  Speaker 1: Well, we would like to get it all over ourselves, Rick,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: but you got to answer your phone first, Bud, so
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we shall see. Ashley is trying hard to get in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: touch with him. He has not answered up to this point,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: which could be a bit of an issue because they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: didn't have anything else playing for this.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Although he is not Okay, that's fine whatever.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I did have one thing that you and I can
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have a conversation about, and if he calls back, fine,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: so be it. And it's good to have without Chuck here,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: because I know he would he would poo poo on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this idea. And ultimately, by the way, thank you for breakfast, Chuck.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Chuck got us bought some booze and an Uber Eats
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: gift card each one of us.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You got a bottle of wine.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I got a bottle of Woodenville whiskey, and then he
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: got us each a gift card to Uber Eats, which
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Ashley just broke into hers for for us. So I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: just had a crunch trap on Chuck. So thanks Chuck,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you Chuck.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: He meant to say, though, was we had taco time?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah? We did that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, that's what I meant to say. Yeah, yeah, Well,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: crunch wrap from Taco time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I think they call it a crispy beef buried Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, so good. I love it so much. Get
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it all over you.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, obviously, if we have Rick Neuheiseelan, I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was going to have him, you know, give us what
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: he thought about this last weekend's games, which were different.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: There's two of them that were very exciting to fairly
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: evenly matched teams, with the Miami Texas A and M
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: game and the Alabama Oklahoma game both good games, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: then the two with the two other teams that the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: two others, James Madison pretty much got whooped by Oregon
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and they held tough against the second and third stringers
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in the second half, but it was not much of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a matchup. And that was even worse than the Old
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: miss against Tulane game. And yet it's the idea of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I hear people arguing whether or not these
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: group of five teams should be in right, and it's like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: as a former nai A Baseball player, where we didn't
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: get to compete in the College Baseball World Series. We
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: compete in the nai World Baseball World Series, but that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: was different. And yet I'll go to my grave saying
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that I think we would have been competitive if not
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: beat the team it was LSU at the time that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: won it. The year that we won the national championship,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I would have loved to have gone up against them,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and I think that it would have been It would
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: have been a cool game. Now, baseball football were completely
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: different ball games. I understand that, and yet I don't
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: want to make it, not because of the legal stuff
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that Hugh breaks down, right, the legal part of you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have to give these teams a chance or you're just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: playing too much, you know, too many favoritism, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: like you don't have a chance.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Sorry, you have your own thing. And I don't think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I think giving them an opportunity, if they have an
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: outstanding season, then they should maybe get into it. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: yet this past year like this year, and I understand
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the argument of it doesn't matter how big you make
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the tournament, there's always going to be somebody left out.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And yet, yeah, I understand that, and I don't want
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to get to sixty four teams like March Madness. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: think that's excuse me. I think that would be a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bit excessive. And yet the idea of still keeping two
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: spots open for group of five teams. So let's just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: say this year it still is James Madison and Tulane. Okay,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you guys, you know kick button the sun Belt in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the American Conference, and so you guys are going to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: earn your spot. But if you expanded it just to sixteen,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: so really it would be fourteen teams, the cutoff there
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is basically Notre Dame, BYU, Texas and Vanderbilt would have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: gotten in, right, Utah, USC and Arizona would be the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: first few teams outta.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Any of them had a legitimate argument on there.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: No Utah ends up going ten and two.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So it's like, Okay, it's not a bad season and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you really only lost to Texas Tech and BYU. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: so that's where your kind of argument would come from, right,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is if you had it expanded to sixteen, where you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: still had two teams that get in from the group five,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to have some argument there, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be the same argument as Notre Dame,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: as BYU b YU lost two games just to Texas Tech.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's all that we saw throughout the course of the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: season as they were better and everybody they stepped on
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the field with with the exception of that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Team, yep, one team.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Texas lost three.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But they play in the SEC, and they were playing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: good football at the end of the year, and they're
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a legit. I mean, they end up winning there, they
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: end up winning their conference, or they end up they
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: end up beating a couple of good teams down the stretch.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I think Texas is one that deserves to being in,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and then Vanderbilt is one of those you typically don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: expect them to be that good, and they have the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: best season they've had in forever and they still are
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. I just think there's room
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for expansion, right, we talked about it was yesterday, back
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in the day when it was just some voting. You
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just voted on stuff, and all of a sudden you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: get to write off into the sunset as a national
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: champion or not. And Hugh expresses the idea of the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: one with them in BYU and that it was the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: closest ever the voting comes down to just a few
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: guys basically saying I picked that team versus that team,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and that whole entire program, the every person on that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: team gets to either be a national championship or doesn't,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just based on voting. And I don't agree with most
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of the voting that goes on, whether it's Pro Bowls
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: or Manager of the Year or AO MVPs. I don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: think that it's I just don't think it's a fool
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: proof way of achieving something or getting something is based
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on voting.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So it used to be garbage the way that they
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Then you have the BCS where you institute some computer
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: stuff into it. Right now, you're taking analytics in data
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to pick it by that way. Then
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you all of a sudden have a couple teams that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just get to play for it based on the BCS.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Then you finally expand it to four teams that was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: much better, were making progress.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now twelve teams, And.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I get Chuck's opinion is, let's just let this thing
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: marinate for a bit, you know what I mean.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It's way better than.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It was, but it doesn't I don't feel like you're
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you're definitely up messing with tradition by switching from twelve
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: teams to sexy team.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: So college football doesn't give a rats behind about tradition.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Clearly by the way to college football is going these
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: days a.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Hundred percent with that, and it just I want to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: see the best teams competing, and I also want teams
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to have a chance.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting because I think with this, with this
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: whole college football playoff thing, I would tend to lean
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: more in the camp of what Chuck is saying in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: terms of like, Okay, well let's just get through the
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: twelve and see how it goes, because it does seem
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: like everything in college football is gung ho, and then
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: we'll reel it back and try to figure out how
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: to fix it. So it does, at least in this situation,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: it seems like, well, at least they're taking it step
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: by step. But then at the same time, you look
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: at this year and they're already talking about expanding it
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: to sixteen, and they were talking about that before they'd
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: even picked the field of twelve, so they didn't really
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: even know what controversies there might or might not be.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So I do think they tend to get ahead of themselves.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: So at least in this sense, they're maybe trying to
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: be a little bit smarter than most of the rest
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: of college football and what they're dealing with.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and I hear you.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm typically one that's going to kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: drag my feet not towards progression or you know, I'm
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: not one that's against things progressing and moving in a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: positive direction.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just one like that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I'm typically a little bit slower because I actually want
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: things to play out and see how it looks and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: see how it works. I just don't see the negative side, right,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I mean the positive side is you you just add
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: more games now, more games of meaning.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: The idea of getting rid of the underdogs, the Boise
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: States or you know, the Two Lanes or the James
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Ma The idea of giving them no chance, say sorry, guys,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you're just not worthy of it, I think is wrong.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that would be fair to not
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: give those teams a chance.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Well, what's one of the most exciting games that we've
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: seen in the in the last twenty years Boise State Oklahoma.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and so you take away those the chance
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: for those and I know it's not very often, right,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: but that game was awesome, right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: It was Jared Sabaranski's kid from Hermison Oregon was.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: A quarterback there, You're right, didn't know he didn't get engaged.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: It was the running back then engaged.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Right, Yes, but yeah, he's a I'm with you, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I want the opportunity, and you're going to have more
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of those, I think over the course of time. Now,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it's just not going to happen very often. But then again,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: let's say that it was usc that has to go
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: play Indiana. The chance of them beating in Indiana a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: sixteen seed beating a one seed, if there's no buyes,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: if you were to go that route with the bracket,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it's not likely, but it's more likely than JMU beating them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent on. But if you earn the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: number one, or the number two, or the three or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the four spot, and if there's no buys like there
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is now, if you expanded sixteen, you should get a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: somewhat of an easier first game.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing as you get the top seeds.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: The number two will in the NFL will host the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: number seven. Now, the difference between number two and the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: NFL number seven is far different than number two and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: number twenty six or you know, seventeen, whoever it is
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that is a group of five team that gets into
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it because we're trying to play fair and square. I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's not a participation trophy, it's you earned it by
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: kicking ass on your schedule, the conference that you play in.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Those players have no control over who they are scheduled
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to play, but they had control over going out there
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and taking care of their business. And so to me,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I want to give those guys a little bit of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a chance. And if all of a sudden, Indiana and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Ohio State this year would get a cupcake of a game, Okay,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: well kind of deserved one. Is been the perennial best
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: team in the in the country for the last couple
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of years.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Indiana crept up last year and said hey, we're a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. And this year overcame the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: team that looked dominant in Ohio State. They've earned getting
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: an easier first round game. Now first round game, you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: still it's you still got a ways to go to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: end up getting to the national championship. To me, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: think there's a way in which I know there's logistics
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: when teams start playing when you want the season to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: be over, by how meaningful you get rid of the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: conference championship games. You just basically play your your regular
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: season to get ranked, and all of a sudden. The
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: thing that I liked the most about the expansion of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the college football playoffs to twelve teams is you no
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: longer had that feeling of, oh, I lost when I'm out,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: because even when it was four, you felt like, boy,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if if I didn't, if I'm not in the SEC
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and I lost a game, I'm out of the college
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: football Playoffs. I mean that that just isn't You can't
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: expect a team to be perfect and unless they're in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the SEC, and then the SEC, it's like, well, you
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: lost to Georgia, that's only like a half a loss.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You're still gonna make it if you run the table
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the rest of the way. That's not fair in any way,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: shape or form. So now they expand it to twelve,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you've kind of fixed that problem. But you have, without
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a doubt, left legitimately good teams. I would say Texas
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and Notre Dame for sure, BYU maybe in the same boat,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: but a little bit less than and Vanderbilt simply because
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt ten and two playing in the SEC. They I mean,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: this was their Cinderella moment. This was their look at
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what we did this year, and then they're on the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: outside looking in to me, I think you can there's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a legitimate argument that they should be able to have
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a chance to kind of see if they can shock
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the world to some degree. Now they would have to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: go play against a Georgia or an Oregon or a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Well, that's an uphill about you might be
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: one and done and yet you got a chance versus
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: them just sitting there. There's a couple of hundred guys.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: If you just take the teams that feel like they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: maybe could have made it and should have made it,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that are gonna go their entire life and they're gonna
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: be talking to people around a campfire or sitting at
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a party somewhere and saying, yeah, we got screwed, we
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: got screwed. We didn't get a chance to go compete, right,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and then they're gonna have to kind of live with
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that for the rest of their life. I think there's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a way where you don't have to have that, And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: if you do, it's so far down the list that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the argument against you making it Michigan. Yeah, the argument
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: against Virginia making it the argument against Houston or whoever.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I always the extra people that are left out of
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the March Badness Tournament, right, Sorry, if you're the seventieth
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: best team in the country, but no, you don't deserve
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: a spot in the tournament.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I would just I mean, it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: where I would go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm not typically one that's just quick to, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: throw something away and let's try something new. I'm almost
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: always am I one like, I think we should see
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: how this thing planned hands out. I just in this situation,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I just don't see the negative in it. I don't
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: see adding four more teams to the mix as a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: big deal.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: No, and I would agree I don't see that either.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I just think the only thing that the only problem
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I have and why I say I side with where
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Chuck is coming from, like let's see it through. Is
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: at least get through the season you're in with the
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: decision you made before you start thinking about adding it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And once you've done the selection show and then you
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: see the people that are left out and you see
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: how the controversy. Okay, well, now how can we avoid
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that or fix that for next year, or how can
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: we ramp that up. How can we adjust all of
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: those things? You've gone through the first round of games,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you can now see, how does that play out? I mean,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: do I think it would have been Yeah, better to
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: see Notre Dame and by you in there playing some
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: better competition. Yeah, that would have been great versus seeing blowouts.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: But you're still gonna see blowouts regardless of who you're
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: letting in.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: So I do think sixteen is probably gonna be the
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: sweet spot. That's where.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I don't think that they should go above that at all.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I would like to see them do it next year.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: But I do think they were right in at least
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: taking the step to go to the twelve first.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, well, yeah, I'm fine with that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they would have jumped straight to sixteen,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: there would, without a doubt be a thought of could
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you have seen what twelve was about?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And ultimately we are seeing what it's about, and it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: going to be great. I mean, it's going to be fine.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think that the to me, when I hear
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: people get real loud and real boisterous about this is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just garbage.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The whole thing is a joke.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: The college football is a joke because JMU and Tulane
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: couldn't compete with the teams they played. It's like, okay,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: well just take that out of the equation for a second.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: You still have ten really good football teams.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, Alabama got blown out by Georgia and the
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: conference championship.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: So was that a joke?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, it's true. Yeah, And well it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Don't just happen when a small team plays a bigger team.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Right yeah. So true.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And yet it's to me, I like where we're at,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And yet I don't think I have a hard time
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: recognizing that there's a giant negative on the backside of it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I just don't get that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I don't see it as as like, well, you really
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just diluted the product, right, I mean I get that, sure,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and the idea of well there's always going to be
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it because I want to appease Notre dame.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Notre dame.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You you you think you're holier than now literally that
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be in a conference.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well you if you stick to your.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Guns with that, you're going to have an uphill battle
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: because they are going to take that into account. They're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: going to take it into account that, Well, you're not
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: scheduling a whole bunch of tough teams and the team
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that you did Miami, they beat you, and we're giving
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: them the nod if you're because you're going to be
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: on the outside the idea that they have to go
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: eleven and one to make it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've chosen that pass.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: That's what the smaller teams, the smaller conferences have to do.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: So undefeated, one loss, ye should be treated like that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, and so I just don't I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: don't fully understand where the upheaval is. I'm not trying
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to make it to where Notre Dame Texas feel that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they didn't get snubbed because I understand that somebody is
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: going to be on the bubble and be on the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: out when they think they should be in, because the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: criteria changes once you no matter where you draw the line,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be somebody left out and they're gonna feel like, well,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: compared to that team, Okay, well, Utah, you can say that,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: but you didn't have a bunch of You didn't have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Utah. You're thinking, okay that you had
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the same record as Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt gets any you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: don't okay, did you play the.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Same teams that Vanderbilt played? No, you didn't. That just
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: there you go to me.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It makes it to where that bubble conversation is way
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: more cut and dry. And even though it won't be
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: cut and dry because humans and they have rooting interests
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and they they're gonna think that their favoritism being played.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's better than robots picking it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And and I think that it's a it's the way
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in which you can get the close tournament of having
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: all the teams that legitimately could come out on the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: other side as the national championship and deservingly so.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, maybe it's something they'll end up doing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised simply because the NCAA's be like, wait,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: more money, more teams, more money. Yeah, we're gonna go
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: ahead and do that. Whether they're doing it for the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: right reasons or not, anyway, who knows. We're gonna come
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: back after this, and then I'm gonna give Ashley one
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: more chance to ask Santa for something. I'm gonna end
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: up having a conversation with Santa later on today on
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: my way home, and so this is gonna be Astley's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: last time to ask him for what she wants for
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the Mariners right here at Sports Radio ninety three point
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: three KGRFM. Merry Christmas, everybody out there, thanks for joining
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the show. We got a couple more segments here, but
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: this is our last one before Christmas to ask for
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: what you want. I mean, I might. I used to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: circle everything in the calendar or the catalog. Excuse me
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that when my mom would be like, all right, circle
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: what you want and you go to the toy section, obviously,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and I circled everything, and yet my Mom's like, you
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: know that Santa can't give you everything, right, And of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: course I know that, and yet Santa typically did get
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: me something. And so I'm wondering, Ash, if this is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: your final time from your mouth to Santa's ears that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you get to ask him for something, you can go
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: ahead and ask for something big. Maybe you ask for
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: something big, Maybe ask for something in the middle, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: maybe ask for something you feel is more Mariner esque, right,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and more something that Santa Mariner Santa would would be actually.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Willing to give you. What do you want right now?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: For Christmas?
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I think I think I'm gonna have to ask for
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Gino Suarez.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'd like to have him back.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be the team that keeps that
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: has him and then lets him go and then he
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: does well, and then brings him back, and then lets
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: him go and then he does well and then wants.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: To bring him back again.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: So I know he didn't do very well for us
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: batting wise while he was here, but he obviously had
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: a really good season. It just didn't translate once he
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: got here. I don't think that that would be the
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: case next year, So I would like to give him
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: another full season and see what he can do. Plus,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I think his energy that he brings is really valuable
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: to this team, and I know that he is very
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: well loved by everyone in the clubhouse.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yep, I'm with you. I mean, I think that the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: power numbers. You know, it's a couple of years ago
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: when they were getting when they moved on from him,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: where they were thinking, okay, too many strikeouts and it's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: just a matter of time until he kind of falls
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: off right where it's just even more of a strikeout
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: or nothing guy, and maybe the home runs dip because
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you hit fifty homers, you can strike out
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a bunch. If you hit twenty two homers and hit
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: two hundred and strike out, you know, two times a game,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that's not as useful.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't mind Gino at a you know, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: don't know, Oh, thirteen fourteen million dollars a year for
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: a couple of years.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing I'm not gonna worry about.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna worry that the Mariners are going to
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: overpay him to keep him, because the Mariners don't overpay people.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: So that when I yeah, so people are like, oh,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: we don't want to overpay. I don't want anyone to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: overpay him.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: How about this one for you, Here's one's a tug
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: at your heart a little bit, Gino. Regardless of what
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the money is, Gino, you love him and he brings
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: something to the table on the field, off the field,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: in the clubhouse or Bregman. Now, obviously you're spending way
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: more Bregman.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: But where's gitting more?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: You're getting more?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a tough one.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess my heart would stop myself from
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: allowing the Bregman thing to even come into my mind
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: because I just don't think it would ever happen. I
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: don't think we'd pay him that much or what he
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: wants I should say. I mean, if they decided to say, yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: we think he's worth it, we're gonna pay him by
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: all means, bring him in, like that's great. I just
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: think more realistically, they're gonna go with the one they know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: and the one they know is Gino.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it would be half the price. Yeah, probably
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: half the price is Bregman twice the player.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say. He's not gonna get a hundred homers.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I know that, but I think that he just brings
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: more to the table, not a little bit more defensively.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Not that Gino's bad by any stretch, but I don't
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: know if he's quite as good. I think they both
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: would be good in the clubhouse different ways. One's good vibes,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: one's gritty, grind, go play the game hard.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's all about.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Winning and and and whatnot. Not that Gino isn't, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you get you get my point. I think, yeah, I would.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I would choose Bregman, even though part of me is like, yeah,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: they're not going to do that. They're not going to
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: jump into those waters. I don't think. I I think
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: another one that I've always kind of liked, and yet
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily why is Harrison Bader as a
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: guy that as a d H an inexpensive DH. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: think you get him for less than ten million bucks
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a year, and you could do it on a short
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: term deal to where if it's not working out, you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: move on. I think you get him less than what
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you paid for Mitch Garver well, and you're gonna get more. Okay,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get more out of him offensively. He's not
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: great defensively, but that's fine. You have a pretty set
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: outfield at this point in time. But Bart, if you
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: have an injury, you want to be able to put
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: somebody in there that you don't feel like you're going backwards.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And then he could also DH. I mean he could,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he could. He's not a guy that is just one
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: side of the plate or the other, like you know
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the Ben Refschneider that we just signed yesterday. He rakes
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: lefties and he's not good against right handed pitching, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: so I supposed what they're probably planning on doing is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: figuring out a way to have I don't know, maybe
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the backup catcher when if there's a rity on the mound,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: maybe the backup that's when the backup catcher catches and
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you put Cal in the DH spot being a switch hitter,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that's will you use his DH where he's only half
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the DH. It's that or they find another DH to.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Platoon with him.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I think if you do it the way that I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: expressed first, where Col's DH and and you bring in
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: your backup catcher, you're going backwards offensively for sure.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I and I get that for I don't
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: think that that's the route. It didn't work out very
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: well last year, so I don't think that that's the
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: situation you should have. You're putting yourself in too risky
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: of a position in those situations. I think what you
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: were talking about earlier today with having ref Schneider ref
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Schneider on you know, batting against lefties as your DH
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: and then bringing in someone like Carlos Santana to face
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: the righties, someone again who you know, and we know
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: the Mariners love to have players they are familiar with.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean it's I think to some degree,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: for a while, Jerry maybe discounted a little bit too
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: much the importance of the clubhouse.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I think you don't have to have it to win.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can have a bunch of dudes that
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: really don't like each other, but they're really good baseball players,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna go out and win a bunch of games.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: But if you're gonna be somewhere throughout the course of
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two games, even those that don't
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: get along, that maybe don't see eydie on a bunch
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: of stuff, they're gonna kind of grind together and they'll
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: find themselves in a sense of sympatico. They'll find themselves
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: in a mode where they're doing what they need to
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: do for each other with one another, and so it
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: ends up playing where everything's kind of smooth sailing right now,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and then you're gonna run into those hiccups. And that's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: where a good manager comes in to get everybody rowing
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in the same direction, even if you're not necessarily wanting
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to kick it with each other outside of the field
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: of play. So I mean, I hope they add some stuff.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy with the fact they added Rob Reschneider.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's based on war he was the best
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: left fielder on the market, all right. I mean he
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: was the highest rated left fielder. Now that's a guy
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that you know, puts them all in play and hits
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a bunch of line drives and understands how to handle
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the bat when it's against a lefty. Yeah, And so
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: they definitely upgraded with that move. And yet I want
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: them to continue it upgrade because you did lose some
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: pieces Polanco and Gino. You have not made up for
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all of that yet with a backup catcher and a
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: platoon dh slash utility guys.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: So we shall see what they do.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: But from our mouths to Santa's Ears and the Mariners,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: go ahead and keep on getting us some presents.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: We like presents.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: On the other side, yep, we're going to do our
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: one last thing and wish everybody to marry very merry,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: very merry, very merry Christmas. On the other side, here
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, oh, one
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: last thing before Christmas. Maybe the best one last thing
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of the year. Definitely the best one last thing this year,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of the end of this year.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely the best one last thing of this week.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yep.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Well O Fridays will probably be no will booze news.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, that won't be a one last thing.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, anyways, Merry Christmas everybody out there, thanks for listening.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It's fun doing the show. It's a lot more doing
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: it from this chair, come to find out. And yet
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I do feel more comfortable each time that I get
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to do it. And Ashley, thank you very much because
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you make it easy. So thank you, thank you very
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for one last thing before
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: we got to turn this thing over to MJ and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the wonderful Christopher kid.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: That's your one last thing.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: I just want to say same thing, like, hey, thanks
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: to everyone that has listened to us and is listening
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: to us this holiday week. I know the schedules are
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: on and we've still got all our favorite people texting
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: in and so being a part of the show. And
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, I especially with the text line.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: We don't utilize it a lot in our show, but
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: we do respond to people, and I do want the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: people that do take the time to text in to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: know that we do see your tech, so we do
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: appreciate it, and you know, we might not be able
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: to write back all the time. But that doesn't mean
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: that we're not paying attention to them and we're not
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: really appreciative of the things that you say, and not
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: even like praising us, nothing like that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, just participating in the show.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot of fun to have to be
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: doing this and knowing that people are playing along.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it is weird sitting here in our little box,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: right and you're in your own little room and you
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: know that there's people listening, but the text line is
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: kind of the only real way that you know for sure. Now,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: there's a bunch of turds that like to just you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: say stuff and I want to do what DK did.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Sometimes actually not really, I don't care that much.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: But some of the people that are turds that think
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: they're not. At least there's some that are turds and
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: know they are and are trying to get under our skin.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: The ones that think they're totally within the realm of reason.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, you're there, you're frightening.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: You're a bit off base there, friend, But yeah, it is.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are in the Christmas
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: spirit because there has been a lot of nice one
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: telling us good job, and yeah, merry Christmas, and merry
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Christmas to everyone, even those that hate I don't care
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Rick well, and merry Christmas to you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Still, yes, I do want to address one specific test.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: We got a text we got from the two five
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: to three asking or just saying, I miss the Twelve
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Days of Christmas. And I know it was probably a
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: lot of extra work for you, Ashley, but I miss it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: So I to that person, I will just say this, Yes,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I apologize. I have not done the Twelve Days of
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Christmas the last two years. I had family things going
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: on at the holidays both last year and this year.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I lost my dad last year, and we had Mark's
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: aunt unfortunately died just a couple of weeks ago. So
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I've not been in a very festive Christmas mood in
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: terms of the energy that it takes to put together
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: the Twelve Days of Christmas.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: But next year, I promise I will do it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: It is a good one.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But yes, we do have lives outside of this and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: try to even in not so fun times like you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: were talking about, try to still stay the straight and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: arrow and stay on task and do what we can.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: But that's some extra stuff that is a lot of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: work that you end up putting into to get that
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: thing to where it is. It's, uh, there's a reason
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they haven't asked.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Me to well, And you know, you just got to
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: be in the right frame of mind to put something
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: together like that. And when you're being pulled in a
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: completely opposite direction, it's hard to.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Get the focus there.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It takes all the focus you can muster
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to just do the four hours of actual radio.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, beyond exactly.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Trying to find some festive mood to get in when
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you're heading in the opposite direction.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, we did get another texture just now said,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: how do I get Bucky autograph?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I'm right now, send him in?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Ye, send them in. I do.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I sign them everyone that comes, and I always will.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And because otherwise my mom would be like, I'm so disappointed.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Just make sure when you send it in that you
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: put an envelope with your return address back on it
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: to make it easier.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I probably won't. I don't even know where
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I would ask me.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: You'd have to find.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: You don't have like it just a place that has
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: all of the stockpile of office supplies.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: We don't know where that is.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, we should get on that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, with all of the PayPal ad revenue that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: we get, maybe we could get some stamps and stuff
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: so they could send stuff back to those that forget
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: a self address stamped envelope. I doubt it, though, so
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I would do it yourself, send it in with a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: stamped envelope, and I will sign it and send it
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: off the same day that I get it guaranteed. All right,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: My one last thing, what was it? I was going
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to say, and now I got totally distracted.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that's all right.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I had something too, and it was good. Maybe it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Good, obviously, I think it was probably great.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It was the DK it. I saw a new video
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: on the DK thing. Now both these things can be
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: true at the same time. It's a video of basically
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Tom Pelichero shared this video. This is after DK punched
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: this dude. It shows the guy coming back to his seat,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: ripping his shirt off in his blue wig to find
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: he has blue dyed hair underneath the blue tinsel wig
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and he says that was the goal. Oh, that was
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the goal. He was doing it on purpose, trying to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: get it right. Now, I wouldn't be surprised because he's thinking,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: that's paycheck, right, He's gonna sue. You shouldn't get anything. No,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: if that's your goal, it's say something to get punched
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in the face by a pro athlete so that you
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: can make money hopefully that judge. The judge sees it
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and says, yeah, you don't get jack.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, you get a skull. Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And and well, I mean if if I mean you
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: just got to keep yourself in check, DK, I think
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: that that is one truth. You have to keep yourself
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in check, regulate your emotions. You can't do that, period,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: point blank.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's all there is to it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: On the flip side of it, if you think that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you get to go do whatever you want with no repercussions,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: hoping that he does something and you can get a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: paycheck out of it, you deserve nothing either, and you're
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: just a bad human. So Merry Christmas to everyone except
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: for that guy. And yeah, other than that, I don't know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to wish everybody a merry Christmas except
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: for that guy, and just enjoy your time with your family.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You know, we don't know for sure how many Christmases
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and how many New Year's is you have. So hug
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: your loved ones, tell them you love them, am spend
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: some time with them, enjoy the time. It's not about
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the presence, It's about the family celebration and being good
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to one another. So until I see you, guys, or
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: until I talk to you guys again, Merry Christmas from me,
