Yeah, so with us being here and being in your culture and implementing in community events, what does that impact mean to you guys being down under and we're coming all the way from the United States?
66:43
Well, I need to draw a line right between Australia and New Zealand first because we're Kiwis or New Zealanders.
66:48
So we're on indigenous land at the moment, the Aboriginal land, if we're going to talk that deep.
66:53
But what it is for us is there's a, I guess it's, there's a feeling for me personally, who's loved the NFL for more than 30 odd years now.
67:03
For me, it is, it's almost like a, a thank you from the league to be able to be so close to home, to be able to, you know, everything's tangible.
67:11
You can touch it.
67:11
The players are here.
69:46
To you, what has that faithful fan base been like? What have you experienced personally of these faithful fan base? And is there some similarity that they all have together?
90:14
What was the highlight for the week?
90:16
Yeah, it's going to be one of those things where I don't actually will – I won't be able to give you the highlight until I've actually – come back home and had some time to let it marinate.
90:27
Um, yeah, like you've mentioned, I thought it was pretty crazy to be on the same red carpet as, as Jerry Jones.
90:33
I mean, not that I'm a fan of Jerry Jones or what he stands for, but just the idea that here's a little old me, um, uh, and, and I'm standing next to a guy that's worth 19 and a half billion dollars, um, and owns the Dallas Cowboys, like just to be in the same space as him was, was pretty incredible.
90:50
Our pro ball experience was nuts.
90:52
We basically, we don't know how, but we ended up on the field and here we were getting photos with some of the biggest stars in the NFL.
90:59
Just stuff that I, you know, I, I don't, I'm not ashamed to say it.
92:44
would you love to see something like that here? Could we recreate something, not at Super Bowl level, of course, I mean, it's a global phenomenon, but wouldn't you love an event day like that for one of our sports to have? It's grand final day, whatever the tournament, whatever the sport, just a day that draws people in like Super Bowl does?
