• 0:23
  Speaker 2: How are we doing?
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Listen?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Before we came on the air, you said something that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was concerning to me, also interesting, kind of funny imagining it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: But you are going on vacation a couple of weeks.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You're from England, You're going to visit your family in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: northern England.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: How are you preparing to go visit your family?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: We're putting this on air.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I'm preparing in many ways, but the main way is
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I've been drinking before going and I'm not, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: chat out the biggest drinker. Obviously, there's other things I
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: like more than drinking. And for this trip though, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: know I'm going to be drinking, so I have been
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: preparing my body with you know, beers and a little
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: bit of whiskey because where I'm going is basically that's
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: what I'm gonna be drinking. So yeah, I am getting
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: ready to head up to Edinburgh, and basically Edinburgh is
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: one hundred bars on one street and I'm going to
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: be seen around half of those, god willing, and I
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: don't know three day times. So I'm looking forward to
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: visiting Edinburgh, the history of Edinburgh, and drinking my way
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: down one street again. One hundred bars on one street
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: in Edinburgh. It doesn't even sound real.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And how did you feel for your preparations when you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: woke up this morning?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I did the I did a puke and rally puked
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: and then had a beer with eggs. So I'm telling you, Chad,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I am I'm getting right back into it. Kegs and eggs.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: It's the simple man's version. Just a couple of beers
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and eggs.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: How much did you drink yesterday? And when did you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: stop to the point that you were puking this morning?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Not a lot?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Like it, like ten beers over the course of eight hours,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: So it's not crazy.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: That's not crazy. Like Chad, I'm a big guy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Like in my prime, like the college late high school days,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I would split a thirty pack with a buddy and
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: we would both kill it in two to three hours.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And like again, that's fifteen beers apiece in two to
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: three hours, So ten beers in ten hours.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's not I don't have a problem yet,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but I told you it's.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Different like in England. Even my cousins who don't really
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: drink much. My one cousin, she's probably you know, she's.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight now.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: By the time, she was probably early twenties. We buy
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: a giant pint of beer and I'm chatting with her,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and she finishes the entire beer. When I have I
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: have just taken two SIPs. Within like two minutes, I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: already buying her another beer. It's just a different culture
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: over there where they they put it back like water.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And I don't represent Americans well at all. I am
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: soft when it comes to drinking. I can last, but
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I cannot throw them back like that. So I'm just
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: my body ready for what's coming.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like I like that you're in training
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and you take this seriously and you're a professional in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: everything you do. It's kind of like when we had
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: cheese steaks together and I crushed mine and you could
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: barely get through yours.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: It's just how I know you don't have many brothers,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and no point that we mentioned this was a race.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: These cheese steaks and Chad goes, I finished mine before you.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I go, what's your point? Who cares?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Go?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I ate it faster than you did. I go,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Is it a competition? It's just you never mentioned it
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: was a race. But it finishes. It goes, Look I'm done,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: You're not. It's like, what are wrong with this guy?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Everything is a competition, Simon, It's always a competition. We
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: got a fun show today because this Sunday is Father's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Day and we're going to do something brand new here
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: We're doing our salute to.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Fathers who, by the way, obviously influenced us in tremendous
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: ways that led to how we do this show, why
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we do this show, what we're interested in. You're going
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to tell some stories. Matt Mitchell is going to tell
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: some stories. Part of me feels like this was just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: an excuse by Matt Mitchell to get Matt Mitchell on
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to the show.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, these are.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The men who molded us into the thriving titans of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: industry we've all become. I feel like, Matt Mitchell, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: want you to kick it off because more than anyone,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like you've been thinking about.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: This, thanks Chren.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I for sure I've been thinking about Father's Day
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: a lot, because this will be the first Father's Day
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: since I was since it applied to me personally, that
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I'll be able to enjoy it, or I can be
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: the centerpiece of the day and not my own father
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: or my father in law or a sick child of
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: some kind. It's really going to be all about me
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: on Father's Day, and I'll be doing the you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: the thing that I want to do, almost as much
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: as I actually want to do. Obviously number one would
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: be something that involves no children in sight. But short
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: of that, it'll be making my children do stuff that
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: only I want to do, the ultimate kind of Father's
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Day salute.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what that entails like.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You can't get them into the casino in in Milwaukee.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You can't get them on the apps to start making
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: bets for you. You can't take them to the bar where
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you're gonna drink all day and eat wings all day.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not even sure what that looks like.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm saying this from the perspective
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of someone who whose son graduated from high school yesterday,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: who walked into the house I saw the clock at
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: five twenty four am this morning, who is still sleeping.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And another son who is living in Philadelpha, his best
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: life away from me. So I'm barely parenting at this
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: point my fathering duties. I got three months until my
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: kids out of the house. I'm basically done. Father's Day
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is a symbol for me.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, your fatherhood approach is the same as your
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: managerial approach. You're just you're barely there, but you maintained
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: some of the title. So no, I can appreciate that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And I like to think of it as I like
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to think of it as hiring really great people, siring
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: really great people, giving them the general direction and vision
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of where I think we should collectively go as a unit,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as a family unit, whether that be at work or
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: at home, and then I like to let them make
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: their own choices and come to.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Me with the hard problems.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Is Barack Obama once said, you know, years ago, ansored
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the Sloan Sports Analytics conference Action Network did. It was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: our first full year as a company. It was March
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, and we sponsored the main room at
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the conference. It happened to be when Barack Obama was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: speaking speaking of fathers, this is a great father story.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I met Barack Obama. There's like a procession line to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: meet him, right, there's probably about fifty of us who
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: got to go before he went on stage and spend
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds with him and get our picture taken. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I thought so much about what I was going to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: say before I went on stay, before I met him,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and Peter Ernan, who knows Barack Obama, I was thinking
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: about mentioning him because at the time we had just
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: launched the action part of the Churning Group. I decided
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go a different route. I was going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to be hey, I'm from Chicago, but I felt like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that wasn't going to be sort of good enough. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: so then I told him a story about how I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was driving my kid, my older kid, home from something,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and we were talking about where I was going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be the following day, and I said, oh, by the way,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm meeting Barack Obama. I'm meeting President Obama. He goes, wow,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that's cool. And I said to him, Wow, you think
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'm cool because I'm meeting Barack Obama. And he says no,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I said, it's cool that you're meeting Barack Obama. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: didn't say that you're cool because you're meeting Barack Obama.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: So that's the story I decided to go with.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And so I've got thirty seconds to convey this to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama. And he looks at me and he's got like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: at this point, he's got his hand on his chin
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and he's sort of like finger on his lips, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he's he's thinking, he's processing, he's consternating, and he looks
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at me and he goes, so, your kid is saying,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the transitive property does not exist here. And I go,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that's what he's saying.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And he looks at me. He goes, he's wrong. Let's
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: take a.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Picture, grabs me by the shoulder, turns me around, big smile.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It was the smoothest fucking move you've ever seen in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: your entire life.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: It was glorious. And I went back home and I
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: told my kid that story.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I would send you straight to Guantanamo Bay for wasting
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: my time with that story if I was the president
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: of the United States. So but hey, somebody arrests this
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: cool cat. Hey snoopy with the sunglasses, Joe cool over here,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: straight to.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Guantanamo Anyways, anyways, Matt, you had a story to tell.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Well three things. One, it's a shame Brian Wilson died
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: before you could hear somebody rhyme, hires and sires, so
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: congratulations on that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Two, I do what are the most illiterate Yeah, podcast,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: gambling podcast, hiring the.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Best in siring the best is going to absolutely haunt me,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: so thank you for that. Two, I do want to
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: point out on behalf of the great state of Wisconsin.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: You absolutely can bring children into any bar if they're
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: escorted by a grown up, and they can stay as
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: long as they like, and legally speaking, they can be
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: served alcohol. It's the only state that that is legal.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: It's a great state. And finally, I do want to
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: provide a very very belated Happy Father's Day to a
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: great moment in sports history. Sixty one fathers days ago,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: future Hall of Famer and US Senator Jim Bunning of
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: the Philadelphia Phillies goes into a sweltering Shay Stadium in
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: New York with his wife and the eldest of his
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: seven children, and he throws the first regular season perfect
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: game in forty two years in Major League Baseball. Here's
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: to you, Jim Budding. I also want to point out,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: in true Father's Day style, his Father's Day, he pitches
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: a perfect game. It was the first game of a doubleheader.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Making these boys work a double on their own day unbelievable.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: But here's the U Philadelphia, Philly's legend.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Jim Budding, Well done. Did you have anything else you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: want to say? You want Simon to go to his story?
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: You know what, I'll tell one real quick to start
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: things off, because I want to point out that my dad,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: who's lovely and still with us and who I love dearly,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: I got my dad into sports, not the other way around.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: My dad hated sports, had no He's one of those
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: guys just had no interest in sports at all. The
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: only thing he hated more was gambling. That did not
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: work on me anyway. So sorry, dad. But when I
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: was a kid and I realized my dad wasn't like
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: built to be a fan, was when I started playing sports,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: and he would just get so consumed by anxiety if
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: a game was close that he couldn't like, he couldn't
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: stand it. It would feel like he was getting squeezed
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: to death. So when I started playing basketball as a
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: middle schooler. I was total dog shit. The teams were
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: total dog shit. I was tall, but I was totally useless,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: and we'd lose every game. But if it was ever close,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: i'd look over into the stands in the gym or whatever,
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: and my dad would be getting up to leave. He
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: would just extricate himself from the situation. And our home
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: gym had a little had a door at one end
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: that led to a like the school kitchen and had
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: a little window in it. But he would just leave
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: if it was close. He would just bounce and go
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: pace around in the dark in this in this kitchen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: But he could still see the scoreboard from that little window,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: so he'd know when the game kind of was wrapping up.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: And one game, it was really close late, which was
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: unusual for us, and I get fouled and I have
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: a chance to tie the game late, and I was
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: really nervous because again I wasn't very good. And I
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: look over and my dad's obviously gone, and I'm like
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: sad because like, oh, this could be my big moment.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: My Dad's not gonna see it. That's too bad. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I'm lining up to shoot the free throws. I look
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: over and I see my dad's head pop into that
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: little window in the door, and I felt such an
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: incredible wave of relief that like, there's my old man,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: he's gonna see me. I'm here. I was so relaxed,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: and because of that, I was able to absolutely brick
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: the shit out of both of those free throws in
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: humiliating fashion. And we lost the game by two points.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So that story had ended earnestly with you making the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: free throws, I would have been so incredibly disappointed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I could have shot fucking twenty five free throws. There's
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: no way I was making two of those in that scenario.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Simon, Please share with us the story about your loving father,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: who Matt Mitchell and I adore, who's our biggest supporter,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: who shows up and shows out at all of our
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: live events, who I text with independent of you.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Just the lovely, lovely man.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great man. Yeah, he's a great man and very lucky.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: You know, I even I know at a young age,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I'll go to a man my dad was where it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: just you know, it is like you you go and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: you spend time with your friends or just see how
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: their family dynamic works. And I'm just like, holy shit,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize how good I got it right. There's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: just some dads who are just assholes or they're not
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: involved in their kids' lives. And you know, my dad,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: every sporting events I had, he was there, and you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: he coached me in soccer from fourth grade to eighth
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: grade travel soccer.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So like before I.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Was really into football, you know, being a little British boy,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: you know my dad coached and you know.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It just stort popped in my head.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: My dad when he coached me, he would yell at
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: me talking about other players because you couldn't yell. You know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: people didn't want their he had yelled out by a coach,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: so you just hear him yelling at me. But I'd
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: be really talking about other guys on the team. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: thought that was always really funny, just always yelling Simon
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: get to the ball and get running, and he'd be talking.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Abou other people.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Obviously because I was always I was mental, especially back then,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I was all over the place.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, my funny.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Stories with my dad are always me just just pissing
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: them off. Like I really love to poke the bear,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: especially as a young kid. I just got great joy
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: out of getting my dad rought up because you've met him.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: My dad such a nice, friendly guy. But if you
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: got him, especially me, I knew what ticked him. You
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: get him going, he gets going. And my favorite one
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: was I used to call him Cookie Junior, which is
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: the most random nickname ever. But every little thing he
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: would do, I would say, okay, Cookie Junior, and I'll
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: never get there's one piece of bread left or something
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: like this on the dinner table and he goes to
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: grab and I go too slow, Cookie Junior, and I
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: grabbed it now and he goes stop calling me Cookie Junior,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: like lost to his shit, And I suddenly make it
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: more funny getting upset being called Cookie Junior. So that nickname,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: you know, from sixth grade ive to eighth grade, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: really calling him Cookie Jr. But you gradually I just
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: started calling him Tom, which again in England culture, calling
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: your your parents by their first name is very sacrilege.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: So I never forget the first time we go back
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: home and I started I'd been calling him Tom. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: say Tom in front of my like cousins, my family
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: were there. It was like a screeching hole to the
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: record player, like everyone just stopped talking.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: What you say you called him by his first name.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Like they gave my dad a look like are you
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: gonna smack this kid? And like they didn't realize, Like
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: my dad again, good man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: He didn't care. I can call him Tom Wow. So
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that's another just funny memory. But yeah, I just he's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a big guy too.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially again back then obviously I wasn't six two
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: sixty three then, so like, you know, my dad to
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: me looked seven feet tall. You remember you were a kid.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Everyone's so big. Even now, you know, my dad's way
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: past his proba. I still like I'm around Him'm like
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: this guy could still probably kick my ass. Just the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: old man's strength. It's it's not gone yet. So yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: my dad, man, he's he's a great man.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: People. There are fans of the show. They've met my dad.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You know, he loved coming up to our North Jersey shows.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: He's been to our Philly show. So yeah, great, great
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: supporter of my life is my father. For sure.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You could put the Milmans inside Simon's family like little
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: nesting dolls.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are Putians compared to that's what.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: British people are that we're huge, 're giant like vikings,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's our ancestors are big, big,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: big people. So yeah, I would say, well, my mom
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: is what do you think you had? My mom's five ten,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: five nine. Yeah, my dad was probably six too, so yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I mean you met my brother.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: My brother's probably six four. Definitely a very tall family.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Your dad has an elite nineties dad five, which I
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: can only is my too. I don't have My wrists
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: aren't thick enough to achieve dad nineties dad peak. But like,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: huge guy like you, big asshead like you, and shaking
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: hands with him is like grabbing a bunch of bananas
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: like you. So like, yeah, he's he's got it all
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: as far as I'm concerned from a dad's strength, he's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: like a spring that's pushed down. You know that he
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: could working out. I'll spring out at any moment. If
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: you call him. I can't wait to never call him
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: cookie Junior. I'll tell you that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: And he's very good. I would say, he's very like
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: man's man. So he eily hit the jack.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Butod he had three sons.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: My mom, God bless her, is the most curly girl ever,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: just dying to have a daughter. Couldn't have anyone further
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: away from like I have zero fashion sense seeing with
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: my brothers.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: That woman loves shopping.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: So my dad basically doesn't drink, never smoke, like, doesn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: do drugs, none of that stuff. His vice was sports,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: like watching us play sports growing up. So like, even
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: thinking back, I'd play stupid ass street hockey, like a
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: little street hockey league. It'd be like sleeting thirty degrees out.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I would just see him in his trench coat behind
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the net watching the game. It's just like that man
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: went to everything I played. So yeah, once again, very lucky.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's it's one of those things you
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: get older, you kind of get it where it's like
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't get as a kid, like I alf the time,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to be out there. It's like why
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: the fuck am I out here playing? And this man
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: would be there in the freezing cold, always watching, And
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: when you get older, it's like, oh, those those are
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: great days man, watching your kids, especially if your kids
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: are good at sports.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: People tell me all the time, it's like.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: The best you know enjoyment ever if you love sports
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: and your kids have somewhat semi talented at those said sports.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, my dad was very lucky.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: My oldest brother played varsity soccer, my middle brother played rugby,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and ifoc.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I played all the sports. I loved sports growing up,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: so yeah, he got it all.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: And then, unfortunately, I think only one of us played
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: in college. My oldest brother played soccer, so it pretty
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: much ended after high school.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: For my dad was sports.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Matt, It's interesting to me that your dad was not
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: into sport because my dad was not into sports at all,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: but he understood how much I loved sports and was
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: crazy supportive of it in ways. That translated to me
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: with my kid because my dad like took me to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals Kansas City Royals World Series because
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: my grandmother, who lived in Saint Louis, got tickets.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: He didn't give a shit about that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: My first job at Pro Football Weekly, I was an
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: intern literally filing old clips into folders so they had
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: access to all of them, and would I would plan
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to do a lot of the filing when they were
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: having their big editorial meeting inside the editor in chief's office,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and the file cabinets were outside the office, so I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: would go to the filing there and I could hear
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: what they were planning, to see what they were doing
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and if there was anything I could do, and they
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: were planning out the issue that was going to cover
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame inductions. And when the meeting ended,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I told one of the editors, Hey, you know, I'm
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: going away to the Hall of Fame with my dad
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: on a father son trip in Canton. If you guys
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: need a story from the Hall of Fame, I'm happy
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to do it. And so they assigned me the story,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: except I wasn't going to the Hall of Fame. My
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: dad and I weren't going away together that weekend. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: so I went home and told my dad, I'm like,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so good news, I got this assignment. I'm so excited
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: about it. I kind of need you to take me
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and pay for the trip at the Hall of Fame
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: because I was eighteen years old at the time and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't like really get there myself.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: The guy did it. The guy did it. He did it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: When like every summer job, when you work in media,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you don't get paid so over the summer, like you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: can either get the experience in media, or you can
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: get a job working somewhere like at the shoe store
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: or the pharmacy and get paid. Always understood I was
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: driven about sports and wanted to do it, always paid
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: for it. Cut to you know, twenty years later, I've
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: got a kid, my older son, not into sports at all,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: loves magic gathering, loves dungeons and dragons, doesn't want to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: do after school sports. This is what he wants to do.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, my wife and I are
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: driving around every weekend at different tournaments, different events, all
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: these things, and we're both starting to complain about it
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit because it's not like the mainstream sports thing.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And then my wife looks at me one day and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: one day and goes, oh my god, this is his
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: soccer like, we have to do it even though there's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: nothinganctioned and it's not official, because it's no different than
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: if we spent every weekend going to fucking Freehold, New
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Jersey for lacrosse tournaments.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: That's right, oh.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Father, that your stuff. Also, Canton's like four hundred miles
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: away from your house. And he was just like regulators,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: mound up. I'm in, Yeah, sounds good like good for him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: We went. We totally just went. Didn't even question it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Uh. I think I did the story about Franco Harris,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Good days, Good Days, good, dads.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: I'll do one game story because this is like, to me,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the biggest one that changed my life in many ways.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Where it's my earliest memory of sports betting. So it's
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl and two.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Thousand, I believe. So it's the Titans Rams.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And again I knew nothing about sports betting, never never
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: never seen it before.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I never heard about it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And my dad said to be my brother, do you
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: guys want to pick a side for this game? And
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: there's a spread, so everyone knew the Rams were the
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: better team. And I was a big, big Steve McNair fan.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: So my brother was like, yeah, I like the Rams.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: And I said, well, I'll take Steve McNair like I
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: love the Titans. And my dad said, well, there's a spread,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: so you get seven and a half points to start
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: the game. And again as a little kid, I could
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: not wrap my head around it where it's like so
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I'm already up a touchdown and a half.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I don't. I couldn't get it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: So again, if anyone remembers that game, it's I think
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: twenty three seventeen. Again, I have the Titans. They get
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: tackled at the one by the Rams. My brother starts
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: going absolutely crazy, and my dad basically pulled the not
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: so fast league Corso said, Simon here won the bet.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: The spread was seven and a half and gave me
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the one dollar and the rest is history.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Chat.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I literally got the itch from that day forward. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: even I remember being, you know, in middle school and
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: the Lakers and the Sixers in the finals. I made
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: a bet with a buddy who's a diehard this biggest
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: scumback guy was.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: He was diehard Sixers fan. Six Ers win Game one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I said, all right, if I'm right the Lakers win
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: this series, you buy me cookies every day for the
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: rest of the week. Again living the dream at that age.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: And yeah, just a little things like that. That's how
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I got a sports better And again, like we're talking
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: about Chad, very supportive parents, Like I told my parents.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I was gonna work in TV. They support it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I told them that I was gonna be a sports
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: better runner and working you know, a weird life.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Supportive. It's been very, very.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Lucky, and obviously you know that's that's what I kind
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: of I feel like Chad's in the same spot here
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: where it's like, you know, our parents who love us
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: and support us. It is a really big blessing in life,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: and I actually, un fortunately I've been in a life
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to have that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell told his dad, I'm going to grow a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: mustache when Kren goes away for ten days, I'm going
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to grow a mustache. And he goes son, I'm not
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: really thinking that's a great idea, but it's your life.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I want you to make your choices. It's your body.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: You do what you think is best.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, that just reminded me of a story
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: he'd actually love. Coming back from the University of Missouri,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: home the alma mater of Mike Jones who made that
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: year two thousand Super Bowl tackle to clinch the Tramants
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Go Mike Jones coming back from college. My dad had
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: booked me a flight to come back from Columbia to Rochester,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: A terrible kind of situation to try to figure out.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: So I'd fly, say Lewis to you know, have a
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: layover or whatever. But this one he's like, Hey, remember
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: this flight, you actually have to go to baggage. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: booked it on two airlines, that's two one way tickets,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: so you have to go get your bag, bring it over,
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: and then check back into this other flight. Okay, this
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: is an unusual situation, like, yeah, it sounds good. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: obviously forget all about that and leave my luggage in
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: a you know, at wherever, like bwi whatever fucking layover
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: I had and get home and there's no bag. I
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: had also grown, because I was like I was nineteen
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: or whatever. I grew like a little go tea soul
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: patch situation and looked embarrassingly bad, which made him real mad.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: But I was. I thought that was It was a
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: hoot that he that he hated it. And when I
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: told him I missed that back, he was like, I'm
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: gonna have to call the air I gotta get this
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: bag on its own flight. He was like, god damn it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: And I remember being like mm hmm, I'll be right
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: back and going into the bathroom and shaving it off,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: and his anger going down by like ninety percent.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Because he knew I could.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I was trying to meet him halfway, and that was uh.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: I remember that that him his face being like all right,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: all right, at least I don't have to help out
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: a guy who looks like a complete asshole. So that
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: was that was a lot of fun.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I do feel like.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: The signs of a good dad are they are angriest
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: about the stupidest stuff and least angry about the big stuff.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: You know, Like when I get into college, my senior year,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: me and my closest friend went to we were at
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: like another buddy's house, and this was the house where
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: this was the drinking guy's house.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Right, there was a group of us who were.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Like not big drinkers in a group that were big drinkers,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and like we thought they were cool and they were
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: like practiced drinkers, right, And so he broke out the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Jack Daniels, and me and my buddy each did like
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: an unhealthy dangerous amount of shots in a very short
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: amount of time, to the point where when we ended
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: up at the local Denny's that night where we always
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: ended up where half of my high school ended up,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I puked all over the table. To bring it back
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: around to the beginning, right, they had to drag me out.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: They take me to my house, and as you guys know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I have to wear very specific contact lenses that required
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: a plunger to be removed because I have a degenerative
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I disease. Okay, so my friends have me sitting upright
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom, unlike the toilet that is, you know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the seat is down. They're trying to get my content
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: out with the plunger, except they keep missing and they're
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: pulling my eye likely you can see it, right. So
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: then they let go and meet and I fall face forward.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: My head hits the porcelain sink. They can't get the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: contact lenses out, and I've got puke all over my pants.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And so they get me into my bedroom and they're
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: standing around me in a circle, and they're trying to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: get me to get my pants off, and I won't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: do it, and I keep yelling, I'm not taking my
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: pants off until you take your pants off. And when
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they're standing around me about seven eight nine dudes with
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: their pants off in the circle, Me in the center.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: With my pants off.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: That's when my parents get home and my mom looks
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: at my dad and she goes, I think this is
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: on you. Everybody leaves. My dad gets me in bed.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I'm puking until about four in the morning. In my
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: by the way Simon Philadelphia, seventy six ers garbage can.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: My dad is sitting with me the entire night. I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: finally pass out, except I have the seven am shift
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: at Parkway Drugs Pharmacy in Glencoe. The next day, it's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: a Saturday, six about six forty. My dad gets me up,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: drives me because I'm still a little bit out of it,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: drives me to the pharmacy. He's like, if you're gonna
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: go out, you're still gonna have to go to work.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And I did that shift for about five hours until
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the pharmacist stating home and he's like, you're of no
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: use to me. But I did also once see my
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: dad while he was driving to work, driving me downtown.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: He was going to work, I had to go to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: an appointment, pulled over to the side of the road,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: didn't even step out of the car, pute leaned over,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: he wasn't feeling well, puked, got back in the car,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: drove downtown and went back to work.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Now that's that's real dad behavior, That silver back dad behavior.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's silverback dad strength.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: I like the idea of your dad coming home to
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: that scene and and right away being like, oh, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: better get these pants off. You gotta gotta fit in,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: gotta gotta let's uh, let's get these pants off so
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: we can we can talk some sense into my son Yeah, incredible.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: I do want to share that my speaking of just
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: getting into whatever your kids are getting into, my dad
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: did eventually become a big sports fan. I was able
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: to drag him into into becoming a fan. One of
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: the ways I did that was becoming just a massive
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills fan growing up in Rochester until he eventually
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: was like, wow, shit, as long as he's super into it,
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna get super into it. But the NFL had
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: blackout restrictions from nineteen seventy three to twenty fourteen, where
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: if a game didn't sell out, it was blacked out
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: with seventy five miles to the stadium. That really impacted
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Buffalo a lot one because it was, you know, an
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: economically depressed area that wasn't particularly packed with people. They
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: had the second or third largest stadium in terms of
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: the number of seats they'd have to sell for a
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: long time, and then they changed a bunch of the
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: rules that it was pretty dreadful. So we had three choices.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: We could listen to the game and the immortal Van
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Miller on the radio, which was great because of the
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: timeless and evocative nature of audio, which which definitely gave
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: me a love affair with the radio.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon everyone. This is Van Miller, and the road.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: To the Super Bowl goes through Orchard Park, New York.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Or for a little while, there was a loophole where
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: some bars had satellite feeds, so there was a couple
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: of bars across town that you could go and get
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: like essentially a legal stream of the game and watch it.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: But it was hard to like it. It's not going
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: to go and have fifteen La bat blues with his
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: fucking son and drive them home, So it was hard
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: to find a reason to take a tween to a
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: bar and kill all that time. But he would do it.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: And then the third option was, which he would do
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: quite often, if I really wanted to go, he'd drive
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: me in like an hour plus across the county line.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: He'd drive due east into Wayne County until we crossed
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: over into the area of the Syracuse affiliates, which would
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: then play it. But there's so much nothing in between
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: that he would just go up to one of these
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: shitty roadside like motels, talk to the guy in the
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: front and basically convince him that him and him and
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: his team are trying to watch the Bills game. Can
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: we just get the hotel him for three and a
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: half hours, and those guys didn't ask a lot of questions.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: And we would go in and we'd watch the game
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: on top of the duvet, and we'd bring in like
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: a picnic. We'd eat the you know, we'd eat the food,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: watch the game, and then drive home. And during one
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: of those games, I'll never forget it. September twenty first,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety seven, the Bills are down twenty six to
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: nothing in the first half to Jim Harbaugh's Indianapolis called
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: and it was notable because it was to me it
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: was the first game that Jim Kelly, who just retired
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: was going to go back to Buffalo as an announcer
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: for NBC and looking at him and being like, this
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: guy is so fucking old and used up. This is
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: like the oldest guy I've ever seen on TV. Jim
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Caller was thirty seven years old at the time. Like really,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: I'm like so much older than he was at the time.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: So there was that the Bills come all the way
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: back and they win this game, the third largest regular
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: season comeback in NFL history, and Ton Smith hursting Fune
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: and Ton Smith racing from the end zone and scores
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: that touching touchdown.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Like guy said, e Com never cut the buffalo bills up.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: He never could count him up.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Game absolutely ruled. Then we smoothed out the duvets and
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: swept all the crumbs away and checked out, and he
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: drove all the way home. Just so I can make
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: sure that you know I would catch all these games.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: It's hard for me to imagine doing that for my
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: own sun or some similar effort, but that's just the
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: stuff you do for your kids. It was incredible.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: That is great, dadding.
• 35:07
