Merrill, let me ask you this question.

0:11.0

Sure.

So when you, the last time you and I spoke on WBCB, you talked about your process and you just talked about that, like leading up to a game.

0:20.0

Day of the game you get

0:21.9

the stadium with the club take let's go to green bay yesterday what do you do when you got there

0:26.1

what's your process to get ready for the game on game day well first we arrived and we went in the

0:30.8

media entrance and then we took an elevator up to the seventh floor and then we walked 180

on a concrete floor, so that this morning when I got home and I got into bed, I had shin splints.

1:40.0

Arrowhead.

1:40.9

Didn't know that.

1:41.3

And we don't like that.

1:43.0

We really don't like that. You feel detached. You get the crowd noise from a crowd mic, but it's not the same. You want to be out there no matter how hold. I know the first year that we did the games, we were someplace, and they had the windows that could go up and down. It was cold. Mike said, let's shut the windows. I said, no.
