Speaker 1 (01:12):
And so on and so on and so and so
on and so on. Yeah, yeah, so TNF goes to
the Patriots. Nobody's surprised. Twenty seven to fourteen. Drake made
the easiest night of his NFL career. Every receiver is
wide open by five. Really, I'm going, how did the
Patriots only have twenty seven points? They're gonna watch the
film and go, yeah, I don't know, man, I felt
like he could have had forty very easily. How do

(01:33):
we not like there's something to that. It's not like
he made difficult throws.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And I'm just saying, this is one of those games where,
my goodness, the Jets were absolutely terrible defensively.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Now back a couple of hands and sacked ones, but
a lot of work over the middle of the field
with guys just running free. Stefan Diggs a big night
for him, and this is where route running and precision
and timing. Clearly they put in the work because he'd
just throw into a spot and he's staying.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I think it was more playing the Jets. I think
maybe the papers didn't even practice this week. Yeah we're good,
but hey, listen, we're great. Eight and two. Everybody take
the next three days off, but be there early on
Thursday so we can do some game plan stuff, right,
get there early, all right, great, see then, coach. But
it was fun fun off the jump, right, you take
the the opening kickoff and you go seventy four yards

(02:22):
and uh seemingly eighty four plays eight minutes go off
the clock, like touchdown.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Feels like yeah, here we go. It was. That was
the level of excitement, the script and the nonscript plays.
Just run for your life.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, no, I felt good for about eight minutes. It
was good though.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Minutes they had the football and then and then the
Patriots got the ball. Yeah they finished the first quarter. Yeah,
we didn't have two complete possessions for a quarter of footboom.
I'm surprised that game lasted as long as it did.
I'm like, wow, it's like running clock here. It's like
it's like like we advanced it and condense game team
after you hear NFL weekends, like I watched that in

(03:02):
thirty two minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
It was like watching watching the Patriots. And when when
the Jets had to play defense, like we're gonna have
a scrimmage, just gonna be the number one offense against
the backup defense, Like that's kind of what it looked like.
You know, I know we'll do worry, We'll have the
number one defense against the backup offense. Like it looked
like a high school scrimage where this is what we're
gonna do.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Do you take some solace in the fact that, even
though he scored three touchdowns, Henderson didn't break off a
big run.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
No, I take no solace in that. No solace there's
I was closed to saying there there is a there
is a quantum of solace here. TJ. Let's do Aaron
Glenn first before we get to my head. Yeah, let's
go pick two head coaches, first year, different directions entirely
Aaron Glenn. This should be his only year as head
coach of the Jets. It should be here that done

(03:46):
with a year. I mean, I was excited when they
got him. He's a culture guy, gonna bring in a culture,
gonna do all of these things, every aspect of the Jets,
except special teams, where we're pretty good special team. Okay,
pretty good special ties. No, that's still a third of
the game. Well, okay, game, it's there's offense, defense, especially

(04:07):
special teams. Is very small part. The number of times
are on the field is very small part. I tried
special teams is good? Right, Okay, okay. Everything Aaron Glenn
has touched since he has come in is worse than
it was before. Everything is offense. We're gonna come in
and sign Justin fields and we're gonna run an offense
that is straight out of the nineteen sixties of the NFL,

(04:28):
where we're not really gonna throw the football. We're gonna
try to run the football forty five times a game.
Tell me how that was gonna work, Right, it's gonna work.
Terror people laugh. And I said, he's gonna throw for
a thousand yards and run for a thousand yards this year. No,
that's what's happening. That's what's happening. He's got a thousand
yards passing every week. It's I don't know if he's
gonna get to one hundred yards passing.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We set the bar so low.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
You heard Aaron Glenn say after the game, did I
thought Justin did some good things to do through for
one hundred and fifteen yards. Man, this is twenty twenty
five in the NFL. You can't win this way and
this is an antiquated way. And this is how Aaron
Glenn thought, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna kick Aaron
Rodgers out and go with Justin Fields because I want
to run an offense and we haven't seen in the
NFL in almost sixty years. Defensively, it was a top

(05:11):
five unit. Not anymore. They can't stop anybody so much
so that Aaron Glenn has come in and they traded
away the two best defensive players and they're starting over.
They got draft picks coming in and the defense is bad.
He's a defensive coach. You'd expect it to be a
little bit of some sort of invigoration or the defense
is gonna play better. Look, Robert Sala came in. The job,

(05:33):
was too much in but I know the defense played better.
So at least you had that. There's nothing and I'm
not buying the philosophy and the attitude that, well, when
you come in, your coach, nude coach comes in, got
to create a culture. You rip everything down to the studs. Now,
the team was terrible the last two years, there should
be some sort of hey, we hit a little, we
hit rock bottom, and now we're coming up a little bit.

(05:55):
There's been none of that, right, So the offense is worse,
the defense is worse. They've played on this season. He
has a tough time with game management, not knowing when
to throw hail Mary's not knowing when to call timeouts,
and that's stunning in and of itself because it's not
his first day in the NFL, and the press conferences
are bad, all right, He's now he's antagonistic with the
media because rich Semini had the story that Garrett Wilson

(06:18):
was going to be out four weeks before he put
it out. Now, I'm going to be antagonistic with the
media about that. The entire job is too much for him.
All of it is, but mainly, and we talked about this,
that the job was too much for Aaron Glenn in
week two, when I'm dancing on the sideline when dude,
there's still two minutes left in the game. You didn't
win the game on that block field goal, run it
back for a score. You still need to defend two minutes.

(06:39):
You're dancing like the game is over, right, I told
you then it looked like the job was too much
for him. But now you get to the aspect of okay,
going forward. You have all these draft picks. It's an
offensive league. You're going to draft a quarterback. You got,
whether it's this year or that, you're going to find somebody.
You're going to move these draft picks around. Whether you
love Fernando Mendoza, Dante Moore, you wait, it's Hi Simpson.

(07:00):
Whatever it's gonna be, it's gonna be a quarterback. Aaron
Glenn can't be in charge of this. You need an
offensive minded head coach, Lincoln Riley. You need some kind
of offensive minded head coach to come in and be
the guy that Shepherd's in an era of the Jets
that's not embarrassing. So if you have a franchise quarterback,
guess what bringing an offensive coach? He gets it right.

(07:21):
It was a bad match with Aaron Rodgers and a
defensive head coach and Robert Sola, Right, these don't work.
These things don't work. Todd Bowles defensive head coach didn't work.
Jets need a quarterback, didn't work. Sam Dartle comes in
didn't work. You need somebody that is on the offensive
side of the ball. When you have a young quarterback
that you're trying to start things with. Aaron Glenn has
shown me no confidence he can get anything right. I'm

(07:43):
not gonna want to trust him after this year, when
we're clearly starting over and we need a quarterback. I
don't want him running for Nanda Mendoza's career. I don't
know that he knows how to do anything. And now
I'm gonna add quarterback to that plate. No, forget it, man.
I like Daron Glenn. He wanted to be there. He's
supposed to be a culture guy. But what do I see?
They're still committing bad penalties fifteen yard on sportsman like conduct,

(08:04):
penalties that are killing them. It's still happening. There's still
there's nothing better. There's nothing where I can hang my
hat on and say he's got this going on. No,
he doesn't have anything going on.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
We watched a couple of plays where they were called
for multiple illegal contact penalties on the same play on
opposite sides.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Both starting cornerbacks committing illegal contact penalties on the saie,
how do we do this?

Speaker 3 (08:30):
And just watching you know, pre snap penalties, you're still
creeping around the top ten. Discipline is not there. You
make the trade and get rid of a couple of
defensive star warts whether you love Sauce Gardener thought he
was descending, ascending if you put it to the Pro
Football Focus guys, they still held him up and wanted
him on the metal stand. Fine, decide where you're at

(08:51):
in that continuum. But you also had, you know, Williams
who didn't want to be there, So off he goes.
You demote another one of your starters. Like you have
all of these moving pieces on the defense that's not
giving up twenty seven points a game and not causing turnovers.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Right that we still don't have an interception, have one
turnover for a week eleven, we have not gotten an interception,
not one. That tells you how bad things I bet. Look,
you talked about the discipline, and it goes to a
point where look the rookie dB that they have and
that they like that's playing for Sauce Gardner allows a
big catch because he doesn't touch the fon Diggs when
he falls down, he gets up and runs other twelve yards.

(09:27):
You got to touch the gabasis. These are all things
that yeah, I mean, you're a defensive coach, you got
this is something that at least the players should be
listening to you on. And I know that Woody Johnson
really likes the guy, and I'm like, okay, and I
don't like Woody Johnson either, but man, you need somebody
to come in here that that's gonna say, hey, I
have the job is not too much. I'm not in
over my head has head cot That's the thing. You've
also stripped away a couple of guys who were proven players, right,

(09:51):
guys that have had some hardware and are decorated and
acknowledged at best of their position, and you ship them
out for draft picks to say let's go back and
draw again, or parlay those into an offensive player to
help lead things. Defensive coach fifteen years of the league,

(10:11):
I know there's sentimentality for the fact that he started
and played there. Again, we joked about it with the
rich Semini petulance. Rich Semini was there five and a
half to six years before Aaron Glenn.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Arrived as a player. Okay, he'll be there long after
he's deposed. The reality is you've got a guy who's
already bristling at any sort of criticism, and you're in
week eleven, right in his postgame comments going deep into
the we can't do that to Justin This is well,
you guys designed your offense and I get it. Garrett

(10:43):
Wilson isn't there. Your offensive line's not good enough to
get Breise Hall back to the line of scrimmage before
he's getting blasted, and Justin Fields is a take one
look and tuck the ball and run guy right eleven
carries tonight again. Great fantasy day if you started him
as a as a sleeper ninja kind of guy. Because

(11:04):
your guys hurt, someone else is stashing all the other
viable quarterbacks. Congratulations, you got a good fantasy day. But
it's it's untenable because your defense can't stop anybody. Like
there's just not any semblance of a consistent pass rush.
Drake May took a couple of hits and look very
uncomfortable doing so because he's he's not used to it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
He's not used to it.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
They've done a really good job for him thus far.
But for the Jets, it's it's now, all right, who
do you turn to? It's one in thirty two, so
you're gonna have people lining up at the door, But
who's the quarterback? Is there a quarterback that you love
in this class that you're gonna trade all these assets
for as well. Like that's another giant question of who

(11:48):
is that that guru that's gonna come in and fix
this thing, because there's a lot like there's there's really
nothing in the cupboard that you're overly excited about.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Right.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Brice Hall is a good running back. He didn't want
to be there. He prayed he was getting he would
get traded. He got left behind. He's the guy waving
on the edge of the island as the boats drifted away.
It's like, yeah, we're escaping whatever, King Kong, Godzilla, Dinosaurs, Piranha,
whatever it is that that's coming into giant sharks.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Everybody else getting away.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
He's stuck.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I mean really, it's it's it's a point where, yeah,
I get it, it's one, but one and done. I
mean you kind of have to do that. You kind
of have to move on and say, Okay, this is
the next level. You need an offensive mind and head
coach to come in and coach the rookies. And on
the other on the flip side of it, you got
Mike Rabel, who is the NFL coach of the Year
right now, and it's not even close because he's doing
less with more than the other great coaches, right, Shane

(12:45):
Stikeen's having a great year, and and and so is Sirianni.
There's seven and two, Like, there's lots of great guys
on it, but what he's he's doing so much more
with less. And you saw tonight, Hey, we're able to
find a way in a game where you don't play
our best, but we were able to get the miss
matches all the pre snap motion more pre snap motion tonight.
And Drake May is able to figure out exactly what

(13:05):
the Jets want to do defensively, Like there's a reason
why the Patriots are have this record. And I'll say
if I think they're overrated as their schedule, but Mike
Rabels his coach of the year.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, and without a doubt, far ahead of Stichen and
McDonald and others. And you talk about Drake Mass. Saw
a great clip of us Stefon Diggs in the post
game being asked about where they're at and he is deferential,
kind of talking about the sporting cast. It's pretty good.
But was asked pointedly about Drake Mass like he's doing
what he's being asked, right, And as a young quarterback,

(13:38):
not a lot of guys can come in and do that,
and he's got a good sporting cast. But he's doing
what coach is asking and we're executing, so we move forward.
Pretty impressive run for your Jets.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
They should just look over it.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
At the Giants, it's okay to keep resetting.

Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best

fourteen over the Jets. And there is nobody better to
talk to after every Thursday night football game than NFL
on Fox Insider Extraordinatory Jay Glazer. The only show he

(15:21):
joins on FSR every week is us. Got the chance
to talk to him earlier tonight TNF the reaction to
Brian Dable with the Giant Joe Burrow brock Purty returning, Jay,
how's it going, man, what's talk about it?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Well?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
As a Jet fan, I could be doing better, but however,
it's not like this was unexpected tonight for me, So
it's okay.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
As a Jets fan, you're doing how you normally are.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Although you gotta you should have seen him during that
possession in the in the red zone with about two
minutes left. I thought he broke his hand pounding the desk, Like,
how does he know is that where.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
You're holding off to? That really epitomizes I plight of
a gitt there.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, no, that's that's mine. That's my life day. That's
why it's going on.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I told you guys, and I know there're you know,
Jets just made always move for all his first round
draft picks and trying to change the culture. It cannot change,
and lest the owner changes, it cannot change and lest
the owner changes.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Now he's filed a grievance against the Players Association for
bad grades.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Man, he got so upset. I was out there few
years ago whatever it was, in camp and he did
some stuff that I'm not going to repeat, but it
was only it was like to get back at the players, like, dude,
are like fifth fifth grade here at the like in
the playground, like trying to get back to your bully life. Dude,

(16:44):
you're the owner. And he was so upset by some
of the grades he got that he yeah, he's it's
the cultures everything right. And you know you look at
some of these other teams, hey Washington and the Dan
Snyder the reason why they ever won the Browns. I mean,
this owner thinking about the first time they ever won.

(17:05):
Put this owner in was in COVID when nobody was
able to be in the building except for football people.
They couldn't have the culture in there, right And then
obviously would he They don't want them to the him.
And you know, I thought first hand that they have
told this year. But like Sean Payton when he went
down to the Saints, they had the worst culture. You know,
fans were wearing bags on their heads in it. No,

(17:27):
and Seawan all to really teach the owner how to
be an owner. And then mister Vencon became a phenomenal owner,
and Yale is a great owner. But it's like you
have to teach them how to be great owners and
help build football culture and get out of the way
of you know, not jump in. I told you, I
told owners as all, but several owners like you know,
would you hire the best football coaches in the NFL

(17:49):
to run your business? No, Jay, it's totally different. Okay,
then why do you think you can make a second
round pick?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Now, look now, the flip side of it, obviously, this
game is we talked about this a few minutes ago.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Mike Rabel is a coach of the year in the NFL.
What he's done in this short amount of time, Jay
has absolutely been stunning.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, they've done a great job, but you know, even look,
you know and Drake May. When Drake May was coming out,
there are a lot of teams they were nowhere near
sold on him. And I think you're talking about Mike
Rabel being coach of the year. Josh McDaniel's probably assistant
coach of the year is what he's been able to
do with Drake mayis he is certainly in the running

(18:32):
for m VT candidate. And and it's you could just
see the trajectory now. And look, some guys are not
head coaches, but they are amazing coordinators and always should
be in a position. Matangio right for the Eagles, Josh
McDaniels for the Patriots. He is a phenomenal coordinator and

(18:52):
clearly also a quarterback developer. Done a great job.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
It's pretty funny. I'm sitting next to Smith. We got
to do his jets him for his life. He's got
Marino into Brady into now Drake May. So he's he's
really happy as he watches this. But let's stay with
the coaching. Forget Josh Allen got Josh Josh Allen's there too,
but you know you didn't get his upset about him.
Drake May and having that Patriot Perry winkle On seemed

(19:18):
to flip, you, you know, to a whole other level.
Brian Dable out with the New York Football Giants. Kafka
is going to get the opportunity interim wise, a lot
of stories and fallout coming out of this one.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Jay, Yeah, you know, listen, this was the reason why
they did this came from ownership, not from Joe Shane Is,
John Maramas, Steve Tish. It was really all the the
comebacks that other team had in the fourth quarter, and
they're just like, man, we just can't keep doing the
same thing. I think Dabel knew I was texting of
them on a play and run after and you could

(19:53):
tell that, you know, he wasn't gonna be surprised if
it happened. But man, it's you know, and the to
talk talking about culture too. Giants have this culture. Remember
when when he and Joe Shane got hired, said listen,
you guys have to be careful with the owners, meaning
the Giants have this culture. Well like they're waiting for
the Scott of Fall all the time, and they have
this great history, but now it's just just how it's

(20:16):
been there in the last you know, decade. And plus
they're just waiting for the Scott of Hall and you're
gonna have to deal with this. Plus you're gonna have
a lot of people who say, you know, who've done
it one way a certainly certain amount of number of years.
You guys want to come in and change things, and
they're gonna go, hey, listen, guys, you just got it.
We've been doing this way for thirty five years, whatever
it is. And that was a big thing too. But yeah,

(20:36):
the job, but I'll say this though, the giants saw
is a terrific job because you got a quarterbacks, you
got to running back, you got a wide receiver, and
you've got culture because of those guys, now you suddenly
got an attitude right and defense man, you've got some
horses on defense. So I think that's a fantastic job
to get. And you know, I don't think they're gonna

(20:58):
I don't think they would go and try an experiment
with somebody and see if somebody can pan out. I
think they're gonna, you know, look for more of a
The sure thing is the is the worst. It's never
a short thing. But I think you know somebody with
a little more skin to the wolves.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Jake Lazer, our guest Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from
the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, just get some
quarterbacks who are coming back, potentially coming back. You had
the big scoop Thanksgiving ish for Joe Burrow. I think
that surprised a lot of people. But hey, that's great
news if it's Thanksgiving is for Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
By the way, you have that whole conversation between me
and I Kim Belt. Then he posted on Instagram him
in a him in a clown outfit. He was a joker.
Oh no, dude, you're telling me with this, do you
guys know how horrify I have a cloud? Yes right,
I'm like, bro, that is awful. Let me just start
talking and you know, I'll try to tell him about

(21:51):
Bernie OLiS And he's like, hey man, I'm I'm I
think I'm coming back here a lot. Sure, And I'm like,
what he's like Thanksgiving this? So I'm like, come on.
He's like, yeah, well, just I don't say anything yet.
I didn't say anything last Sunday. And it is amazing
because when he first went out, when you have a
grade three care he tour ligament tendon the sheet that

(22:13):
covers it all. And I know a lot of doctors
involved and had information and there's a lot of people
about this. They were like, man, there's no way before
the playoffs because of you know, everything starts on the
ground up. But also like that injury, it causes so

(22:33):
much pain. Look at pretty much ended Eddie George's career.
Charles Woodson, who had it like in ninety seven or something,
he told me, man, I'm still not over it, like
it still gets them. And you know, I think you know,
doctors are like, look, it may feel but because of it,
thing starts on the ground up, you're always going to
have that pain. But Joe's different and he's like, I

(22:54):
understand it. I'm able to deal with the pain and
come back that fast. And it's interesting because he has
the grade three and here brock Party has a grade one,
and it's almost like harder for Party because grade three
at least you know, Okay, we're gonna cut it, we're
gonna do this, we're gonna we know how to handle this.
And this is. You know, they gave him a conservative timeline.
We're Grade one. You don't do anything to it. He's

(23:15):
gotta wait for it to feel better. But as I said,
it doesn't feel better until the off season. Like you
just you can't get it to feel better because you're
never every step of your life, you're putting pressure on
that bige.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, that's the great a sorry Jay, Yeah, the Brock
the Brock party injury right when you say toe injury
and now he comes back. Mac Jones played some pretty
good football, but they're gonna get Purdy and Ricky Piersoll back.
It looks like trying to make some noise there in
the crowded NFC West.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, but it's the again, it's a big toe. You know.
It's talking of you know Linsey Kyle about it also,
and I'm like, guys, he's gonna feel this way the
whole year, like it's never gotting. It's not gonna get
better until the offseason. So it's like, you know, I
think both those guys that that injury a lot of us.
Hey deal with that pain and how much time you

(24:08):
deal with It's it's that's a hard one. That's a
really but the injury doesn't do it justice. Turf toe
does not do it justice. You should be called most
painful injury in football. But Joe burrow Man, what a
gangster come back all these and he al said it
of depends who we are, you know, in their in

(24:29):
their playoffs for sure, but man, he is a He's
an impressive cat to come back from that several several
months and we're talking months early. This isn't like he's
coming back three weeks early. This is several months early, now.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Jay, before you let you go, obviously this week Veterans Day,
commemorating it. On Tuesday, you had an incredible post on
social media Monday mental health motivation Monday, courtesy of you
and Rondez Barber. Can you tell a little bit of
that story?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Great?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh today you post that, Okay, I thought it was Yes,
I'm not looking because you know Twitter, I'm trying to
do the show and talk to you. The same time
you had an incredible post here that I saw about
you and Rhnde Barber and tell us a little about
that story. And I mean, it's just it's just amazing
you went into detail on this.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
You know, Look, the Marshawn Neeland thing my message, and
I you know, even talking to team is like man,
lean into your teammates. Lean into your teammates, and your
teammates don't know to be there for you unless we
open up to them and they want to be there
for you. So well, before I ever wrote a book
about my depressing anxiety, my mental health issues, way before

(25:35):
I talked about it publicly five years ago, I was
in a dark, bad place and like I would, I
would never commit suicide, guys, because I'm not going to
do that to my son and my wife and you guys.
It's the decision I've made, right, It's just I'm not
going to do it. I don't want to leave you
guys with that pain. But I was so dark where

(25:57):
I was just hoping tomorrow wouldn't come, and I never
talked to anybody in so much detail. I was going
down to Tampa Pursuer Bowl and Renne Barber, who's been
I've been so close with he and Tgu's life. Sometimes
I feel like I'm the third Barber. I realize we're
that close, and I have a group down there to friends.

(26:21):
He's friends have been helped fun and Brian Radagan, I
said guys. I'm coming down tomorrow, man, I need to
look over you guys and talk to you guys. And
they have dinner and they were all busy and they
said that we can't. I said, no, I need to
meet with you guys. I am struggling, and all three
are like seven o'clock, we got you, and that we
got you changed my life. Like they were like, I

(26:42):
got you, dude, I got you. So I was always
a trade ever telling anybody, that's the first time I
did it, and they literally they dropped everything and I
got you. The power of I got you huge and
clearly it's changed my life because those guys are wingle
to help me. I then got the help I needed.
I opened up to other people about it and ended
up writing a book. And you know, it's just that
power of vulnerability. I never realized how strong it was

(27:05):
until then, but those guys didn't blink. So for everybody
out there, I want you to understand, people want to
be there for you. They want to be a service.
But it's on us to tell you when we're struggling.
But it's on you also to hear us when we
say that and lift us up because trust me, at
some point that favor is going to be returned. But
that's what you gotta do, man, You got to It's

(27:26):
the power. I call myur teammates, and these teammates, these
bonds now, they were there for me, right, but des
the type of bond now, I'll be there from them now,
five years, ten years, twenty five years, forty years, I'll
be there from them forever. And that's what we need
to do for each other, especially as this world gets
scary and scarier. Lean into your teammates.
