Speaker 2: A and I'm getting ready for their first ever college
1:38
Speaker 2: football playoff. They will host Miami a week from Saturday
1:42
Speaker 2: morning at eleven am. Meanwhile, it was announced today on
1:47
Speaker 2: RG three's podcast Out of Pocket Marcel Reid saying he
1:51
Speaker 2: will be coming back to Texas A and M this
1:55
Speaker 2: next season. Mike Elko has been named a finalist for

Speaker 2: the George Munger Coach of the Year Award given by
2:03
Speaker 2: the Maxwell Club, along with Kurt Signetti of Indiana, Joey
2:09
Speaker 2: McGuire of Texas Tech at Clark Lee at Vanderbilt. Oh,
2:14
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good list of coaches. Notre Dame Athletic
2:18
Speaker 2: director Pete Bavakua has unloaded on that acc in the
2:22
Speaker 2: wake of the Irish getting snubbed, saying that the way
2:26
Speaker 2: they went about things on Notre Dame's behalf has caused
2:30
Speaker 2: permanent damage in the relationship. The ACC has since replied, Hey,
2:39
Speaker 2: Notre Dames, the one that lost two games. No, that's
2:42
Speaker 2: not what they really said. Notre Dame decided they didn't
2:45
Speaker 2: want to go to the pop Tarts ball or wherever
2:48
Speaker 2: they were going to play, which I kind of like
2:51
Speaker 2: because that takes money out.
2:52
Speaker 4: Of ESPN's pocket.
2:55
Speaker 2: Tulane has turned to a familiar face for its football program,
2:59
Speaker 2: replacing on some raw Who's gone to Florida. They have

Speaker 2: Hall was the passing game coordinator for Tulane after previously

3:22
Speaker 2: will have a week off to think about blowing a
3:25
Speaker 2: four point lead in the last forty seconds against SMU
3:29
Speaker 2: and Arlington last night. How long did this game take?
3:36
Speaker 2: Two hours and thirty six minutes. It seemed like four
3:39
Speaker 2: hours in thirty six minutes.
3:41
Speaker 4: Why, well, there were fifty foul calls.
3:46
Speaker 2: There were sixty two free throws attempted sixty two. Unfortunately,
3:54
Speaker 2: A and M missed twelve free throws, which would have
3:56
Speaker 2: been the difference of the game. They also coughed up
3:59
Speaker 2: the ball sixteen times, which wasn't good. SMU gets to
4:03
Speaker 2: win ninety three to eighty. The Aggie's now seven to three.
4:07

4:14

5:12
Speaker 2: Arkansas seventeen, Florida eighteen, Tennessee is twenty, Auburn is twenty one.
5:21
Speaker 2: SMU jumped into the old others receiving votes category. Let's
5:27
Speaker 2: see College Baseball Hall of Fame. The Veterans Committee voted
5:34
Speaker 2: Jeff Kent in seventeen years after his final game.
5:39
Speaker 4: He'll be inducted July twenty sixth.
5:43
Speaker 2: Along with any other player that may be chosen by
5:46
Speaker 2: the Baseball Writers' Association, whose balloting will be announced on
5:51
Speaker 2: January the twentyth That's great for Jeff Kent. I'm still
5:57
Speaker 2: wondering why Dale Murphy is not in the Baseball Hall
6:03
Speaker 2: of Fame. Just so you'll know, for a decade he
6:07
Speaker 2: was one of the five best players in the game
6:09
Speaker 2: with bad teams, two times MVP, the second most RBI
6:14
Speaker 2: during that ten year span. Dale Murphy should be in
6:18
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. And we want to send our
6:22
Speaker 2: condolences out to the Hicks family and the death of
6:25
Speaker 2: Thomas Hicks, who died Saturday at the age of seventy nine.

Speaker 2: Thomas Hicks purchased the Dallas Stars the year after they
6:34
Speaker 2: arrived from Minneapolis won a Stanley Cup in nineteen ninety nine.

6:46
Speaker 2: before the Rangers went to back to Backworld Series, although
6:51
Speaker 2: he helped put together the team that led the Rangers
6:55
Speaker 2: to that spot.

8:46
Speaker 7: He's telling us all about the Cookout Clash at Bowman
8:49
Speaker 7: Gray Stadium, which will be back for twenty twenty six.
8:52
Speaker 8: Last year, everybody had a good time with the clash,
8:54
Speaker 8: so we're going to run it back. Coming off of
8:56
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five Cookout class of Bowman Gray, we felt
9:00
Speaker 8: overwhelming support across the state of North Carolina, forty three
9:03
Speaker 8: other states in three countries to bring the NASCAR Cup
9:06
Speaker 8: Series back to NASCAR's longest running advanced autoparts weekly series track,
9:10
Speaker 8: Bowman Gray Stadium in February. We sold out of tickets, parking, hospitality, merch,
9:16
Speaker 8: hot dogs, bush light, all the things. So in talking
9:20
Speaker 8: to the City of Winston Sale Mayor Joins and city
9:23
Speaker 8: council to find folks from Cookout, the guy who won
9:27
Speaker 8: the Bobby Allison Memorial Trophy, Chase Elliott, and of course
9:29
Speaker 8: the fans, it was an overwhelming yes. When we were asked, well,
9:33
Speaker 8: should we bring the Cookout Clash back to the mathouse,
9:36
Speaker 8: So excited to do it again. Our operations team worked
9:41
Speaker 8: really hard last year to bring the first NASCAR Cup
9:44
Speaker 8: Series event back in over fifty years to the Mathhouse,
9:49
Speaker 8: and it shined a light on short track racing, not
9:53
Speaker 8: just the city of Winston Salem and NASCAR Cup Series,
9:56
Speaker 8: but also great short tracks around the country. Speaking of lights, obviously,
10:01
Speaker 8: we invested in the facility at Bowman Gray Stadium with
10:03
Speaker 8: impdated infrastructure like led musc Go lighting and we're excited
10:08
Speaker 8: to run it back.

13:28
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that tomorrow. It was close. We had
13:33
Speaker 2: like four or five former winners among the top twenty
13:36
Speaker 2: five again this year.
13:38
Speaker 4: Their names are already on the trophy. I wasn't one
13:41
Speaker 4: of them. Unfortunately, I was way way back. Anyway, I digress.
13:48
Speaker 2: Friday's Fearless Football Forecast contest brought to you the entire
13:53
Speaker 2: season by Chad Jones, Law and Zwornimann Flooring Today actually
14:04
Speaker 2: live on the Zone. We heard from Mike Elko. He
14:10
Speaker 2: answered questions from the media. He's answered a lot of
14:15
Speaker 2: questions in the last twenty four hours. They're required to
14:19
Speaker 2: do a like zoom call with national reporters, you know,
14:25
Speaker 2: various Bowl games host stuff like that. We're gonna hear
14:29
Speaker 2: from Ryan Day coming up from I think it was yesterday,
14:38
Speaker 2: mostly talking about the national the Big Ten championship game.
14:43
Speaker 2: It's not the National Championship game. I think a little
14:49
Speaker 2: bit more low scoring than we thought it might be.
14:53
Speaker 2: But Pad and Fight newsiers they're pretty good. They made
15:00
Speaker 2: Ohio State look.
15:04
Speaker 4: Mortal.
15:05
Speaker 2: Let's say, you would have thought Ohio State was playing
15:08
Speaker 2: Michigan the last four years the way that game turned
15:11
Speaker 2: out Saturday night. But there you go, Ohio State in Indiana,
15:18
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Georgia, Texas Tech. I'm still trying to figure
15:21
Speaker 2: out why Georgia is not the number two seed at
15:26
Speaker 2: Ohio State the three seed after they lost that game.
15:30
Speaker 2: That's a little surprising, I must say. I'm sure we'll
15:36
Speaker 2: talk to the writers a little bit about that coming up.
15:43
Speaker 2: I don't know how much time we're going to spend
15:45
Speaker 2: on it, because frankly, it's done. There's a certain glee
15:50
Speaker 2: watching Notre Dame jump up and down in the corner.
15:54
Speaker 4: I'll be honest about that.
15:56
Speaker 2: So let's hear from Coachelko and part of what he
16:01
Speaker 2: had to say today answering questions from the media.
16:04
Speaker 13: We woke up today, we had a good practice and
16:07
Speaker 13: getting ready to go. Obviously Miami a really talented team
16:09
Speaker 13: and so excited for the opportunity.
16:12
Speaker 14: Questions on skill, left side, middle to rob and then
16:15
Speaker 14: we'll go to Olan.
16:19
Speaker 15: How do he coach? Howdy?
16:21
Speaker 16: So Miami gave up I think like eleven sacks this season,
16:25
Speaker 16: and it's pretty much how you know, how Carson Beck
16:28
Speaker 16: plays is how the Hurricanes go. So what talk about
16:31
Speaker 16: the importance of making him feel uncomfortable and getting to
16:35
Speaker 16: him ever play.
16:36
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think he's an extremely talented quarterback. I think
16:39
Speaker 13: you see that throughout the year. Obviously, he does a
16:41
Speaker 13: really really good job at delivering the football. They got
16:44
Speaker 13: a really explosive passing attack, different variety of screen, short game,
16:49
Speaker 13: pushing the ball down the field, and I think he
16:51
Speaker 13: delivers it all very well, very accurate. They're very talented
16:53
Speaker 13: at wide receiver, and you know, obviously trying to figure
16:57
Speaker 13: out a way to get that out of rhythm will
17:00
Speaker 13: be critical. Not a lot of teams have been successful
17:03
Speaker 13: doing that, and so you don't have to go to
17:05
Speaker 13: work and come up with a good plan on how
17:07
Speaker 13: to try to create a little bit of indecision for
17:09
Speaker 13: him and at least try to muddy the waters a
17:11
Speaker 13: little bit as best we can the.
17:13
Speaker 14: Right side to Allen from Texacs, Mike got a couple
17:16
Speaker 14: of things. Number One, after the Texas game, you said,
17:19
Speaker 14: I think we're talking about rushing defense, and you said,
17:21
Speaker 14: we're going to have to, uh, look at what we're
17:25
Speaker 14: asking our guys to do and if they're able to
17:27
Speaker 14: do it. So I was wondering, you know, if you're
17:29
Speaker 14: able to reveal any evaluations that you came to.
17:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't know that there's any evaluations to reveal.
17:37
Speaker 13: I think that's that's obviously an ongoing conversation that you
17:41
Speaker 13: have as a coach. You know, when you're when you're
17:45
Speaker 13: not doing things at the level you want to see
17:47
Speaker 13: them get done.
17:48
Speaker 15: I think you have to explore it.
17:50
Speaker 13: You can't just point fingers and you know, and so
17:53
Speaker 13: I don't know that there's any like magical revelation to it.
17:56
Speaker 13: I think it's just an ongoing target that we're trying
17:59
Speaker 13: to make sure we pay a lot of attention to.
18:01
Speaker 15: And then somebody's gonna ask you this, So of mme
18:04
Speaker 15: as we'll, uh, they're great.
18:06
Speaker 14: Any anticipation on the.
18:07
Speaker 15: They're great, on the leon or anything, they're great.
18:10
Speaker 13: I knew exactly where we were going with that, and
18:12
Speaker 13: they all appear to be great.
18:14
Speaker 14: Still on the right side.
18:15
Speaker 17: And going to Christie from the AP, I know you
18:17
Speaker 17: guys have much bigger goals and simply getting to the playoffs,
18:20
Speaker 17: But has there been any moment of reflection or appreciation
18:23
Speaker 17: for you know, getting the eggis of the playoffs for
18:26
Speaker 17: the first time, doing something that hasn't been done at
18:27
Speaker 17: the school.
18:28
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, not really.
18:30
Speaker 13: I think obviously there was excitement yesterday to sit in
18:32
Speaker 13: the watch party and see our name go up on
18:34
Speaker 13: the screen, and that's not you know, that moment's not
18:38
Speaker 13: lost on the team or on me. But we have
18:42
Speaker 13: aspirations to do a lot more than just sit in
18:44
Speaker 13: a room and see our name get put on a screen.
18:46
Speaker 13: And so I think very quickly it shifted to now
18:50
Speaker 13: we have we have an opponent, we have a focus.
18:52
Speaker 13: I think you could feel the energy lift. You know,
18:54
Speaker 13: we kind of went right out of there into a
18:56
Speaker 13: team meeting and to get to work on kind of
18:58
Speaker 13: where this thing was going.
18:59
Speaker 15: And so so yeah, it's obviously it's it's the first
19:03
Speaker 15: step is getting in. But I think we want to
19:05
Speaker 15: try to do a little bit more than that.
19:07
Speaker 17: And I know this some of the year football teams
19:10
Speaker 17: are banged up and maybe tom off is good, But
19:11
Speaker 17: is there any challenges to not playing for several weeks?
19:14
Speaker 15: Yeah, for sure.
19:15
Speaker 13: I think you've seen that over the years all the time,
19:18
Speaker 13: and like the bowl season and how you handle, you know,
19:22
Speaker 13: the balancing act of keeping your team fresh, keeping your
19:26
Speaker 13: team excited, practicing hard so that you can maintain the
19:30
Speaker 13: physicality that you need to and the fundamentals that you
19:32
Speaker 13: need to. I think that's a balance that that you
19:35
Speaker 13: spend a lot of time trying to get right. And
19:38
Speaker 13: so we've had that recipe for four years now. This
19:43
Speaker 13: is year four as a head coach, and so we've
19:46
Speaker 13: tinkered it, We've we've tweaked it, but I think we've
19:48
Speaker 13: got a pretty good rhythm of what we're trying to
19:50
Speaker 13: get done and you know, this morning was great. It
19:52
Speaker 13: was great to get back on the grass. Think the
19:54
Speaker 13: kids had a lot of energy running around this morning.
19:56
Speaker 17: And last thing for me.
19:57
Speaker 15: With ket okay, that's okay, that's good.
20:02
Speaker 17: With Cashia is hell And like his journey from you know,
20:06
Speaker 17: no one at a power for school wanted him out
20:08
Speaker 17: of high school to where he is today. Can you
20:10
Speaker 17: just reflect on his journey and like what he means
20:12
Speaker 17: to your team?
20:13
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it's awesome. I think it is.
20:15
Speaker 13: I think, you know, for him to be a kid
20:18
Speaker 13: that we recruited very early on. I've referenced him at
20:21
Speaker 13: times as the OG on this defense because he was
20:24
Speaker 13: one of the first kids to believe and buy into
20:26
Speaker 13: him and will what we were doing here and what
20:28
Speaker 13: we wanted to be about. I think he came here
20:31
Speaker 13: to grow and develop and challenge himself and then to
20:34
Speaker 13: see him rise to those challenges where you know, he's
20:37
Speaker 13: on a plane going to an awards banquet as the
20:40
Speaker 13: defensive player of the Year in the country.
20:42
Speaker 18: Right.
20:42
Speaker 15: It's just it's a phenomenal story. He's a great kid.
20:45
Speaker 13: The work ethic that he has and what he's put
20:47
Speaker 13: into this thing has been awesome. And I know he's
20:50
Speaker 13: excited to try to finish this thing the right way,
20:52
Speaker 13: but it is it's been a really really cool journey.
20:54
Speaker 15: To see him on We'll go to Travis from kt
20:57
Speaker 15: X in the front.
20:58
Speaker 7: With what do we heard Colin and talk in his
21:02
Speaker 7: press conference up there about kind of how he's delegating
21:05
Speaker 7: his time as the CEO. Did you bring in other
21:08
Speaker 7: guys in the offense to kind of help with some
21:12
Speaker 7: of those preparations. What does that kind of look like
21:14
Speaker 7: moving forward with with the offensive side preparations and into this.
21:18
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think one, it's probably a lot more collaborative
21:21
Speaker 13: to begin with, and so I don't know that Colin's
21:25
Speaker 13: you know, he's not the only one, obviously. I think
21:27
Speaker 13: it's a very collaborative process that we go through on offense.
21:31
Speaker 15: I have a ton of confidence.
21:32
Speaker 13: In Colin and who he is as a man and
21:34
Speaker 13: who he is as a competitor that he'll give the
21:37
Speaker 13: focus and energy that he needs to to ensure that
21:39
Speaker 13: this thing is.
21:40
Speaker 15: Done the right way and finish the right way.
21:42
Speaker 13: And so I have no questions about that, and so
21:45
Speaker 13: I think all in we'll be able to manage this
21:47
Speaker 13: thing pretty well.
21:48
Speaker 7: And in finding that the next guy to fill that role.
21:51
Speaker 7: What is that kind of timetable process looks like as
21:54
Speaker 7: you manage everything else that's going on.
21:55
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think I think we're in a pretty good
21:57
Speaker 13: place with it. I think, you know, I think our
21:59
Speaker 13: intention right now or to try to get through the
22:01
Speaker 13: season and and and let that thing play out.
22:05
Speaker 15: But I think, yeah, we're in a really good place
22:06
Speaker 15: with with know in which direction we want to go
22:08
Speaker 15: with that. On the front right with Carter from two, well,
22:12
Speaker 15: I had my question stolen. So do you need a breath?
22:16
Speaker 15: If you want to trade down? Am I?
22:18
Speaker 10: You can trade down? How about that?
22:19
Speaker 13: You''ll let you trade down a couple I'll let you
22:21
Speaker 13: trade down a couple questions and you could re insert
22:24
Speaker 13: later in the third round.
22:26
Speaker 19: I'll have to improvise and just panic pick right here. Okay,
22:31
Speaker 19: we've seen kind of the highs and the lows more
22:34
Speaker 19: way more highs this season with with also play, we
22:38
Speaker 19: talked about the first half of South Carolina a second half. Yeah,
22:42
Speaker 19: you think for a four game stretch, we'll need to
22:44
Speaker 19: kind of happen for you guys to be that consistent
22:47
Speaker 19: high that you all have been at.
22:48
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think we have to understand the urgency of
22:51
Speaker 13: the moment. I think we have to understand what it
22:54
Speaker 13: takes to focus, play in and play out, and to
22:57
Speaker 13: know that you've got to be on the side of
23:00
Speaker 13: the balancing act. I say this all the time. You
23:02
Speaker 13: know you can't play tight in the game of football.
23:04
Speaker 13: If you play tight, you're gonna get beat because you're
23:07
Speaker 13: not going to play your best. But if you're not
23:10
Speaker 13: aware of the moment and you don't rise your focus
23:13
Speaker 13: level to the moment, then you won't be able to
23:15
Speaker 13: match the intensity you need to play at your best either, Right,
23:18
Speaker 13: And that's a really really fine line balancing act. And
23:21
Speaker 13: I think again, the more opportunities we get to play
23:24
Speaker 13: in those types of games, the better it is for
23:27
Speaker 13: our program. It'll be great to be back at home
23:30
Speaker 13: in front of the fans of Kyle Field, and again,
23:34
Speaker 13: it's just another opportunity for us to go out and
23:35
Speaker 13: try to hit it right.
23:37
Speaker 19: And on the OC discussion, as the co OC, how
23:43
Speaker 19: what was coach Wiggins' role kind of look like in
23:47
Speaker 19: that role? And then is he kind of part of
23:50
Speaker 19: the consideration for that new role.
23:52
Speaker 13: Yeah, I probably won't get into the specifics of it all.
23:55
Speaker 13: I got a ton of respect for Homan, I think
23:57
Speaker 13: he does a phenomenal job. Again, you know, no different,
24:01
Speaker 13: no different than when I was a defensive coordinator. And
24:04
Speaker 13: this is to take nothing away from Colin. Collins phenomenal,
24:06
Speaker 13: but I think sometimes there's a belief that it's a
24:09
Speaker 13: one man show.
24:11
Speaker 15: It's never a one man show.
24:12
Speaker 13: You know, as a defensive coordinator, you're only as good
24:14
Speaker 13: as the people around you. As an offensive coordinator, you're
24:17
Speaker 13: at times only as good as the people around you.
24:19
Speaker 13: And obviously Collin's phenomenal and did a phenomenal job for us,
24:24
Speaker 13: But I also think there's a lot of other really
24:26
Speaker 13: talented coaches in that room too.
24:28
Speaker 20: Schill left side of Alex and then Aaron Mattias, etc.
24:33
Speaker 6: But more on the OC. Do you anticipate the next
24:35
Speaker 6: person in that role running a similar system to what
24:38
Speaker 6: Colin has run and what you guys have run so
24:41
Speaker 6: far these first two years.
24:42
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think if you look at you know, our program,
24:48
Speaker 21: you know, from the two years of Duke to the
24:49
Speaker 21: two years of Texas A and M, there's some very
24:51
Speaker 21: strong similarities.
24:53
Speaker 15: In terms of what we look like on offense.
24:55
Speaker 13: Those are probably the philosophical things that I would like
24:59
Speaker 13: a Texas A and M foot ball offense to look like. Obviously,
25:02
Speaker 13: every coordinator is going to have their own slant, twist things,
25:06
Speaker 13: and so there's a base part of the fundamental principles
25:09
Speaker 13: that won't go anywhere, and then there's obviously some of
25:13
Speaker 13: the you know, smaller details that you know they'll be
25:16
Speaker 13: able to put their twist on however they want.
25:18
Speaker 6: And Marcel said on RG three's podcast that he is
25:21
Speaker 6: planning to return next season. I know you said earlier
25:24
Speaker 6: that you guys had a lot of those draft type
25:26
Speaker 6: discussions after the season, but I'm curious if you had
25:29
Speaker 6: had any kind of conversation with him about next year
25:32
Speaker 6: and how much he may benefit from maybe another season
25:34
Speaker 6: in college.
25:35
Speaker 10: No, not yet.
25:36
Speaker 13: I think you know, you don't want to confuse the two,
25:40
Speaker 13: and I think it's it's one of the challenges and
25:42
Speaker 13: you know, for us being in the playoffs, we don't
25:44
Speaker 13: want to get into next year conversations and rock the
25:48
Speaker 13: boat on this year, and so you know, we want
25:51
Speaker 13: to keep our focus on the main thing, which is
25:54
Speaker 13: right now, and I think that's what we're trying to
25:57
Speaker 13: do to the best of our ability. And so you know,
26:00
Speaker 13: there's going to be time for those conversations. Hopefully that's
26:03
Speaker 13: sometime after January twentieth or so.
26:06
Speaker 22: You know.
26:06
Speaker 13: For now, it's it's focused on Miami and playing our
26:09
Speaker 13: best Football's got an erin on.
26:11
Speaker 20: The left, Goads talking about right now obviously finishing the game,
26:16
Speaker 20: staying be finishing strong in the second half, been kind
26:19
Speaker 20: of the mentality for the year. And just now that's
26:21
Speaker 20: the playoff time. Have you seen kind of a change
26:23
Speaker 20: or like a step up in mentality through practice since
26:26
Speaker 20: the Texas game.
26:27
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, we've only been out there once, but yeah,
26:31
Speaker 13: certainly a better urgency as we went through it today.
26:34
Speaker 15: And you know, again, I think part of that is is,
26:38
Speaker 15: you know.
26:38
Speaker 13: The positive sometimes of a loss is it refocuses and
26:42
Speaker 13: recenters everything. And so I think when you're winning, you
26:46
Speaker 13: talk a lot about what needs to get fixed and changed,
26:49
Speaker 13: and it doesn't always seem to happen at the rate
26:51
Speaker 13: you want it to. Then sometimes when you get slapped
26:55
Speaker 13: in the face a little bit, you kind of have
26:57
Speaker 13: to have to, you know, readjust and I think that's
26:59
Speaker 13: may be what will happen from the loss.
27:01
Speaker 2: And so all right, that's a little bit of coach Elco.
27:05
Speaker 2: Earlier today he was asked about the offense and Colin Kleine.
27:11
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Colin Clyde tomorrow. By the way
27:15
Speaker 2: he talked to the people in Manhattan, I thought i'd
27:19
Speaker 2: let you in on a little of that tomorrow on
27:22
Speaker 2: the program of a high school report. Tomorrow, we're gonna
27:29
Speaker 2: hear from I think Trey Zoon tomorrow on the program.
27:34
Speaker 2: So we've got that going on for us, which is nice.
27:38
Speaker 2: And then yeah, we'll have a better idea of the
27:42
Speaker 2: rest of the week.
27:44
Speaker 4: I know that we.
27:44
Speaker 2: Will visit with Kirk Bowles on Friday and check in
27:50
Speaker 2: on all of the prepper preparations for the Citrus Bowl
27:55
Speaker 2: for the people in Austin. Remember, as Steve Spurrier so
28:00
Speaker 2: eloquently once put it, you cannot spell citrus without ut
28:07
Speaker 2: coming up. We're going to hear from Ryan Day, the
28:10
Speaker 2: Ohio State coach. I don't know if his players have
28:18
Speaker 2: the same demeanor today as coach Day has, but let's
28:24
Speaker 2: say he wasn't in the best of moods following the
28:29
Speaker 2: loss to Indiana on Saturday night and then coming up
28:36
Speaker 2: Jimmy Hawkins from It's a Wonderful Life, So be sure
28:42
Speaker 2: and phone the neighbors, wake the kids and let them
28:46
Speaker 2: know that Jimmy Hawkins is going to be on here
28:50
Speaker 2: in about fifteen to twenty minutes. And then we've got
28:53
Speaker 2: the writers round table coming up.
28:55
Speaker 4: We have a.
29:00
Speaker 2: Writer a reserve, Alex Miller is coming off the bench
29:07
Speaker 2: to replace Rusty Berson. I think what happened with Rusty
29:11
Speaker 2: is he actually went to the A and MSMU basketball
29:16
Speaker 2: game yesterday in Arlington.
29:19
Speaker 4: I'm not sure why, but he did.
29:23
Speaker 2: He made this sacrifice and I think he probably needed
29:29
Speaker 2: an extra day to recover from that one.
29:32
Speaker 4: That slop fest yesterday. Lots of whistles.
29:38
Speaker 2: Okay, what's today? What's today to eight? Today's Desemmer eight.
29:45
Speaker 2: So we're seventeen days from Christmas. So we're sixteen days
29:50
Speaker 2: and in some cases fifteen or fifteen and a half
29:52
Speaker 2: days from your last opportunity to get Christmas gifts. And
29:59
Speaker 2: I know that guys are going to wait until like
30:01
Speaker 2: the twenty third, maybe the morning of the twenty fourth,
30:05
Speaker 2: to say, Hey, I got to go get a gift.
30:09
Speaker 4: But I'm going to make it easy for you.
30:11

33:31
Speaker 2: So Robert Earl Keen is on his annual Christmas tour
33:37
Speaker 2: right now. He's up at Tennessee tonight, he'll be in Austin.
33:42
Speaker 2: Maybe it was a week before Christmas. And he's been
33:46
Speaker 2: on obviously with us several times, and I've told him personally,
33:51
Speaker 2: I think that is one of the great songs ever written,
33:54
Speaker 2: not just Christmas songs, one of the great songs ever written.
34:00
Speaker 28: Austin that weekend right before Christmas, and then that Sunday
34:04
Speaker 28: and Monday they'll be in.
34:06
Speaker 4: Houston, Okay.
34:07
Speaker 2: So that's the that's the playoff weekend nineteen twentieth two
34:12
Speaker 2: nights the.
34:14
Speaker 10: Dallas nineteenth twentieth's in Houston in.
34:17
Speaker 2: Austin, Okay, nineteen twentieth in Austin, twenty first in Houston, Okay.
34:23
Speaker 2: See at the House of Blues in Houston. He usually
34:25
Speaker 2: plays the House of Blues in Houston. Yeah, I mean
34:32
Speaker 2: the Christmas show is unique. It always says a theme.
34:40
Speaker 2: I've been to a couple of them and they're I
34:43
Speaker 2: highly recommend them. Okay, let's hear from Ryan Day, the
34:48
Speaker 2: Ohio State football coach who had a really bad night
34:51
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis on Saturday night.
34:53
Speaker 29: Well know, probably I haven't spent a lot of time
34:55
Speaker 29: watching that film already, But as you think about what
34:58
Speaker 29: Brian's gonna have to deal with over the next month,
35:00
Speaker 29: how you want things to go with this offensive game plan.
35:02
Speaker 29: Have you guys started mapping out how you would like
35:04
Speaker 29: things to go over the next thirty months in terms
35:06
Speaker 29: of his involvement and maybe who's calling plays when you
35:09
Speaker 29: guys take.
35:09
Speaker 10: The build service.
35:10
Speaker 30: Yeap ye met on it today and he's going to
35:13
Speaker 30: continue with the same plan. I do think having you know,
35:17
Speaker 30: a you know, three four weeks to prepare for the
35:20
Speaker 30: game will be beneficial. And so we'll still have everybody
35:25
Speaker 30: involved with it, and we're going to work hard to
35:27
Speaker 30: put a game plan together and make sure that we're
35:29
Speaker 30: putting our guys in the best position to be successful.
35:31
Speaker 27: Pat Murphy ran a lot of the guys.
35:35
Speaker 31: The players last night were talking about sort of beating themselves,
35:38
Speaker 31: mistakes they made, just feeling like it was more down
35:42
Speaker 31: than necessarily Indiana while giving in the end of credit.
35:44
Speaker 31: Now that you've watched the film a little bit, how
35:47
Speaker 31: much do you see that and stuff that can be
35:49
Speaker 31: corrected here before you go on this run, And how
35:51
Speaker 31: much is it things that maybe we were more what
35:54
Speaker 31: Indiana was doing and defenses that are more difficult.
35:57
Speaker 30: Well, I think any time you're playing this time of year,
35:59
Speaker 30: whether it's in the ten championship ward in the playoffs,
36:01
Speaker 30: you're playing against good teams. So we never want to,
36:05
Speaker 30: you know, not give credit to our opponent. They played
36:06
Speaker 30: a good game, and but it's clear that we were
36:09
Speaker 30: not at our best, you know, coaches and players. So
36:14
Speaker 30: we need to be moving forward, and you know, this
36:16
Speaker 30: is certainly an opportunity for us to you know, learn
36:19
Speaker 30: from that game. And when you leave it to one
36:23
Speaker 30: play in all three phases, you put yourself at risk.
36:27
Speaker 30: And you know, the idea of leaving no doubt did
36:29
Speaker 30: not happened the other night. So you know we're gonna,
36:33
Speaker 30: you know, make sure that we get on the film
36:35
Speaker 30: and you know we certainly you said, I haven't watched
36:37
Speaker 30: that I've watched at all. A bunch didn't sleep well
36:39
Speaker 30: last night, you know, have a six stomach and my
36:43
Speaker 30: feeling over the game, and so you know, sort of
36:46
Speaker 30: these these guys here, but once you wake up the
36:49
Speaker 30: next morning and figure out what the new mission is
36:51
Speaker 30: and it gives you some direction that way.
36:53
Speaker 10: But we'll use this as motivation.
36:56
Speaker 32: H Jeremy berminghe you haven't lost a lot of games
37:00
Speaker 32: as a head coach, who it seems like, at least
37:03
Speaker 32: from the outside looking in, that a lot of times
37:05
Speaker 32: the losses sort of follow a similar script.
37:08
Speaker 27: Is there?
37:09
Speaker 33: And you've often talked about scheme versus personnel versus execution.
37:13
Speaker 33: Is there one of those things that you feel like
37:15
Speaker 33: is a recurring issue over the years that maybe you
37:17
Speaker 33: can pitpoint or say like, this is something that's regularly
37:21
Speaker 33: happened when we've had these sort of performances.
37:22
Speaker 30: Well, I think you know, we did have one turnover
37:25
Speaker 30: on offense and we really didn't strike any balance. I
37:28
Speaker 30: think that's probably one of the things. You know, we
37:30
Speaker 30: I think called thirty five passes and twenty two runs
37:34
Speaker 30: and you know, didn't really get the run game going.
37:37
Speaker 30: We had five sacks and then third down in red
37:40
Speaker 30: zone certainly was not good. And so you know, when
37:43
Speaker 30: you're not winning the situations, you don't have balance. You
37:45
Speaker 30: know that that is a recipe for you know, not
37:48
Speaker 30: a very good day on offense. So I know everybody
37:51
Speaker 30: in the program is looking at it to figure out
37:53
Speaker 30: how they can get better.
37:53
Speaker 10: But we need to have balance, that's for sure.
37:56
Speaker 34: Andy.
37:56
Speaker 2: And yeah, just so you mentioned the sacks, thoughts on
38:01
Speaker 2: the offensive lines performance and just what maybe needs to
38:04
Speaker 2: improve and.
38:04
Speaker 30: Pass protection, well, they have a good defensive front, and
38:09
Speaker 30: you know, it's always a combination of things. You know,
38:11
Speaker 30: we can we can do a better job of, you know,
38:13
Speaker 30: designing some plays that get out of the quarterback's hand
38:15
Speaker 30: a little bit faster.
38:16
Speaker 10: We were looking to.
38:16
Speaker 30: Push the ball down the field early in the game
38:18
Speaker 30: and we broke down a little bit. But that's everybody involved.
38:21
Speaker 30: So we'll look to get better at it and make
38:24
Speaker 30: sure that you know, you know, we're in that situation
38:26
Speaker 30: again that we're putting our guys in the best position
38:29
Speaker 30: to be successful. But at the same time, you know,
38:31
Speaker 30: guy's got to do their job as well. So everyone's
38:33
Speaker 30: looking at it and making sure that we're doing our
38:34
Speaker 30: part to do a better job.
38:37
Speaker 10: Awesome work NX that point.
38:38
Speaker 28: What and when you look at just structuring the week's
38:42
Speaker 28: head and it's just happened and just got the matchups
38:45
Speaker 28: the destination. But what's the practice schedule look like, what's
38:48
Speaker 28: the scouting look like with two opponents for the next
38:50
Speaker 28: couple of weeks.
38:51
Speaker 10: What's what's the plan moving forward here?
38:53
Speaker 30: Yeap went through with the team here just about half
38:55
Speaker 30: an hour ago, and you know the goal is to
38:58
Speaker 30: be at max you know, maximum speed, effort, violence, you know,
39:04
Speaker 30: really peaking at the end of the month here, because
39:07
Speaker 30: you know it's a significant layoff. So the first thing
39:10
Speaker 30: we want to do is the guys who have played
39:11
Speaker 30: significant amount of football, let them get their legs underneath them.
39:15
Speaker 30: But also as we get into next week, make sure
39:17
Speaker 30: that you know they're keeping their edge. I think that's
39:20
Speaker 30: important because it's it's not like a bye week and
39:22
Speaker 30: this is a long layoff. And last last year, you know,
39:26
Speaker 30: we had the first round game and then we were right
39:28
Speaker 30: back into it and find ourselves in a rhythm.
39:29
Speaker 10: So that's something that you know, we're really looking at hard.
39:32
Speaker 30: You know, visited on it today with Mick and Quinn
39:34
Speaker 30: and making sure we're putting together the right plan.
39:37
Speaker 10: You know, put together a.
39:38
Speaker 30: Really good practice schedule around Christmas, travel down there, I
39:42
Speaker 30: believe in the twenty eighth, and then keep a lot
39:44
Speaker 30: of the same things as we got closer to the
39:46
Speaker 30: game as we did last year. So to answer your question,
39:49
Speaker 30: want to get the guys healthy, want to get them
39:51
Speaker 30: rested physically, mentally, emotionally.
39:55
Speaker 10: There's a lot of guys hurting after that game. You know,
39:56
Speaker 10: they were all pissed, just like all of us.
39:58
Speaker 30: But you know, you got to wake up and move
40:00
Speaker 30: on and you know, figure out how to get those
40:02
Speaker 30: things fixed. But then also physically, but you know, not
40:05
Speaker 30: so much that you know, we lose our edge. So
40:07
Speaker 30: that's that's the balance that we're looking to. We're looking
40:10
Speaker 30: to strike here in terms of the practice schedule and
40:12
Speaker 30: how we're putting that together.
40:15
Speaker 28: Having looked at the film, what do you would what
40:19
Speaker 28: would you what did you feel like you learned some.
40:20
Speaker 10: Of those red zone sequences? Having having the benefit of season, Well,
40:26
Speaker 10: you know, we found ourselves down in there.
40:28
Speaker 30: You know, certainly the game plan going in was that
40:30
Speaker 30: you ne sa Us and some two and three tight
40:32
Speaker 30: end sets that we felt like we could get some
40:34
Speaker 30: movement down there and get the ball vertical into the
40:36
Speaker 30: end zone, and that didn't have it consistently. You know,
40:40
Speaker 30: on the third and one you know looked you know,
40:42
Speaker 30: or you know, in a couple of things we rolled
40:44
Speaker 30: out try to get a couple of play actions.
40:45
Speaker 10: Those weren't you know successful.
40:48
Speaker 30: So it was a combination of you know, not you know,
40:51
Speaker 30: getting enough movement in the run game and not you know,
40:54
Speaker 30: executing and you know, game planning well enough, I guess,
40:58
Speaker 30: and scheming it up well enough in the past game.
40:59
Speaker 30: So you know, it felt like on the second fourth down,
41:03
Speaker 30: like I mentioned to you, that we could get three points,
41:05
Speaker 30: get out of there and move on getting to maybe
41:07
Speaker 30: get a chance to win the game at the end
41:08
Speaker 30: or overtime. But when you have two drives install like that,
41:12
Speaker 30: you know, if you kick two field goals, you know
41:15
Speaker 30: you win the game. You can score one touchdown, you
41:17
Speaker 30: win the game. He scored two touchdowns. It's you know,
41:20
Speaker 30: twenty four thirteen, and you know, you're just a whole
41:23
Speaker 30: different situation. But that's that's these types of games, that's
41:26
Speaker 30: these matchup games. So as coaches, we've got to go
41:28
Speaker 30: in there and make sure we're putting our guys in
41:29
Speaker 30: the right situation to be successful, and then at the
41:31
Speaker 30: same time, we got to make sure that we're executing
41:32
Speaker 30: them well. So it's all the above, and that's that's
41:35
Speaker 30: what hurts on days like today, you know, when you
41:37
Speaker 30: feel like you came up short and then you got
41:39
Speaker 30: to go move on, take your medicine and get it
41:42
Speaker 30: figured out.
41:44
Speaker 35: Coach, I know you guys are bummed out you lost.
41:47
Speaker 35: Nobody wants to win more than you guys do. But
41:49
Speaker 35: that said, you've been in this position before. There's a
41:52
Speaker 35: lot of football to go. How do you expect your
41:56
Speaker 35: club to respond now? And I don't know what we
42:00
Speaker 35: your message.
42:00
Speaker 10: To Yeah, we're going to respond like men.
42:02
Speaker 30: You know what, can I sit around in point fingers
42:03
Speaker 30: and feel sorry for ourselves?
42:04
Speaker 10: We lost, We are not at our best.
42:07
Speaker 30: Everybody in including myself, including the coaches, everybody, And so
42:12
Speaker 30: that's what you have to do.
42:13
Speaker 10: And then you got to address what the problems are
42:15
Speaker 10: and get them fixed.
42:16
Speaker 30: You know, when when you lose a game like that,
42:18
Speaker 30: you can't just you know, you know, feel sorry for
42:22
Speaker 30: yourself or you know, point fingers. You have to get
42:25
Speaker 30: the issues fixed. And so certainly the red zone was
42:28
Speaker 30: one of them. Balance on offense, there's some things certainly
42:31
Speaker 30: that I know, the guys on defense you don't want
42:34
Speaker 30: to get addressed as well.
42:35
Speaker 10: And special teams.
42:38
Speaker 30: Now on defense, you know, I think we held them
42:39
Speaker 30: to thirteen points, which is the least that's been the
42:42
Speaker 30: last two years. So there's a lot of good football
42:44
Speaker 30: being played there. Now that being said, you know, the
42:46
Speaker 30: goal is to win. Remember we talked about that last year,
42:48
Speaker 30: like win the game, and you know, there were opportunities
42:51
Speaker 30: to win the game just across the board in all
42:53
Speaker 30: three phases, but we certainly were not at our best
42:57
Speaker 30: and that that's the bottom line. So we need to
42:59
Speaker 30: be moving forward with the teams we're going to play,
43:01
Speaker 30: because everybody that's in this playoff are really good teams
43:05
Speaker 30: as we know. So you know, hopefully we're able to
43:09
Speaker 30: have a great month and prepare and then go play
43:10
Speaker 30: in this Cotton Bowl and be at our best.
43:12
Speaker 22: All right.
43:13
Speaker 2: That's Ryan Day and Ohio State would be the opponent
43:18

Speaker 41: Chriss come this time, well, thanks for joining us.
47:09
Speaker 2: Got the writers round table coming up here at about
47:13
Speaker 2: fifty to twenty minutes. But I was able to visit
47:18
Speaker 2: with actor Jimmy Hawkins. He played Tommy Bailey, the youngest
47:23
Speaker 2: boy of George Bailey in the icoic Christmas movie It's
47:28
Speaker 2: a Wonderful Life.
47:30
Speaker 1: Jimmy, how are you.
47:32
Speaker 27: I'm great. Thanks for having me on your show.
47:34
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, it's a treat. You were really young.
47:38
Speaker 2: At what point did you realize that you were part
47:41
Speaker 2: of one of the most iconic films in the history
47:43
Speaker 2: of cinema.
47:46
Speaker 22: Well, basically it was in the early nineties. You know,
47:51
Speaker 22: I had seen it showing on TV more and more
47:55
Speaker 22: and more and more, and Paul Peterson I sat on
47:58
Speaker 22: the board of the Donna Reed Foundation, and we went
48:01
Speaker 22: to her hometown for twenty five years to do a festival,
48:06
Speaker 22: and we wanted to do something special, So I said,
48:09
Speaker 22: why don't we write a book?
48:10
Speaker 27: And he swell, what's the subject?
48:12
Speaker 22: I said, well, you know, everybody thinks they know all
48:15
Speaker 22: about It's Wonderful Life. Why don't we write a trivia
48:17
Speaker 22: book and challenge them? And I said, I know stuff
48:20
Speaker 22: about the movie nobody knows, and we can really make
48:23
Speaker 22: those the hard questions. And so we did, and we
48:26
Speaker 22: got a random house to publish it, and the rest
48:32
Speaker 22: is history.
48:32
Speaker 40: It just.
48:35
Speaker 22: Everybody wants to talk about different parts of its wonderful.
48:39
Speaker 22: So I wrote a Wonderful Life for Kids book because
48:43
Speaker 22: parents would always tell me, oh, I have my I
48:46
Speaker 22: sat down with my family, my dad and mom, and
48:49
Speaker 22: watched it. And now I have a family and they
48:52
Speaker 22: sit down and watch it too, and I and they
48:55
Speaker 22: introduced me to their little six year old or whatever.
48:58
Speaker 22: I said, your dad, make you watch that movie about
49:01
Speaker 22: banking and everything. And I said, they don't know about banking,
49:05
Speaker 22: but kids know about certain things. So I wrote the
49:11
Speaker 22: movie and my new book from the point of view
49:14
Speaker 22: of Tommy Bailey. And he has to take over a
49:20
Speaker 22: big school project and raise eighty dollars for getting books
49:26
Speaker 22: for the school, and he loses it. And now a
49:29
Speaker 22: little kid the age of these readers are going through
49:35
Speaker 22: the same thing. They get to see what life would
49:37
Speaker 22: have been like if they weren't born. So I have
49:41
Speaker 22: different things, but this new one is extremely different. I
49:44
Speaker 22: got a different photo for the cover of the book
49:48
Speaker 22: that captures the Bailey family and nobody's ever used this
49:51
Speaker 22: photo or gotten it before. So the book is all different,
49:56
Speaker 22: and the just a look and a feel. But the reader,
50:01
Speaker 22: you're important.
50:02
Speaker 1: So do you go for what do you remember?
50:06
Speaker 4: Again?
50:07
Speaker 1: How old were you at the time, Jimmy four and
50:10
Speaker 1: a half?
50:10
Speaker 4: Four and a half a half A big deal. Yeah,
50:13
Speaker 4: the half is a big deal.
50:14
Speaker 1: But what memories do you have just making that film?
50:21
Speaker 22: It's vivid now. I've been very fortunate in my acting career.
50:25
Speaker 22: I did over forty.
50:26
Speaker 27: Movies, and i did over three hundred TV shows.
50:31
Speaker 22: And I've seen movies that I did at seven or
50:35
Speaker 22: eight and I don't ever remember doing them. I don't
50:38
Speaker 22: remember going to the studio or anything. But yet it's
50:42
Speaker 22: wonderful if it's very vivid. I remember having to get
50:46
Speaker 22: up early it was dark, and go with street cars
50:49
Speaker 22: and buses to the studio and get there and be
50:53
Speaker 22: on that set, you know, everybody running around lights on
50:57
Speaker 22: big Christmas tree in May and snow on the ground
51:02
Speaker 22: in front of the house on the stage, and I
51:06
Speaker 22: remember Capra squatting down telling me what he wanted me
51:10
Speaker 22: to do in a scene, say excuse me here, Yeah,
51:14
Speaker 22: and sitting with Jimmy Stewart's flap put tinsel on his head.
51:19
Speaker 22: He would give me a lot of business to do
51:22
Speaker 22: in between dialogue, and it's so vivid, and I go,
51:27
Speaker 22: why why do I remember that so vividly at four
51:31
Speaker 22: and a half? Yet stuff you did at seven you
51:34
Speaker 22: don't even remember. So I was blessed all along with
51:39
Speaker 22: this film and keeping it going and telling people more
51:44
Speaker 22: about it and more about it. It's just it's been
51:49
Speaker 22: very blessed to be able to talk about it and
51:53
Speaker 22: carry Frank Capra's message because he's not here anymore. So
51:57
Speaker 22: the Daily Kids carried out for him. And now there's
52:01
Speaker 22: two of us left and me and Carolyn grime Zuzu.
52:06
Speaker 22: Janie has some health issues and she hasn't been able
52:09
Speaker 22: to join us, but she was a big, big, big
52:12
Speaker 22: part of our last thirty years and.
52:17
Speaker 27: She's wonderful.
52:19
Speaker 2: Give me a Jimmy Stewart story. Can you give me
52:21
Speaker 2: a good Jimmy Stewart story.
52:26
Speaker 27: Before or after?
52:27
Speaker 11: Well?
52:28
Speaker 27: I remember talking to him about the movie at a.
52:33
Speaker 22: Party and the colorization, yes, yes, come up And what
52:41
Speaker 22: he thought of the colorization was funny to me. He
52:45
Speaker 22: told me, he says, you know, Jimmy looks like Walt
52:48
Speaker 22: Disney threw up on it.
52:55
Speaker 27: Very nice man, very giving. I'd sent him.
52:59
Speaker 22: I had a fifth anniversary book, Big Coffee Table Book
53:03
Speaker 22: came out, and I sent him a bunch of copies
53:06
Speaker 22: to sign for various charities. And at that time he
53:13
Speaker 22: passed away, and the next week the books came back,
53:17
Speaker 22: all signed. So he was giving to the end to me.
53:20
Speaker 22: And he was just a giver in life. He just
53:24
Speaker 22: was that kind of person.
53:26
Speaker 27: And so.
53:30
Speaker 22: Any story about Jimmy Stewart's a nice story. It's a
53:34
Speaker 22: true story. If people tell you something nice and they
53:37
Speaker 22: you say, well, you didn't know him.
53:39
Speaker 27: A lot of people they want dirt.
53:41
Speaker 1: Sure, you know, sure.
53:42
Speaker 27: I co starred Elvis in a couple of films, and people.
53:45
Speaker 22: All want to know all about his wonderful life. And
53:48
Speaker 22: then at the end they lean in and say.
53:51
Speaker 1: Elvis, Yeah, he wasn't really that nice.
53:53
Speaker 40: Was he.
53:54
Speaker 27: Oh he was great, He really was.
53:57
Speaker 2: And that's what everybody will tell you. Everybody that knew
53:59
Speaker 2: of we'll say the same thing.
54:02
Speaker 27: Yeah, and he was.
54:03
Speaker 22: He just made you feel at home and relax and
54:06
Speaker 22: tell a joke and you know, do some business on
54:10
Speaker 22: the in a scene he all, I like that.
54:12
Speaker 1: Do that again, Jimmy.
54:13
Speaker 2: What what is it that continues to this day to
54:19
Speaker 2: capture the hearts of people with this movie.
54:22
Speaker 27: It's the message that we're all important.
54:25
Speaker 22: Yeah, one man can make a difference, and each life
54:29
Speaker 22: touches so many others we would be missed.
54:33
Speaker 27: And they get that message. They think that every day they.
54:37
Speaker 22: Go to work, come home, have a beer, nothing, But
54:40
Speaker 22: no they see George Bailey. George Bailey didn't think he
54:43
Speaker 22: did anything either, and look what happened when he got
54:46
Speaker 22: to see what life would have been like.
54:48
Speaker 15: Oh my god.
54:49
Speaker 22: It went from Bedford Falls to Pottersville, just a trash
54:52
Speaker 22: town and everything just because of one man getting people
54:56
Speaker 22: alone for a house, just doing what's right in life
55:00
Speaker 22: for people. You know, there's just so much greed now,
55:04
Speaker 22: it's awful. It's just I just see it everywhere and
55:08
Speaker 22: you just go, what a shame. These people could have
55:10
Speaker 22: it all and it still wouldn't be enough.
55:13
