  Happy, Happy Tuesday, As they say.
• 0:08
  In Wisconsin, it's Tuesday. Tuesday.
• 0:13
  Yeah, Don't you know? Yeah.
• 0:15
  All right, everybody. Today's subject matter is how do
• 0:27
  you take winning and losing? The Indiana Hoosiers, they won
• 0:35
  their very first ever national championship.
• 0:41
  The college football team, they won 16 games and they lost zero.
• 0:47
  They won every game and the top that the coach is only in his
• 0:54
  second year. So he he set a new track record.
• 1:00
  He joined the team as the head coach and in his second year, he
• 1:05
  turned A-Team around that has never won the national
• 1:11
  championship and and they they won.
• 1:14
  So there's a lot of stories here.
• 1:17
  Brand new coach comes in turns the complete program around the
• 1:25
  the quarterback immediately we'll go to the NFL.
• 1:29
  They say, you know, college football is so much different
• 1:37
  than the NFL. It's sometimes the quarterback
• 1:45
  for the colleges cannot make it in the NFL.
• 1:50
  Kind of reminds me of NASCAR. You know, the the NASCAR
• 1:59
  O'Reilly Auto parts cars. They're you know, they're a lot
• 2:04
  different. And sometimes a driver going
• 2:08
  from the O'Reilly Auto parts series to the Cup Series, you
• 2:12
  know, it's just, it's just a tall mountain.
• 2:15
  Sometimes takes a little bit. I've seen them in the NFL.
• 2:20
  I've seen them, you know, acquire a great quarterback from
• 2:27
  college, start him in the first one or two games and then bench
• 2:31
  him right away. Bench a winning quarterback.
• 2:37
  Did did you know that they, they benched John Elway.
• 2:41
  John Elway, the two time Super Bowl champion with the with
• 2:47
  Denver, he made it, he made it to the NFL and then they they
• 2:52
  benched him like after one or three games, he struggled
• 2:57
  mightily, but then he made it at the very end of his career and
• 3:02
  he won it all. People win differently and
• 3:07
  people take winning differently. That's my subject matter of
• 3:10
  today. Now I'm at the age now where
• 3:14
  I've seen a lot and I'd like to comment on this, rightfully so.
• 3:21
  Everybody from Indiana, they're out of breath, they're jacked up
• 3:25
  on sun Drop and they're you know who else is it came from
• 3:32
  Indiana? Steve Kinser, Bloomington's
• 3:34
  doing it tonight. Transfer portal.
• 3:39
  All these, all these words are coming up now.
• 3:41
  Everybody's trying to justify, tell you why they won.
• 3:48
  See, when you win and you're not the chosen 1, then they tell you
• 3:54
  why you won, and then they kind of try to tell you why you
• 3:58
  shouldn't have won. Well, the reason they won, you
• 4:01
  know, or the reason they lost. See what I'm saying?
• 4:09
  It's kind of the art of winning and losing.
• 4:11
  And if you win or you lose, they make a big old show about it.
• 4:15
  Here's why they won. You know why the mom didn't get,
• 4:18
  didn't get up and cheer? Because she can't.
• 4:21
  That's why the dad sat down next to her.
• 4:26
  All these stories come out. You know, the quarterback his
• 4:29
  mom can't stand. So the dad sits with her
• 4:32
  wonderful story, all these little, you know, sage steel.
• 4:39
  She likes Indiana, so she's wearing her Indiana stuff on TV
• 4:44
  today. I want to talk about how people
• 4:52
  take winning. So Indiana's just going along in
• 4:57
  their life, You know, they're just going along.
• 4:59
  Yeah. We're just a normal little
• 5:01
  little college here. And then all of a sudden they
• 5:02
  tweak a rule and all of a sudden they're 16 other national
• 5:05
  champions. It's wonderful.
• 5:11
  Every little victory I have, I celebrate.
• 5:15
  I I win a little, they call it a little.
• 5:18
  Of course, I've heard some of the greats go.
• 5:20
  There are no little wins. We try to downplay.
• 5:25
  Sorry, sorry, I cussed. You'll notice how people try to
• 5:32
  justify the great Dick Trickle would say to me, my boy, it's
• 5:37
  all and how you justify it. So now, now all day today, maybe
• 5:43
  all day tomorrow, everybody will tell you, like I said, they'll
• 5:47
  tell you what they think and they want to get it out.
• 5:49
  This is why. This is what But one thing I've
• 5:52
  learned about winning and I and I told, and you've heard this
• 5:55
  before, maybe five years ago, whenever I started doing coffee
• 6:00
  with Kenny. I have some friends from Chicago
• 6:04
  and you know, the Chicago Cubs, the baseball team, they had not
• 6:09
  won a World Series in like 102 years, 102 years.
• 6:15
  The Cubs have never won a World Series.
• 6:19
  And I've got lots of friends in Chicago.
• 6:21
  And I said to them respectfully, I said be careful.
• 6:26
  I said, don't get so jacked up on sun drop.
• 6:30
  I said when you win the World Series, like a day later that
• 6:36
  it's just over. Sure enough, that friend said to
• 6:40
  me, man, you're right. We won the World Series and like
• 6:45
  two days later, everybody's back at work.
• 6:47
  You know, Monday or whatever day it was, it might have taken off,
• 6:50
  but then then you just go back to normal life.
• 6:54
  Nobody solved World Peace. It's fun, it's a game, but you
• 7:02
  see all the, you see all the, the mind games that competition
• 7:08
  plays with you. Here's why you won.
• 7:10
  Here's why you didn't win. Yeah.
• 7:13
  And it's over. Did you know Aaron Rodgers?
• 7:18
  That's what happened to him. I said this about two months
• 7:21
  ago. They, you know, basically they
• 7:25
  had a Netflix special. And it's kind of like Aaron
• 7:27
  Rodgers, why are you? Why are you different?
• 7:29
  What's wrong with you? He goes.
• 7:31
  What happened was I thought that when I win the Super Bowl that
• 7:36
  I, you know, I could solve all world's problems.
• 7:39
  I'd be the greatest of all time. And after you win it all, you
• 7:44
  realize, oh, that's it. There's no bells or whistles.
• 7:53
  There are for a little bit. You know, they go to Disney
• 7:56
  World. But eventually, so many days,
• 7:59
  you know, respond right here. How?
• 8:01
  How many days later? Besides your whole life?
• 8:04
  I get it. I've been waiting for my team to
• 8:07
  win their whole life. I've been pretty lucky here in
• 8:12
  Saint Louis. We, we, we're not a good city.
• 8:16
  We're, we love our city, but we're not great.
• 8:19
  But we were lucky to see the LA Rams win the Super Bowl here.
• 8:24
  They won the Super Bowl, but then we wanted to win another
• 8:27
  Super Bowl. And we were equally devastated
• 8:33
  that we lost to the New England Patriots.
• 8:36
  But my Saint Louis Rams one against the Tennessee Titans.
• 8:42
  But when we won against the Tennessee Titans and we were the
• 8:44
  greatest of all time, You see this happen with Larry
• 8:47
  McReynolds and his Roll Tide. I'm Alabama.
• 8:50
  We're the greatest football team.
• 8:52
  We should win all the games and it just never ends.
• 8:58
  My baseball Cardinals are 11 time world champion Saint Louis
• 9:02
  Cardinals. So when we lose here, it's like,
• 9:04
  oh, I got very lucky with the Saint Louis Blues.
• 9:09
  Would we win the 2019 seventeen? We were the Stanley Cup
• 9:14
  champions. And then you just realize just
• 9:18
  just Mosey on. I'll leave you with this.
• 9:23
  I learned something and I always thought it, but I heard somebody
• 9:27
  say it. They said the thrill of going on
• 9:29
  vacation is getting ready for the vacation.
• 9:34
  Actually, not when you're on it. You know, get your new tennis
• 9:37
  shoes, get your passport ready, getting everything ready.
• 9:44
  That's really the thrill of going on vacation.
• 9:46
  We win. Oh, don't act like you're a
• 9:48
  winner. Act like you've been here
• 9:49
  before. Downplay the win.
• 9:52
  You hear it all, don't you? Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
