1:04
and the kids are looking at me like what are we doing today?
1:07
And I'm like, give it a minute, give it a minute, give it a
1:09
minute. And then you see the first
1:12
glimpse of the Sun and you're like, oh yeah we're good, we're
1:15
good. You guys clear?
1:18
And it looks beautiful or out there in the winds blowing and
1:22
then you realize that this is the absolute worst time as a
1:25
coach to be out there because when I when I want, when I came
1:28
home, my eyes, everything just cross P.
1:33
I like I slept for about two hours this afternoon, like when
1:37
I came on. Wow, I was done.
1:39
So I'm okay. Now, it took me a while but I'm
1:42
okay. Welcome to the warmth.

2:48
problems. What are the reviews from the
2:55
new Gainesville indoor facility? What have you been hearing?
3:00
What I've been hearing is, it was interesting because the
3:03
first weekend we were in Clemens in the first week at the beat
3:05
open and Nick Peterson was getting text messages about
3:09
complaints about runway length. And stuff like that as if we
3:13
designed the building between that's that's that's the first
3:17
reaction people had. To watch.
3:43
No. Competition is so given get a
3:45
feel for what I want and who I might want to sit over there at
3:49
some point? Yeah.
3:50
I feel like I said this to the in the offices, I feel like it's
3:53
such an oxymoron to fly to Florida to Griffin endure.
3:57
I mean, best Last Chance meet in the
4:13
country. All right, last but not least
4:51
because I couldn't, I had to make you sit in this name.
4:55
You have a moral house. I hate so much.
4:59
Literally, come on. This one is a good one.
5:03
That is actually pretty good. I see three that's in your top
5:09
three. I had to pay.
5:10
Omar's because I feel bouncy today.
5:16
Thank you, sir. Lucius me and you me and you.
5:20
No, no. I With that said, do not at me.
5:33
I know how to spell you more and I know her.
5:35
Last name is not roll house. The only knows because he asked,
5:40
okay. But I know, right.
5:47
All right. With that, with that chaos track
5:51
is officially back. Like it was back before but it's
5:55
officially officially because there were so many marks this
6:00
weekend in my room bit like to Collegiate, records in
6:05
traditional in traditional marks already is really fast for the
6:11
season. Yeah.
6:12
Like you if it's a 300 or something like that it's it's an
6:18
awesome. Hurdles in the same weekend with
6:25
the hours of each other. There's like they were smooth
6:28
while I can talk to the hurdles smooth.
6:32
The yeah like Extinction and that's the thing like Anna, we
6:36
have this kind of discussion on which performance was more
6:38
impressive and like I think they're too close for me, but
6:44
I'm going to lean on the hurdles.
6:45
Not because I was a hurdler. So before we get back, throw it
6:50
but because her technical models, So much better.
6:54
It was a year ago. Yes, you know, like she's I
6:57
mean, it's amazing, the transformation she's made.
7:00
It really is, you know, and like because we know flow and because
7:07
we know his mindset like this is a Dye called was a, dude.
7:11
It's out of character for you. You don't do this stuff.
7:13
The second biggest meet in January.
7:15
You might start this mess at the conference me.
7:17
So what the heck she gonna run in?
7:20
In Martin we go back there, right?
7:22
So you know, those are to watch. Ouch, I think that it's been
7:25
amazing to man. Just be like, Alfred now has for
7:30
the top five, 60 marks in history, amazing.
7:34
Yeah, maybe that's amazing. What else?
7:42
Well I have to go back to the week before because Britain
7:47
Wilson's 125 that's pretty. Yeah.
7:51
And that was smooth. So I got to see that one too.
7:54
So so we got to follow you around employee Direction.
8:14
Close. It looked like that was just
8:21
rolling and she's going to be great to see what she does with
8:29
our dogs outside. And it's going to be impressive.
8:33
No, I'm not sure exactly what she's going to run this year
8:40
indoors because she can run either the for the gate if she
8:43
wanted to. It looks like right?
8:45
Because we you get you 1125. They could they bring you
8:48
through a 130. You're like, God, brought you
8:50
one of the roof that could get interesting about it.
8:54
I think she's gonna run the quarter sheet, shrimp 55
8:56
Outdoors last year, but then just speaks to the training
8:59
model of the great things they're doing and know, you
9:02
know, you know couple weeks ago. Also I think we have to give a
9:05
shout out to Jasmine. More.
9:06
Who has like five or six of the top 10 will triple jump watching
9:10
issue. Yeah, so yeah.
9:17
That's all I can say to that. Is Jasmine.
9:21
More is a, she is a cheat code and it's so awesome to watch.
9:30
Going on the men's side. I mean you're in week two and
9:33
it's it's 663 to make gate right now, right now, right now it
9:40
might take 60 this year, right? What are we doing here?
9:47
Remember, it's absolutely, he's not on the list.
9:56
Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, I think about you think
10:01
about cone 651. That was impressive.
10:04
Yes. Yes, very impressed because he's
10:06
not known as a starter but he led that that range from from
10:10
gun to the lung. That would, that was a tricky
10:12
are goes on, a great job with him and it'll clear enough some
10:15
frontside stuff with him but like that was impressive.
10:18
Yeah, I'm gonna go home and give my girl to eat the digs a shout
10:21
out for a 714 you know, 36 1 double you know tying the great
10:26
said, the kids 300 meter Mark. So Yeah.
10:31
I mean I am I right in assuming that by the time she's done with
10:36
her collegiate career, she's gonna have some pretty hot marks
10:38
from the 60, all the way up to the for.
10:40
I mean, is that, is it? I mean, they're already pretty
10:43
hot meat. Yeah. 71-67. 1411 2422.
10:53
Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah.
10:59
Yeah. So, she's pretty locked in. 778
11:06
right now to get in in the men's hurdles.
11:09
I mean that's that's decent but I think that's because the
11:13
hurdles is such a rhythm event that it's 778 already.
11:17
It's going to take 72. Yeah, I'll take something to eat
11:22
sheesh. Yeah, 60 though.
11:27
I remember last year, I had y'all on 60 watch every week,
11:30
and I'm gonna keep doing it this year, but we're already a 663,
11:34
and there's a bunch of people who haven't run yet.
11:37
Yeah. It's, um, that's what I'm
11:38
saying. Like, there's like, like, what's
11:40
a good for estate kid's name? The one that was started off
11:45
with another 100 last year? JoJo.
11:50
Yeah, your Market? Yes, he hasn't won yet.
11:54
Yeah, he's a 994 do so, you know, he can run other things
12:03
like man. Hot.
12:45
Back this weekend and there's a plethora of great cook teams and
12:50
athletes going there. And so next week, when we'll
12:53
have attractants back segment, that might take the whole show,
12:56
just the racerback itself. Yeah, and I'm hearing that New
13:02
Mexico is going to be off the rails next week, two weeks ago
13:08
that this coming week about the following week to week two weeks
13:10
from now. Yeah, to be yeah, Don Kirby.
13:14
So the same we gonna do Same weekend, the same weekend is
13:16
Tyson or the week in between. Yeah, February 10th weekend.
13:19
February, 10 stations supposed to be off the rails as well.
13:23
So mean Tyson is upside down competition of an aisle.
13:47
I really didn't pay attention to it.
13:51
Other than 784, it was. All right not as a shot.
13:57
I just mean like it wasn't like let's we've talked about this
14:01
before like protract is indoors is so spotty in a year without a
14:06
championship because it's like literally a choice I think half
14:11
the people that were on the run because they're bored which I
14:13
get Chuck Anita shaders through the world lead.
14:18
Last week in there 21:20 and it looked like a training for
14:22
mm-hmm. Yeah.
14:35
Yeah yeah. Yeah.
15:31
Yeah, they are, they're providing the link between Cliff
15:34
around for someone to do this, like exactly $100 per link,
15:47
great as good as this as a great living.
15:51
If you can, if you can do it, they can do it, okay?
16:32
To try to get things done, encourage or exactly
16:57
question to ask. Yeah we're sure.
17:02
So is the world lead in the women's hurdles listed as the
17:08
actual Mark or the altitude of Justice mark.
17:12
But that's not the actual mark because it wasn't.
17:20
But but I think it's hilarious because if it were listed and
17:24
you don't know, no better. This is how ridiculous are for
17:27
it is if you don't know, no better.
17:29
You would look at that and be like we're one of these is
17:31
wrong, right? Because it will be listed on the
17:33
World list as the actual Mark, but is this an onion CAA into
17:38
the playlist? Okin Julian Alfred 702 is number
17:45
one on the list. Yes it is.
17:48
It is there as 702 how stood because that meat was in Mexico.
17:54
Did the work? Yeah that's a good skill.
17:56
Paid a honey. Got the memo think about.
18:00
I just told you who was the big charge behind this Texas.
18:45
Okay, so like Jasmine. That somehow the five of us were
19:02
six months ahead of the rest of the country.
19:04
When we're talking about this, yes months ago.
19:09
So true story, throwing conversations under the bus this
19:13
morning people are up in arms in our group chat and I didn't
19:17
respond. I was like I'm just not they're
19:19
going to get to their they're going to get there sooner or
19:20
later. I'm going.
19:21
They're going to get their there and Figure out and I'm like, I'm
19:23
not getting there fast enough and so, literally write like a
19:26
three-page letter stating everything that's been conversed
19:30
about here and I'm like, do you care?
19:34
Not care. Like what?
19:36
And I'm like, it's the TCU invite on March 17.
19:40
I mean now I will say for $100, sure will care.
19:46
Yes. But for the Thousand, I'm sorry,
19:50
no two poles. All national championships after
20:13
the deadline. Oh my gosh, the whole reason
20:17
this window is open is because, are you ready for this RE USA
20:24
indoors. USA Outdoors were not on the
20:29
list. So swing mr.
20:32
Huck mr. Roll house.
20:34
I mean, are we supposed to be disclosing this information and
20:37
we don't care. I told you, I choose violence.
20:40
Yeah. Baseball look.
20:43
We were having this conversation at the annual meeting because
20:48
the reason it was relevant to me.
20:50
The whole reason I was at the annual meeting was the combined
20:53
events, because there was not a combined event on the global
20:58
challenge. Wow, on this side of the world.
21:02
Wow, Now they're lobbying for to, right?
21:06
And now they now they have now Mount Sac is USA's is yeah and
21:15
look given what given what we just found out about flow, you
21:17
know, Texas relays is, you know, it And will flutter isn't Tom
21:22
Jones, White, none of those meets.
21:29
None of those meats by the letter of the law should have
21:33
been allowed on the calendar until next year next year, but
21:37
because there were no us meets on the couch.
21:42
So, who dropped the ball? Everybody listed the question.
21:58
I don't mean to Gainesville me, we know here's the thing.
22:02
Like, are we in a situation now, like, where things are happening
22:06
in real time, so, everybody threw their arms up two weeks
22:11
ago. Are we getting these?
22:14
Now, these meats being put on the list because of that, is it?
22:17
That are we that deep into this mess?
22:21
Yes. Are now opening the window up
22:23
again. Yes.
22:25
Because see, listen, Look look. We've said this is what's not?
22:28
We've said this a bunch of times but I'm going to say it one time
22:30
clearly so everybody who watches our show can hear it.
22:34
World Athletics is only concerned with the Optics of
22:37
things. Mmm.
22:39
So when they're getting trashed on the worldwide internet.
22:42
Yeah, for having the fastest marks in the world, not be
22:46
listed on their world Athletics list.
22:50
How do we fix this seamlessly? Yep, Bob's your uncle.
22:55
Right? Because now, because now if your
22:57
marks not on the list, right? Just cause you're not in
23:00
compliance, we've given you the opportunity to be in compliance
23:04
to put your Meats on there. So now it's not our fault,
23:06
right, which imp, and basically, that was the gist of the email,
23:11
we all got like we need to get this done.
23:15
He has to be honored Listen to. So do you.
23:37
So do you put this information in your your home, meet
23:40
information. Now like was very seriously.
23:50
After like Matt Downs at Arkansas, is one of the best 2D
23:56
Ops on the planet. So when you get the information
23:59
from him I'll share the meat information with you guys
24:01
tomorrow. Like it is very detailed who
24:05
where when what, why? And oh, by the way, we are in
24:09
compliance with the world of the letter.
24:12
That I keep covers, everything he tells you what's going to
24:16
happen, What would happen if you didn't do it, he tell ya.
24:19
He goes as far as As to tell you that the officials will let you
24:24
know, if you would have been disqualified by Ward athletic
24:28
rules. But not because he said it's
24:32
going to be And these dudes were just going
25:02
on and on, and on and pontificating about, you know,
25:05
about exactly what we talked about five months ago.
25:07
Hmm, you know, these marks aren't on the list and, you
25:11
know, the meat directors have been lazy and not done their
25:14
paperwork and I'm like, you're not even saying the truth, but
25:16
okay. Well hey look, you know what,
25:19
welcome to the party. Everybody somebody's got to be
25:23
in. You to what we, what do we want
25:25
to pro football now? Yeah, the musings of how the
25:29
Giants got drilled last week. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say that
25:31
out loud? I see, you know, I'm always up
25:37
for this if we're choosing violence, let's get negative
25:46
negative. Look, I live in and yes there
25:54
were definitely some people who came for me on Saturday because
25:57
my Giants lost. I was like you know, unlike most
26:01
of y'all will be tomorrow because I predicted this
26:03
nonsense that happened, I was like I'm not upset because my
26:07
team's roster doesn't belong in the playoffs and it was a good
26:12
run. There's only one way we can win.
26:13
I've said this like 10 times we didn't do that and we got
26:17
thrashed. Act.
26:20
But we're on the up Arrow, right?
26:22
The very next day, the Cowboys, my shocked face lose to a better
26:28
roster. It shouldn't have been a big
26:30
deal, right? Like look, we just need to do
26:33
this in that, get better and we'll take him down next year
26:36
but that's not the narrative. Because as soon as the Cowboys
26:39
win, two games in a row, they're going to be Super Bowl champs.
26:42
So then, of course, the Fallout the following day is now we got
26:45
to explain why we're not going to be super, get Super Bowl
26:47
champs. And we got all Point the
26:49
fingers. So now let's see.
26:51
We need a new coach because Mike McCarthy is trash.
26:55
All of a sudden Keller's not a good play, classic matter up the
26:58
national question. Yeah.
27:00
Is this the NFL playoffs segment or just the Dallas Cowboys
27:02
trashed it? Yes, although sir you started
27:12
this, you know, with the Giants See how much easier that was
27:44
need to be easy. Yeah, I could make it easy but I
27:49
won't. So that's what the end of the
27:53
day. Okay, look Cowboys lost and we
27:56
knew they were gonna lose and you know I look I'll be the
28:00
first one to tell you I was pulling for him.
28:02
I was I gave you guys my reasons why you want to be going to that
28:06
but at the end of the day that I think they were going to beat, I
28:08
was shocked and game. Was that close?
28:10
I was yeah. I think you know if you if
28:13
you're a true fan of football there's no way you got the
28:16
Cowboys were holding 19 ones. No way.
28:19
Yeah. No chance.
28:20
You know but then you know you go to the other games you know
28:24
the Chiefs got issues with my homies can't play, they got
28:27
issues. Yeah they got it, they got
28:29
issues. If he can't play you know the
28:31
Eagles were clearly the best team on that field, you know?
28:35
And the Cincinnati Bengals angles.
28:39
Boy, I cannot wait. Wait for this weekend, man.
28:47
Listen, that that performance in those conditions.
28:53
I mean, look, that that take, maybe even every facet of the
28:57
game, did every sing like, can they, protect, can they protect
29:02
jobber? Oh, they've got three offensive
29:04
linemen out, all this stuff. Whoo.
29:07
I didn't touch him. They did not touch him.
29:11
You know what, two teams in the NFL, refuse to change the DNA,
29:15
to matter, who's playing on the team, the bills and the
29:18
Chargers? Yeah, they are who they are?
29:21
Yeah. Yeah, if I may, please do that
29:26
was a lie for you sir. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend
29:33
of a bitch, you did, but to the bills issue.
29:40
Coaching matters and the the say, the New York football
29:47
Giants with a limited roster. Maybe teeth that's nice.
29:55
Limited roster made it as far as they did because of coaching
30:01
100%. Yeah, the Buffalo Bills cooking
30:04
job in in the league. Absolutely, Buffalo Bills are
30:07
aware that coats came from and they Desperately miss that, man.
30:12
Yep, Josh Allen desperately misses that man.
30:17
It's not a good. It's not good moving for it.
30:20
Joshua Allen is awesome. He's amazing talent.
30:22
But without day ball, It's been a mess.
30:27
Yeah and I don't really see it getting much better.
30:31
The fact that borough has emerged is a big, big problem.
30:35
Yeah. Cincinnati phenomenal game.
30:40
I don't remember the professional commentator but he
30:43
who said this but he hit it right on the head.
30:45
He's like Cincinnati was playing offense and buffalo was just
30:48
calling place. Like you just didn't make any
30:51
sense with her just as true. Want to make any sense.
30:57
Help me with this. You are the Buffalo Bills,
31:01
right? And and you do all the things
31:03
you do to put together your roster to to have home-field
31:07
Advantage, right? Then you then you get to play in
31:10
a snowstorm in Buffalo. Whether yes, you have white Cam
31:14
Newton as your quarterback and you don't run him.
31:17
Yes. Best athlete or field.
31:20
Yes, drop back and Chuck it in the snow like hey, they make so
31:24
much sense. Alan would have been icing up
31:27
still, because I would have still been calling run place for
31:29
him. Absolutely, you know, that that
31:32
game was irritating but entertaining to watch, you know,
31:38
I thought Jacksonville was Valiant, you know, they gave it
31:41
a good run over, they were happy to be the Cowboys.
31:49
I'm not talking about that other side of the boat Cowboys defense
31:53
and the Jaguars as a whole were the most The things I saw the
31:57
county. They were both very valued.
31:59
As you say, Cowboys defense played an elite game, they did
32:04
absolutely. Here's the problem.
32:05
There's certain things in sport, they're just true.
32:08
The Clippers are going to clip. Cowboys are going to Cowboy and
32:12
Dak ain't good enough. It just is what it is.
32:18
It's been eight years, Cowboy Nation, not the governor, Cowboy
32:23
Nation needs to accept reality. E the boy ain't good enough
32:30
because he hears the reality of it.
32:31
You know you can't. It's very rarely.
32:35
Can you win the big one without an elite quarterback?
32:38
It's happened one occasion. Yes.
32:40
But you know, to quote my man, Daryl and it's and he has to
32:42
least be serviceable, right? That's not even so.
32:45
So I mean he's a nice enough guy, he says the right things.
32:53
Right now, he's not even serviceable, you can't win with
32:56
that kind of quarterback like makes.
32:57
Okay, let's let's close the for call it.
32:59
What it listening called, hundreds today?
33:01
Talk about how they need more weapons around deck.
33:05
No, I was like what's left when the score was 929.
33:11
Okay, what do, what else do you need to understand that managed
33:17
the game. Don't shoot yourself in the foot
33:21
that boy through a game in. Adding pick-six that was
33:24
dropped. Look, man, like the throw the
33:28
Gallup girl literally stops in his tracks and just Waits there
33:34
like, you're playing against one of the best defenses in the, in
33:39
the NFL. Don't just, you know, going to
33:43
okay. The dude is right there.
33:44
You can't feeling that that interception to me.
33:49
I was just like, okay, For one little friend.
33:52
So those are the those of you don't understand what you just
33:56
witnessed in. The last 30 seconds is the
33:58
frustration of what Dallas Cowboys.
34:02
He wants to jump off a bridge because he's frustrated, like I
34:08
said, you know, the Dallas Dallas has some Elite Talent on
34:11
that on that team, no doubt there.
34:13
But I question their coaching strategies and I definitely will
34:18
always questioned the quarterback play because that
34:20
back like not trying to trash the guy, but you're trying to
34:24
win a Super. I don't think he's the guy.
34:25
I just no, no. It's it's very difficult to win
34:31
high level playoff games or a Super Bowl with a quarterback
34:36
that needs things, right? Like that, you can win football
34:42
games with that mean we did this year the Giants that this year
34:45
with Daniel Jones, right? Yeah, let's be clear.
34:47
He's not good enough for us to win a Super Bowl but we're not
34:50
in a Football conversation either, right?
34:52
And we're about to pay him more money than we should because we
34:55
don't have a choice. We're stuck in the middle.
34:57
But when you pay somebody like Dak Super Superman, quarterback
35:05
money. Yeah.
35:07
The expectations come with it and the unfortunate part is like
35:11
everybody else in his pay class. Has shown Championship medal,
35:19
almost them and see that. That's what was so funny about
35:22
this when the whole drama because it played out for a
35:26
while, right of pay Dak, right? I used to have these arguments
35:31
daily. I'm like I don't like the
35:33
Cowboys. I want them to pay that so I can
35:38
keep laughing at this. You people love your team.
35:43
Why do you want him to get 40 million dollars and half of them
35:47
straight up? They were rooting for the black
35:50
thing and I get it like I get that.
35:53
We want to see the black guys do well playing QB but he's not
35:57
that guy. You pay my homes.
36:00
You pay Russ, maybe. Not now people deserve to be
36:03
paid, right? Like he was never that guy.
36:07
If you would pay to classify, what he's worth, your team using
36:10
better Dallas does with the Cowboys do, and they do silly.
36:14
Stop right now. You trade one guy and you give
36:19
away for one guy to give away a people that was that was that
36:22
was right like that kind of like the end of the day.
36:25
I mean, they are who they are, but I who we got this weekend,
36:28
like who's going to say, Going into.
36:30
All right. Coming out of the weekend.
36:34
It's 90's evil Bangles cheese. Cincinnati San Francisco.
36:39
Cincinnati and the Eagles Cincinnati and the Eagles.
36:45
Also, you're all on the Bengals. Yeah.
37:33
You are, you are on the phone.
37:54
We had this exact same discussion about the Bengals,
37:57
and the Chiefs, a year ago, it was.
37:59
And I've yet to hear, I've yet to hear me.
38:08
So what's the next topic to because Chuck an argument, this
38:14
will be great. All right, so limping or not the
38:17
Chiefs going down, they could they couldn't be just one.
38:26
Okay. So another, the other fun email
38:29
that came out last week or Paula email It wasn't an email, we
38:34
talked about it in compliance meetings, this week there is a
38:38
new coaching limitation legislation that is passed and
38:42
is effective July, 1, specifically track and field
38:47
will no longer have volunteer coaches and each staff can have
38:52
a now. I knew Lee, I don't want to say
38:55
new a paid coach in place of those volunteer coaches.
38:58
So the eligibility is up 2614 every season / gender.
39:04
But it has to be university-sponsored.
39:08
You can't pay coach Smith out the back pocket.
39:12
It has to be a university-sponsored position.
39:15
Yes, sir. One of clarity.
39:19
As I was my understanding is. You don't have to pay these
39:26
people. Now you just can't can write,
39:30
it's not that you can't have all the tears anymore.
39:33
The exactly. But you can now pay them so
39:36
because it's also think about it like this, right?
39:39
Done is taken the onus off of that because before you can have
39:43
these additional six coaches but they had to be volunteers.
39:46
So what are you doing? You now restricting people's
39:49
earnings. Again, that's right, right.
39:51
So now they're saying, You can have the volunteers if you want,
39:55
but you can also pay the up two additional six coaches.
39:59
Yep, that's right. So, the other point of clarity
40:02
is, are we sure that that is that, that is the actual legal
40:09
ramifications, in track. Because I know that's not the
40:11
word. That's not the Virgin baseball,
40:13
like, literally, right in the different.
40:14
It's different in baseball, okay?
40:15
So that's why I was asking like, I don't know, but I can tell you
40:18
when baseball, they have eliminated, the volunteer
40:20
position, right? Used to be repaid and one Vale
40:23
Now, they have for paid and know what's easier to say, it's
40:26
easier to eliminate in baseball because they only had one bad.
40:31
Yes. So, so that so you can eliminate
40:34
them all in track because UK and this leads to my point.
40:38
There is no one who is getting six additional coaches.
40:43
Yeah. What can you do with 12 coaches?
40:44
Anyway. Yeah.
40:46
Is that, let's just start right there.
40:49
Let me throw this because I know you have important info for us.
40:53
Clarification. Okay, if anyone's going to find
40:57
out what you can do, it's going to be in Gainesville.
41:01
How many applications you've had this week?
41:05
I mean, he's not wrong, he's like because I have to have
41:11
something posted the application, so he's wrong.
41:14
So anyway, so so let's, so let's just, let's just think about it
41:17
like this and you know, and so, you know, I have a one of my
41:21
ideas who tells me understand stuff.
41:23
In a situation like this, right? So if you give the people the
41:27
baseball's in the softballs they get one, right?
41:31
And then let's say you give everybody else they can have
41:34
more than two to, right? That's almost two million
41:39
dollars a year, mmm, and extra extra money.
41:42
Nobody's getting six track coaches, folks, just not gonna
41:45
happen. You know, most might be honest
41:48
with you, some people are lucky to get one or two.
41:51
All right, so this is because you just can't look at.
41:54
Okay, I'm gonna okay and that's if the one point is like one
41:57
point six to two million dollars.
41:59
If everybody gets paid forty five thousand dollar man, that's
42:03
it forty five thousand dollars. It's almost benefits or
42:06
expensive for entry level positions best benefit benefit
42:10
of their all entry level positions.
42:12
It's going to cost the university, another two million
42:14
dollars not getting on. So so mean it is It's a
42:19
Wonderful class problems. It is exactly.
42:23
As I say, I don't feel like that's the first class that
42:25
sounds so much that I'll here's what I'll say.
42:29
I don't know if anybody's going to get to 12.
42:31
I doubt it, but I will say this, though, I have some, I have some
42:34
there will definitely be a snare going to be a staff or two or
42:38
three in the SEC that will have the most whatever that number is
42:44
whether it's ten, eleven nine, whatever it is.
42:48
Here's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna go out on a limb and
42:50
say this, Yes, I'm gonna say that the number will be 8 to 9
42:56
I've see that coming even 10, 11 12.
42:59
First of all, I couldn't what am I doing with her?
43:01
But I need to see the coach, the Mi coche, the 10K, coach whole
43:15
wall Coast coach coached the women's pole vault coat.
43:21
Ouch you see row house and I had this discussion about six weeks
43:25
ago now there's a position that will get filled.
43:29
Hmm. You know you know like they like
43:32
the single-gender staff will now if Come a single gender stat.
43:38
You got and we dealt with this, right?
43:40
Governor would have you got one field of in coach trying to
43:43
coach everything. So now there's going to be a God
43:46
that's throws sin and God that's jump Center that will happen in
43:50
the single-gender program. You know, there would be in a
43:54
duel gender program. That would be somebody that's
43:56
dedicated solely to the Polo. Yeah.
43:58
But it's still that's still never get me an attending,
44:01
right? There's no need for it, right?
44:04
But I got okay, how many volunteers Tear coaches are
44:07
really coaching. This is true.
44:10
Unless it's the popo. How many people how many were
44:13
really gorgeous? I could justify 10, but two of
44:17
those coaches are, literally not coaching anybody to of those
44:21
coaches. Are there.
44:23
Not even glorified they are recruiting coordinators, like,
44:26
literally, your job is to recruit.
44:28
Yes, but that's right, but let's be clear.
44:30
It's for some people. It's not even going to be about
44:34
the coaching. It's going to be about.
44:36
Out the label what I can go work at Oregon.
44:39
Now I can go work at tambu. Now, I can go work at Florida.
44:44
Now doesn't matter if I have to hold Mouse to stop watching,
44:46
bring him some water. I'm getting paid sixty thousand
44:49
dollars a year to bring some water.
44:51
I don't disagree with that but I don't think the positions are
44:55
going to be available. That's my point.
44:57
Yeah, I add. There's no world.
44:59
I'm expecting my 82 come in. Hey, you can hire for more
45:01
coaches. So I see I see this situation.
45:06
Ting Arkansas. Yeah.
45:09
No, please, I don't know he's gonna name teams because I
45:12
definitely got a list. I mean, it's, I mean, I just
45:15
gave you five of them. That is clear.
45:18
Okay, so here's the thing. See, I'm going to say what the
45:22
governor's about to say, like, it helps the single-gender
45:26
program. Yes, they're the ones that need
45:29
the help. Yes, there's not a lot of other,
45:32
okay. There's a guy there.
45:38
Coaching the Thrones as a volunteer.
45:40
That's pretty good your auntie. He's on staff next year.
45:44
Yep. Right on July 1.
45:46
He'll get named as a full time coach, right?
45:50
You don't know. And then on the right, you don't
45:53
think Chris Johnson's. Going like how I got it.
45:58
Got it. All he does is the povel.
46:00
Not who I can find somebody to coach the throws.
46:03
Yeah. Exactly.
46:06
Right. This idea came to me, I don't
46:11
think they'll be a lot of this out there in the world, but I
46:14
think I think it's an interesting opportunity as a
46:17
person that used to be in these type of positions, right.
46:21
If this was a couple years ago and I had an athlete, you know,
46:28
training at my place like a Jacqueline coward who's Elite
46:34
but not on contract. Now, I can hire them, and make
46:38
sure that they can eat. And I mean, if you have that's
46:42
happening and that will happen on some campuses, for sure, the
46:47
the athletes, who are hanging around train can get jobs.
46:53
Yeah, that's that's another curious one because, I mean,
46:56
have have any administrators talked about whether or not
47:00
those athletes will be allowed to stay stay on as volunteers.
47:05
I mean, I think you Began to clear that up.
47:07
I just wanted to get some clarity on that so you can see
47:11
that the volunteer position disappears.
47:14
No. Okay.
47:16
I understand that's the first thing I asked.
47:18
Yeah, I have some volunteers and I'm like to be clear.
47:21
Yeah, I have to pay these people because somebody better run me
47:25
some more money. Think about it like this.
47:28
Okay? So this all comes about because
47:30
the NCAA says you can have these people but you can't pay them.
47:32
So now they're restricting their earnings, right?
47:35
So now If you tell them like, you have to go away, you know,
47:39
it's just, it's just another can of worms over them.
47:42
So now the onus falls on the University.
47:44
Like, you can have six volunteers?
47:46
No, but I'm not about that. Nobody's telling you, you can't
47:49
pay them, okay? And for a lot of people, let's
47:52
be real for a lot of others. A lot of programs that have used
47:55
that as an excuse for a long time.
47:56
I ate, man, I just can't do it now.
47:59
It's like, oh, you can you just won't do it and that'll be glad
48:03
to be interesting, right? Because I think about like this,
48:05
we talked about About the first world problems, right?
48:09
How many people out there? Can really afford to pay two
48:12
more coaches. Yeah.
48:14
Oh the vast majority. Cannot cannot absolutely.
48:17
No no. And when I say, present in the
48:20
vast, majority of power, five schools, cannot again, all this
48:25
does is allow people to have a little money to pay more to more
48:28
coaches. But there's not going to be
48:30
these huge staffs of 12, people walking around and as I'm going
48:34
to be this plethora of opportunities, These four people
48:36
out there to get these jobs and people are imagining, it's just
48:39
not going to happen because we're with these things comes
48:42
money and that to 1.5 to 2 million dollars a year that's
48:46
just not an easy driving the bucket.
48:48
Well sir lucious you will not convince me that posting or
48:51
unposted. You ain't going to have 100
48:55
applications in your inbox. I'm sure that after people see
48:59
the show tonight. This team will because you
49:02
can't. Oh absolutely.
49:05
Please sit Send all email, email, don't even send them to
49:09
the op, send them directly to the man.
49:19
They only can be operation.
49:36
They cannot function on the track in that type of manner.
49:42
I don't think that's true. Yeah, about that.
49:47
That's so that because I was you know, what?
49:56
I was told still have six volunteer, coaches interests,
50:03
cannot. You just cannot be legislated
50:08
that you can't pay them. Yeah, right this is now the
50:12
freedom to pay. You don't even pay them.
50:15
So so the whole thing is just saying the ncaa's, not telling
50:18
you what you can't do pay wise. You can still have up to 12
50:21
coaches and you can pay as many of those as you wish.
50:25
The NCAA doesn't pick any really coming at them.
50:28
Talking about what they can and can't do like no, no Florida
50:31
said they can't pay. You don't talk to us.
50:38
Is that you heard something, right?
50:42
That was almost The same thing that Solutions heard.
50:48
You understand what I'm saying? Oh yeah.
50:50
Interpretations. And exactly.
50:53
Okay, compliance. Some of our alliances, some
51:00
compliance offices are can do some compliance offices aren't
51:06
won't. Do won't do you think about like
51:09
this to like you just look at the way structure.
51:12
Like I said, baseball. It was easy, right?
51:16
The volunteer coach goes away because the only had one so now
51:19
you can have an extra staff person you've been so you can't
51:21
have volunteers tracks tricky because we had six.
51:25
Yep. And there's no way that anybody
51:27
is going to say the volunteers have to go away because then now
51:32
you're limiting opportunities because they realized that
51:36
everybody cannot and will not pay six coaches.
51:40
So sir Lucius this this is a and this is the Side conversation is
51:45
being had because if if the terminology and the legislation
51:50
was saying that these volunteer positions go away what I
51:54
experienced at Florida and Florida State those six years of
51:59
being in the trenches and being guided and being mentored and
52:04
shown. Okay, this is what it takes.
52:07
Now, you are literally killing the coaching.
52:10
Profession has any young coach. That is looking to get into the
52:16
business and has an opportunity to volunteer.
52:20
I'll be the first person. Hey man, get over there.
52:24
Alright, and start at the bottom and learn about how this
52:28
profession works, you know, and the thing to get your hands
52:31
dirty. Exactly exactly.
52:33
So I'm glad that we've cleared that up because it needs to be
52:38
needs to be said that the mentorship the Teaching aspect
52:44
of it up. The the first hand learning has
52:48
to continue if we're going to continue to bring young coaches
52:53
up in this business. Was anybody else the example in
53:01
their compliance reading? Because we were definitely the
53:03
example. I'm only positive examples in my
53:09
meetings. This well though, I will say
53:17
that there are many rules coming out from the transformation
53:21
committee that are hilarious. I mean, wait, wait, wait till
53:27
everybody gets a whiff. Of this 25% of teams in the
53:30
basketball tournament thing coming.
53:33
That's why. Anyways so my gosh, all right,
53:37
last question, it's wordy so I'll read it with flow
53:41
hopefully. Why is it that we hear female
53:45
coaches belaboring the point that more female coaches need to
53:49
be higher? But when a female hope why
53:53
female gets a head coach position she hires mostly men So
54:02
I think the very Petty question, this is a very pretty picture,
54:05
but it, but it but it's a really good segue from where we just
54:08
came from. Right because in theory now we
54:11
have a really easy way to bring more females into coaching and
54:17
Gary. It's definitely in theory,
54:20
right? But in theory now we have really
54:23
the answer to fix the problem because I think the answer to
54:27
the question. In a lot of times is people want
54:34
to win. Usually you win with more
54:36
experienced coaches and there are fewer and fewer experienced
54:44
and talented female coaches to actually apply for those
54:49
positions because the ones who have some skin in the game,
54:56
pretty much are all head coaches now, Now.
54:59
And or don't want to be right? And then the ones who don't Are
55:07
all like are entry level positions, in which case.
55:12
I don't know that they like if you take over a program because
55:15
in like, if someone was fired in the night, now you're hired to
55:18
take over a program. You're probably not starting
55:20
with the entry level people. Right.
55:23
So look. I I agree that it's it's one of
55:29
those. Conundrums that I don't know
55:34
that there's a clean viable answer to look.
55:38
I know as an African-American when I was hired as a head coach
55:41
at Cal immediately, I was, you know, behind closed doors
55:45
expected to have a staff of five other black people and I was
55:48
like, I don't get that. Okay, so that's exactly where I
55:51
was gonna go with this. It's a petty question.
55:54
I'm going to give a give a petit anse.
55:57
Listen it. It's absolutely a numbers game.
56:03
Period. Absolutely a numbers game.
56:07
That's the easy and truthful and direct way to answer that if you
56:13
want to delve into the pettiness of it, and I'm not saying I
56:17
agree with this. I actually totally disagree with
56:20
this. But it's just true that
56:23
minorities suffer from ill perceived Notions of what it
56:31
would mean. So you're not going to get a
56:34
woman to gets director of track and field at Place X.
56:40
Choose not going to sit there and hire Six Women under her.
56:46
Because the perception of that is that it's weird or it's
56:51
wrong. It would just not go down that
56:55
way. Black coach X rarely has a staff
56:59
of all black coaches. We see white men and women have
57:04
nothing but all white staffs that happens.
57:07
That happens a lot at very prominent places that happens
57:10
all the time. It's happened systematically for
57:12
a long time, right? But that's the perception of
57:17
what's quote-unquote, normal. So, when you get a minority in
57:22
this position, a person of color, especially the double
57:26
triple minority of the woman. Your it would be.
57:31
So out of normal for that woman to step in there and hire a
57:37
majority female staff just a majority female staff.
57:40
Rarely often you barely see them, higher one, other female.
57:46
And it's, I think it's from a Sub, Conscious perception, of
57:53
what Norm should be. I would love to see it.
57:57
If I'm ever in a position where I had multiple quality
58:01
candidates at positions, I needed, I'd love to hire nothing
58:04
but women you know, to a staff that I was running.
58:08
But to LaMar's Point how many quality candidates are there
58:13
across the events across The Spectrum.
58:17
It's hard to find. It's a numbers game.
58:18
It absolutely is. But I do think that there's a
58:21
subconscious perception of what that would look like, and I
58:25
think most people are just feet, scared to death to do it.
58:34
For me, I think it's more about if I'm hired at a major power 5,
58:41
University of my, I'm hired to win.
58:43
And so I'm going to go out and find the coaches who have been
58:48
proven winners. And I'm not trying to be sexist
58:51
here at all, but there's not a pleasure of women coaches out
58:54
there that have proven that they have performed at the highest
58:57
level because mostly people that are performing at that level
59:00
have a good jobs already. So the industry is rowhouse said
59:06
the talent pool is not as deep and if you're charged to win you
59:10
can't hire your staff based on people because you think they
59:13
look like you or because you want people people to look a
59:17
certain way. You have to hire people that you
59:19
think can help you win and be successful.
59:21
And that's what happens in the situation.
59:24
I think it's pretty simple. No I got this out of not going
59:26
female coaches. I've been saying this for years
59:31
that if we want more, Email coaches, we need to have more
59:33
candidates by that. I mean, people that are
59:35
absolutely in the field getting their hands dirty and lurch.
59:43
It's the the when I did my masters in sports management at
59:53
Florida State, you know, one of the things that was, you know,
59:56
one of the hot topics and still is was Title 9.
59:59
And and even back, then there were talking about how at, you
1:00:07
know, Title Nine was designed to increase the amount of female
1:00:12
coaches. In sports and the opposite has
1:00:16
happened and the perception I think of what a coach should be
1:00:25
and how a coach should conduct his or herself and the idea of
1:00:30
winning and all of that, I think it's Jeff definitely skewed to
1:00:35
one side and the coaches that have enjoyed success year after
1:00:41
year, after year, after year. Are often mail coaches.
1:00:46
And, you know, I think a lot of this has to do with perceived
1:00:52
success, right? I mean, at the end of the day,
1:00:56
if you're trying to win, you are trying to go out and hire
1:00:59
winners. You're trying to go out and hire
1:01:02
folks with proven records and this is this is where we're at.
1:01:08
I mean, if you look at NCAA division, one Athletics their
1:01:12
280, III male head, coaches, and their 64 female head coaches in
1:01:20
the NCAA. And that's crazy in it, and it's
1:01:25
the same same subsection from cross country as well.
1:01:31
So that in itself, I mean, and I, all, and also say this what
1:01:37
it takes, To be a successful coach in the NCAA is, you know,
1:01:45
like it's a very difficult job to do.
1:01:49
It is a very unforgiving job. There are there so many layers
1:01:54
to it and I think I think when it bought when you, when you
1:01:59
boil it down, like it is You know I mean I can only I can
1:02:05
only go off what I'm seeing and what what the actions have been
1:02:11
and what the practices have been of some of the most successful
1:02:14
female coaches in our era. And it's the same thing.
1:02:19
They're going after the best coach.
1:02:25
They're not thinking I want to have or I want to be someone
1:02:30
that breaks the mold. And that's why it's a petty
1:02:34
question. Yeah.
1:02:35
Because the spirit of it and I could be wrong.
1:02:38
I'm sure I'll get a DMZ. Nah that's not what I meant the
1:02:41
spirit of the question is this? These women talk a lot about
1:02:47
uplifting women in the sport but when they're in the chair they
1:02:50
don't drag these other women with them.
1:02:52
No. Because when you get in the
1:02:54
chair, you want to stay in the chair and you do exactly what
1:02:57
everybody else in the chair. Does you try to find the best
1:02:59
coaches available regardless of who they are?
1:03:01
Yes, that's what everybody. Who's trying to wind us?
1:03:05
Yes, though it's a petty ass question because it's why aren't
1:03:11
you doing more for your people? The same way, it's Petty, when
1:03:15
you throw that question to, to a minority race candidate, right?
1:03:19
Like, stop it. It's a petty question.
1:03:23
I appreciate the petty question but I'm not going to see here
1:03:27
and and and throw shots at anybody who's trying to hire who
1:03:31
they believe to be the best people for their jobs.
1:03:34
Because it took a lot to get in that seat and you ain't trying
1:03:37
to lose it to make a point. Don't make any sense along those
1:03:42
lines when When vaguely becomes the heck that, you know, the
1:03:46
head coach? Is she supposed to hire five
1:03:49
minority, females, amazing women all, who are 55 Asian women?
1:03:54
Yes, all of them. Oh goodness.
1:04:00
Oh man. If I could give one thread of
1:04:04
advice to this chop beyond the topics and points that you all
1:04:11
made on this the other, the biggest one, That I know that
1:04:14
everyone talks about in the hiring process is we only want
1:04:18
to hire people that we know are going to be trustworthy and
1:04:22
loyal and that supersedes the points that you all made, just
1:04:25
out. And one of the common comments
1:04:30
that are made at thereafter are there on to whole bunch of
1:04:33
female coaches that we can trust, because they feel like
1:04:36
they're out to get their jobs or female coaches are just there to
1:04:41
supersede the, the line. Let's call it.
1:04:43
Way. And from female to female
1:04:47
comments are made about, you know, they're all just coming
1:04:51
from my job or backstabbing or bad-mouthing at that as a
1:04:56
up-and-coming female coach. We don't have to judge everyone
1:05:01
that we see. Hmm, we don't have to make the
1:05:04
comment of how they get that job or why are they there or what
1:05:07
did they do that? I didn't do.
1:05:09
It's uplifts move forward Embrace and learn there.
1:05:13
Away because that could be your next PATH.
1:05:16
So I know that's not the topic but I know that this is one of
1:05:20
the bigger barriers that female coaches encounter is, we can't
1:05:25
get ever get out of our own way and sometimes, so not to say
1:05:29
that's isolated to the female species.
1:05:31
Definitely happens to the male species just as often, if not
1:05:36
the same. So but yeah, so one more nugget
1:05:40
in there on top of that because I know I had one more pity
1:05:42
coming Partners - not Petty look.
1:05:48
Moving forward in coaching. We talk about mentors and
1:05:51
mentees a lot, right? It's got to be okay for you to
1:05:55
be a female coach and have a male Mentor.
1:05:59
It can't just be females. It's also got to be okay to be a
1:06:03
man. Be a male mentor and have a
1:06:05
female mentee. Right?
1:06:08
Like like it, like for whatever reason, the cross-gender
1:06:11
mentor-mentee thing, almost seems taboo sometimes.
1:06:14
And I'm kind of like to the point we've been all been making
1:06:18
about those who have the most experience broad stroke and
1:06:21
those who have the most success broad stroke, there are far more
1:06:25
males in that category than females.
1:06:28
So, if you want to learn from the best, right?
1:06:31
It may be a female, but it may also very well be a male.
1:06:34
And that's got to be okay. Right?
1:06:37
You can't feel like you're being talked down to because someone
1:06:40
is mentoring you. No, that's very true.
1:06:48
I just again, the question suggests that when person X gets
1:06:52
hired, the applicant, pool should all be coming from the,
1:06:56
the women in coaching seminar at the convention.
1:06:57
And that doesn't mean it doesn't make any sense at all.
1:07:04
Oh my God. Oh my God.
1:07:06
That was listen, that was a stroke of Genius right there.
1:07:09
That was spectacular. What I do, baby.
1:07:12
It's what I do. Anyways.
1:07:15
See you too. So you got, you got your all
1:07:18
Asian female applicant list. Prepared was on the hot seat.
1:07:31
Oh, damn. All right, go ahead.
1:07:36
All right. Would you rather have socks that
1:07:39
don't fit or underwear? That doesn't fit.
1:07:42
Oh my God. Certain people are laughing at
1:07:58
this because I've literally lived through this recently.
1:08:02
Oh my God, the answer is Is I would rather have socks that do
1:08:05
not fit. Underwear thing is no good, no
1:08:09
good at all. Oh my God.
1:08:12
All right. Would you rather carry an
1:08:14
umbrella? Rain suit.
1:08:19
I umbrellas. I mean, I might start the day
1:08:23
with one, but I'm not going into it with one.
1:08:25
It's going to disappear somewhere Crocs or slides Crocks
1:08:31
of trash slides are trashed. I don't want either one.
1:08:34
Oh my God. This guy.
1:08:38
But Crocs, have sport mode. The give me my case with semi
1:08:43
trucks. I'm good.
1:08:45
Oh the case with oh man the stories.
1:08:48

1:08:51
So side note, real quick first interaction with Clyde out of me
1:08:55
in this man walks up in case with I meant granted, I don't
1:08:58
know him yet like I know who he is but we don't know each other
1:09:00
yet. He's wearing the case with and I
1:09:02
was like, yeah. Yogurt, I guess you'll play
1:09:35
Ray-Bans all day. Sorry, Lamar Oakley's are
1:09:40
Oakley's. I feel like, are yours and
1:09:43
that's it. I don't enjoy the Oakleys.
1:09:47
I don't like how they fit that doesn't even sound like you.
1:09:50
You don't usually like inferior products.
1:09:53
They are. I mean right now, I'm in my Tom
1:09:56
Ford's but I do have Ray Bans. I don't have any Oakley's.
1:10:01

1:10:15

The Jeopardy music. D 2 position.
1:11:44

1:11:47
I think what you ask is what I take the top NAIA position or
1:11:50
the top D2 position, yes. D2 all day.
1:11:54
I'm a product of the vision to my first head coaching job was
1:11:57
in division. Two, I love division two.
1:12:00
I don't. I barely know what the NAIA is.
1:12:03
To be honest with. You feels very You'll be
1:12:33
okay. You are commissioner for a day
1:12:38
of what Sleek I'm going to tell you.
1:12:40
Okay, your beloved Pac-12. Roof.
1:12:44
Oh You get three moves to save it and save it permanently.
1:12:50
What are they? You mean?
1:12:52
Like bring people in moves, any three moves?
1:12:56
Well, one firing everybody that they just fired was probably a
1:13:00
good start. Wow.
1:13:04
Yeah. If you're unaware of that story,
1:13:06
Google it. The.
1:13:10
Jesus. Yeah.
1:13:12
They come. And they tried to Men In Black
1:13:14

1:13:24
It's well, got they little bit in trouble right now.
1:13:30
I'm going to get three moves, you only get three merge with
1:13:34
the big 12 and try to get them to adopt your name.
1:13:40
I mean, the this, the UCLA USC thing is that, that might have
1:13:47
just been the end of it because it's, you know, in today's
1:13:50
world, it's the TV markets that drive it.
1:13:52
There aren't like, what are you going to do?
1:13:55
But I'm sure you could bring them back.
1:13:57
Oh yeah. Do you got Those back, you have
1:14:00
to you have to get them back somehow.
1:14:03
I mean that's you can try to give him a Longhorns deal and
1:14:06
lift and let them run. Just run the conference 80/20 or
1:14:10
something. I don't know.
1:14:11
But no. I honestly like I think I would
1:14:17
hire I would hire a boy that just left the Big Ten.
1:14:23
Hmm definitely do that. I'd hire him.
1:14:28
You got to find, you got to find, you gotta merge.
1:14:33
You just, you have to merge. We need those into the big Pock.
1:14:38
They go. The big Epoch.
1:14:41
I like it. A big Epoch conference.
1:14:44
I like it. Yeah, I had higher.
1:14:47
I'd hire well. I am I forgetting his name
1:14:49
because he's brilliant and ivory, I'm a big fan of his, the
1:14:53
former Big Ten, commissioner who just dipped out for the new gig
1:14:57
I would hire him, I would create the big Epoch and And you keep
1:15:07
the to La schools. I mean, yes.
1:15:11
Yes, you can't keep him. You have to retrieve them have
1:15:16
to retrieve them somehow. Oh, Lord, no.
1:15:19
It's, it's a mess. I was right now.
1:15:23
It's a mess and I don't think it.
1:15:25
I don't think It ultimately folds just because, you know,
1:15:32
What else you going to do? But it could become so watered
1:15:34
down that it could just be a mid-major like it's two steps
1:15:38
away from being a major conference.
1:15:44
Yeah, we're about to have Pac-12 Conference games between Boise
1:15:48
State, and San Diego State. That's coming.
1:15:53
Yeah, more power to them, don't knock it, more power to, you
1:15:57
know what? Let me give you a slightly
1:15:59
different. I don't, I don't know how to do
1:16:02
it but they must get the new meteorites deal.
1:16:05
Correct. They have to get it right?
1:16:08
Yeah. Like you can't fumble it again.
1:16:11
You just can't Yeah, hot. Well Wow.
1:16:19

Like all day, I'm convinced. It was just day drinking across.
1:17:23
Oh, my goodness, like it was bad, it was really bad.
1:17:27
Like there's lines. Outside.
1:17:28
Walmart folks, buying new TVs, first of all, kind of stuff

1:19:51
So big heart, beep rocks, all of that.

Another one we are, you gonna have to do some math off camera?
1:20:09
But I feel like we are rapidly approaching show.
1:20:12
Number 150, I'm pretty sure will I work you out?
1:20:18
No, I don't think so because we started in March. 52 times. 3 is
1:20:23
156. So we're we should be right
1:20:27
around. 150. You have to do some math and we
1:20:30
get off the show, okay? I used to keep it as a running
1:20:34
number and then I couldn't wait till we get off the show that
1:20:36
tell her that. That was scrolling anyhow.
1:20:42
Well, everyone have fun this weekend Mark all around for
