57
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

58
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: When you're looking at the remaining schedule for BYU basketball, okay,

59
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,039
you hope that they're they're on the right track. They

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,000
can get back to their winning ways right now. Okay,

61
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,879
we have Colorado. You're at U of A, you take

62
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,199
on Iowa State at home, U c F at home.

63
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,719
Speaker 1: Then you're at West Virginia at Cincinnati.

64
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: Then you welcome Texas Tech uh to the friendly confines

65
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:44,120
of the Marriage Center.

66
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Seven games left.

67
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: What will the record be for the coops in these

68
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:48,719
final seven games?

69
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't think I'm speaking

70
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,560
out of turn as if I say that without some

71
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,439
series defensive adjustments, and I think you saw some of those,

72
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:03,120
particularly in the second half Baylor, it's going to be

73
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:05,280
some more tough setting for BYU, Like they've got to

74
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,000
play better defense. I've got a lock in a little

75
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,439
bit better. If this is a team that has incredible lengths,

76
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,199
I think on the defensive side of the basketball, when

77
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240
they utilize it, I think they're a good defensive team.

78
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,319
They've gone away with that for the past couple of games.

79
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Now that being said, I think, speaking to your point,

80
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,560
something that was overlooked a little during this four game

81
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,639
losing skid was the quality of competition that BYU face.

82
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:32,080
You know, yesterday at Baylor was a game that BYU

83
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:36,080
quite frankly had to win for morale reason, for vibes reasons,

84
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:38,560
in addition to the fact that they had just lost

85
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:39,960
four in a row, like they needed to be able

86
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
to put something together to prove that they weren't just

87
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,159
going to get run over by the rest of the

88
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:50,039
Big twelve schedule. But the previous four games before that,

89
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,800
and I'll even include Oklahoma State to an extent, and there,

90
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680
I mean, these were four very good teams, certainly three

91
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
of the four all rings in the Top twenty five

92
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:02,479
Top twenty, Top fifteam now through them in uh In, Arizona, Houston,

93
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400
and Kansas. Like, I don't think there's any shame necessarily

94
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:08,719
in b what you losing to those three teams in particular,

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,479
unless you really want to get into kind of the

96
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,680
manner of sort of how they how they lost to

97
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:15,599
some of them. Certainly that Houston game comes to buy

98
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,000
with how they lost to them, But losing to a

99
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,319
top ten Houston team coached by Kelvin Sampson teams and

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,600
climbing is going to be a lottery pick in the

101
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,439
NBA draft whenever he decided to leave college. Quite frankly,

102
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,439
whether it's this year or in the future. Uh So, Like,

103
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,360
I don't think by you had necessarily any bad losses

104
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,079
in that four game stretch, But going on the road

105
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:41,480
to a hostile environment, uh you know, there weren't as

106
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
bad a chance that popped up as what we heard

107
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,839
about and wrote about and talked about everything. Uh In

108
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,040
still out of Oklahoma, but there was still some pretty

109
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,399
hostile chants that came out of out of Foster Pavilion man,

110
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,560
and I think BYU just proving that they could overcome

111
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,439
that should help should have fans feeling a little bit

112
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,240
more confident for the rest of the schedule. Now that

113
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,759
being said, there are still some very good teams and

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,519
they got to go You mentioned they got to go

115
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,160
to Arizona. That right now doesn't feel like a game

116
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,959
the by you can necessarily win right now. And I

117
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,120
say that knowing that it didn't feel that way when

118
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,160
BAU went to Arizona last year. And looks what happened

119
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:19,360
to Tuza, right, it's the Big twelve. The surprises happened,

120
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120
shocks happens. But I think being able to write the

121
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,240
ship and prove that they can right the ship, you

122
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,959
got to feel a little bit better about BYU at

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,240
least splitting the rest of the league season and getting

124
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,519
into the conference tournament with one of those top half seeds,

125
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,800
and then you kind of see where it goes from there.

126
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,160
This is an NCAA Tournament caliber team. Finishing out the

127
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,319
rest of the season is what's going to determine if

128
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120
this is like a six to seven seed and I'm

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,600
going the meme right now, so or if it's more

130
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,439
like a four seed.

131
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: I like it. Where are you predicting right now?

132
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 2: So let's say they go four and three in the

133
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,639
final seven games, right, and that would put them I

134
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,560
believe lease, you know, I think around like five hundred,

135
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,480
a little above five hundred in Big twelve play there,

136
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,240
you know, what type of sheeting do you predict they'll

137
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,279
get if they if they.

138
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: Go that route, I think that would put them probably

139
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,240
right around the middle of the pack in the Big twelve.

140
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:24,879
I think somewhere seven, eight, nine, somewhere in there. I mean,

141
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,079
I think that's probably I think this is a team

142
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,879
that's in the top half of the league. How high

143
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:32,360
into the top half of the league, I think is

144
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:37,759
is where the question is, like there is a and

145
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,480
again with the caveat that it's the Big twelve and

146
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:42,519
things can change literally in a matter of a weekend,

147
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,839
because that's just how good and how deep this league is.

148
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,600
All but one team ranked in the top one hundred

149
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,000
of the net. Every team in the league ranked in

150
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,319
the top I think it's one forty or one fifty

151
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,360
of the net. Like this is. This is a very

152
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,079
good league. So things can change on any given weekend.

153
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,079
But I think you're starting to see a little bit

154
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:02,639
of like a top four kind of stratify in itself

155
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,000
right there, and I think the UYU is just outside

156
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,879
of that. So they're probably somewhere in that sort of

157
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:11,079
that we're going fourteen tiers. They're probably somewhere right around

158
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:14,720
the edge of that second tier of fourteam, you know,

159
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:18,040
right in that seven, eight, nine range, somewhere in there,

160
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,199
which gives them a vibe and on the plan the

161
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:23,480
first day of the conference tournament. That'll help, and maybe

162
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,120
that's even better for their NCAA tournament helps because then

163
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,120
they can get into a game, get into get into

164
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,680
a little bit of a rhythm in Kansas City to

165
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,439
try to take over into the NCAA tournament as well.

167
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,800
KJLKJL dot com. Sean, this, this Bway basketball team, I

168
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360
think is still a very good to great team.

169
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,839
Speaker 1: The big three are who they are. Who do you.

170
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,439
Speaker 2: Expect from the supporting cast to step up and finally

171
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,240
make an impact?

172
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:00,519
Speaker 1: Here, Hadeem stepped up. You see the guy.

173
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,959
Speaker 2: We've seen maybe flashes from others from time to time,

174
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,040
but who who's going to be the guy or guys

175
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,279
that are gonna step up consistently down this stretch.

176
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Heideman move actually had a very good

177
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,639
game against Baylor. He did a lot of journey works

178
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,120
that doesn't always get notice. Uh, scored a bucket here

179
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,519
and there. I mean, he was good. He's he's just

180
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,160
he's so versatile. He can rebound for you, he can

181
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:25,279
guard a little that use the langl on the perimeter defensively,

182
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120
like he's he's the kind of guy who I think

183
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,959
is maybe the easy answer right now again with recency

184
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:34,159
bias and all of that, uh, in terms of of

185
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,600
something that this team needs, Like they've got role players

186
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,320
besides that big three. You know, Quebe Kita's not coming

187
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,639
out of the starting lineup because he's the team's leading

188
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,600
rope rebounder. He's uh, probably I think their best rim protector.

189
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:50,720
You can maybe make an argument for for the do

190
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,720
but it's it's probably Kida and I don't think there's

191
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,399
too much of an argument there. But dude's got a

192
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,960
nice little role uh defensively as well. I think I

193
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320
think Hadem gives you a little bit of that pop

194
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,799
again some size on the edge. He can play. I mean, really,

195
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,519
he could play them all well five if he wants to.

196
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,279
But at the very least they know we're two to

197
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,440
four a little bit interchangeable as well. Doesn't why I

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,200
have a shot needs to work on a shot some

199
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:18,720
but again we're talking role players, and I think most

200
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,360
importantly what this team needs out of the supporting cast.

201
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,600
Out of those role players. Kevin Young's brought it up

202
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,159
over and over again, especially during that four game skid,

203
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,919
is they need shooters. They need a just spot up

204
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,759
three point shooters to come off the bench and provide

205
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:36,240
a little bit of a spark and a little bit

206
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:38,559
of extra energy. That's what they were lacking when they

207
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,759
lost four in a row. Quite frankly, he didn't totally

208
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:45,799
get it back. They didn't totally get it back last night,

209
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,240
but you saw Rob Wright kind of play that role,

210
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,639
fill that role a little bit. I'd like to see

211
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,879
something come from maybe like an Alexi Coastitch or Mihailo

212
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,120
Boskovich who can do a little bit of that. I'd

213
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,919
like to see that will out of one of them

214
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,080
to step up. And I think if that, if they

215
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,960
get that, then this team suddenly becomes a little bit

216
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,559
more of what we thought they could be in preseason

217
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,519
and non conference play.

218
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Sean, let's pivot.

219
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Let's talk some BYU football Cougar's in the pros. Jack Kelly,

220
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:24,600
Chase Roberts invited to the NFL Combine which of the

221
00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:28,360
Cougar football players eligible for a Combine invite? Can you

222
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,600
make an argument got snubbed they should have got the invite.

223
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:35,759
Speaker 3: I think you can make a pretty serious argument for

224
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,440
a lot of linemens that are coming in offensively or defensively.

225
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:40,960
I would really like to see what a guy like

226
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
Weyla ma Blahu does did at the Combine. I know

227
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,639
combine spots are sometimes a little bit different for offensive

228
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,639
linemen in particular, but this is the guy that I

229
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,519
think could be a very solid rotational piece in an

230
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:57,039
NFL system, and he's a great locker room presence. His

231
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,559
teammates love him. They all raise about Whatalen I think

232
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,720
that could have been. I think that probably could have

233
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,679
been a pretty good one. But I've got no argument

234
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,320
going against Chase Roberts or Jack Kelly. Like both of

235
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,519
those guys should hear their names called in the NFL

236
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,639
Draft next April. I think going to the Combine, a

237
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,519
good pro day experience, a good you know, good round

238
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:19,399
of the interviews, that sort of thing will only help

239
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,840
them significantly. I'll even go out on a limb and

240
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,840
I'll say I think Jack Kelly could wind up in

241
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,600
hearing his name called somewhere in the first two days

242
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,720
of the draft. He's a guy that if an NFL

243
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:34,799
team really gets to know who he is, really dies

244
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,759
in his name. She's what he did both at Weaver

245
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,320
State and in his time at BYU. I don't think

246
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,360
you want him slipping into like one of those you know, fifth, sixth,

247
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:46,879
even seventh rounders, and there you want to go in

248
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,240
and grab him up with with some kind of surety

249
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,039
and certainty because he's I won't pretend like he's a

250
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,440
game changing linebacker in the NFL, but I think he's

251
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,399
kind of that next level where you want to make

252
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,799
sure you go out and get him.

253
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Jack is.

254
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: A fantastic prospect. Chase robertson intriguing prospect. If he tests

255
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,000
out well with this productivity, with his size, with his tangibles,

256
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,519
I'd imagine he'd be a mid round draftable prospect obviously,

257
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:23,200
Chase Roberts giving me a synopsis of where you think

258
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,519
Chase could go if he tests well.

259
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:27,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think Chase could be a very reliable

260
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,039
NFL receiver just because he does a lot of things well.

261
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:34,960
He does you know, he performs well in a lot

262
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,559
of areas route running, hands, speed wise, knowledge of the

263
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,159
game again, kind of that locker room component as well.

264
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,279
I think there are a lot of things that he

265
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,679
just does well. His challenge is going to be proving

266
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,720
to NFL teams that he can be elite in at

267
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,759
least one area of the game. You didn't always see

268
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:57,120
that out of Chase Roberts. I think if he can

269
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:59,840
show that he's an elite route runner or has elite hands,

270
00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:02,279
or or he didn't always have that over the top

271
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,159
burner speed, maybe he can show a little bit more

272
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:07,759
of that through a good combine and pro day and

273
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360
individual workouts that kind of thing. Then I think he

274
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:14,120
suddenly catapults himself into a guy the teams have to

275
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,879
go chase down to get rather than a guy who's

276
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,879
just kind of there and they bring him into to

277
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:20,159
see what they have out of him.

278
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,159
Speaker 2: One last thing hot or not. A little throwback from

279
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,080
the mid two thousands, hot or not. The big twelve

280
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:32,879
glass digital basketball court hot or not.

281
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna look, I've got nothing against this led

282
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:41,080
lighting glass court. I think it could be cool. I

283
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,360
think there are some really neat things they could come

284
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,399
from it. I saw how it worked actually during a

285
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,919
euro League game last summer. I can't remember it was

286
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:51,759
who was playing, but it was a random middle of

287
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:54,279
the night came on ESPN Plus that I just happened

288
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:57,039
to come across. So I think it could be cool.

289
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:58,919
But I have to give it a knot because of

290
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,039
the way Brett your ease this announcement, the way the

291
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Big Twelve didn't want to announce anything, but they teased

292
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,279
that an announcement was coming today. This this is not

293
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:11,279
the kind of announcement that you piece. This is not

294
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,840
game changing, This is not something that every league is

295
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,120
going to have to have. This is not changing the

296
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240
caliber of college basketball the conference tournaments as we know it. Like,

297
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,639
what are we doing, guys? This is an announcement that

298
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:24,799
you roll out your press release when it's ready. You

299
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,559
don't you don't try to overhype it. You don't try

300
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,759
to tease it for more than this. Uh, Because I

301
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:30,200
think there are a lot of people that, quite frankly

302
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,039
right now, are less very disappointed because there were there

303
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,600
were some rumors about, you know, maybe the conference tournament

304
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:37,639
is going to move, which, by the way, it was

305
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,120
never leaving Kansas City for twenty thirty long guys tay

306
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:42,320
to bring it to you. But there was there was

307
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,679
some talk about like, well, maybe they'll change the format

308
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,600
of the tournament, you know, put in an extra advis

309
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:50,840
system or you know, there there were all sorts of things.

310
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:54,679
Maybe they stopped the tournament because I think we've had

311
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,399
this conversation before. Ben Conference tournaments and power leagues are

312
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,600
kind of appointments right now when it comes to in

313
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,639
CA tournament selection. So there were there were a lot

314
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,879
of rumors that like maybe this announcement could be jumping

315
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,799
a lot more than it was. Just announce just announce

316
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,639
it an thing, like we don't need to tease. This

317
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
is not something that we can tease. So again, is

318
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,120
it a cool concept? Sure? Is it a great idea?

319
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,080
Uh yeah, I mean we'll see. Like I'm I'm willing

320
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,159
to give it a try and give the But in

321
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,200
terms of an oldment, it's it's a myth. It's one

322
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,320
percent nod, it's a myth. It's I could have done

323
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720
with getting this press release in my press box in

324
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:32,559
my you know, boxing today and seeing seeing some videos

325
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,120
and photos floating around Twitter, and oh yeah, that's kind

326
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,919
of cool. But to tease, to tease the announcement of

327
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,639
an announcement. No, that's that's a miss. That's a no.

328
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:43,919
Please don't ever do it again.

329
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,039
Speaker 1: Don't do it, not do not do it. Sean.
