00:00Okay, that's cool. All right, let's talk about you as an on-air analyst. And this is what we led with Roberto Castro joining the media world. So first off, talk about, you know, how this came about, how excited you are, and what exactly you think your role will be for season two?
00:17Good question. I mean, you know, I'm super fortunate to have a full-time gig at CapTech. We have a really strong sports practice, data and technology. We're working in golf, we're working in racing. We are really specialized in competitive scoring systems, pushing the boundaries with some new AI tools across those sports, starting to work a little bit in professional football, which is awesome.
00:41And then, you know, but being involved the whole time here, I think season one was awesome. Matt Berry's the best, but it's like, just that little bit of golfer angle or a little bit of that strategy angle, you know, could be additive. And just having spent so much time in there, and seeing the game up close and personal, I think it made it a great fit. So I'm super excited.
01:06But we did some rehearsals this week. And I mean, honestly, Smiley, I have been on a million golf courses. And I know that when you do what you do, like, it's really hard at first, right? Like, it's a totally different deal. Like, we've talked about it, right? You don't talk for 30 minutes, and then it's like, Smiley, give me two lines and be impactful. But you've spent a lot of time on a golf course, right?
01:28Like, yeah, this environment at TGL is just completely different. It's like sensory over there's lights, there's music, there's screens, there's like, I wasn't sure at first, should I watch the big screen? Should I watch the monitor? Should I watch?
01:41You don't know where your eyes need to go.
01:43Exactly. And I think once I got settled there, I felt a lot better. But I think that's kind of the unique thing. I was able to get settled pretty quickly, because I know I've spent, you know, hundreds of hours in that environment. Whereas I think even the most talented, you know, broadcasters, and there's, there's tons of them, way more talented than I am, I think it'd be a little bit of a longer learning curve, because it's like being dropped on the moon, right? It's, it's a totally crazy place.
