00:00One of the things Rick that I was struck by was you talking about because we had you know, we're media members

00:05We try to envision when the Bears tell us there's gonna be all these people involved in the interview from the Bears side

00:10It's gonna be so many different windows of a say a zoom call or something

00:14But the way you laid it out

00:15You said the first thing that happened was a one-on-one with Ryan poles and Ben Johnson and they kind of got in got out

00:21And they felt very comfortable with each other

00:24Is that to say that that was the the onus for him wanting to take that job

00:29Before talking even to George McCaskill Kevin Warren and the rest of the game because I always said hey they both were at BC

00:35They're the same age. Basically, there's gonna be an easy

00:39Relatability just from that angle

00:41Yeah, so I don't want to blow Dan Bernstein's mind right now. Yeah do that, please

00:49This is the best process I've seen in a heck of a long time from any team in the national football

00:54Wow, how about all right, how about it because they were here's what they did, you know, and and and

01:14Only do it virtually

01:16Was was absolutely fantastic and it's the only team that does something like that

01:21Then they moved into their group process and that group was very small

01:25It was it was George McCaskill. It was Kevin Warren. It was Ted Cruz

01:30It was Ryan Poles and it was Jeff King. That's it. Oh, so Liz Geist wasn't on that initial interview. Oh

01:52If you were a tree in the forest, what tree would you be?

01:55This is not the combine is what you're saying

02:01Now they just talked ball man and and

02:05Envision in alignment and and then it's concluded with a one-on-one with Georgian and and Kevin

02:12To so that there was that same comfort, you know, can they get comfortable with each other etc
