Speaker 1: That's how win it has done.

Speaker 4: We can't have anyone freak out out there. Okay, he's
got a k bark and.
Speaker 8: Polser got too far. I'm by winning.
Speaker 3: I went here and I win there.
Speaker 7: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win
a championship?
Speaker 1: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do. What's that? When the whole thing.
Speaker 8: All right? I'm going to start with a weekend loser. Actually,
oh okay, we're not hot here.
Speaker 4: Hey, segments called weekend one.
Speaker 2: I know it.
Speaker 7: And it's going to be anybody that gets invited to
the NFL scouting Combine and doesn't work out. Now, there's
some injury stuff there, and if you can't go, you
can't go.
Speaker 8: I get that. Understand that.
Speaker 7: There's quarterbacks that aren't going to throw. I even can
actually understand that one a bit. If you're a top quarterback.
You don't know these receivers. Everybody runs a route a
little bit different. You don't know these guys. You don't
feel like you could put, you know, your best foot forward. Okay,
I can even get behind that a little bit. But
if you get invited to the scouting combine and you
tell tell me, nah, I'm waiting to my pro day,
that pro day that you handwave into, not all thirty
two teams are going to be at that pro day.
I don't care who you are, I don't care what
school you go to. Right you might have twenty teams,
you might have twenty five. You're not gonna have all
thirty two. And if for some unknown reason you have
all thirty two, it might be a regional scout counting
as one of those all thirty two, not the GM,
not the head coach.
Speaker 8: You have an opportunity to be out in front.
Speaker 7: Of everybody, every person that matters really in the National
Football League, and you decide not to work out. Is
it because you don't think it's gonna be good? Is
it because you're scared to compete against your peers again?
Injuries are one thing. If you don't feel one hundred
percent I understand that, but some guys are just not
doing it because they want to save it for their
pro day, which they feel like they're gonna have better
numbers in their environment. It's not what this job's about.
The NFL is not easy. The NFL's hard. It's real hard,
and it's always about competing. You compete every single day
in the National Football League. And if you don't right,
if you don't play well on Monday, when you walk
into meetings, your position group's going to be working out
on the practice field free agents that they're trying to
sign to take your spot.
Speaker 8: That's what it is.
Speaker 7: It's like that every single week you have a chance
to go out there and show your body of work,
like I'm just here for the interviews. The NFL should
actually look into that. And if you're just there to
do the interviews, like the Senior Bowl is done, then
you can't come here. And again that might sound harsh.
And if you're injured again, you got a injury that
people know about and it's been like on the wall,
we see it, we can confirm it, okay, But when
you just come there and you do injuries or no injury,
but you just want to interview. Okay, what does that do?
It keeps a guy like Kylon Black from Indiana, the
running back who just won a national championship, who was
a spark in the national championship game.
Speaker 8: I know, I was there on sidelines. He changed that game.
Speaker 7: He went to the Senior Bowl a week after playing
a sixteen game season for the national championship and compete
at his ass off. And you told him he's not
good enough to go to Combine. But we got another
fourth or fifth round running back who sits there in
front of me and says, now, I'm not gonna do
anything today. I'm gonna wait for the pro day, your
fourth round pick maybe, and you're gonna wait till your
pro day. That guy would have walked to Indianapolis to
be in your shoes. I don't understand ring, and he's
got a ring. I don't understand why you go there
and don't compete. It makes no sense. Even if you
don't do the forties and the cones and all that.
I would because again, all thirty two teams are there
to watch you do it, but you do the football drills.
Speaker 8: I can even get behind that.
Speaker 7: Okay, he didn't want to compete there, but he's competing
out there on the field with.
Speaker 8: The football drills.
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, when you just go and you're like, nah,
I'm good, what are you doing? You'll never have an
opportunity to be in front of those people that you're
in front of ever again in your entire life, your
entire life. It will never happen in your pro day,
will not have those people there. And you know what's
happened to me, It probably happened to Matt. People that
were at the combine that didn't draft you remember you
at the combine. They remember your interview, They remember a
drill you did. And when you're a free agent, you
don't think NFL teams go all the way back to that.
You're foolish if you don't think so, they'll go all
the way back. Hey, we remember we interviewed you. Hey,
we remember that l drill that you ran. We remember
that workout you having filled in Indian and that was
one of the reasons we brought you in here. If
you're scared, go to church, if you're scared by a dog.
But if you're scared, don't get invited to the NFL
Combine because you're taking a spot from somebody that would
give up everything they own to be there and you're
just there to hang out and that should not be allowed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should look into that stuff. You should have
to like check what you're going to participate in beforehand.
Yeah you talk about the kid from Indiana. Yeah, take
a spot like that and let me let me just
piggyback on top of what you're saying from a quarterback perspective,
Like I saw a lot of quarterbacks post on social
media this past week in a ballot the NFL combine throw,
and I think it's all Chase Daniel's talking about how
it's the dumbest thing and it's not important because you're
throwing to new receivers and different angles and blah blah blah.
I can I can see the point of that. But
also the point of a really quality quarterback with good
arm talent is to be able to judge angles and
speed really fast. How many times do you go and
you get picked up on a new team, you got
a hold new set of receivers. How many times are
there fifty receivers working out on a Monday and one
of them get signed the next day and you got
a new receiver. The next thing. It's like, you have
to be able to And I learned that from a
couple of different coaches. They're like, I don't care who
your receiver is, Like, yeah, that's the first time you've
ever thrown to them. Why did you miss him? You
got to be able to judge angles and you got
to be able to judge speed, put those together in
a split second and make an accurate throw. And it's
a I don't care, go go throw to anybody. And
he said, you should be able to throw to an
eighty year old man and be accurate every single time.
Judge's angles, judge of speed. And I think it's a
great way to go see quarterbacks. Arm talent, arm talent.
Of course, you gotta be talented with the arm, but
you've got to be able to decipher those really quick
decisions really fast, and you got to communicate from your
brain to your hand. And the quarterbacks that choose not
to do it, I get it. Randa, dude, you're fine,
give me one one. You're good, You're good. But the
other guys go out there and throw what a Chase
Daniels say. He said, it is kind of a dumb
thing to like the throwing thing is dumb, I think
somebody else, but I saw a lot of a lot
of people saying that it's some stupid work up. No,
it's not quarterbacks judge and angles of speed making throws.
Speaker 7: Yeah cool, I mean every quarterback is going to spin
it a little bit different when you're catching it too. Yeah,
like and I get it, like some of the tiy
around like from they catch a five.
Speaker 1: Step like five step speed out to the out. Uh,
you're not gonna be perfect on that because people are
gonna come out of their breaks and it's like a
timing raut. Your thrown it before they break. But the
other stuff. Get out of here with that, all right,
we can win her LSU gymnastics team. Let's go.
Speaker 8: All right, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's gymnastics. They took to the gym Friday night, number
two LSU facing number three Crimson Tide, and what they do.
Beat the absolute breaks off those girls. They beat them
one ninety seven point nine seven five one ninety seven
point six. That's what we call I think a blowout.
Caitlyn Chio leader another perfect ten. She won the all around.
Guess what she won? Vault, she won, beam, she won floor.
I'm sure, she's going to the tape on the uneven bars,
she's probably going to the tape. But she won everything else,
my god, And they do it and then guess what,
not like any other weekend, they turn around, they got
something else on Sunday. Yep, they got the fourth Annual
Podium Challenge where they came on top. Alabama, North Carolina,
Arizona dominated. Guess what, kaylen ch another perfect ten. That's
three meets in a row. One, that's seven total perfect tens.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 1: I think tying the LSU record for perfect tensoo oh yeah,
I forgot to mention that Friday night in front of
a crowd of thirteen ninety two LSU screaming fans. LSU
gymnastics continues to dominate, getting towards the end of the season,
getting towards postseason. We're shaping up, kayln Chield, let's go.
Speaker 3: Like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1: Beat Beate Alabama twice in one weekend? You kidding me? Boom?
Speaker 8: How many people can say that?
Speaker 1: Called it ten.
Speaker 4: Tayo weekend winner?
Speaker 8: Fun? I mean they're dominated, yeah, yeh good weekend.
Speaker 4: Winning weekend winner.
Speaker 9: Kate Anderson, Uh, Kate Anderson not only made his spring
training debut on Saturday against the Potters.
Speaker 4: That was his professional debut.
Speaker 9: By the way, too, he did not he did not
pitch in minor league baseball after they took him in
last summer's draft.
Speaker 4: Give him some rest bringing along. That was his professional debut.
Speaker 9: First inning, first inning, goes out there, punches out the
side and by the way, if you're curious, that included
Xander Bogarts, that included on Duhar and sheets got them
all in, the three professional hitters. She came back out
in the second inning, got into a little trouble. We'll
give up a single on a double. Was pulled after
that little lever let the inherited runners in. So the
line looks a little messy. But your first professional inning,
you go out there and strike out the side, and
do it against some veterans and he'll be long for
Kate and it's nice.
Speaker 7: He's going to continue to figure it out. And that's
three like pros. It wasn't like three guys wearing number
sixty eight, sixty two, and sixty seven. That's three guys.
I mean, this guy's making over one hundred million dollars
on their contract.
Speaker 8: So well done.
Speaker 2: Weekend winning for me, I want to go to women's
college basketball. Guys, the Yukon Huskies are back. People kind
of just forget about them because they were so good
for so long. Gino Arim is still there. They won
their thirty one Uh they've made it thirty one and
oh for the regular season that they wrapped up this weekend.
This guy here like they're on their forty seventh consecutive victory.
It's the fifth longest streak in Division one history, five
of the top six streaks. Yeah, that belongs to geno
arium and the Yukon women's basketball program. They've outscored their
opponents by an average of thirty seven point eight points
per game, third highest in Division one history, trailing two
previous Yukon teams, both coached by Gino Ariama. Like, people
kind of just forget about the guy because Staley's won
Natties lately. Obviously killed Maulkey. You got the Caitlin Clark
fiasco that was the media storm a few years ago.
But Gino Ariama, like that team looking as good as
they ever have, thirty one to er.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're really good, really good.
Speaker 7: There's there's some teams that could in a tournament situation.
You know, have a good game and beat them. I
don't think they're unbeatable, but they are by far the
best team in the country. But you know, they got
a face coach monkey at some point. You know I'm saying,
not saying yeah, nothing kind of like and we didn't
get and we didn't confuse her on O TV this week,
so she was able to go out there and coach yesterday.
Speaker 8: Game against Texas. They lost because Flynn, you.
Speaker 1: Didn't even get you didn't get a good question, but
you got her. I'm glad you asked that question.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a big that kind of counts does
a good question. Thanks for bringing that up. I wanted
to talk about it, like, yeah, that's right on par
didn't get Yeah, Tally have good questions here smart. We
feel really good about ourselves when we get one. Uh
and a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if
you big news around Louisiana. I asked her a question
and she just said, I don't really know what you're saying.
So we took away two good questions for that us.
Speaker 4: You're subtracting them as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, situation attracted two good questions for I don't
really know what you're asking. But she did answer, but
it's kind of on her. She answered it the way
Matt was asking it.
Speaker 7: Right, okay, So like I don't know if that's she
ended up founding herself to the question that was asked
and giving it the answer that we were looking for.
Speaker 4: Right, Yes, Okay, sometimes you just got to talk Shelf
through that.
Speaker 8: That's right, you talk about man.
Speaker 7: Shout out to LSU women's basketball team. They go on
the road win seventy two to sixty three against Mississippi State.
It was yesterday, so the Tigers man, ever since the
South Carolina game, right, you lose a very tough game
at home. Remember they go on the road against Soul
Miss A gritty victory there. Down the entire game, they
storm back, almost doesn't make a field goal in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 8: Great defense there.
Speaker 7: You blow out Missouri, you blow out Tennessee, You get
a good road win last night against Mississippi State, and
now get to the SEC tournament.
Speaker 8: So shout to coach Maulkey and the squad.
Speaker 7: Looking forward to having her as we do every single
week here coming up in a couple of days.
Speaker 8: Any more, winners are losers.
Speaker 1: A loser for me.
Speaker 2: Charles Bettiaco, give it up, Bud, like the dream is over.
He applied for another waiver to play at the NCAA.
He got denied on Friday evening. What a shocker that is.
I mean they were three and two in games that
he had played over that five game stretch, He's averaging
ten points a game. Like, look, man, I understand that
you're like, Hey, maybe my NBA career didn't work out.
I got a way to go make money. I'm all
for that, But you're the one that decided to go
to the NBA. Actions have consequences in everything you do
in life. You made the decision to leave school early,
you went to the NBA, it didn't work out. Sorry,
wish you the best, but it's time to move on.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yah.
Speaker 7: Second though, yeah, man, just come on, go live life,
Go go get a LinkedIn page, Andy.
Speaker 4: Fredandaman does already has one. He's about to go one one.
Speaker 8: It's right just.
Speaker 1: To win dot com My guy, I got I got
one last loser, all right. This is a loser is
for all the people out there, myself included, that are
trying to be on the right side of history. As
an l s u traditionalist. For the people that hate
the backwards L you're a loser. This weekend there was
a big day for the backwards L crew. I know
the exact picture you're talking about.
Speaker 8: Pull it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gets a bad, bad weekend for the people
that hate the backwards out and think it's really dumb
at you. Lane Kiffin was at the gymnastics meet Friday,
So was Livy done, So was Lea again. He took
a picture together. Well, Taylor's about to pull it up,
Leo again. Levy Dune with a strong, strong, strong backwards
and it looks like then again had her national championship
that hand as well. It was a proud backwards ll
And look, it's going to be a tough battle, like
we knew, like when we when we put on the
armor to fight against the backwards L we knew it
was going to be tough.
Speaker 5: Here it is.
Speaker 1: We knew it was going to be a tough battle.
We knew it was an uphill battle. Now it just
got a little tougher. We got a band again, three
national champions a band together. We have to come together.
And look even has a right handed backwards though well
Lane Lane, Lane's el is just backwards, a backward. He
likes the backward el so much he decided to do
with his right hand. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 8: That's all right.
Speaker 7: Look, we got three national champions, right they did the
backwards l lane wins one here, flip that with a
ring on the other.
Speaker 1: So it was a bad weekend for in this camp.
I think it can still be overcome, but it's going
to take commitment. It's going to take discipline, a lot
of mental toughness. We got to get to these people
and say, hey, it's not cool. Respect, respect the picture.
Speaker 7: It's a big loss for you, but a big loss.
All right, we'll take a break when we come back.

Devin Snow. What's up, Dev? How are we doing? How
we living?
Speaker 6: You always doing?
Speaker 7: Fantastic? Glad to have you on as always. Did you
watch any of the NFL scouting combine did you walk
away with a guy that you're like? I hope to
see this guy as a New Orleans Saint when we
get done at the end of April and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's a few. First of all, the combine.
I love it. I'm obsessed. I don't know how people
feel about the combine these days, but you know, it's
always been something that like I don't miss it, right,
It's whether I'm locked in sitting down watching it or
like I'm around the house doing stuff. It's just like
that perfect thing. It's probably you know, the best way
I could describe is the combine is probably the closest
thing football has two golf, if that makes sense. It's
just really a relaxing background. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, Like
just like the whistles, the cleet, hitting and ground Rich Eisen,
you know guy rich Eisen during the combine. Dude, it
just matches up very perfectly. You can miss an hour
of the combine, no problem. It's still on. You know,
it's always on.
Speaker 7: So as somebody that was working twelve hour days there,
I can tell you it is always on. There was
something going on from seven in the morning and the
seven and night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, I mean, and it's just like the true
test of the American athlete, right, the fastest forty the
shuttle runs, the bench press, high jump, long jump. You
introduced to all these things when you're a kid, if
you do anything athletic, you know, you introduce these things
in PE class. You know what I'm saying. There's gonna
be one PE class with where they test you on
these things. So I don't know, it's just super cool man.
And yeah, it's like guys that you just forget about, right, Like,
I'll throw a name out for you. Wouldn't be mad
if the Saints drafted Hide and Reich from Navy. Oh yeah, bro, Like,
if there's one takeaway you could take from college shefferm
last year, he can turn an uber drip into a
form of a receiver. Right, well, this is why not
take a shot on a guy like Hide and right
when he is he projected to go to the late
six seven, I don't know.
Speaker 8: Yeah that's Navy running back. By the way, if any
of our listeners don't know that.
Speaker 6: Name, yeah so, and I don't know if they're gonna
play him my running back.
Speaker 8: He can play some slot too, yeah, to your point,
dev Yeah.
Speaker 6: So like maybe this is like the I don't want
to say Taysom Hill, but you know what I mean,
yeah something.
Speaker 8: No, Taysom Hill is Haines King in this draft?
Speaker 6: Okay that we got So that's another guy draft him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know it's one of your favorites.
Speaker 6: Yeah. How does he not do something in the NFL?
Something something? It may not be quarterback, just whatever it is.
You know, I have so many names, man, I liked
the kid out of Texas Tech, the linebacker or David
Bay Yeah, Jacob, Dude, I was making all the players
in the game late in the season. There's so many
dudes I like. I mean, I like style is out
of Vandy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Anthony Hill Junior is a guy I think that not
enough people talk about. I think he's got a high potential.
Speaker 7: Yeah, good football, like you dev we caught up with
him for like twenty minutes on Tuesday. I believe it
was very good football. Like he was kind of played
edge rusher. He's played stack Mike Becker as well, so
he gives you some versatility.
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, So I'm excited, man, I think the Saints
have a chance to really like get some sleep of
playmakers after watching the combine.
Speaker 1: You know, so you're you're talking about like watching it's great,
Like background fodder, just the combat you can lock in,
you can doze out. But like, it's amazing to me
the stories that can come out of it and the
public's reaction to different players and what they do, whether
it's good or bad. But you can work your whole
life and work your tail off for this, like one moment,
for this dream to become reality. Go to the NFL.
You can be a star in that same breath you consian,
Oh no, I'm sorry, no, okay, you can be the
best at your position, and you can be incredible and
be thought of as one of the best ever and
then something as simple as opening your mouth and talking
crumbles it all to the ground. And we kind of
see this with Makayle Lemon from usc Did you see
his interview. It's amazing that you could do all this
for your whole life and the something that's simple as
talking can knock your draft status down.
Speaker 6: I didn't see the limit one, So what happened?
Speaker 1: He just came off very strange. It was just a
weird situation at the court of public opinion. Isn't loving
it over there on the socials? A lot of opinions
about it, but it just he was called out in
it and with some of the NFL gems of scouts
are saying, what a disaster.
Speaker 6: So he came off strangers in like he watch his
anime and stuff, or he came off strange.
Speaker 7: Lying that's that's not strange anymore. With this draft class,
I think they all watch anime. If I picked up one, like.
Speaker 1: Looking down and talking a lot of known sayings, a
lot of the word.
Speaker 7: That you got back there if you're reading some of
the articles out there again, like you know, you got
to fact check some of the stuff, but not real
interested in being there or didn't seem interested.
Speaker 1: In being there.
Speaker 6: A because when the quarterbacks were playing, oh, when they
were going through that drugs you know, and he was
running rights, I was actually thinking about it. I was like,
he kind of looks like he's dedicated to running these
riots for these quarterbacks right now, you know. I'm just
like thinking about that. But yeah, that's odd. And the
other thing is like, all right, look at the like
the guy Cornell Tate, he runs a pretty mid forty, right,
but they it's like people know, they're like, okay, well
this ain't gonta keep nobody away from It's kind of
like Okay, who else ran a pretty slow fording Mike Thomas,
you know, like it's just you gotta look at it,
so definitely, but so many different athletes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the thing with Cardinal Tate that would
be my biggest question mark is and we talked about
this in our Number one dev He's never been the
number one receiver on his college team.
Speaker 8: He's always been the two.
Speaker 7: He's been behind Marvin Harrison junior, he's been behind Jeremiah Smith,
two incredible receivers right at the college level. But like,
that would be something I'd have to get answered, Like
I'd have to try to find a way to see
if he has the mentality to be a one. Now
with Chris Olave and Matt made a good point like
he wouldn't necessarily have to be the one, but if
I'm drafting a guy in top ten at receiver, you
kind of got to be one for me to justify
the pick, right because it's.
Speaker 6: The top ten ten. Yeah, Like with receivers that people
are drafting the top ten, are they not thinking, hey,
this is our number one guy, right, you know? So Yeah,
and that's what's weird because you've got three receivers where
or at least two Makai Lemon and Kate to where
you don't really now if they are one or two
or even I you know, I don't know. Man. The
way I look at it is any type of offensive help.
It's the quarterback from me, right, because Shuck is gonna
bring the best out of these players, right. So I'm
just kind of just believing in that. And it's like,
if they do decide to go receiver, I won't be mad, dude,
if they get a defensive dog that slips to them,
which I'm starting to feel like that may happen too,
like just a Sunny Styles, you know, would you pass
that up?
Speaker 8: I don't know, I personally would not. I think Sonny
Styles was my biggest winner of the entire combine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, So who's gonna slip? Who's gonna go after
Jeremiah Love too soon on? I don't want to say
like early, So I guess I guess we'll see. Man,
It's cool you can tell callim Moore is locked into
the combine.
Speaker 7: Now, that's another thing that Style I know that I
didn't even seem like walking around in the hall anything
like I felt like he was always in the stadium.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's just I don't know, he just seemed
he seemed locked in. I don't know. I saw a
few coaches, but Callim Moore just seemed like, man, this
is he lives for us. He just gave me that vibe.
Speaker 1: There's probably a small chance this happens, Devin, But like,
I'm just wondering, can we plan like a celebratory get
together where we just all have some beers and some
drinks if Mickey Limis trades back and acquires some more
assets in this draft, because you talk about like the
thing the positions of need, like the sex, positions that
everybody kind of wants, receiver, edge rusher. It's pretty deep class,
but there's really nobody that's out there justifying an eight pick.
But you could justify a lot of that in the twenties,
and you can, and certainly you can also you get
another first rounder in the twenties and potentially get another
second or third round or something where you can take
another one. So like it's against Mickey Lomis's history and
not what he wants to do, but I think a
celebration if that happens would be warranted.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think out of all the positions. It would
be because the receiver, you can get a receiver. So
there's so many receivers, right, So if they could get
a second or something like that, hell yeah, if they
could get a third, yeah yeah, if they get a third,
that would be tend I'd be cool with that because, yeah,
the draft is deep, man, the draft is deep.
Speaker 7: This draft might not have ten stars like Day one
instant stars at the top, but this is a very
deep draft. This is a draft where your team's foundation
is built. This is a draft where the second, third,
and fourth round is better than it has been in
the last couple of years.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 7: The first round might not be there, but your team's
not built just on first round picks. A bulk of
your team is built in the second, third, fourth round,
even the fifth round. Sometimes, who did you hit on
in those rounds? We've seen it in New Orleans and
we've seen it kind of all over a place there death.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And then another thing about the receivers too, is
like I'm looking at all these names and seeing where
they're going from. I saw a name like Eric Mcallis.
I believe he played at what TCU. Dude, I watched
this guy last year he had a game where he
had like two hundred and seventy yards received and you know,
like and he's protective to go late. So a guy
like Zachariah Branch, you know, you know, he's pretty good.
There's a lot of receivers, you know, hide and rich
whatever he put running back or see whatever. But there's
a bunch of different weapons you could apply it like
way past the first.
Speaker 8: No question about me. It's a good receiver class.
Speaker 7: I think it's got a lot of depth to Zachary
Branch is another guy that's very intriguing. Twenty round twenty
reps at his size of two twenty five that's also impressive.
How to impressive forty so receiver edge rusher. The good
news is for a lot of the position needs the
Saints need. That's where the draft is the deepest. That
before we let you go, we used to ask you
what you have planned on Mondays. Now that we've ended
the series, what's the next thing that we can look
out for?
Speaker 6: Well, I know today I get to edit the calling,
which is big, you know. So it goes from me
only putting out one clip, you know, I get I
do OTV and then next after I get off o
tod be used to go to do aub and all
day and then by the time I'm done with all that,
it's evening time, and I can't even like really edit
the show because a lot of it's I don't want
to say, it's all like in the moment of that day,
but you want.
Speaker 8: To write, you know that stuff is.
Speaker 6: So I'm happy to be able to edit the show today.
I really am happy to.
Speaker 8: Have time to do the thing that you need to
get done. That's okay too, That's good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, man. So anyway, that's what we've done do today
and then just take it day by day after that.

missed like what he said afterwards because I was like
thinking about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So y'all, y'all consider yourselves pretty good at math numbers. No,
I don't want to addition attraction.
Speaker 8: Yeah I can.
Speaker 1: I can be basic addition and attraction. So that's what
I want you to do. People here in the room,
and people listen it. I want you to again, I
didn't make this sense. I bring it here, O t
b aws. Pick a number, any number in the whole
wide world. Now you're gonna have to do a little
mental math. So pick something that's manageable for you. Okay,
pick a number. Don't tell anybody. I don't want anybody
to say anything. All right, So think of that number.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 1: I want you to double that. Okay, to double it? Yeah, yeah,
they're very good. No one's lost. Ye gonna get Yeah,
I'm still on board it. Now I want you to
add ten okay, okay to the double number to the
so keep track. Now, I want you to divide that
number in half. Okay, everybody good?
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to subtract the original number that
you thought of from that number. Yep.
Speaker 8: Is everybody there?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yep? Is your current number? Five current numbers?
Five number world? Yeah it is.

Speaker 2: I was looking for inspiration. I saw mister Mike Alstadt,
so I went with forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all. I ended up with five because I doubled
it to eighty and ninety forty five. Forty not a
