We talked to earlier 26 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.400 this week that it's been pretty quiet since Ryan Johnson 27 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.359 was named GM in terms of appointments by him and 28 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.200 by the Sedines. He took care of that yesterday, hiring 29 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.519 Richard Seely to take care of his old job as 30 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.760 assistant GM of the Canucks and GM of the Abbotsford Canucks. 31 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.799 We'll talk about that a little bit later. And by 32 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.280 the way, we had you can show that shot again. 33 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.079 We had a huge argument just before the show about 34 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.200 who Richard Seeley looks like, and we'll talk about that later. 35 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.680 I am so right. You and Quinn are so wrong, 36 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.959 So we'll deal with that later. You look forward to that. 37 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.840 Who does Richard Silly look like? 38 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.760 You know, you don't have to look forward to that. 39 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.159 It's so stupid, there's nothing going on with it. I 40 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.840 have this pictures of Richard Ceely up right now. 41 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.520 Okay, well, we'll tell people right now, let's get it, 42 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.439 let's get into it. We want to deal with the 43 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:13.960 World Cup. 44 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.240 This is the glimpse. I think I got into your 45 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.400 home life too. So you say something and Quinn just. 46 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.520 You take a look at rich Can we take the 47 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.919 this is Richard see Richard Ceely. Okay, you saw that. 48 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.719 We just saw the shot of him, right, yeah, yeah, 49 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.039 there you go. All right. 50 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.400 So this is another thing I thought this Okay, picture 51 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.159 I have of him up in it right now. Okay, No, 52 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.280 that's not him. That's the guy from Goon. It's so stupid. 53 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.439 They don't look anything alike. 54 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.199 No, it's not stupid. By the way, show some respect 55 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.400 for your father, Sean William Scott from Goon American Pie fame, 56 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.520 that he looks like Richard. Take a look at another 57 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.400 shot of Richard Ceely here, Okay, if you don't mind. 58 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.080 Oh my gosh, they're dead, they're just are they cousins. No, 59 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.120 they've got that menacing look. 60 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.360 No, they're just bald. That's it. 61 00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:59.400 Sammy beard. 62 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.080 Oh it's hold on, that's not semi beard. That's a 63 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.280 full on beard he's got there. But also, whatever the. 64 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.439 Case may be, this facial structure is very very much 65 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:07.800 the same. 66 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.159 This is like a side profile, so it doesn't even 67 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:11.080 really tell. 68 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.039 That's the first thing that I thought of. 69 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.960 That's the first thing. The Canucks made him move, you 70 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.639 know what, I think he looks like Scott. 71 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.479 Yes, I did. From goone. 72 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.039 Absolutely, you're on an island. 73 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.759 I am going to get so much support in the 74 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000 bayside in bog look at that. Oh my gosh, is 75 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.280 it the same person? You know I'm right? 76 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.520 You know I'm right, not at all. 77 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.039 And Richard, by the way, a new Canucks Assistant GM 78 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.560 at Abbotsford Canucks GM. 79 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.599 Is from BC, so he probably watches this show well, 80 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.240 or at least he did. 81 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.280 Yeah until about thirty seconds ago. 82 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.159 From shal Williams. Scott's in that new Tim Allen show 83 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.240 right now, who I know you hate it's called I don't. 84 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.639 Hear Tim Allen. I just don't find him funny Home improvement. 85 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.520 I never watch really, I want fifteen minutes maybe one 86 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:03.599 day and I went, it's not for me. 87 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.800 I love that show really Yeah, yeah, Tim Taylor, Yeah, yeah, 88 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.840 him and Al and the whole crew there. 89 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.399 Good show and of course the funny laugh yeah with 90 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.319 the grunt, the grunt. Yeah. Anyway, more on. 91 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.839 You even got a single submission about this show? 92 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.160 I think I think Richard Sealey not the only person 93 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.199 turning away from this program. At this point. 94 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.839 Mike in Langford says he looks like andre. 95 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.279 Agasy okay, yeah, a bit. And you know who else 96 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.279 looks like andre Agacy? Shot William Scott. You know the 97 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.720 thing is with andre Agassy, no one hair wise went 98 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.920 from one extreme to another. That's him, the long flowing 99 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.240 blondish hair to zero. 100 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.959 Yeah, but you got ahead of it he did. 101 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:55.360 Okay, yeah, yeah. 102 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.279 Yeah, it's like a massive dance sports. 103 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.319 I is so moving on. Let's move on. Bald people 104 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.879 through time now, Don Taylor okay? World Cup Okay. So 105 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.959 we have spent a lot of time on the show, 106 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.639 mostly Rick and I and you chiming in as well 107 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.519 about the lack of buzz regarding the World Cup in 108 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.519 Vancouver and a lot of people pissed off at FIFA 109 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.000 coming in and in the opinion of a lot of 110 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.800 people taking over the town, booting the BC Sports Hall 111 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.480 of Fame out of BC place. Lord knows how much 112 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.680 they paid to cover the science word world ball to 113 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.839 make it look like a twenty twenty six FIFA World 114 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:44.800 Cup soccer ball. So tickets cost maybe number one the 115 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:50.240 negative publicity. So, as you know, after each show, Quinn 116 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.839 knows this as well. I will often take a walk 117 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.160 down town. Do you step my steps in Okay, I'm older. 118 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.040 I need that sort of thing. My knees a shot, 119 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.279 can't go for a job anymore, that sort of thing. 120 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.319 So yesterday I go this, this will come to a 121 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.839 conclusion this story. I go from my walk, I go 122 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.040 downtown Granville Mall, which you know sometimes it looks a 123 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:18.680 little sketchy, let's be honest. Absolute Yes, it was tremendous yesterday. 124 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.319 They've done a wonderful job which car freening things up, 125 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:29.360 car free. They've cleaned it up, set up, set up 126 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.920 various things to do throughout the mall. You things, but 127 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.079 you know, nets and balls and they. 128 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.399 Call them activation. There you go activation, Yes, okay the buzz. 129 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.759 Twenty twenty six word. The bars were packed. The Mexico 130 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:49.040 game was going on Mexico South Africa, which Mexico won two. 131 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.120 You know, it was absolutely packed and it was vibrant. 132 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.920 So I'll take a lot of a lot of the 133 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.160 negative things that I said. How Rick feels he's not 134 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.839 here today because he has ventured downtown in forty years, 135 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.600 I don't think, because we're not quite downtown, but we're close. 136 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.680 I take it. It had a real good feel and 137 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.360 Canada hasn't played yet yeah, that happens. 138 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.680 Well, the place hasn't had a game yet, you know. 139 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.319 Yeah that happens Tomorrold. Yeah, with Turkey and Australia. 140 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.720 But also sorry, it's very hard to be down here 141 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.720 right now and find a spot of the city that 142 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.160 you don't know the World Cup's going on. Yeah, signage whatever. 143 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.399 It is. Like you're talking about Granville and there are 144 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.959 all these like photo ops and all these things that 145 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.319 they've built to really make you you have to know 146 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.160 that the World Cup is taking place in this city, 147 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.720 in this country, but in this city more importantly as 148 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.000 a host city, and that is away from the stadium 149 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.639 as you get close to the stadium like we are here. 150 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.439 We've talked about what they've built out around here between 151 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.759 Science World, like that walk that they're encouraging everyone to 152 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.279 do from Science World to the facility and the things 153 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.920 they've built there. Yeah, for security, it's it's, like I said, 154 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.199 it's pretty impressive. 155 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.480 And I know for a lot of people, the first 156 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.759 thing that will go through their minds is and I'm 157 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.720 like this, how much will it cost? How much does 158 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.959 it cost? So there's that, but it is impressive and 159 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.959 you definitely know something who's going on. You said this 160 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.040 before the show. The person who came up with the 161 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.839 idea and again the cost, I can't imagine what it 162 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.639 would cost and the man hours involved in getting it prepared. 163 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.879 The person who came up with the idea of dressing 164 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.679 up the science world like a twenty twenty six soccer ball. 165 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.600 That work. Oh that's getting attention all over the world, 166 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.440 in large part because first of all, it's impressive, but 167 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.120 secondly you can take a picture of the soccer ball 168 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.639 with the stadium in the background, in the mountains and 169 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.200 the water and everything. Whoever thought of it did a 170 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.879 pretty good job. Again, I know there are other things 171 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.200 to spend taxpayer money on money on period, but it 172 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.080 is impressive when you go. I don't know if people 173 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.399 in the burbs who stay in the burbs field we 174 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.240 both live live there, you don't see anything but downtown Vancouver. Again, 175 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.720 that walk yesterday, it's pretty impressive. It's pretty there's, you know, 176 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.840 something special, And I think we we we're so hockey 177 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.440 centric here. We don't give the great sport of soccer 178 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.759 enough attention. I'm guilty of that as much as as 179 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.080 much as anybody. And proof of that is I mean 180 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.000 yesterday at the Peeney Amphitheater with a fan fest. Is 181 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.240 is going on? These are the Mexican fans watching the 182 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.240 Mexican game again they won two nil over South Africa. 183 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.039 It looked so vibrant, is so alive and and. 184 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.799 Packed massive lines to get in as as the days 185 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.000 started there and it looked like the crowd had died 186 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.039 down a bit a bit for the second game of 187 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.919 the day involving Korea and uh Chechia. But the Mexico 188 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.320 game was very very well attended. And again I can 189 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.240 only imagine what's gonna happen like tomorrow first weekend of 190 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.679 that fan fest, because that's the other thing I mean, Donny, 191 00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.320 that's the scene during a day a Mexican The game 192 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.279 is noon our time it started, and yet that was 193 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.519 the scene there, and that is I think going to 194 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.279 be with the majority. I'm curious for people like, if 195 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.039 you're going to partake in the World Cup, how are 196 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.759 you going to do it? Do you have tickets to 197 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.360 a game or are you going to be more likely 198 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.919 to go to that Well, go to one of the 199 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.440 local because a lot of the municipalities are doing. 200 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.840 And I said, the subury versions as well yeah right that. Yeah, 201 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.720 it's back Anapoly and Pormodi. As a matter of fact, 202 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.919 there we go again. Something going on. Uh but yeah, 203 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.799 Graandville mall. If you're looking for some place to go, 204 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.919 you say what you want about it. Right now, it 205 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.399 looks really good and I'll use the word vibrant again. 206 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.240 Same with the amphitheater on the on the Peene grounds. 207 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.879 We should mention two South Korea winning that game. They 208 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.399 had to come back to do it late, beating check 209 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.960 Yat two to one. Wang Inmbom former White Cats one 210 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.480 goal and one assist. He was fabulous game. Not playing 211 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.440 in the in the Netherlands, I believe, but he was 212 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.720 fabulous in that game. So to day Canada Place, yep, 213 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:08.919 Canada taking on Bosnia and Herzecovina in Toronto and talk 214 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.639 about vibrant and alive. Look at this is the march 215 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:17.799 to the match in Toronto. This is this is something 216 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.600 else like that. Yeah, they're going to what is now 217 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.039 called Toronto Stadium. Bemo. Feel for people who aren't aware 218 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.159 of all wants. 219 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.399 To be all of the stadiums. That's why this is 220 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.399 actually the one time it works out that BC Place 221 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.519 doesn't have a sponsor name because it can just still 222 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.840 be called BC Place because there's no there's no reason 223 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.399 to change it. But yeah, the voyagers, the supporters group 224 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.200 and other fans marching to the match, they're starting to 225 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.639 settle in now at BEMO Stadium or at Toronto Stadium. Sorry, 226 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.919 and it'll be interesting because there's a lot of people 227 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.039 critical of that set up in Toronto with the rickiness 228 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.759 of the scaffolding seats that they've because they've increased the 229 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.080 capacity right, because the capacity is quite small there. But 230 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.639 we know what what will be the feedback from people 231 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.200 that attend. 232 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:06.000 Some people are calling it the worst venue in World 233 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.600 Cup history on t S and yesterday a Sports that 234 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.720 want one one of the two, and we've got something 235 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.879 to say about sports that later on in the show. 236 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:19.399 It's not all positive. It looked pretty good the stadium. 237 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.360 Like again, I'm not you know, seeing you know how 238 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.919 structurally sound it is, but it looked pretty good. It 239 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.440 looked pretty good. Again, if it's anywhere near what Empire 240 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.000 Field looked like or felt like, that's not which was 241 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.519 the temporary facility. This isn't a temporary facility. They're just 242 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.279 adding to an existing facility. A permanent structure. That's pretty 243 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.320 good if it if it looks and feels that way. 244 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.000 I still I still miss that that Empire field was 245 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.240 a success. I thought, what brought. 246 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.759 You this week? I think you brought up before the show. 247 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.120 Whoever the company was behind building that structure. They should 248 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.360 be getting calls from everybody that wants to build that sit. 249 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.320 They not built the one at L E A, the 250 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:00.679 L E C. 251 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.919 Yeah community Park. Yeah, I think they did, because I 252 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.519 mean that, I mean that thing Empire. It didn't feel 253 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.399 temporary at all, like it felt like it was it 254 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:11.799 should have. 255 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.080 I felt like I was a kid again, exactly exactly, 256 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.440 little Donnie venturing from north Burnaby to East Van to 257 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.320 watch Alliance.

He's well thought of, 363 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.960 highly regarded, you know, known as a hard working guy, respectful, sharp. 364 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.519 So you know, I think this more than anything, Donnie, 365 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:13.720 it hits at some of what I was getting at 366 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.079 earlier in this week, which was that the Canucks needed 367 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.400 an AGM in place, and they needed an AGM in 368 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.440 place quick, and Ryan Johnson needed to the very least 369 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.240 replace himself, right like, at the very least he needed 370 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.799 someone to take on what his old portfolio was so 371 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.160 that he could focus on all the many things that 372 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.319 he's going to have to take care of with the draft, 373 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.720 with free agency, with contract extensions with UFAs, with RFAs 374 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.960 with you know, the difficult business of turning a listing, 375 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:46.200 sinking franchise around and so I'm glad that they were 376 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.480 able to get an AGM hired this week. I think 377 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.880 that's big for Ryan Johnson. I think that's big for 378 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.720 the organization. You know, Sealy is not a guy who's 379 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.799 got a lot of NHL front office experience, effect that 380 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:58.839 he's got none of it, right, he didn't have a 381 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:03.000 NHL level with the Kings. But you know, when you 382 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.079 look over his resume, right, head coach and GM in 383 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:13.400 the ECHL, an eight year tenure as the general manager 384 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.960 of an Ontario Rain team that you know has had 385 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.480 a lot of talent come through it during this King's 386 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.240 rebuild and has been very development focused during this King's 387 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.799 rebuild and ultimately sort of falling short of really landing 388 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.039 the plane. But I don't know that we're going to 389 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.759 blame that on the Ontario Range general manager. There's been 390 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.000 a lot of you know, your Mikey Anderson tier guys, 391 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.200 even your Adrian Kempes that have spent time in that 392 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:39.160 Ontario system. Obviously, Marco Sturm, the Boston Bruins head coach, 393 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.759 was the head coach there, so that there's certainly been 394 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.240 an environment where people have gone on to have success. 395 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.640 Sean Walker would be another name there currently playing in 396 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.039 the Stanley Cup finals, So you know, I like to 397 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.759 see that, and yeah, I think more than anything, Ryan 398 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.119 Johnson has an executor in place to help him, which 399 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.119 is desperately needed, and now he can focus on the 400 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.799 big picture stuff this organization has to take care of, 401 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.000
