• 4:31
  Speaker 6: Malick feel the difference. I've gotten in arguments about this before,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: and it has to do with what towel you use
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: getting out of shower, how you deal with that tool specifically,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: how often do you wash them? And I have I
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: will tell you my answer to this, but I did
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: want to go around the room until I got to
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: this store. How often do you wash your bath towel? Okay?
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: So I use two different towels.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: Depending on this, I'm gonna guess you have a hair
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: towel and the regular towel.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: Okay, So I only washed my hair three times a week,
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: maybe less depending on the week. My that's how I'll
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: probably wash once a week because I only use it
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: three times in the week.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: My body towel, I.
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: Will probably use it for one two to three days
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: and then I'll wash it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: I only go that two to three days.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I can go weeks, but then again, then again,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I shower every other day.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: Thank God.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: I thought I thought I was going to be I
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: thought I was going to be the.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Weird one, if it's starting to wow, if it's starting
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to show a little you know, I don't go too
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: too long. Here's here's my deal though, and this is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: not original material here. Okay, if you get in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: shower to get clean, and then you supposedly are clean
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the second you step out of the shower, how is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: your towel getting dirty?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: See that's what I can tell you. Oh no, all right,
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: go ahead.
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: So the reason why your towel gets dirty is whenever
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: you dry off the water on you, it then proceeds
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: to mildew. The mildew creates bacteria to build up on
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: your towel, and that's how it gets dirty.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we're not talking dirt. We're talking phil.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: You're talking Yeah, you're talking Disgustyle.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: Disgusting Phil was when you use them in the shower,
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: they tell you and you put soap on it to
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: to use it once and wash it after you've used
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: it once, because between the soap and the water and
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: it being fully soaked, immediate mildews as soon as you
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: from the shower.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Thing is well, I don't know that you're wrong, because
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: if you shower once.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Every other day, I do I shower more than that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, but again and whenever. I don't think that's crazy.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: By the way, I think that you shower when you
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: need to shower. I think you you you know when
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: it's time to shower.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You I can use a towel a couple of weeks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: My biggest problem with this is, uh, when my wife
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: suddenly sides out of the blue that she's gonna play
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Susie Homemaker and start washing the towels, I will not
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: realize that she has taken the towel until I get
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: out of the shower and reach for it and it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not there, and it's gone. And then I have to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: very carefully slide myself across the slick tile floor to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: get to a new towel, and and and I'm not
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as spry as I used to be. I'm realizing that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm getting toward the age where a slip fall and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a broken hip is that's possible.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's unsafe for you to be doing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That so in some age, So that irritates me, But yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I go a couple three weeks.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Nine, seven, nine, five, sixteen, twenty. I do have the
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: answer about what's most common. But before we get to that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: I did want to hear from some of you guys,
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: And we'll put it this way. How many uses uses
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: might be the best way?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Probably so like not.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Not links the time? How many showers does it take
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: before you will either change the towel, wash the towel,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: either of the two. Like, what is that number for you?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Nine seventy nine six nine five sixteen twenty Riley saying
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: they get filthy almost immediately.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with Riley, with what she said, I might quit
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: using towels altogether. Yeah, I gotta go the blow dryer. No,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I've got a door from the bedroom out to the backyard.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'll just go out and let the sun do exactly.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Air drying is a.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: Air drying is an option.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It seems more sanitary now that she's mentioned funk guys
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and bacteria.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: But if you want to weigh in, hit us up
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: sixteen twenty nine four fivew So how often? How how
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: many showers do you go through before you either wash
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: or change the towel that you are using. We got
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: some one and duns that are in there, which.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Jason, Jason, I know and done.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: I don't understand that it all. Fred says about every
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: two weeks, and of course I'm single. I don't know
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: that's that crazy.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think two weeks is out of the question.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I've I have always been a Again, yes they do.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I get it. I get Riley's Riley's point is valid.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: They get mildewy and they will start to smell. When
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: that occurs, that's the time when you chunk. Whenever that
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: maybe that is the time like this, Yeah, this feels
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: a little gross out. It goes get a new one.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Text message just came in. Tell you two showers per
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: day and one towel.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Per another one and done.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Dude, as soon as I'm drying off, the towel goes
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in the dirty clothes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: It looks like we're split between you either change it
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: every day or or you go weeks at a time.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're you're using not a lot of middle ground. You're
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: using the Nietzschee towel. If it doesn't kill you, it
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: makes you stronger.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Uh okay, So here's this. Forty percent of people said that, yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: about one one to three showers and it's going in
• 9:58

• 11:03
  Speaker 6: So this gentleman who is being really known for this quote,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to read the whole quote, but I

  Speaker 6: he called in to a like basically some state office.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: But he was he pointed this threat at the governor
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: and some of the governor's people. I'm a stab all
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: of you. Unlock my expletive anime because he said that
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: for some reason, the eighteen and up laws that Texas
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: has was preventing him from other states, not.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, and so there's there's these controls now in
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: place that prevents you from accessing certain sites, yes, that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: don't have age verifications. Right, exactly right, to protect the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: kids from the anime.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I'm going to play. So he got arrested, obviously, because
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: you can't threaten to and I quote, I'm a stab
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: all of you. But here's the uh, here's the guy
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: after he got out of jail. It's affecting everybody, even
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: over the ages of eighteen.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: I had a mental breakdown.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day. I allegedly left the voicemail.
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: I don't even remember what I said doing the thing.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I don't even.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: Feel like that was the exact words that I said.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I'd have to listen to the recording
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: over again.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: No, I'm pretty sure those were the exact words.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: That's the thing recording. You can just play it back
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: by dude. I'm sorry you couldn't log.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Into it's kind of like it's kind of like verification
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of handwriting. Yeah, all right, if you're listening to him
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: talking now and then you listen back to what the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: quote was, I'm gonna stab you, and then he says,
• 12:42

  Speaker 6: This is an are he is is physically, he is
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: a physical adult. Will I don't know what to say besides.

  Speaker 1: being able to access anime.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Because he couldn't get the anime.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Mental breakdowns because you can't get something should be reserved

• 13:18
  Speaker 6: and it takes a hospital hostage, it was because a

• 23:01
  Speaker 6: So what do you guys do?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: As board members on the first day, is there is
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: there a routine? Is there a tradition or or a
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: gather Dude? Do you show up and everyone and with
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: the rest of the parents of the community and throw
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: a massive rage or what what happens?
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: Well, we have we have the convocation and community PEP
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: rally at the end of last week was.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: Which was a huge kickoff for the district.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: And I think on the first day of school board
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: members kind of identify campuses that they want to visit,
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: and everybody really just goes out and tries to spend
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: time in the district on their own.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: However they choose excellent. What's the big what? What are
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: the big things you're looking forward to this year? What's
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: gonna What do you think this year holds for Brian Irostein.
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: I think it's a great year for us. We have
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: We've done a lot of work just in the boardroom,
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: UH to make some decisions that create efficiencies for our district,
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: and but I think outside of the district, we're taking
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: approach to just continue to work on academic improvement and
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: getting our students to achieve in the classroom and equipping
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: our staff and teachers with things that they need to
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: continue to just forge ahead and get stronger and better
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: as a district. It's an exciting time. I'm excited about
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: our leadership and really just a lot of great things
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: happening in our school district that I know this is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: going to be a great year for us.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: As the last academic year was closing out, and I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: believe it is part of the beginning of the summer.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I felt like Brian id was really on the cutting
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: edge of getting in front of school vouchers and being
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: able to utilize those for bringing people in from out
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of district and incorporating online learning and other things that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you guys were doing. How's that program advancing now that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the school year has begun.
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: You know, I've spent a lot of time up at
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: the school district over the summer.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I don't work there every day, but I do spend
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: a lot of.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: Time there with our administration, and it was exciting to
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: see the the seriousness that our staff took in terms
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: of how we are are approaching this, uh, this online
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: learning program and their preparation for this. And UH, we've
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: had a number of students enroll into this. Some we're
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: already in brian Isedty and quite a few are coming
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: from outside of our district. Uh. The introduction to with
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: the parents to walk through the virtual learning academy was
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: a success and a lot of good feedback from that experience.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: So it is.
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: It is an innovative approach to learning, and I think
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: we are on the forefront of what's happening in our
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: region in terms of who's offering this program. It's you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: it's things are changing and it's a different way of
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: looking at it. But I'm excited and proud that our
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: district really took UH took strong look at it and
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: invested in the time into making it what it is
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: going to be. And I'm excited about it. I think
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: it's going to be a great success this year.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I think, in my own personal opinion, I got to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: give you guys credit for that. When all that stuff
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: started coming out and the virtual programs were being talked about,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was an incredible thing to do,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and I think you guys are on the cutting edge
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of it, So congratulations for that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: I think we try to offer as many opportunities as
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: we can for students to UH for enrichment and how
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: they approach education, and this is just another another avenue
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: that they can choose.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: And one of the things we're talking about today in news,
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: y'all voted to add a vatree to the November ballot,
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: which is essentially a voter approval tax rate election. And
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: what's the thought behind that. I know we were looking
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: to target this money towards daily operations. What was y'all's
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: frame of mind in terms of wanting to go in
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: this direction?
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: This was This is something that as a board member,
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: I've given a great deal of thought and it's something
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: that we take very seriously. I mean, asking for a
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: tax increase on our community is challenging and it's a
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: difficult thing to do, and I think as a board
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: member you have to you have.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: To serve in two roles.
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: You have to serve the community and what's in the
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: best interest of the community and ensure that our students
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: are receiving a great education. And you also have to
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: look at what's going to position brian Ist for success
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: long term, and you have to evaluate both of those
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: things at the same time. Over the last I would
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: guess six to eight months, we've been a strategic planning
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: process and brought our community into the boardroom. It's families,
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: business leaders, students, staff to discuss.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: How can we.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: Increase our ins and operations budget to compensate teachers more.
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: That was the main question that was asked of us,
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: is how can we increase pay for our staff and
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: also just how can we protect our programs that we
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: offer our students. Everyone loves the programs that we offer.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: We offer so many great things and with the state,
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: with the State of Affairs, with funding across the state,
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: and I hope that our community is aware of how
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: that's taking shape. But through inflation, state mandates that are
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: unfunded in a lot, and without increasing the maintenance and
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: operations budget for school districts. Since twenty nineteen, everywhere, we're
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: seeing school closures, reduction enforced, cutting student programs, charging fees
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: to participate in extracurricular activities, charging fees for transportation.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of very difficult.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: Things that are happening across a state in school districts
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: that are just like us.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: We're not immune to these challenges.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Do you feel that the public is aware of those challenges,
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: because I I don't know that. I feel like there's
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: as much awareness as there probably should be of how
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: chaotic it's becoming.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: You know, And it's hard to say. It's hard to
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: say how people receive that information. And I think because
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: I'm on a school board, I'm more likely to those
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: things to pop up in my social feed or however
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: I receive that information.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Your algorithm is too.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: My algorithm is different because I'm you know, I'm digesting
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: that type of content. But I don't know if our
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: community understands that, you know, the decisions that are being
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: made in Austin are impacting school districts everywhere. And it's
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: not just in the big cities. These are small districts
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: that serve the majority of students in every community.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: And the decisions that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: Have been made or are really really causing us to
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: use some serious challenges in terms of how we use
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: funding in our district.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: And you talk about the first thing that came up,
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: which you can staff pay and how you can remain
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: competitive with keeping educators compensated as best we can with
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: all the other challenges you're mentioning in terms of like
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: the district's face inflation, things costing more, and yeah, to
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: do that, obviously there's going to have to be some funding.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: I want to say, the estimated impact, what was it?
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Two cents per one hundred dollars valuation is what we
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: were looking at. And then the goal would be to
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: generate five point five million a year to be able
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: to handle some of this stuff.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Is that correct?
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: School finances is very complex and hard to understand, but
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: you're you're given what they call golden pennies as a district,
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: and these are this is the mechanism that a district
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: is allowed to increase our maintenance and operations budget. You
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: have a limited number of pennies, and what those pennies
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: mean is that you can increase your maintenance and operations
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: budget if the community votes to approve that, and with
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: that approval, the state kicks in additional funding as well
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: on top of that to allow us to expand our
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: maintenance and operations budget.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I'm sure we're going to be talking about this a
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: little more coming up closer to November, but yeah, I
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: know it's very important stuff. I know it's something that's
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: on a lot of people's minds in Terming in terms
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: of preserving what we have with brian ID and growing
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: and growing it, Yeah, making it better every single year.
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: I think it's important for the community to know that
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: over the last ten years, our tax rate has decreased
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: thirty percent. We have been a very fiscally conservative district
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: and the result of that is that the starting teacher's
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: salary for surrounding districts in the Houston market is ten
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: to thirteen thousand dollars higher than what we're able to
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: offer currently and.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: A big swing.
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: And when you're talking about teacher shortages and teachers that
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: are not entering the field as frequently as they as
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: they traditionally have been, and you're competing with those Houston markets.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: It's very hard to attract those teachers and staff. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: not only that, but we need to reward and compensate
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: our staff that has been with us and has served
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: us so well and worked incredibly hard. We need to
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: compensate those people more. And that's a big part of
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: what this decision means.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: I again, I.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Could not agree more.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Being married to a teacher, I'm all for that.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: It's a huge issue. I love the way you guys
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: are tackling it. And I should know how many students
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: you have in Brian, but I know it's a lot.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Do you have an exact number off the top of
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: your head that we deal with every.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's evolved a little bit.
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: We usually say sixteen thousand, but I think it's a
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: little bit less than that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of kids, man, a lot of kids.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: I'm glad to have them back in school, and glad
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: to have our teachers back in school. And again, thank
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: you so much for coming in. Is there anything else
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: we want to get to today?
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: I just want everyone to know that we have been
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: working over the last several years to do business better
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: in Brian, iiced. We have reduced a six million deficit
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: in the twenty five to twenty six budget. We've balanced
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: the twenty six twenty seven budget. This was done through
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: aided by the sale of property, and we've also it
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: was a difficult decision, but we did not compensate our
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: teachers and staff as much as we wanted to. But
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: we are more efficient. We're getting stronger as a district.
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: But I think there's a lot we can do to
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: make ourselves more competitive, competitive and just strengthen for the
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: long term. I'm excited about everything that's happening in Brian, iiced.
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: I'm confident in the direction we're headed, and we really
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: just needed the community support to help us in this
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: effort and there's great things to come.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Wonderful.
• 34:04

• 35:39
  Speaker 1: two gals. They're in a speedboat somewhere on vacation and

  Speaker 6: Would you like to hear Dwayne the Rock Johnson's debut single,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Oh Dear God?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: He probably not.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I thought this was I thought this was clickbait. Yesterday
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: people were like, hey, I think the Rock is going
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: to try to do a music career, and I was like, no,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: he's not, No, he's not. I get it. He's sang

  Speaker 6: is is a billion dollar Hollywood property. Even those movies
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: don't really hit like they used to. And he's already
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: on the board of TKO. He doesn't need another career.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: He doesn't own sail across the the world. I think
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing some auto tuneshing you cay.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: It's called your dad is dedicated to his daughters because
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Dwayne loves a cheap crowd pop.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: He does, I mean, should be dedicated to your daughters. Right,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I get it, you're gonna put out a song that way.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I understand what you're doing here, Dwayne.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: I mean again, it's like, I can't disagree with that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: It's a beautiful thing. It's a nice centiment, beautiful thing.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: How insane is this guy behind the scenes? Like, you

• 37:22
  Speaker 1: going to be a horse jockey.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: Genuinely, what's left, Dwayne? What's left? What are you gonna do?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: It would be a whole new career of a show
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of Dwayne trying every job on the plane.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Can we do dirty jobs with Dwayne Johnson?
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: You don't want to do that because micro Mike's already
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: done that, and that's Mike's thing, but you could come
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: up with something.
• 37:40

• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I hear is the rock. I hear the rock from
