38
00:02:04,880 –> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: let me set this up shop alight. When the Chiefs

39
00:02:07,680 –> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: have had moments. Let’s go back through sixty one years

40
00:02:10,040 –> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: of history here, all the way back to the Dallas

41
00:02:12,600 –> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Texans in the AFL days. The Texans won the sixty

42
00:02:15,880 –> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: two AFL title. The next year they moved to Kansas City.

43
00:02:19,000 –> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: They have a losing season. Then the sixty six team

44
00:02:22,960 –> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: wins the AFL title Super Bowl won against the Packers.

45
00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: The next year, don’t make the playoffs understand different format.

46
00:02:29,400 –> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: Sixty nine they win the Super Bowl Super Bowl. For

47
00:02:33,160 –> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: the next year, they don’t make the playoffs. In ninety three,

48
00:02:37,120 –> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs make the AFC Championship Game. The next year

49
00:02:39,960 –> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: nine to seven, Joe Montana trying to make it through

50
00:02:42,480 –> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: the year wildcard team barely and get drilled by Miami.

51
00:02:46,120 –> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: Couldn’t back it up. You played on the O three

52
00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: team nine and oh start people fond of that team.

53
00:02:51,240 –> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: The next year we start oh four with two home

54
00:02:54,120 –> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: games and start I believe over three and four. Here’s

55
00:02:57,240 –> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: the point. The franchise, prior to Indy Reid taking over

56
00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the chair, had never been able to follow up a

57
00:03:05,440 –> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: great season with the great season. Now in eight years,

58
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs with eighty five Andy Reid wins, have done

59
00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: this for eight consecutive years and gone to the AFC

60
00:03:17,520 –> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: Championship Game, won the Super Bowl, and zeroing in on

61
00:03:20,720 –> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: another one. Here’s my question to you, because very shortly

62
00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: we are going to hear from Chiefs chairman and CEO

63
00:03:26,240 –> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Clark Kunn about why we have won. You played in

64
00:03:30,560 –> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: this league, you know how hard it is to win

65
00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and win consistently. When you look back at the last

66
00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: eight years, why are the Chiefs now a team that

67
00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: is winning year in and year out like the Steelers

68
00:03:42,480 –> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: have done for fifty years and the Patriots have done

69
00:03:44,440 –> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: for twenty. Well, when you ask me as a player,

70
00:03:47,520 –> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: I guess you know. A players always asked to be

71
00:03:50,240 –> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: able to focus on the target or the task at hand,

72
00:03:54,280 –> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: whether it’s the single play, the drive, the game that week,

73
00:03:58,000 –> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: that week’s opponent. And you add that the coaching staff,

74
00:04:01,400 –> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: you ask the general manager, you ask your president and

75
00:04:05,120 –> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: the owner of your franchise to have the visionary aspect

76
00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: to be able to look beyond just one season, to

77
00:04:12,120 –> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: be able to look eight years down the road and

78
00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: want to build something. When you call a legacy or

79
00:04:16,800 –> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: a dynasty, players just we have to stay in the moment.

80
00:04:19,839 –> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: We have to stay in the now. That’s how players

81
00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: become great at what they do because they have to

82
00:04:23,760 –> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: force themselves to standing now, can’t look beyond this week’s opponent.

83
00:04:28,440 –> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: What Andy Reid has done is He’s come down and

84
00:04:31,279 –> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: laid a format. He blewprinted what a championship team was

85
00:04:35,640 –> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: going to look like. He knew it started with a

86
00:04:38,400 –> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: legendary quarterback, an elite quarterback. You got to give him

87
00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: in the trenches on both sides of the ball. You

88
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: gotta give him somebody to protect the quarterback, and then

89
00:04:47,920 –> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: somebody on the defensive side of the ball to get

90
00:04:49,760 –> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. Every team needs a great pass rusher,

91
00:04:53,200 –> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: and then you need leadership on both sides of the ball,

92
00:04:56,360 –> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: and you need a consistent special teams kicker and hunter.

93
00:05:00,760 –> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Those are the fundamentals when you talk about building an

94
00:05:04,560 –> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: Andy Reid’s program. What does his teams always have? What

95
00:05:07,880 –> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: is the consistency you see season the season, game in

96
00:05:10,760 –> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: the game. It’s those attributes that have let him lead

97
00:05:15,360 –> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: this organization into what we call the Promised Land right

98
00:05:18,640 –> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: now right in the Midwest. This is God’s country. Everything

99
00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: comes up roads. Every time he draws up a player,

100
00:05:24,040 –> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: it ends up being a good thing. But that persistency

101
00:05:28,200 –> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: and consistency is a obsessiveness with understanding the process is

102
00:05:34,920 –> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: so much greater than anyone product. And he believes in

103
00:05:38,080 –> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: that process of building a championship team through those key players,

104
00:05:43,040 –> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: key figures, and it’s only one way to do it.

105
00:05:45,279 –> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: You have to be trustworthy, You got to be honest,

106
00:05:47,279 –> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: you got to be hard working, you gotta be humble.

107
00:05:50,080 –> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: But one thing you gotta be is you gotta be

108
00:05:52,279 –> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: obsessed with letting your personality show in the field and

109
00:05:55,040 –> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: putting your team in front of yourself. It’s like Andy

110
00:05:58,279 –> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: had the vision when he took the job. He could

111
00:06:00,640 –> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: have taken several jobs, go back to January twenty thirteen.

112
00:06:03,880 –> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: But when he took this job, it’s like he saw

113
00:06:05,960 –> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: what you just said in his mind, like an old

114
00:06:08,680 –> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: testament profit and he’s lived it to fruition. But I’m

115
00:06:11,680 –> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: going to tag it one more thing here before we

116
00:06:13,760 –> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: hear from Clark, and it’s going to deal with that family.

117
00:06:16,839 –> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Clark con had to act decisively and make a big

118
00:06:20,040 –> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: investment when he got Andy Reid back in twenty thirteen.

119
00:06:23,920 –> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: The investment not just financially, but in every way, shape

120
00:06:28,839 –> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: or form by the Hunt family. And I’m Clark and

121
00:06:31,440 –> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: his siblings and his mom has been dynamic to me

122
00:06:36,480 –> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: and to build this for eight years. Look around this

123
00:06:39,040 –> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: league shop. There are so many issues with owners. Look

124
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: in our division, the transfer from one generation to the

125
00:06:45,720 –> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: next is an issue at all three other division teams

126
00:06:49,240 –> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: right now. The Hunt family and how they engineered that

127
00:06:53,320 –> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: transition but then made a dynamic decision making and their

128
00:07:00,960 –> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: commitment to me is unparalleled in the sixty years. And

129
00:07:04,880 –> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: not against mister Hunt, the founder, he did it too,

130
00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: but this group, it’s amazing what they’ve done and it’s

131
00:07:11,000 –> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: easy to take it for granted. Well, every player would

132
00:07:14,120 –> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: say they want to follow a man that has the

133
00:07:16,280 –> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: right type of character, has the right type of integrity,

134
00:07:20,520 –> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that has built the right way. And Andy Reid, no

135
00:07:22,920 –> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: matter what’s where he stopped at in college and the

136
00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: pros in Philadelphia here, he’s always He’s always been somebody

137
00:07:29,560 –> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: who you know that you know where you lie, you

138
00:07:31,840 –> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: know where you stand. With coach Andy Reid, he doesn’t

139
00:07:34,120 –> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: he doesn’t shoo cody, treat you like a man. He

140
00:07:36,080 –> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: doesn’t try to waste your time. He doesn’t meet just

141
00:07:38,360 –> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: to meet to kind of keep you out of trouble.

142
00:07:40,600 –> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: He expect men to be men, come out, be ready

143
00:07:43,360 –> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: to play, be prepared, understand your role on the team.

144
00:07:46,880 –> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: He wants to get everybody involved. He wants to be everybody.

145
00:07:49,840 –> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: He knows this game. Everybody can’t be a part of

146
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: our team every year this team, if you’re good, you’re

147
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a desired about other teams. There’s gonna be

148
00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: teams willing to pay you more than they can afford

149
00:08:00,760 –> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: to pay you. Here, he applauds that he wants guys

150
00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: to go and be able to take care of their

151
00:08:05,160 –> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: families for generations. He knows how specialty is to play

152
00:08:08,560 –> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he wants to bring together fifty

153
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: three guys that all understand how much of a privilege

154
00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: it is to be a part of the NFL, but

155
00:08:16,200 –> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: not only be a part of the NFL, but be

156
00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: a part of the Kana City Chiefs. Again. The commitment

157
00:08:21,560 –> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and development and the putting the right people in the

158
00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: right spots. Clark Hunt has been magnificent since the beginning

159
00:08:29,320 –> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: of twenty thirteen. Even I mean buying Super Bowl rings

160
00:08:32,760 –> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: I’ve tried to try on my phone. It blows up

161
00:08:34,640 –> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: like I can’t even figure. I mean, it’s crazy what

162
00:08:36,840 –> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: the Hunt family has done, and they’ve really set the

163
00:08:39,320 –> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: tone now of being the prototype NFL franchise. Earlier in

164
00:08:42,160 –> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: the week, I sit down with Clark Hunt and asking

165
00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: the same question, I ask you, why do we win,

166
00:08:49,480 –> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Why have we won consistently at a high level for

167
00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: such a long time? Well, as promised in this Defending

168
00:08:56,320 –> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: the Kingdom episode, we’re focusing on why we win and

169
00:09:00,120 –> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: with us as the chairman and CEO of the Kansas

170
00:09:02,320 –> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, who has taken the franchise to

171
00:09:05,400 –> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: unprecedented levels. First of all, Clark, congratulations on earlier you

172
00:09:10,280 –> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: announcing the extension of both head coach Andy Reid and

173
00:09:14,559 –> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: also with Brett Veach general manager Mitch. It’s great to

174
00:09:19,840 –> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: be on with you today and we really really are

175
00:09:22,800 –> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: excited to be able to announce Andy and Brett’s extension.

176
00:09:26,720 –> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: They’ve done such a great job in their time with

177
00:09:28,760 –> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: the franchise, and I’m glad that both of them wanted

178
00:09:31,679 –> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: to extend their time with us and help us pursue

179
00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: some more World championships. For Brett, it’s going to be

180
00:09:38,480 –> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: hard not to campaign for him to be Executive of

181
00:09:40,840 –> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: the Year to see what he was done had done

182
00:09:43,480 –> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: in the off season with the player extensions, and to

183
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: see what he’s done to help keep building this franchise.

184
00:09:49,480 –> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: He’s making a pretty strong case. Clark. Yeah, he’s sure is.

185
00:09:54,000 –> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people during the summer as

186
00:09:56,640 –> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: we got Patrick’s deal done, and then Chris jones Is

187
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: deal done right right behind that, who mentioned that maybe

188
00:10:02,880 –> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Bret should win Executive of the Year before we even

189
00:10:05,080 –> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: played the game. And I think there’s a lot a

190
00:10:08,080 –> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: lot of truth to that. He did a fantastic job

191
00:10:10,440 –> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: managing our cap situation, a very very tight cap situation,

192
00:10:15,200 –> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: and was able to really bring back virtually the entire

193
00:10:18,960 –> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: roster from our Super Bowl fifty four team. So kudos

194
00:10:22,640 –> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: to him. I want to ask you about those two

195
00:10:25,760 –> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: guys in particular, because it seems like in both cases

196
00:10:28,760 –> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: both coach reading with Brent, they are proactive instead of reactive.

197
00:10:33,520 –> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: What does that mean in leading and winning at this

198
00:10:36,040 –> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: level to be that way? Yeah, and I think that’s

199
00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: right with both of them. I’ve always found that your

200
00:10:44,840 –> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: best football coaches you your best executives. There’s an element

201
00:10:49,280 –> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: of impatience to them. They’re always thinking about, you know,

202
00:10:52,840 –> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: how can I be better? How can I make the

203
00:10:55,720 –> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: team better. I think with Andy we often see that

204
00:10:59,360 –> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: with any of the creative plays, uh that that he

205
00:11:02,679 –> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: pulls out of the bag every week, um, you know which.

206
00:11:06,520 –> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I understand that he designs most of most of those

207
00:11:09,280 –> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: while he’s sitting on the beach in California during the

208
00:11:11,760 –> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: summer um. But you know, it’s it’s tremendous. Andy at

209
00:11:15,520 –> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: this point in his career is still really one of

210
00:11:17,640 –> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: the most creative coaches in the league, and he’s coming

211
00:11:19,880 –> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: up with new ideas every week to help the football

212
00:11:23,640 –> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: team better. Uh, same thing with Brett. I mean you

213
00:11:26,559 –> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, somebody who’s impatient, somebody who’s aggressive.

214
00:11:30,440 –> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: I think that defines Brett Beach. Uh. You know, he

215
00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: went out and he signed Tyrn Matthew, traded for Frank

216
00:11:37,920 –> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: Clark a couple of years ago. We really needed to

217
00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: improve on defense. It was probably our defense that that

218
00:11:43,679 –> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: prevented us from getting to the Super Bowl in two

219
00:11:46,080 –> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: and eighteen, and uh it was our defense that that

220
00:11:49,760 –> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: helped us get there and closed the deal last year.

221
00:11:52,880 –> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: So you know, credit credit to him for identifying, uh

222
00:11:56,480 –> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: ways to make the football team better and then finding

223
00:11:58,960 –> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: a way to go out and executed. Same thing on

224
00:12:02,440 –> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: retaining our veterans this offseason. Just tremendous job on his part.

225
00:12:07,720 –> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Pluck to take this discussion, maybe go on Google Earth

226
00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: at a little bit, and unprecedented levels of winning. I

227
00:12:14,240 –> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: mean Andy with eighty five wins and seven a half years,

228
00:12:16,800 –> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: five playoff victories, a Super Bowl Championship, back to back

229
00:12:19,960 –> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: AFC Championship games, and looking at our great history, it

230
00:12:25,160 –> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: was always hard to back up after a great year

231
00:12:27,760 –> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: to come back and have another great year. But when

232
00:12:30,160 –> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: you look at what’s happened in the last seven and

233
00:12:31,880 –> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: a half years, is you look at it from you know,

234
00:12:35,520 –> 00:12:39,479
Speaker 1: outside the realm, so to speak. Why has this franchise

235
00:12:39,520 –> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: been able to consistently win now for going into an

236
00:12:42,640 –> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: eighth season? Yeah, well, I think a lot of that’s

237
00:12:46,679 –> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: really a credit to Andy Reid and his staff in

238
00:12:50,880 –> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: the job he does in leading our football team. One

239
00:12:55,280 –> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: of his best qualities is he’s very, very consistent over

240
00:12:59,840 –> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: the years. He developed a formula that was successful for

241
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: him when he was in Philadelphia that that team you know,

242
00:13:07,520 –> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: went through basically over a decade where they were one

243
00:13:11,120 –> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: of the most winning teams in the National Football League,

244
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: and he’s now been able to repeat it. Uh in

245
00:13:17,160 –> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Uh So, I think I think that’s a

246
00:13:20,120 –> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: big part too. I think it’s keeping everybody humble, right, um,

247
00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, and he’s a very humble person by by nature.

248
00:13:28,360 –> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Uh So. As Brett veach. But we also have some

249
00:13:31,480 –> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: of those leaders in the locker room who, in addition

250
00:13:34,800 –> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: to being great players, that they’re willing to hold their

251
00:13:37,840 –> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: teammates accountable, uh their humble themselves, and they’re making sure

252
00:13:42,000 –> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: everybody stays dialving and focused. And of course I’m talking

253
00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes turn Matthew. You know, those guys are

254
00:13:49,880 –> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: tremendous leaders and on the respective sides of the ball,

255
00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: they’re they’re keeping their guys focused, and I think that’s

256
00:13:56,280 –> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: been a big part of our success to this point

257
00:13:58,640 –> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: in the season. And I’ll say this, You’ve had those

258
00:14:01,440 –> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: same attributes as well. But to develop culture is very difficult,

259
00:14:06,040 –> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: whether it’s in a business, even in a family, but

260
00:14:09,480 –> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: for for sure in a National Football League team. But

261
00:14:12,120 –> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: what about the culture that has been built here, even

262
00:14:14,640 –> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: that it goes beyond the football side throughout the entire organization. Yeah,

263
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: that’s probably one of the biggest lessons that I that

264
00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: I’ve learned over the past fourteen fifteen years is how

265
00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: important the culture of the team and really the entire

266
00:14:32,280 –> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: organization is to being successful on the field. If you

267
00:14:36,920 –> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: have a group of people that likes working together, who’s

268
00:14:40,640 –> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: willing to hold each other accountable and who sees the

269
00:14:45,120 –> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: goal and knows where we’re headed as an organization. You’ve

270
00:14:49,160 –> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: got a chance of being successful you’re in year out.

271
00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: And I think with with Andy, with Brett, with Mark

272
00:14:56,200 –> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Donovan on the business side, you know, we have those

273
00:14:58,880 –> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of great leaders who are are setting that culture.

274
00:15:03,320 –> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: And I think really everybody’s bought into that, and it

275
00:15:07,280 –> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: extends into the locker room. Um. You know, I learned

276
00:15:09,880 –> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: early on if if you have some bad apples in

277
00:15:11,920 –> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: the locker locker room, it doesn’t matter how talented you are,

278
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: you’re not going to be successful. And I think we

279
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: just have a great group of guys in that locker

280
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: room h and they’re excited to play with and play

281
00:15:23,440 –> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: for their teammates. And what does it mean that the

282
00:15:25,960 –> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: quarterback as those attributes almost plus plus? I mean everything

283
00:15:30,280 –> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: that you’ve said here, it seems like Patrick has checks

284
00:15:32,640 –> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: all those boxes. Yeah, he sure does. And I think

285
00:15:36,560 –> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: we saw it his first year as a starter back

286
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, you know, when he was, you know,

287
00:15:43,240 –> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: twenty three years of age. He just he came into

288
00:15:47,400 –> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: the locker room that that way, and even though he

289
00:15:50,520 –> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: was a first year starter, his teammates really gravitated towards him,

290
00:15:55,440 –> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: and I think that just says a lot about his character.

291
00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: They recognized that he was a supreme talent. He was

292
00:16:03,360 –> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: somebody who could leave the football team to a lot

293
00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: of victories, but they he was also somebody that they

294
00:16:09,480 –> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: wanted to play for. And uh, you know, having your

295
00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: quarterback really the most important player on an NFL roster,

296
00:16:17,200 –> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, have those type of qualities was very, very

297
00:16:20,080 –> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: helpful in the team being successful in eighteen and nineteen

298
00:16:23,760 –> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: and so far this year, in twenty and so far

299
00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: this year in twenty. Setting here at eight and one,

300
00:16:28,920 –> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: it’s a big week. I look at the rest of

301
00:16:30,520 –> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: the AFC, nine teams have records of six and three

302
00:16:34,080 –> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: or more. So it’s how we’ve won to this point,

303
00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: but then from this point on how difficult it is

304
00:16:41,320 –> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: to continue to try to sustain it. Yeah, that’s exactly right,

305
00:16:46,720 –> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: and it’s why Andy Reid doesn’t like to spend a

306
00:16:50,720 –> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: lot of time, you know, talking about the success we’ve

307
00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: had the past nine weeks and really wants to focus

308
00:16:57,520 –> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: on the task at hand, And of course that starts

309
00:16:59,560 –> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: this week with the Raiders. This is an incredibly important

310
00:17:03,520 –> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: divisional game this week. The Raiders are having an outstanding year.

311
00:17:07,800 –> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: They have a very good football team, and if we

312
00:17:10,640 –> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: want to go where we would like to go at

313
00:17:12,880 –> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: the end of the season, we need to figure out

314
00:17:15,640 –> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: how to be better and how to go out to

315
00:17:17,119 –> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and beat the Raiders. And then just you know,

316
00:17:21,400 –> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: looking at the rest of the schedule this year, we

317
00:17:25,200 –> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: have a number of games against very, very difficult teams,

318
00:17:28,320 –> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: so we’re definitely going to have to stay focused on

319
00:17:31,760 –> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: the task at hand if we want to get back

320
00:17:34,440 –> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: to the playoffs in the Super Bowl. I want to

321
00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: ask you too, just about the league overall. Let’s just

322
00:17:39,680 –> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: take our franchise first though, because everybody’s dealing, of course

323
00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: with the COVID pandemic. We’ve taken the lead in working

324
00:17:46,760 –> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: with this, but just the vigilance that’s going to be

325
00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: required of everybody in the organization. But then as the

326
00:17:52,240 –> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: league and your discussions with the league moving forward, to

327
00:17:56,480 –> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: do the best we can with the situation that’s been

328
00:17:58,840 –> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: handed to us. Yeah, I think, you know, really everybody

329
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: at the league office and certainly throughout our staff deserve

330
00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot of credit on helping us get to this

331
00:18:10,880 –> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: point where we’ve made it ten weeks. We have had

332
00:18:16,480 –> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: some games that were postponed and had to be rescheduled,

333
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: But to this point we’ve gotten all the games in

334
00:18:23,280 –> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: more or less on schedule, and that’s taken a herculean

335
00:18:26,960 –> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: effort on the part of a lot of people, starting

336
00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: with the league and their counterparts at the NFL Players Association,

337
00:18:35,440 –> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: who developed the protocols that have largely kept the players, coaches,

338
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: and staff healthy and able to play each week. The

339
00:18:45,320 –> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: job is not going to get it easier though, going forward.

340
00:18:47,920 –> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: We all know there’s a spike in COVID right now

341
00:18:51,760 –> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: across the country, and we’re just going to have to

342
00:18:54,560 –> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: remain vigilant, remain humble, remain adaptable because there’s likely to

343
00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: be things that change, and you know that when that

344
00:19:03,320 –> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: change comes, we’re just gonna have to be able to

345
00:19:05,920 –> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: handle it. So it’s not gonna be an easy task

346
00:19:08,200 –> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: going forward. But I certainly do want to say thank

347
00:19:10,920 –> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: you to all the people who made a contribution in

348
00:19:14,880 –> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: helping the league get to this point and for a

349
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: franchise as a follow up. Every time I’ve gone to

350
00:19:19,760 –> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: those five home games, it’s been very unique, obviously, but

351
00:19:23,840 –> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: seeing how much how painstaking people have been in the

352
00:19:27,880 –> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: links that they’ve taken to make sure that for the

353
00:19:30,359 –> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: fans that are there and the folks that are in

354
00:19:32,480 –> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: that stadium, just the links that have been taken to

355
00:19:35,440 –> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: make sure that’s the best environment possible. Yeah, and I

356
00:19:39,720 –> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: want to say thanks to our great fans for being

357
00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: willing to come out in very difficult circumstances. Um. I

358
00:19:48,880 –> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: know that was a tough decision for a lot of

359
00:19:51,440 –> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: people in terms of deciding whether it would be safe

360
00:19:54,440 –> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: to come to Earrahead this year. And our staff has

361
00:19:57,440 –> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: done a great job with protocols making sure that we

362
00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: can keep people socially distanced, making sure we can keep

363
00:20:05,200 –> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: keep everyone with their mass on handling the ingress and

364
00:20:09,760 –> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: egress from the stadium in a way that keeps everybody safe.

365
00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: And I think really the most encouraging thing I’ve heard

366
00:20:17,760 –> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: is the fans who’ve been to games that are had

367
00:20:21,640 –> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: almost to a person would say that it was very safe.

368
00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: They felt comfortable being there, and that’s a credit to

369
00:20:29,080 –> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: the job or staffs done. And finally, just the discussions

370
00:20:33,280 –> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: with the league looking at the postseason, there have been

371
00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: there have been discussions of changing the postseason format, maybe

372
00:20:38,640 –> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: adding a team that extra week is in there, possibly

373
00:20:43,160 –> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: for rescheduled games just the discussion, because one thing, it’s

374
00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: been impressive, not only the effort that you give for

375
00:20:50,359 –> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: our franchise, but the way you also are a caretaker

376
00:20:53,359 –> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of the National Football League. What about

377
00:20:55,600 –> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: those discussions and how it could look going into the

378
00:20:58,240 –> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: months after the regular season. Well, one of the things

379
00:21:01,960 –> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: the league has had to grapple with going all the

380
00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: way back to March is just contingency planning for everything,

381
00:21:08,800 –> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: because with the virus, you don’t know you know what

382
00:21:12,720 –> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: you’re going to be able to do and what you’re

383
00:21:14,160 –> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do. And you know,

384
00:21:16,960 –> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: those discussions, you know, several weeks ago turned to the

385
00:21:20,600 –> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: postseason and what would happen if we had teams who

386
00:21:25,359 –> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: weren’t able to complete their sixteen game season. So you

387
00:21:30,119 –> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: have to start thinking about things about, Okay, who qualifies

388
00:21:33,040 –> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: for the playoffs and those circumstances. You have one team

389
00:21:35,240 –> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: that’s played sixteen and a team that’s played fourteen, how

390
00:21:38,080 –> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: do you decide who makes the playoffs? And so last

391
00:21:42,680 –> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: week we approved a contingency plan in the event that

392
00:21:48,720 –> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: not everybody plays the same number of games, where the

393
00:21:52,119 –> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: playoffs would be expanded from seven teams in each conference

394
00:21:56,240 –> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: to eight, and the seating to make the playoffs would

395
00:22:01,640 –> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: be based on winning percentage as opposed to just win

396
00:22:04,840 –> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: loss record. So those are the type of things that

397
00:22:08,240 –> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: the league has really had to think about and the

398
00:22:10,640 –> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: type of adjustments that have been contemplated as we’ve dealt

399
00:22:15,440 –> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: with COVID throughout the year. You know, hopefully we’re going

400
00:22:18,760 –> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: to get through this thing. We’re going to get through

401
00:22:20,480 –> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: the season and in seventeen or possibly eighteen weeks, everybody’s

402
00:22:25,520 –> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: going to get to play sixteen games. But if that

403
00:22:27,920 –> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: doesn’t happen, the great news is there’s a contingency plan

404
00:22:31,760 –> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: and we’ll be off to the playoffs and hopefully concluding

405
00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: the season down in Tampa at the Super Bowl. Well, Clark,

406
00:22:41,000 –> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: thank you for the commitment that you’ve made, Tavia, the

407
00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: Hunt family, your mother, everything to build this franchise into

408
00:22:50,160 –> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: unprecedented winning for all of us in the Chiefs Kingdom.

409
00:22:53,800 –> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Thanks and we look forward to the days and weeks

410
00:22:56,560 –> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: ahead where we can continue to try to run it back. Yeah, match,

411
00:23:00,800 –> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: great to be on with you and for our great fans.

412
00:23:03,880 –> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: We’re working day in, day out trying to run it back.

413
00:23:08,400 –> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: All right to me? Interesting interview, fashioning interview. He was

414
00:23:11,080 –> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: very forthright. I mean he didn’t hold back at all.

415
00:23:13,160 –> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: Shot he told you what was on his heart. Well,

416
00:23:17,280 –> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: do one thing about it. When you when you know

417
00:23:18,760 –> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: when somebody’s confident, and you know when somebody has a

418
00:23:21,840 –> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: lot of a true belief in their heart for what

419
00:23:23,720 –> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: they do because they’re not afraid to share it. Just

420
00:23:27,040 –> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: because you know the formula this, because you know the

421
00:23:29,640 –> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: recipe with ingredients it takes to build a champion, doesn’t

422
00:23:32,240 –> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: mean you can go out and get it. There’s not

423
00:23:33,880 –> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: a coach like Andy Reid lyne around on the corner.

424
00:23:35,960 –> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: You can’t find a Pat Mahomes or a Honey Badge

425
00:23:38,040 –> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: or a Frank Clark. You can’t find a Clouds. You

426
00:23:40,680 –> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: can’t Those guys aren’t just sitting around waiting for you

427
00:23:42,760 –> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: to bring them to your organization. And then even once

428
00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: you get them there, there’s so many things that have

429
00:23:47,160 –> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: to be done the right way. There has to be

430
00:23:49,280 –> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: a commitment and a value system in a vision put

431
00:23:52,400 –> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: in place for everybody to follow that same goal, that

432
00:23:55,520 –> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: same dream, that same vision. And here Kansas City coach

433
00:24:00,440 –> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, he sets out such a clear and vivid

434
00:24:03,040 –> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: picture of what it takes from each and every individual

435
00:24:06,720 –> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: player and coaches and support staff. For this to be

436
00:24:11,119 –> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: a championship organization, there is no gray areas. You eliminate

437
00:24:15,280 –> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: the gray areas. And that’s what coach Andy Red does

438
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: better than any of the coach here in the NFL. Yeah, phenomenal.

439
00:24:21,840 –> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: All right, we’re gonna close again. This episode of Defending

440
00:24:24,800 –> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: the Kingdom is why we win, why we’ve won for

441
00:24:27,920 –> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: eight years, why we’re winning now, big week this week

442
00:24:30,200 –> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. But as we close, we need to

443
00:24:33,080 –> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: be honest here. How do we keep this going? And

444
00:24:35,600 –> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: what’s in the way that could derail the train? So

445
00:24:39,760 –> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts shop as we close this episode, how do

446
00:24:42,640 –> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: we keep this going? It’s always a great feeling when

447
00:24:45,400 –> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: you know there’s thirty one other teams in the NFL,

448
00:24:49,200 –> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: but there’s only one team that keeps the Chiefs from

449
00:24:51,359 –> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: being a champion, and that’s the Chiefs. Their own desire,

450
00:24:54,760 –> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: their own internal for to their own commitment, sacrifice they’re

451
00:24:58,720 –> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: willing to make every year to come in being the

452
00:25:01,560 –> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: most prepared where there’s physically, mentally, emotionally to sacrifice for

453
00:25:06,119 –> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: one another, to go out there as a family and

454
00:25:08,400 –> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: fight for sixty minutes every week and show that they’re

455
00:25:11,680 –> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: willing to grow, grow every week. They’re not worried about

456
00:25:14,960 –> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. They want to grow. So at the end

457
00:25:17,440 –> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: of the year, they’re playing on all cylinders. And if

458
00:25:20,480 –> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: when you know that, and you know you have that

459
00:25:22,720 –> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: in your locker room, it’s easy to keep coming back,

460
00:25:25,760 –> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: easy to do the protocol, easy to stay away from

461
00:25:28,440 –> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: your family and your friends for an entire season. All

462
00:25:31,200 –> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: of those commitments that everybody thinks it’s so difficult to do,

463
00:25:34,440 –> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: it becomes easy when you’re when you’re chasing something that’s

464
00:25:37,680 –> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: right within your reach, and that the cancer the Chiefs

465
00:25:41,480 –> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: when it comes down to and they know in their

466
00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: heart the only team, the only team in the NFL

467
00:25:47,040 –> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: that can stand between them and a championship is themselves.

468
00:25:51,680 –> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: Really interesting. This team, and I’ve said this, resilient, This

469
00:25:55,560 –> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: team is focused. This team has incredible a team work.

470
00:25:59,440 –> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: That’s how that one super Bowl fifty four that has

471
00:26:01,520 –> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: not changed in this twenty twenty season, even though it’s

472
00:26:04,240 –> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: been very difficult Raiders week. This week, I’ll say this

473
00:26:07,480 –> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: as we close too, if you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving,

474
00:26:10,920 –> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: the thing that condeed we’re able to train for any

475
00:26:12,680 –> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: team this year is the whole COVID thing. We’re going

476
00:26:15,600 –> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: into the holidays, it’s gonna be very difficult. We’re not

477
00:26:17,600 –> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to meet with families like we have

478
00:26:19,760 –> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: in the past. The only thing we’re gonna do. I

479
00:26:21,520 –> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: think we’re gonna have a zoom call with my dad.

480
00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Maybe do the dinner right with him. We’ll go on

481
00:26:24,640 –> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: to zoom call. We’re eating it. It’s like we’re eating

482
00:26:26,320 –> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: their person to person, but the whole wash your hands,

483
00:26:29,800 –> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: watch your distance, wear a mask, but just be really

484
00:26:32,560 –> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: wise and unselfish here. It’s the key to the Chiefs,

485
00:26:35,160 –> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: it’s the key to the other thirty one teams. Because

486
00:26:37,560 –> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: COVID we’ve seen it. They’ve derailed teams and Patriots are

487
00:26:40,320 –> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: scrambling because they had COVID issues earlier. That’s gonna be

488
00:26:44,160 –> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: a big, big deal here, especially coming into the holidays. Well,

489
00:26:47,760 –> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: going into the holidays, man, if you’re loaning you out there,

Speaker 1: you have a moment, say a prayer for those that

00:27:13,680 –> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: are a little bit less fortunate. Some of some of

498
00:27:15,560 –> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: those that don’t have the meal in front of them,

499
00:27:18,160 –> 00:27:19,720

500
00:27:20,240 –> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: ham and all the stuff and everything. There’s some out

Speaker 1: there that they have nothing. So before you take that
