• 0:46
  which if you've been paying attention, you know what that
• 0:48
  means. He doesn't know yet.
• 0:49
  I don't think so. We'll sit here at the end
• 0:50
  introduce yourself here to to our listeners.
• 0:52
  I. Mean.
• 0:53
  It's Phil Redford for For Scott Community.
• 0:55
  And you are most famous for the straight brim hat and and you
• 1:03
  know I'm going to leave that subject for a little bit later.
• 1:05
  So let's start with what are you doing here at the convention?
• 1:08
  What are like the things that you are like, not miss, you're
• 1:11
  not missing. The supposiums.
• 1:13
  I like learning more stuff about that.
• 1:14
  Yeah, so. And who's the one that you
• 1:15
  circled? Like, I ain't missing this one.
• 1:19
  You just know you're going. I'm going one day.
• 1:22
  You know, it's cool. You're going to be on that
• 1:24
  stage. I mean that's 100% like I mean
• 1:27
  like it's a no brainer. You know I'm a gambling man.
• 1:30
  So those are odds and I would put put heavily into and and is
• 1:34
  this your first year, that's my third year, third year, OK so.
• 1:37
  Kobe is my first year. OK, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:40
  All right. Yeah.
• 1:40
  And what do you most enjoy like you know?
• 1:43
  Because what? About that, Why?
• 1:47
  Why that? Just match was the highly pro
• 1:48
  for track and field, the best athletes in the world and all
• 1:51
  the other alumni and track athletes there coaches.
• 1:53
  That's great. You know, I like to say it the
• 1:55
  other way around, that the Heisman is the Bowerman for
• 1:58
  football. It really is.
• 1:58
  I like to just get more legitimacy to what they're doing
• 2:01
  here. Well, my man Bill here was a
• 2:05
  Gill Athletic Connections alum. So again, whatever podcast app
• 2:08
  you like to listen to, podcast, just Google, excuse me, Google
• 2:11
  search his name and Gill and it'll pop right up or right here
• 2:14
  on YouTube as well. Really had a blast with you on
• 2:17
  the podcast, man. That was like our first time
• 2:18
  kind of getting to know each other.
• 2:19
  And it could be a little nerve wracking, because you're kind of
• 2:21
  spilling your guts. To a stranger at that point,
• 2:23
  like you said, we're best friends now so it's OK yeah.
• 2:25
  What do you remember the most about the the podcast?
• 2:28
  Not necessarily, maybe like a story you told or anything like
• 2:31
  that, but the app like after it published, was there any kind of
• 2:34
  cool story or? People.
• 2:35
  That's really cool, other than making that ticket still.
• 2:41
  But other than that, I don't think so.
• 2:47
  We're going to move right on to our next subject here.
• 2:49
  So I've got 100. Random.
• 2:50
  I mean random questions numbered one through 100.
• 2:53
  Don't you get to pick the number one through 100?
• 2:57
  Why nine? It's my.
• 2:58
  Favorite number? OK, now football number.
• 3:00
  OK, that's everybody's answer so far.
• 3:02
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Chiching, what
• 3:04
  currently cost money, It should be free to everyone.
• 3:08
  Apartments. Really.
• 3:11
  Now that's a really. You answered me quickly.
• 3:14
  That's a well thought out answer.
• 3:16
  I would have went with Internet. Cuz I'm shallow, you went with
• 3:18
  apartments, which is very true, yeah.
• 3:21
  Every month to. Realize.
• 3:23
  Yeah, yeah. And with housing costs, it ain't
• 3:25
  like, well, just go by hell, yeah, in the down payment.
• 3:28
  That's really a little hot out, man.
• 3:29
  Like I knew you, you know. Different.
• 3:32
  You'd have a whole different answer.
• 3:33
  OK before we sign off, though, I do want to say, you know,
• 3:36
  because I talked about something that you're famous for and I
• 3:38
  made, I didn't have thought of, you know, the hat and all that
• 3:40
  in the shades and all that kind of stuff.
• 3:42
  But you also are famous for at least in my world you know we
• 3:46
  hang out a lot on Twitter right together is I don't know how to
• 3:49
  put this you're kind of a a no pull the punches kind of guy
• 3:53
  you're you're you're the kind of guy that'll make a post and say
• 3:55
  hey sorry not sorry. Yeah.
• 3:57
  And it's. Always about things that are
• 3:59
  very pertinent to our sport. It's not off the wall crazy.
• 4:03
  Like what's this guy thinking about?
• 4:04
  It's like, hey, you know you need to step up and do here.
• 4:06
  Sorry, not sorry. Hey, if you want a scholarship,
• 4:08
  well then you better do this. Etc etc.
• 4:10
  So where does that attitude come from?
• 4:12
  Because some people can get shy away, you know you have to get
• 4:16
  smacked down everyone. When you push, that means people
• 4:18
  push back. But what?
• 4:20
  What keeps you? Kind of true and and you know,
• 4:23
  funny north of your true north, that's who you are.
• 4:26
  So how do you continue moving forward and who you are?
• 4:28
  I like being different from everybody else, like politically
• 4:31
  correct. I'm the guy going to say what I
• 4:33
  have to say on my mind right away and I let you know.
• 4:35
  I feel and I don't hide my feelings by the time.
• 4:38
  And so if I feel it strongly about it, I'll let you know
• 4:40
  about. That do you ever find positive?
• 4:43
  I know you do, but what has been the most positive from that?
• 4:47
  What people come to me and tell me I felt the same way or I
• 4:49
  wanted to say that, but you said it for me.
• 4:51
  So thank you for saying that and made its me to your life.
• 4:54
  Yeah, yeah, I was thinking and you tell me if this is true in
• 4:57
  your case. So people who become your
• 5:00
  friends are really friends because boy, you tell them works
• 5:04
  it all here. So I mean.
• 5:06
  Be ready for it. If you don't like them, then
• 5:07
  okay you don't be friends. With them exactly.
• 5:10
  So as we end here another 60 seconds or so, what are you most
• 5:14
  excited for in 2023 for track and field for Fort Scott?
• 5:18
  We have a great freshman class coming in with our sophomores,
• 5:21
  getting better and developing. I think we're done on probably 3
• 5:23
  pretty good indoors. And so that's again the first
• 5:25
  time in school history we're looking at the original power.
• 5:29
  Oldest Barton and the Cloud. And.
• 5:31
  So we're not backing on anybody. I love it.
• 5:34
  You know, as the former coach in Neosho County, it hurt me that
• 5:36
  you didn't say no. The old Neosho counties.
• 5:38
  No, we weren't. We weren't.
• 5:40
  We couldn't be his, his freshman team.
• 5:42
  So we could have done it. All right, my man.
• 5:44
  We get a selfie to end the interview today.
• 5:47
  Thank you so much for being in the show, man.
• 5:49
  Appreciate you're going to do great, man.
• 5:52
  Get another. Oh, wait, no, no, no.
• 5:53
  Sit back down. Hold on.
• 5:54
  Because I can't forget this and I keep forgetting this.
• 5:57
  So. You were an alum of the podcast.
• 5:59
  Thanks again for being on the show.
• 6:01
  You know, that was a grueling drilling 2 hours.
• 6:04
  You know, you had to go through your whole history and your
• 6:06
  whole story, and you were so patient.
• 6:08
  You did a great job there. So for the alums of the podcast
• 6:12
  for Tonight Only, I'm allowing you to flip the script and you
• 6:14
  get to ask me one question. Alright, you're superhero.
• 6:18
  What will be? I just watched Wakanda Forever
• 6:23
  and that was really good, man. Really.
• 6:26
  Yeah. I didn't cry because I'm, I'm
• 6:28
  not emotional. I can sit something else there
• 6:31
  and got in trouble. But I just, you know, I'm, I'm
• 6:32
  looking pretty easy. If I was gonna be any superhero,
• 6:37
  I feel like there's an obvious answer that I'm just missing.
• 6:39
  I'm gonna go with, you know, I thought Spiderman was kind of
• 6:43
  cool. I like the strength and the and
• 6:45
  I don't think I could fly around like that.
• 6:47
  You know the the webs and stuff like that.
• 6:49
  I'd probably be. I'd probably be like oh.
• 6:55
  Wow. I don't know why.
• 6:57
  Yeah, you kind of put me in the spot there.
• 6:59
  That was pretty good. I know I should probably be
• 7:01
  thinking of these questions more and more.
• 7:03
  Alright man, you stumped me. Good job.
• 7:05
  I didn't think he would actually anybody would stump me.
• 7:09
  I feel like, you know, most people would be pretty nice, but
• 7:11
  he was pretty mean. With what we were doing there
• 7:14
  and how we you just flip the script there.
