| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a bonus edition of the Hur Huddled chatty podcast. Now there are two reasons |
| 0:06.3 | why we're doing a bonus edition of Her Huddle this week. The first is there is an absolute |
| 0:11.2 | bumper week of NFL action on Sky because we've got the first of two back-to-back games in Germany. |
| 0:18.5 | And with that, we have welcomed, we already welcomed her actually |
| 0:21.7 | at the Spurs game a few weeks ago, but we have welcomed a brand new member to the Sky Sports |
| 0:26.0 | NFL crew. So myself and Phoebe straight away, we were like, Olivia Harlan Decker, |
| 0:32.2 | we still not sure. Olivia, we have to get you on her huddle. And Olivia, it is great to have you as part of the team. |
| 0:39.6 | First of all, the Girl Gang is growing, which makes us so happy. |
| 0:43.4 | And brilliant to have you with us as part of the crew. |
| 0:46.4 | Welcome to Sky Sports NFL officially and welcome to Her Huddle. |

| 1:25.6 | gigs because actually it's a sisterhood and it is so supportive and then we found that as well yeah absolutely i mean literally like the way |
| 1:33.6 | that hannah and i met and how we've been able to work like i learned so much from hannah and i think |
| 1:38.0 | that's a big part of it like we're all within an industry that we're so passionate about but there's |
| 1:43.1 | so much to learn and take from each other. |
| 1:46.3 | I know I said to Hannah, I was like, man, I need this kind of like assertive, you know, this is what |
| 1:51.3 | we're going to do, nature from you, Olivia. And like, you know, there's so much that we can learn |
