Jeff Hathorne

I know he's everywhere now.

I don't know how that guy sleeps.

I'm not sure he does.

The aforementioned Keith Cosgrove has a relationship with him.

So he reached out to Pat and asked him if he would have interest.

And Pat could not have been more excited.

He was all in.

He said, absolutely, I will do this.

And it was a heavy lift.

There is a lot of script in this film because of the nature of it.

And he handled it so well.

eloquently so professionally and so perfectly pat you know he put his own touch on this that it it really felt authentic to him you know neil zender who's the co-producer and director on this yesterday said that you know anytime you hear the word yinzer that's pat he put that in there because that's what he felt should be in there so um he did a tremendous job and and i'll tell you what i've i've worked in sports for a long time we did a shoot with him on mount washington

Um, and I told him there's two, two athletes that I've dealt with in my career that handle things the way that he handles them.

It's him and it's Sidney Crosby.

And there were people that were on Mount Washington who were, you know, so excited to see him and he didn't wave and say, hi, he stood there for 15 minutes and talk to these people genuinely interested in them.

And, and that just captures the essence of Pittsburgh to me.

I was like, this, this guy is,

He is everywhere.

He is as popular as anybody in the world right now.

And he spent 15 minutes with these people asking them about what they're doing and who they are and seem to be genuinely interested.
