| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome on into the wolverine.com podcast. Clayton Safi here with a couple of special guests, |
| 0:07.6 | Mikasov, is the founder of Yoke Gaming and subsequently the Ann Arbor NIL Club. |
| 0:14.3 | And Mike Morris, as everybody knows, senior edge rusher on the Michigan football team standout |
| 0:20.1 | defender, leader of this team. |
| 0:23.5 | We'll talk to him a little bit about some football stuff, what they're doing NIL-wise, |
| 0:27.5 | and also Mick as well. |
| 0:29.4 | And Mick, I guess we'll start with you. |
| 0:32.0 | Yoke gaming, then you guys have these clubs all around the country, kind of digital communities |
| 0:37.3 | where you're connecting the fans with the country, kind of digital communities where you're |

| 1:26.5 | already joined their community. They have an |

| 1:32.8 | we'll get other sports involved here pretty soon. But I think, you know, Mike and those guys are |
| 1:37.7 | off to a really great start building their community. Mike, from a player's perspective, |
