[7:43] Speaker 4: learn my uh learn Spanish better, it's just to go there,
[7:47] Speaker 4: and uh that's the best easiest way to learn.
[7:50] Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I must be. Yeah, when I started
[7:57] Speaker 2: Steelers and make it cave back. U who got in
[8:02] Speaker 2: in Christian Stadium? Is that I am Pittsburgh.

[8:23] Speaker 4: I feel like it's a grab ortunity and I didn't
[8:26] Speaker 4: really know how much uh tradition or history, especially with
[8:31] Speaker 4: the Mexican culture, with the with the fan base here
[8:33] Speaker 4: with the Steelers, and uh, now that I know that,
[8:36] Speaker 4: I mean it's pretty cool to know that. And uh,
