5:05
Speaker 2: I did see the cat the other day, and I
5:07

5:09
Speaker 2: him to send to y'all, and I forgot.

Speaker 2: He looked just as healthy as ever, and he was
5:16
Speaker 2: chilling like in his normal spot. He didn't follow me
5:19
Speaker 2: this time, though, I don't think he saw me, and
5:21
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go disrupt.
5:22
Speaker 6: Him and then feel bad for leaving him again.

5:41
Speaker 5: I don't know if cat's real vie with anybody, right?
5:45

6:18
Speaker 7: I got a cat next door. I'm trying to convince
6:21
Speaker 7: my neighbors to just let me have it at this point.
6:24
Speaker 7: Now Frankie's not okay with it. That's kind of his
6:28
Speaker 7: sworn enemy. It's kind of a one sided affair. The
6:31
Speaker 7: cat doesn't really care about him. He hits the cat.
6:34
Speaker 7: But no, it's awesome. Like I'll go I'll be bringing
6:37
Speaker 7: my cans in from the end of the street. The
6:39
Speaker 7: cat like follows me down the driveway, comes up to
6:41
Speaker 7: me everything. Every twice a week. That happens when I
6:44
Speaker 7: bring the cans out and I'm bringing them back in.
6:45
Speaker 7: Awesome cat love it.
6:46

6:52
Speaker 7: but we're going to keep at it. Well, are you
6:56
Speaker 7: conferring with Frankie not his decision. He lives there for free.
7:03
Speaker 5: Not his choice.
7:05
Speaker 4: We have this, uh I I've told you about our
7:07
Speaker 4: cat outside cat, old Cindy Clawford.
7:12
Speaker 7: That's a phenomenal name for a kid.
7:16
Speaker 5: That was me.
7:17
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you kids don't know who Cindy Crawford is.
7:21
Speaker 1: That.
7:24

13:50
Speaker 2: fart like run where it's like yeah, so you do
13:53
Speaker 2: like yeah, you do like thirty on thirty off, but

Speaker 2: yep or guild you like a minute fast, a minute whatever,
14:02
Speaker 2: That's that's.
14:04
Speaker 6: What it's called.

14:27
Speaker 4: the end of the thing. It was Annie up and
14:29
Speaker 4: then the bulls enter I thing, yeah came on and
14:32

Speaker 7: the Burbie Brool jumps.
15:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a distance. It's like two hundred meters or
15:36
Speaker 4: something like that. I can't two hundred meters. I thought
15:38
Speaker 4: you were gonna say like fifty feet.
15:40
Speaker 5: It might be one hundred meters. I can't remember. It's
15:44
Speaker 5: it's a good little wayso yeah, again it's meters, not yards,
15:48
Speaker 5: So I don't understand it.
15:50
Speaker 7: But your fancies about kilometers you ran yesterday and he.
15:53
Speaker 5: Came back speaking of kilometers being fancy. The Saints now
16:06
Speaker 5: have the right to the to Italy and then the
16:12
Speaker 5: whole country.
16:13
Speaker 4: There's an NFL Global Markets program, and they got granted
16:18
Speaker 4: the rights. I think this is didn't didn't Gal Benson
16:21
Speaker 4: have an audience with the Pope recently?
16:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that makes sense.
16:24
Speaker 4: That's a fancy way to put that, have an audience
16:27
Speaker 4: with the Pope. I read it that way. I didn't
16:29
Speaker 4: come up with that.
16:30
Speaker 5: But it's good.
16:31
Speaker 4: She had an audience with the Pope, and now they
16:34
Speaker 4: have the rights, the global market rights to Italy, which
16:37
Speaker 4: I have no idea what that really means. I think
16:38
Speaker 4: that means that they can market in Italy and I
16:41
Speaker 4: believe they got they had the rights to France. It
16:44
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with games, I don't think. Originally
16:45
Speaker 4: I saw this, I was like, Oh, that means they're
16:47
Speaker 4: going to be like like the Jaguars are to London
16:53
Speaker 4: any time they play overseas, usually them or something like.
16:55
Speaker 4: That's what I kind of thought it was, But it's not.
16:58
Speaker 4: It's just kind of like the global marketing rights expand,
17:00
Speaker 4: like the game and stuff, so they can market the Saints.
17:03
Speaker 6: Which you can probably like get TV rights or something.
17:05
Speaker 5: I don't know how that France for sure, because they
17:08
Speaker 5: play in Paris.
17:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe they want to play in Italy and
17:13
Speaker 2: that's why they're going to start the marketing push.
17:14
Speaker 7: Now, well Pinky's up and then like the Saints are
17:18
Speaker 7: going to be Italy's team, Like that's yeah, like Saints
17:22
Speaker 7: merge all that.
17:23
Speaker 4: That would be sure. But they got France's rights a
17:27
Speaker 4: couple of years.
17:28
Speaker 2: Ago as well, so that's why I feel like they're
17:31
Speaker 2: probably trying to imagine.
17:35
Speaker 5: Or expand.
17:36
Speaker 2: I don't know, we don't really I feel like Italy
17:38
Speaker 2: and France are very much Saints markets.
17:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would I would think so, definitely more France. Yeah,
17:47
Speaker 4: maybe Pope's got.
17:48
Speaker 2: Some pull those I'm gonna say, isn't she friends with
17:50
Speaker 2: the Pope?
17:51
Speaker 3: Yeah?
17:51
Speaker 7: They had an audience, had an audience with him.
17:54
Speaker 5: All right, anyway, we'll research it tomorrow.

Speaker 3: the past and any of that stuff. I came here
24:28
Speaker 3: to win, and we're gonna win immediately. Everybody has this
24:32
Speaker 3: notion like LSU basketball is not meant.
24:34
Speaker 6: To be average, mediocre or pretty good.
24:37
Speaker 3: You can throw that stuff out.
24:38
Speaker 6: That's not who we are. That's not who we are.
24:41
Speaker 3: This program, this program's meant to be great. This program's
24:48
Speaker 3: meant to compete at the highest levels of college basketball,
24:51
Speaker 3: night in and night out. And as we say down here,
24:53
Speaker 3: it just means more.
24:56
Speaker 4: There is Will Wade, the General. He's back. Let's go
25:01
Speaker 4: round number two here at LSU. Get it has. He
25:04
Speaker 4: was introduced yesterday at the PMAC. Now he is officially
25:10
Speaker 4: back to work. And uh, when I was listening to
25:13
Speaker 4: the press conference, that little those those little clips right.
25:17
Speaker 4: There are the thing that stuck out to me the most.
25:19
Speaker 4: Of course, there's a lot of energy in the whole room.
25:21
Speaker 5: Uh. He fed off that energy and he brought that energy.
25:24
Speaker 4: And Uh, it wasn't a situation where he said, look,
25:28
Speaker 4: this is gonna take some time.
25:31
Speaker 5: We're gonna build this thing. This has got to be
25:32
Speaker 5: built the right way.
25:34
Speaker 4: No, because of the climate of college athletics, you can
25:38
Speaker 4: come in and you can compete fast. And we've seen it.
25:41
Speaker 4: We've seen it in all every single sport in the
25:44
Speaker 4: Elane Elaine gotta do it fast and well, Wade said.
25:48
Speaker 4: The expectation is not to be great in the future.
25:52
Speaker 4: The expectation is to be great immediately. And that's what's
25:56
Speaker 4: stuck out to me the most. And at this school,
26:01
Speaker 4: this program, on all athletics, demands excellence, It demands championships,
26:07
Speaker 4: it demands the best.
26:08
Speaker 5: That's why we love it. That's why the school.
26:11
Speaker 4: Administration has pushed so hard on all these coaching hires
26:15
Speaker 4: and made these moves that other teams wouldn't have because
26:20
Speaker 4: we expect greatness and everything. Basketball has been the sport
26:23
Speaker 4: and we talked about it last week before the Will
26:26
Speaker 4: Wade move happened. It was like, all right, because everything
26:29
Speaker 4: else is so awesome, Like we want basketball to be good,
26:34
Speaker 4: but it's not like a do or die, make or
26:36
Speaker 4: break my life situation. But now that he is here,
26:40
Speaker 4: he is saying he put the challenge down, he drew
26:43
Speaker 4: the line in the stand and said, no, we are
26:45
Speaker 4: going to be great. And he said this LSU program
26:49
Speaker 4: is not here too, and it's and is not meant
26:52
Speaker 4: to be mediocre. And when I heard that, it got
26:55
Speaker 4: me excited. I was in basketball guy me so, and
27:00
Speaker 4: I think that dribblehead absolutely legiped.
27:06
Speaker 5: Give and go ahead. I don't know what what is this?
27:09
Speaker 7: Those are those are basketball thing, Jess, So, I mean
27:11
Speaker 7: those are all basketball. I never heard of you that way.
27:14
Speaker 4: But I mean I don't freak terminology, like I don't
27:17
Speaker 4: know a lot of basketball terms, but those are the
27:18
Speaker 4: ones I knew.
27:24
Speaker 5: So what did y'all think of? And I know we're
27:27
Speaker 5: about to we're gonna go break.
27:28
Speaker 4: We'll probably break this up talking about this, and but
27:31
Speaker 4: just give me the quick overview of what things stuck
27:33
Speaker 4: out to y'all from the press cones. Because my thing,
27:36
Speaker 4: when I when I saw it, I was like, he
27:37
Speaker 4: didn't really need to say anything else. And his press
27:39
Speaker 4: conference wasn't that long. He didn't like talk for too long,
27:42
Speaker 4: but it was this program is not meant to be
27:43
Speaker 4: a mediocre and I didn't come here to reflect on
27:46
Speaker 4: the past.
27:46
Speaker 5: I came here to win immediately, and so that was
27:48
Speaker 5: those things to me.
27:49
Speaker 4: It's like this day and age you can and the
27:52
Speaker 4: confidence you're speaking with, the energy you're speaking with, That's
27:54
Speaker 4: why LSU made the moves that it did.
27:57
Speaker 7: The last question of the of the press conference, Scott
28:00
Speaker 7: rabbolay for asking it. He said, you feel like you
28:03
Speaker 7: o LSU something, and Wade gave a great answer. It's
28:05
Speaker 7: about a minute and a half two minutes, and he
28:07
Speaker 7: basically said, yeah, I do, because you.
28:10
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, there is a part of me that feels
28:15
Speaker 3: that way. I've never connected with a fan base and
28:18
Speaker 3: with people like I have with LSU and Louisiana. And
28:22
Speaker 3: I feel like we left the book open a little bit,
28:25
Speaker 3: We left some chapters out there, and we left some
28:27
Speaker 3: chapters unfinished. And to have the opportunity to come back
28:31
Speaker 3: and finish that off and to bring pride and joy
28:35
Speaker 3: to people that I care about, yeah, I feel a
28:39
Speaker 3: heavy burden towards that and That's a big reason I
28:41
Speaker 3: came back. I mean, look, you can look at the
28:43
Speaker 3: records and this is I told I'm going to say
28:45
Speaker 3: something that I've only told to my wife and some
28:48
Speaker 3: close personal friends because they've all asked the same question.
28:51
Speaker 3: All you're thinking, like, what in the world are we doing?
28:53
Speaker 3: You can win a lot of places, but there's nothing
28:56
Speaker 3: like the meaning of winning with your friends and meaning
28:58
Speaker 3: when you feel like you're playing for a bigger power
29:02
Speaker 3: for lack of a better term, and you have more
29:04
Speaker 3: purpose too. You have a bigger purpose. And a lot
29:07
Speaker 3: of my best friends are sitting in this room right now,
29:10
Speaker 3: a lot of my best friends are down here in Louisiana,
29:12
Speaker 3: and I feel like that we have a greater purpose
29:14
Speaker 3: with this program than anywhere that I've ever been.
29:17
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, That's.
29:19
Speaker 7: Why I came back.
29:24
Speaker 4: Love it, Love it for mister will Wade, the General.
29:28
Speaker 4: Tell you what I'm gonna threaten.

Speaker 2: State one. They're pretty bad at a guy who they
32:07
Speaker 2: thought wasn't very.
32:08
Speaker 7: Good will to take you take a subtle shot, right
32:13
Speaker 7: like he's like, oh guys, I'm not going to get
32:15
Speaker 7: into it.
32:20
Speaker 4: Change they also said, look, I'm not for everybody. I
32:22
Speaker 4: realized that, and you know what, L s U is
32:24
Speaker 4: not for everybody, but that's the beauty of it.
32:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, y'all can hate us because he ain't us here.
32:31
Speaker 6: It is.
32:33
Speaker 3: No I know people have been talking about us a
32:35
Speaker 3: little bit. I understand I'm not for everybody, and we
32:38
Speaker 3: understand also that L s U isn't for everybody. But
32:41
Speaker 3: one thing we both understand is I'm for L s
32:43
Speaker 3: U and L s U's for me, And make no
32:46
Speaker 3: mistake about that.
32:47
Speaker 2: Right, we got your but doesn't Isn't that how like
32:51
Speaker 2: it's felt though, Like it's felt like we're just meant
32:54
Speaker 2: to be, Like we're just like this is a marriage
32:57
Speaker 2: that is meant to be, Like we got divorced, but
33:00
Speaker 2: we found our way back together.
33:01
Speaker 6: And it feels like.
33:03
Speaker 2: Will almost said Jay Will really really wants to be here,
33:08
Speaker 2: like he loves it here and he wants to be here,
33:12
Speaker 2: and we want him here. And it's just I feel like,
33:15
Speaker 2: like you said, one way or another, it's gonna be
33:17
Speaker 2: a hell of a ride.
33:18
Speaker 5: Right, Matt.
33:19
Speaker 7: You talked about it, you know, going through all these
33:21
Speaker 7: coach it searches. You said, I want people that want
33:24
Speaker 7: to be here. This guy left what everybody considers a
33:26
Speaker 7: better basketball job to come back through the school that
33:29
Speaker 7: I understand the administration is different, but to come back
33:31
Speaker 7: to his school that let him go a few years ago,
33:34
Speaker 7: to take essentially less money because he loves being here
33:37
Speaker 7: at LSU and bad reage. And like they don't show
33:39
Speaker 7: it on the press conference that you're gonna watch on
33:42
Speaker 7: YouTube erning news channel. But as soon as he walked
33:45
Speaker 7: off the stage, the first thing he did, he ran
33:46
Speaker 7: over to the student section, jumped up in there, shook
33:49
Speaker 7: their hands like he used to do every single home
33:51
Speaker 7: win when he was here the first time. Like the
33:53
Speaker 7: guy forgot nothing. It's it's basically like he never left.
33:58
Speaker 7: It's awesome, Which is.
34:02
Speaker 4: Like this never happens, right, second chances in athletics, at
34:06
Speaker 4: least coaching never never really happens, at least that I
34:10
Speaker 4: that I can ever remember. Maybe a coach leaves on
34:13
Speaker 4: his own will and comes back later, but never from
34:16
Speaker 4: a getting fired situation. And you just said it like
34:18
Speaker 4: they gotta they got a divorce, but now they come back.
34:20
Speaker 4: It wouldn't like a divorce. Someone split them up, right, Yeah,
34:23
Speaker 4: someone split them up. But now that person's out of
34:25
Speaker 4: their lives, so they're back together. Yeah, found their way
34:28
Speaker 4: back together. Now, there's a lot of money involved in
34:30
Speaker 4: a lot of business situations. But when you look at
34:34
Speaker 4: this press conference and not a comparative look, but if
34:39
Speaker 4: you look at them side by side and you think
34:41
Speaker 4: back to like Lane Kiffin's press conference, both of those,
34:45
Speaker 4: you could feel the reverence in both of those coaches
34:48
Speaker 4: voices for the excitement to be here at LSU. And
34:55
Speaker 4: everybody's heard coach speak. Everybody's heard that coach that even
34:59
Speaker 4: even like good speak, and you can tell when there
35:02
Speaker 4: is scripted things to say to make them sound better
35:06
Speaker 4: or make them sound like they're more affectionate or have
35:08
Speaker 4: more love towards something like you. Every I think everybody
35:12
Speaker 4: listening has heard and be like, Okay, well that's yeah,
35:15
Speaker 4: that sounds good, but that's fake or that sounds good
35:17
Speaker 4: but whatever I believe in Well Wade's press conference and
35:21
Speaker 4: even Lan it's like you could feel, well, you could
35:23
Speaker 4: feel the genuine like how genuine both of those humans
35:28
Speaker 4: are to be here. And I'm only speaking of those
35:31
Speaker 4: two because they're the two most recent ones, right, I know,
35:34
Speaker 4: we got great coaches on a lot of different sports.
35:37
Speaker 4: I'm just isolating those two because it's the most recent
35:39
Speaker 4: one and it's the loudest ones that have kind of,
35:43
Speaker 4: you know, put LSU in the crossairs of most national
35:47
Speaker 4: media members and national sports fans, which is fine, awesome.
35:52
Speaker 7: You asked the question last week to Jay Johnson, if
35:55
Speaker 7: you remember, I mean this was right after the Wade
35:57
Speaker 7: news broke. He said, Hey, what's it like workan versus
36:00
Speaker 7: cool that you know's going to invest in every single sport?
36:02
Speaker 7: And Jay said, twenty year old me would have said
36:04
Speaker 7: my dream job was at Arizona and I had it.
36:06
Speaker 7: He said, the only job I would have left for
36:08
Speaker 7: was LSU. I mean, even a Jay Johnson who's not
36:11
Speaker 7: as loud, not as you know out there on social media,
36:14
Speaker 7: the other two guys understands that LSU's a little bit different, right,
36:18
Speaker 7: And like I thought that was a great quote from
36:20
Speaker 7: him last week.
36:21
Speaker 4: That was like when he said that, I was like,
36:23
Speaker 4: holy hell. I was like, that's that's incredible. His dream
36:29
Speaker 4: job was one thing and he left it to come
36:33
Speaker 4: to LSU. Because now it's the noon dream job when
36:35
Speaker 4: you figure when you found out it's available, and you
36:37
Speaker 4: find out the resources, the passion behind the fan base
36:40
Speaker 4: and that's why we love LSU athletics. So we're fired
36:44
Speaker 4: up to have the general back. And look, the transfer
36:47
Speaker 4: portal window opens up April seventh, so he's going to
36:50
Speaker 4: be off and running. And just like early January when
36:54
Speaker 4: the portal opened for football, it'll be the first gradable test.
36:57
Speaker 4: That was the first credible test for Lane Kiffin. Well,
36:58
Speaker 4: we'll see in a week's time pretty much what's gonna happen.
37:03
Speaker 4: How will Wade's gonna do?
37:04
Speaker 5: And look.
37:06
Speaker 4: He like we said, he drew a line in the
37:08
Speaker 4: sand and he put he put his own high expectations
37:13
Speaker 4: on himself and didn't really give himself a long runway
37:16
Speaker 4: to get there. He said, we're gonna do it immediately.
37:18
Speaker 4: We expect to do it immediately. Well, he also said
37:21
Speaker 4: that they're going to be strategic certainly about the way
37:24
Speaker 4: they spend dollars, but in this first year there might
37:28
Speaker 4: be a little sticker shock. They're going to spend some
37:30
Speaker 4: money because you know, you have to. You're gonna have
37:33
Speaker 4: to spend some money because you got to rebuild a roster. Taylor,
37:38
Speaker 4: you were talking about people that we could talk about today,
37:40
Speaker 4: about guys on the team that could retain, but certainly
37:45
Speaker 4: there is going to be a lot of new faces
37:48
Speaker 4: on that roster and probably proved pretty shortly when the
37:52
Speaker 4: portal window is next week and they are they're going
37:55
Speaker 4: to have the money to spend. Not really sure exactly
37:58
Speaker 4: how much, because he did kind of deny the fact
38:00
Speaker 4: that anything's been a certain amount's been guaranteed.
38:03
Speaker 5: But we know that we'll Wade can go and raise
38:05
Speaker 5: some money and is going to be good at that.
38:07
Speaker 5: So we will see.
38:08
Speaker 4: But they said they will not be afraid in there.
38:10
Speaker 4: For everybody else, there might be a little sticker shock,
38:12
Speaker 4: But I got news for you will.
38:15
Speaker 2: I think we're over the stick ye, like we're After
38:18
Speaker 2: you said that you were gonna paying Kevin ninety one
38:20
Speaker 2: million dollars over seven years, I was like, all right.
38:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever, Yeah, Now that LSU's paid what two hundred
38:25
Speaker 4: million in the last couple of months on two new
38:27
Speaker 4: coaching hires, I don't think the sticker shock's going to
38:29
Speaker 4: be there.
38:30
Speaker 6: Something.
38:30
Speaker 5: Did you say million bucks?
38:32
Speaker 6: Did you hear this part? I don't know. You might
38:34
Speaker 6: like this. I know that whenever he said this, I
38:38
Speaker 6: was like, okay, this is like a okay.
38:42
Speaker 2: They asked about the staff and he was like, we'll
38:45
Speaker 2: probably have something in place next week, but I'm not
38:47
Speaker 2: going to have a whole bunch of staff. I'm not
38:49
Speaker 2: going to have a whole bunch of assistant coaches. At
38:51
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I'm the general manager and
38:54
Speaker 2: the head coach. I'm going to be making most of
38:56
Speaker 2: the decisions. I'm going to be doing the recruiting. And
38:59
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, this is very different from like football,
39:03
Speaker 2: where you you'll hire like a million people.
39:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, do do we have the missing piece?
39:07
Speaker 5: Was what the club?
39:09
Speaker 7: I didn't know if we had it, No, he might.
39:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.
39:14
Speaker 4: I did find that interesting where he said he was
39:15
Speaker 4: going to be the head coach and the general manager. Now,
39:18
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's common practice or not in basketball.
39:21
Speaker 4: Certainly wouldn't be in football. In basketball, of course, you
39:26
Speaker 4: got less people to deal with le's players, so I
39:30
Speaker 4: guess it's easier to do it there. But I don't
39:32
Speaker 4: know what the standard operating procedure is in basketball. I
39:35
Speaker 4: would assume since he made mention of that, that it's
39:39
Speaker 4: not common practice for the head coach to be the GM.
39:43
Speaker 6: Well, I guess there's other places that do have one,
39:46
Speaker 6: but here I do have the quotes.
39:47
Speaker 3: We're not going to have the biggest staff in the world.
39:49
Speaker 3: I don't want to have I want to have one
39:50
Speaker 3: hundred people run around and walking on top of each other.
39:53
Speaker 3: But you know, we're going to have our shell recruiting
39:57
Speaker 3: staff in place here in the next you know, hopefully
39:59
Speaker 3: by the first to next week. You know, I would
40:01
Speaker 3: think we'll have two to three assistants and then we're
40:03
Speaker 3: gonna leave a couple of spots open and and and
40:05
Speaker 3: work through that as we as we move forward. But
40:07
Speaker 3: we'll have we'll have two or three folks in here.
40:09
Speaker 3: We'll run a tight recruiting I'm not a guy. I've
40:12
Speaker 3: done this at other places, Like I'm the in college.
40:14
Speaker 3: It's a little different in the NBA, Like I'm the
40:16
Speaker 3: head coach and the general manager. Like there's no like
40:18
Speaker 3: you don't have to have all this other stuff. Like
40:21
Speaker 3: the decisions on the roster are ultimately gonna come down
40:23
Speaker 3: to me. Now get input from everybody else, but it's
40:26
Speaker 3: gonna be beat.
40:29
Speaker 6: I mean one hundred he said, We're not gonna have
40:31
Speaker 6: one hundred people on staff. Seventy six is pretty cool.
40:34
Speaker 5: There as already a riff in between the Elise coach.
40:35
Speaker 5: Did he just take a shot at link.
40:37
Speaker 6: He might have. Wow, we're starting the beef here. He
40:40
Speaker 6: needs Martin.
40:44
Speaker 2: Also, uh, somebody put out it was Glenn Gilbot. He
40:48
Speaker 2: put out a report yesterday that he's that way is
40:52
Speaker 2: set to hire Johnny Jones and Rick Stanberry off from
40:56
Speaker 2: the Mississippi State ex Mississippi State coach. But then I
40:59
Speaker 2: read the r and in the article he was like,
41:02
Speaker 2: he said that he asked Will Wade about it, and
41:05
Speaker 2: that Will said it wasn't completely accurate. So I'm like, okay,
41:09
Speaker 2: are we just not complete either not completely false, but
41:12
Speaker 2: also not completely accurate.
41:13
Speaker 6: But he's also reporting it like it is.
41:15
Speaker 5: All right, it's somewhat accurate. Somewhat accurate.
41:18
Speaker 7: Oh our guy from McNeice, the equipment manager, he was there, Yeah,
41:22
Speaker 7: a meir who carried the boombox gear front in mcne scared. Yeah,
41:28
Speaker 7: good for him, absolutely all right, got to bring him on,
41:31
Speaker 7: all right, shout up with niece. All right, that's good stuff.
