  weeks ago, right? Yeah, yeah.

  That's how time works when you get to our age.

  What are you doing here today and just FCC just.
• 2:34
  Literally just got in, came to see you and just wanted to say
• 2:38
  hello. Just excited and didn't get a
• 2:39
  chance to come last year. Just really excited about being
• 2:42
  here and seeing everybody and catching up and you know.
• 2:45
  All the great things that are going on.
• 2:46
  What's the one thing you circled?
• 2:48
  OK, I'm coming to Denver, to the USTXCAI can't miss Hall of Fame.
• 2:52
  Maybe it was a speaker, you know.
• 2:54
  It's there's a couple of things, Hall of Fame, there's a couple
• 2:57
  of speakers that I want to listen to our our flight got
• 2:59
  delayed. So I was trying to catch Chris
• 3:01
  Parnow tonight. I missed him.
• 3:03
  But we're looking forward to some of the Division One voting.
• 3:07
  Stuff. That's going on about some
• 3:09
  possible changes to indoor qualifying, yeah.
• 3:13
  Whatever you do, you know this is completely selfish.
• 3:16
  As an equipment provider, do not do regionals for indoor
• 3:19
  nationals. It's also not good for our sport
• 3:20
  in my belief as well, but I just don't want.
• 3:22
  To it may be out of our control. Yeah, well, you know.
• 3:25
  That that train may be heading down the stroller once though.
• 3:28
  I was out of my control, you said.
• 3:30
  You. Had some ideas for me later.
• 3:32
  I mean, yeah. You need to take care of
• 3:34
  yourself. Oh my gosh.
• 3:35
  A. T-shirt and a hoodie.
• 3:37
  So take a look at this and you know, if you were here earlier,
• 3:41
  you, you know, my feelings about this, it really is special.
• 3:44
  You know, when I wear these and show them on Twitter and work
• 3:46
  out and stuff. This really is my, the reason I
• 3:49
  do this. It's kind of twofold. 1 is to
• 3:51
  keep myself accountable. That's why I do when I work out,
• 3:52
  sure. But it also is, it's kind of my,
• 3:54
  my thought process of like what I'm doing to get myself
• 3:57
  healthier also for my family, but for, for the coaches.
• 4:00
  I can't serve you if I can't. It's a little bit that selfish.
• 4:03
  I have to be selfish and get better, healthier so I can serve
• 4:06
  you guys longer. Done the same thing.
• 4:08
  There's 50. Pounds less of Coach Self now
• 4:10
  than there was. I know there's no secret, but
• 4:13
  I'm going to say I need to know the secret because I'm
• 4:14
  struggling. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:18
  My, my diet is not matching up to my working.
• 4:20
  Out that's for sure. My super fit wife says I got to
• 4:22
  keep working out anymore so that's the next step.
• 4:24
  But my wife I did it in diet first so.
• 4:26
  She's she's too nice to me. My wife's like, you really
• 4:29
  should eat healthier. Would you like some pizza?
• 4:30
  Yeah. She's too nice to me.
• 4:33
  Dave, thank you so much for that.
• 4:34
  We'll catch up throughout the week.
• 4:35
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:35
  Sounds great. Appreciate it, bud.
• 4:36
  Appreciate you.
