00:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's spoken. I mean, it's not a whole ton of English, but you know,

00:04 it's enough to get by and you know, when you know, there is a conversation to be had, then

00:09 one of the guys that speaks, you know, fluent Spanish will come over and translate a little

00:12 bit. So it's important because on the field, we're gonna have to communicate, you know

00:16 what I mean? So now he's been great about it. You can tell he's really, he's really

00:20 trying. He's had a great attitude. You know, very positive, talks to everybody. You know,

00:27 it's nobody really knew what to expect, but he's been, he's been an absolute joy to work

00:32 with so far. So that's, that's been good. Then as far as, you know, kind of the MLS

00:38 and stuff like that, I think everybody that comes needs an adjustment period. You know,

00:42 I don't think there's been one person that has been able to hop in and been like, oh,

00:45 this is exactly, you know, how it is over in Europe. So, you know, I'm sure there'll

00:49 be a bit of an adjustment period, but you know, really anywhere you go, you have to

00:54 adjust to something so I'm sure he'll be fine.
