00:00Well, co-owner and such, whatever, but very excited of course, and the opportunity arose
00:03to sponsor the Jets as well, which I've grabbed with both hands. But look, very excited to be
00:08involved for the first time in actual ownership of a sporting franchise. I couldn't think of a
00:11better one than Newcastle Jets. Did you ever see this happening in your wildest dreams?
00:16Oh, kind of. I think it's something that's played in the back of my mind for some time. Justin
00:20Pascoe, who's my business partner and I, we worked together, of course, at the West Tigers,
00:24chair and CEO. And then when we finished up with the West Tigers last year, we thought,
00:27well, we should do something that combines our limited talents and our great interests.
00:32And one of that was, of course, sports investment.
