SPEAKER_00: That's my that was my sport.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: And my dad was my coach, and you know, like it's all we did all the time, and so you think, oh yeah, I know how to play baseball, and so softball, and so I'm up to bat, I hit a ball, and so now I realize, oh shit, I gotta run to first base, and I have to run fast, as fast as I can do it.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: And at the time, so I just took off running, and in the middle of it, I realized I haven't run in decades, I don't know how to do this, and I I ran and my body didn't know how to do it, and I I got kind of confused.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: Like, am I supposed to tip forward?
5:29
SPEAKER_00: Do I just run straight, you know, and I touched first base and I fell over.
