matchup. Obviously we don't know whether pecking
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: or Peckett's gonna play a part of the injury at
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: his body as we first assumed. And I just wondering
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: how you think we match up with them again.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I think it probably goes back to defense, right. I mean,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: you you've got to stop Lamar to we start to
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: start with, and he is a tough one to the
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: scheme against. But you can scheme against him, you know
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: if you you have that strong pass rush to contain him,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: and then you've got your incredible linebacker over the middle
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: to really stuck on when he tries to run. I mean,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: if you take away his run game, when you force
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: him to be a pass only quarterback, you know he
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: can at time make those mistakes. And I think it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: stally with the Ravens. You're hoping that they make a mistake.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: But then as the Steelers, that's where you know you
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: have the opportunity to really capitalize. And remembering you've got
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: special teams, like you can definitely steal one on special teams.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: So it's going to have to be a collective team
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: effort for this to happen, but it can absolutely happen.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, the rivalry just get something different going in
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: your blood, right, Like the second you know you're playing
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: the Ravens, you just like get this fire in your
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: belly and it's going to be a battle. These two
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: teams are going to fight the entire way, and that's
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: what I love about it. Like this is like hard
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: nosed football, and Steelers like their mentality is one of
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: a kind. With again Tomlin at the head.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Of that, I have to say to you, I've loved
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: hearing about your experience in Pittsburgh. I'm also just hearing
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: about the faults so far as season, but certainly I'd
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: like to take this opportunity, not just mahal of these
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: guys here with the fans in Ireland, just to thank
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you forever and you were doing to help grow the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: game here and help grow the game overseas. So thank
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you so much. I know it will this will be
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the last time that we talked this season. I'm going
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to be positive to say when the Steelers are in
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, but we'll bring you back on The game
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: will be on Sky as well. So started looking forward
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to but obviously with you the very best over in
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the next few weeks and months, says. The covers gets
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: better and better and I'm looking forward to seeing more
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Staters football on Sky Sports. But for now Phoebe Shacktor,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: Thank you guys so much for having me.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: That was great to hear with Phobe Shacktor and the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: massive fall of Phoebe and you know, obviously she's doing
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: great work to promote the game here and great to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: hear lads just over experience in Pittsburgh, Jimmy, first off,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: great to hear from Phoebe, and man I just mentioned
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: for this team to get playing now just to you know,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: right the wrongs this weekend.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think your bounce back is definitely needed, mixed
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: big time. We could see from the reaction in social
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: media well during the game, throughout the game, and indeed
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: in the immediate aftermat of the game that you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: this is not the Steelers we were familiar with, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of things need to change if we're going
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: to have any hope of writing this ship, saving the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: season and you know, achieving our goal of going to
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: going to Vegas in February.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: So big, big things on needed. On Sunday against the Ravens.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think you'll do it with Okay, look,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: there's no point in going around that. Sunday was very disappointing.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: You know that the one thing that we know about
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the Steelers is there's high expectations, great in this excellents
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: every time they get on the field. And while Houston
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: had to be very Houston, they've had a very very
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: good start to the season by their standards and what
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of people thought. And I'd be very impressed
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: with how CJ. Stroude and Legal Collins and Tank Dalla
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: performed together on that offense. But for Pittsburgh to go
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: into Houston and only plus six points up on the board,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it's just it's it's not acceptable as fans, as analysts.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So you know we are obviously are you excited to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: see how the team will respond this week? And I'll
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: tell you what, Dave, We'll talk about it in a minute.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: But you couldn't ask for a bigger game to respond with.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: This is a massive game this week, man, massive.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, as you saying like it's it's you don't you
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: don't really need it like a bag spack to come here,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: because you know, if you're not motivated to play about
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: more Ravens, then you shouldn't be playing for the pest
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Burgh Steelers. It's historically the best revelry in the NFL,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: as we know, but just sort of to come back
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: and everything that Jimmy said, you know, to go to
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: IVY Houston and only put six points up, it's you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I wouldn't say, I Barton. But at
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: the same time, it's like, you know, what are we
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: doing on the offensive side of the ball? You know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: as I said, you don't. We shouldn't be having to
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: motivate ourselves to play the Ravens. You know, We've got
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: a bus back and we've got to get a wind.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Hopefully we been going to the bay, you know, over
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: five hundred and find ourselves where we want to be.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Jimmy, if you're gonna say so, so, I'll jump in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: very quickly. And I hear folks, Jimmy is is whether
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in the storm he's got a cold at the minute,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: still appreciate it, mon appreciate it. At the time of recording, Jimmy,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: we like Kenny Pickets came out and said, and Kenny's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like he expects to go on Sunday. So we're of
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the assumption at the time of recording a Wednesday that
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: he's going to play was going to the same go
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: down in the game on Sunday and got You know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: for for a moment you were thinking that could be
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it for a while. Great to have him back on Sunday. Look,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: he was good to see some sort of run game
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: established in Sunday against Houston. But obviously every other factor
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: on the offense needs to be worked out quickly. Any
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Steelers fan Jimmy will sitting in this podcast or listening
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to this podcast and say, we need a response, but
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: by god, we need a response quickly in this game
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: against the Ravens team, they're going to be coming out
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of all guns blazing on Sunday.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look the player, what Kenny Where Kenny got injured?
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: To be honest, I had my head in my hands
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: watching that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: It was it was far to maybe a long one.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: The naturally like the natural assumption there is some sort
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: of running play, right everyone he's ever played Madden us
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: poising played No, you know that fourth and one It
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: might be obvious call, but you put it up the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: jumper and you just rush, you know, you rush up
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the middle and you get the one yard. So I
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: don't know what the rationale was there to call a
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: passing play, particularly having Kenny Roddy out of the pocket.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: You know, that's not for us to know.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: We're not the offensive coordinators, but like, I was absolutely
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: good to see him go down.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that he's that it's not as bad as.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Was first was first thought, so that that's obviously positive
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: because you definitely want to have your QB one going
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: into this game against the Ravens.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: And I think the running game is going to be
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: so crucial against the Ravens.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what our that's our brand of football,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: that's Steers brand of football is it's hard, no smash
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: men at football, handed off and running down their throats.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: So that's going to be a critical component of success
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: against the Ravens. And I think there's a lot of
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: there's a lack of cohesive that's still on the offensive
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: line and that's going to be crucial. But yeah, I
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: mean they're just this this. If there was ever an
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: opportunity to have a massive comeback, this game against the
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Ravens has to be it. We have to come out
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: all guns blazing, hicking, scratching, screaming, swinging and put on a.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Show and just let's let's put this rough.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Couple of weeks behind us and let's move on with
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: positivity and have a great rest of the season. So
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: you know, my my fate was tested last weekend. I'm
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I commended the sitting room watch after
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: watching that game, and I was like, what did I
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: just what would I just witness? So look, I'm ever
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: positive and ever hopeful that that they're pulling out.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Of the bag this weekend.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And it's a love of sports to me, Like it's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: it's the NFL, and it's it's sometimes beautiful how it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: so up and down, but when it's your team, either
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to be like that, you wanted to be full
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: team ahead everywhere. And I share your sentiments. I was.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I watched the game in a car in the taxi.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I was. I was going crazy in the taxi as well,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: So I completely get it. And Dan, I know you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: were the same. I mean, d Baltimore win the first
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: two games, they lose to the Colts, and bands are
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: like a bit like, but we're going now, like what's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: going on here? And it's funny at the start of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the season when there's so much high energy stuff like
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: this happened they win against Cleveland like they win at
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it like in Cleveland, and that reassures their fanbase. They're
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: looking at this game with a w and their cards,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and they're a team that have only allowed fourteen and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: a half points per game so far this season. As
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Jimmy said, this is the big one. A big offensive
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: performance is needed. Get both sides of the ball and
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the pass and the receiving game needs to be on
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: fire this weekend going into this Baltimore game, and we
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: have to find a way to stop guys Exay Flyers
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and stop Lamar Jackson from getting anywhere. And if anybody
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: can do it, honestly, this Pittsburgh defense can do it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Please go.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I completely agree with everything you've said.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: There.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Make a divisional game. I guess the Ravens it's going
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: to be tight. You know, you know, people will maybe
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: watch our performance last week and think, oh the Steelers,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: you know that they can't even beat the time accents.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: But when it comes to the Sea Lerton Raiments, it's
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: always a one score game. And if you think of
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: it as well, you know the played you know Gardner
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Minshew and the player, the Cleveland Browns second trend quarterback.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: His name escapes me like I had a pretty you know,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to say they've had an easy run,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: but compared ourselves, you know, we've We've played some good
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: teams like you mentioned about C. J. Stroud and you
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: know we we played the Browns as well, we managed
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: to beat them. So I just as just to relate
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: everything yourself and Jimmy just said, you know, if we
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: can just get both sides of the balls going, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: you know, anything can happen on any given Sunday. Let's
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: just hope obviously Canna can can can play. You know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: after the game, it was talking that potentially missing out
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: some on some time, but now partly the news is
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: a lot more positive. So, as Jimmy said, just going
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: into this Sunday with a positive head mindset thinking yet
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: we're gonna be able to This is the week we're
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: going to break through this glass seal and hopefully, you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: by the end of it going into the bay, we're
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: three and two and not the other way around. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: fingers crossed the work, you know, boys.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: All right, just to echo, it's not just the offense
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: that has to step back up. I mean, our defense
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: is in fairness, have carried us so far in the season.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: But they were so they were so quiet against the Texans,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: against a rookie quarterback, a banged up offensive line. Okay,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: they got pressures, but there was no there was no
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: takeaways that we've been accustomed to it. They didn't have
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a single sack. The cornerbacks and the secondary looked genuinely
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: lost the times. So I think that might have been
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a potentially a bit of a drop game for us.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: So I think, now, okay, we've we can just forget
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: about that. The Texans game happened. It was a disaster
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: from start to finish. Let's go into this game now
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: with a fresh mindset, and that's going to beat the Ravens.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Right. Let's as you said, positive mindset. Let's get a package.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, theaters win a close game, seventeen sixteen.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's gonna go out there and say sixteen points for
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the crack Bat. They're gonna win seventeen sixteens high and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the place is going to be electric. Kenny'll play and
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: we're on a podcast on Monday, me after a London game,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: half away agoing nuts, fleeing to in the season, looking
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: ahead to a great bye week. Positive vibes for me, Jimmy,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: what are you thinking?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: You know I'm an aftural optimist. Nick. I always have been,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and sometimes to my detriment, but I can't help.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: But it's just my nature. I have faith in the
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Steelers team. I have faith they're going to bounce back.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I have faith in my tom at least, and I'm
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: going twenty one to twenty Steelers we just about eke
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: it out and we get away with the win, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: everything is right in the world again.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Everything that's right in the world. Well, Dave true man,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I'm at further loving at the weekend, and I talked
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: him aout the Steels, so he's going to try and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: get involit That actually holp him. I even choking. Give
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: us your big prediction, mate, go for it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Just even listening to Jimmy there, it's just stole my scoreline.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Just I was thinking of a score gam me there,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: but I haven't said that I was. I was just like,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna sort of not drop dramatize. This is out
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: the word I'm looking for. I think this is what's
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: gonna happen. The Ravens are gonna be winning twenty eight
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: to nineteen in the last ten seconds of the game,
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: we're gonna hurt one to the end zones score and
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: we're gonna go for a two point conversion of when
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: a twenty one to twenty is night production as well.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: It's optimistic. I don't know, Mac, you have.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Such a John Harbor move there against against against the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: real of it. I love it. I love it, boys,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I love it right. I feel like we've reset the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: whole situation. This is great. I feel like we're gonna
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: start again here too, and so we're gonna go for
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a boys. I mean, it could be worse. I mean,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I said to myself and Gez, the more there could
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: be a Giants fan and that whole situation the Monday
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and football. So I'll take it there and we'll go
• 35:45
