00:00Let's start with the gold pants. We were kind of playing a game. I think it's just a cool
00:05step to bring something back that fans enjoy, but there will be rampant speculation about
00:12what the gold pants means by keyboard conspiracy theorists. What, if anything, have you heard
00:20of a reaction and what are you expecting to hear?
00:25I mean, so far I haven't seen a whole lot. And from what I have seen, it's been mostly
00:30positive. It does seem like the gold pants are generally, correct me if I'm wrong, you
00:34know, the history of this team much more than I do, but it does seem like fans have been
00:39mobbing for a return of the gold pants for quite some time. So it doesn't really surprise
00:46me given what ownership has said from day one. And this was, I was told this was like
00:50a full team decision. Wasn't made by any one person, but you know, they, they have
00:57talked about some of, you know, a lot of their own nostalgia with the team and going to games
01:03at RFK stadium as fans and you know, what they remember seeing and how they want to
01:08kind of bring the franchise back to where it was in its heyday. And you know, that doesn't
01:13mean changing its name or, you know, bringing back a controversial name or logo or anything
01:20of that nature, but it does mean they would probably look to find ways like this to,
01:25to kind of draw from its history. So I, I like it. I think it's a good way to do it.
01:32I would suspect it's not the last, you know, tweak to a uniform that they make. Now there
01:38are NFL rules on how many big changes you can. Yeah. The fact that they're a brand new
01:46ownership team gives them a little bit more leeway than most other teams. So yeah, I mean,
01:53I think it's a positive thing. I haven't seen too many wild conspiracy theories, so I'm
01:58sure they're coming. Oh, they're coming. Yeah. They're definitely coming. It's positive.
02:02It's a easy, small step to, is one of the things that I think kind of gets forgotten
02:07like, Hey, people like these, why not bring them back?
