And I was like, yeah, ive ay Rod 66 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,520 and Coach Woods are down, then I'd love to. And 67 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,479 they both were down and so and they were pretty 68 00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:29,479 excited about it, so I was like, sure, I'll come help. 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,199 So I'm I'm kind of serving more like a consultant 70 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,360 role right now, is kind of how I would describe it, 71 00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:37,400 just so I have the freedom that if I do 72 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,000 get picked up, I can leave. Okay, that's kind of 73 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:41,520 They didn't want to like lock me in as an 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520 official staff member because then I'd have to go through 75 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,599 all that logistical time there of being hired and then 76 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:48,319 if I do get picked up by an NFL team, 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,360 having to figure that all out. So it was just 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,919 easier to make me kind of just like a volunteer 79 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,719 consultant right now, and then if I end up, if 80 00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:56,919 I don't get picked up by the end of this 81 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,159 year and I end up retiring, then we'll TRANSI in 82 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,520 next year more of a full time role. 83 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,039 Speaker 2: Hopefully. 84 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,199 Speaker 5: Well thanks for getting update. 85 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: Now we can officially know what's going on because see 86 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,159 with the team, I was like, but I gotta I 87 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,599 gotta go through the sid you never. 88 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, technically I am on the staff helping with 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,280 the on line. 90 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:14,599 Speaker 3: Yeah that's I know that. Hey, that's just that's the 91 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:16,360 right where you're at. You know, you kill it, you 92 00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,399 kill it there. What has it been like from the 93 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,160 coaching standpoint, I guess now hoping out then the player standpoint. 94 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,759 Speaker 4: It's interesting you look at the game differently, and I 95 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,199 think I always kind of viewed the game through a 96 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,319 coach's lens. I guess I didn't. I didn't realize in 97 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,000 the moment that that's what I was doing. But that's 98 00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:40,000 kind of just the the analytics kind of all that stuff. 99 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,399 That's just the way I think. And so that's kind 100 00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,480 of how I approach the game. I wanted to know, like, Okay, 101 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,800 I look at the call sheet. As a player, I 102 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,319 looked at all the formations we're doing our runs out of. Okay, 103 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,120 what are their top front stunts, pressures out of those formations. 104 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,759 That's kind of how I studied. And you do a 105 00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:59,639 lot of that as a coach and and so and 106 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,439 you know, I get a breakdown a lot of film, 107 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,759 right kind of as as the gas and the other 108 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,120 analysts and stuff. That's kind of your role. You break 109 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,519 down film for the position coaches, and so I get 110 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,480 to watch a lot of defense, and so I've learned 111 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,720 a lot too, and it's been it's been really fun, 112 00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,360 but to just kind of think of the game differently 113 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,079 where it's like, Okay, I'm not I'm not solely focused 114 00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:27,279 on how to execute my job as a player. Now 115 00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:32,839 it's okay, how can we put the offensive line specifically 116 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,920 in my case, but for the other coaches, how can 117 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,600 we put the offense in general in the best position 118 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:41,000 to succeed? And then once we do that, how do 119 00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:43,040 we then go and teach the concepts we want to 120 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:46,480 run as clearly as possible so the players are confident 121 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,759 when they go in and because I mean, you can 122 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,480 never know for sure what a defense is going to 123 00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:51,959 do to you, they got to be able to adjust 124 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,480 and do some things. And I think that's one of 125 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,560 the really strong skills that Coach Woods has is being 126 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,360 able to teach that way well. 127 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,199 Speaker 3: Coach would definitely been phenomenal. Has had to be Team 128 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360 six and zero. Talk to Bruce, talk to eight Rod. 129 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,959 They've thrown besides to the Arizona game, five different things 130 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:11,800 that you guys. You guys studied something different and they 131 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,399 went into those games besides the Arizona game something completely different. 132 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,040 Take us through how you were able to adjust to that, 133 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,000 because I have to think that's difficult. We're studying this 134 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,000 and you're gonna make a game adjustments right as a 135 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,079 part of it. But then they throw something different at you, 136 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,040 maybe on the third or fourth play, that you weren't 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,959 necessarily prepared for. 138 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, No, I think I think it makes it 139 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,879 a lot easier. When you teach, you don't teach plays, 140 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,240 you teach concepts. And that's that's how coach Woods teaches 141 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,360 is he teaches concepts because then it's just okay, how 142 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,639 does the con the overall concept apply to the defense 143 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,240 we're playing? Okay that week, and so we have our 144 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,360 base set of rules where it's like, look if it's 145 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:56,759 just base four to two defense or base three four defense, 146 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,319 these are our set rules, and everybody knows the set rules. 147 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:04,519 That's what you practice and train all off season, and 148 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,439 then you get into game week and it's like, okay, 149 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,560 here's what this defense does. So here's that set of 150 00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:12,439 rules that you guys know, here's the tweaks for this week, 151 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,480 and then okay, here's this other play, here's this set 152 00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,160 of rules that all the guys know, here's the tweaks 153 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,839 for that week, all right, And so when you teach 154 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,439 overall concepts like that, I think it makes it a 155 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,360 lot easier to adjust because it's not like you're learning 156 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,680 all new plays. The application of the play is just 157 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480 a little bit different. And so I think Coach Woods 158 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,720 does a really good job of that. And so that's 159 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,360 I think that's kind of what's made our life a 160 00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:38,639 little easier, being able to adjust week to week to 161 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,120 very different defenses. 162 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,079 Speaker 3: I appreciate you breaking it down and sit in the 163 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,279 life of the fans. The concept of it, you know, 164 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,600 takes me back to the mission of applying this concept 165 00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:48,920 of the application. I think people can relate to that 166 00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,439 as well, especially for the idiots like myself. You guys 167 00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:54,720 don't know that inside Joe Connor knows it. It's for 168 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,560 me and Connon to know. For you to find out 169 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,720 if you go check tape.

What now is that on the coaching side, 185 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,320 I know you've been able to look at Jason's. 186 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:41,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think as a player, my my second start 187 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,639 of my entire career at b YU was when we 188 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,360 beat Utah on twenty twenty one, Jared Hall. That was 189 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,320 my first experience with fans in Lavell Edwards Stadium, and 190 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,759 so it was kind of all these things I'd never 191 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:58,679 experienced before, all at once, and it was amazing. Especially 192 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,440 I remember that very last drive knowing we needed one 193 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,759 first down and we'd be able to take a knee 194 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,960 and end this thing. And they knew we were going 195 00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:07,759 to run the ball three times. We knew we were 196 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:10,080 going to run the ball three times. They threw the 197 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720 whole defense at us, and we were still able to 198 00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:15,080 get that first down. And I remember that feeling and 199 00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:18,840 just being so elated with my teammates and together as 200 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:21,120 an offensive line, knowing that on those three plays when 201 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,039 they relied on us, we got it done. That's a 202 00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:27,480 very vivid memory. And then last year. Last year it 203 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:29,200 was a little bit harder for me. That was I 204 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,440 was very close to being back and I had tried 205 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,879 very hard to get cleared for that week and I 206 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,320 was just not quite close enough. They I was literally 207 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,039 forty eight hours off because the doctor. The doctor cleared 208 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,480 me to play on Monday, and so I did everything 209 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,919 I possibly could. I called the doctor. I was like, hey, like, 210 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080 can I shoot this up or something? And can we play? 211 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,879 Like can I play? And all this stuff, and they 212 00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,960 were like no, like you can't do it. And they 213 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,120 had my best interest heart, but I didn't see it 214 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,559 that way in the moment, right and the motions of fine, 215 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,519 And so that was hard to watch that one from 216 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:11,720 the sidelines, But also still just as exhilarating, right, And 217 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:17,279 so I'm imagining now in this position that it's probably 218 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,720 gonna feel similar to that. You know that I'm going 219 00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:22,000 to be on the sidelines, and at least now I 220 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,039 don't have the heartache of knowing that I had an 221 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:27,840 option of playing. Right now, I know the sideline is 222 00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,399 the only place I'll be, so that puts my mind 223 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:31,799 to ease a little bit there. But no, it's been 224 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,440 really fun. I think it's going to be fun to 225 00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:37,440 because basically what I'm doing from the sideline during games 226 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,279 is I'm trying to read and pick defenses apart and 227 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,879 figuring out, Okay, we line up in this formation, what 228 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,200 are they doing blah blah blah, how are they attacking us? 229 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,360 And it's been pretty fun like that. The chess match 230 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,759 has always been a part of the game that I 231 00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,120 loved as a player, and now that's all I get 232 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,399 to do as a coach is play the chess match, right, 233 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,399 and it's it's been fun, and so I'm looking forward 234 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,399 to doing that on Saturday. 235 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,759 Speaker 3: Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that that's going 236 00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:01,720 to and didn't know that you know, and that's why 237 00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:03,759 I love being able to interview you guys, they didn't 238 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:05,240 know you were four d eight hours off.

I get to see the true Kilanie 277 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,080 and then I get to see head football coach Kilani 278 00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:35,039 come out on occasion when we're not doing what we're 279 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,159 supposed to be doing right and and so it's fun 280 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,679 because what you what you experience, the kindness, knowing everybody's name. 281 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,519 He just loves people and that's his default, Like that's him, 282 00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:49,039 that's his character at its core. And then we, uh, 283 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,279 we pull him out of that sometimes if he gets 284 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:53,279 angry enough and you know, you get the screaming matches 285 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,600 getting cussed out or something like that. Not many people 286 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,480 get to see that side of Kilane. But obviously Klanie 287 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,840 and I have grown very close over the years, and 288 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,480 and you know, I was I was his captain for 289 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,440 three of the five years that I was there, and 290 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,159 so we got to work closely together on a lot 291 00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,080 of things, a lot of handling problems together and things 292 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,399 like that. So I got to see him in moments 293 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,279 of crisis and things like that and how he handled it. 294 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,279 And man, I just I hope to be half the 295 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:26,200 man that he is one day. To be able to 296 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600 be mentored by him has been one of the great 297 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,320 privileges of my life and also one of the things 298 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,919 I'll cherish the most about my time at BYUS, my 299 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,919 association with him, and now to have him invite me 300 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,480 back to stay around that meant a lot to me. 301 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,960 And we're doing we're working on some nonprofit things together 302 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,399 and stuff to help the BYU Pathway program, something we're 303 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,279 both passionate about, and and things like that, and so 304 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,279 now we're getting to work together on things outside of football, and. 305 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,759 Speaker 2: It's just been so much fun. 306 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 4: What a phenomenal leader, and it's you know, I just 307 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,639 feel blessed that I still get to be around him 308 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,720 and still be led by. 309 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: Him, felt the spirit all while you said it, I'm 310 00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:09,440 never going to shy away from that or to wear 311 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,240 it on my sleeve. That was very touch and especially 312 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,080 as you mentioned the BAU pathways. How can I guess 313 00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:15,759 fans and how can we stay up to date about 314 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:16,120 those things? 315 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's two main things that we're working on. 316 00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:24,720 One is actually a placement business that myself and Isaiah 317 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:29,679 Kafusi are a part of, and I know Colone loves it. 318 00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:31,759 He just can't work on a business. He's a full 319 00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,320 time head coach, right, And so Isaiah and I have 320 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,799 been kind of working on it where we're basically helping 321 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,720 helping companies outsource to Pathway students because the challenge with 322 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:45,759 BYU Pathway is they get this great, super affordable education 323 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240 from a university and they get these certificates in these 324 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:52,240 degrees in their home countries, but then they graduate and 325 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:55,080 there's no jobs for them in their countries and so 326 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,799 they go back to just doing whatever they were doing 327 00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:02,080 before and they're not even using the degree. So what 328 00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:05,200 they need are jobs, and so Isaiah and I have 329 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,440 been going out to businesses and seeing what opportunities they 330 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,159 have for positions in their company that they can outsource 331 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,279 to and whether that's three or five three to five 332 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,639 back office employees to help run the books or do 333 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,480 some management things, or you know, more front facing stuff 334 00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:24,759 like call centers. You know, call centers have been very successful. 335 00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:28,519 Obviously you can hire in larger numbers and they have 336 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,120 great English skills and all that stuff. And so that's 337 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:37,840 been very fun to be a part of because I'm 338 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,919 in the process. I've kind of been a Pathway student 339 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,000 mentor for the last four or five years now since 340 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,519 I got to BYU, mentoring some of these students, and 341 00:15:44,559 --> 00:15:47,159 I'm in the process of becoming a BYU Pathway missionary 342 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,840 officially and just because I'm doing it anyway, so I 343 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,000 was like, why not just get the tag, you know 344 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:58,240 what I'm saying. But but for anyone listening, if you 345 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,080 have a company or you know some one who has 346 00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:04,159 positions that they can outsource internationally, that's what we're trying 347 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,159 to help people do, and we'll make it extremely smooth 348 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,000 and easy for your company to not only bring greater 349 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,320 business value because it's cheaper to hire someone overseas, it 350 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,039 just is that's just the reality, and so it's better 351 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,399 for your business. And also you're changing the lives of 352 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,919 these Pathway students, these people who need help just because 353 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,360 the opportunities aren't there in their home countries. And for 354 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,399 those who are listening who are Latter Day Saints, this 355 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,679 is the gathering of Israel at its highest level. And 356 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:36,320 then right like there's economic success has always preceded someone's 357 00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:39,759 true ability to serve and to gather Israel. There's a 358 00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:43,840 reason that in foreign countries that there is a certain 359 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,519 amount of money that church leaders have to make in 360 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,000 order to qualify to be a bishop or something like that, 361 00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,840 because they don't want to burden the family, right, Like 362 00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:54,919 they're not going to put someone in a bishopric or 363 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,679 call someone as a bishop who is barely making ends 364 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:00,399 meet for their family, right, And so they call it 365 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:02,480 living wages, like you have to you have to have 366 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,119 a living wage in order to serve in leadership positions. 367 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,960 And so you know, getting these jobs for these people 368 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,680 all of a sudden, now they have a living wage, 369 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:13,960 and it opens up so many more opportunities for them 370 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000 to serve. And it's a it's a physical gathering, a 371 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,839 spiritual gathering, but it's also an economic gathering of scattered 372 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,200 Israel because it's just the way our world is set 373 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,160 up that it takes economics a lot of times to 374 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,880 be able to move your life forward in ways you 375 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,240 want to, right, and that's what we're trying to bring 376 00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:32,599 to these people all over the world.

I'm not trying to 391 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,880 get a most I just I think that's powerful because 392 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,839 I'm looking at my conversion story to the Gospel and 393 00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:21,559 those regards someone giving my family an opportunity in that 394 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,440 regard to go to these e fys, right, go to 395 00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:27,000 these things in that regard, like people helped me get 396 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,519 to BYU and I had to put it in the 397 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:30,119 work on my own, like I had to go out. 398 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,440 But then it's afforded me an opportunity to get a 399 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,039 degree and surround myself by wonderful people. So I love 400 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,559 that you guys are doing that to get back and 401 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240 those are things they really do matter, especially for church 402 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,880 leadership spiritually, you know, financially does take economics and really 403 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,160 all this. So I echo that that same message. We'll 404 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,799 finish on this to get you out of here. You said, 405 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:51,799 you know the concepts. What do you see on tape 406 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,319 from Utah? Defensively, obviously you guys know a guy former 407 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:04,839 well you know the Fano and obviously no, they're familiar 408 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,599 with both the familiar with the whole team. With the 409 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,839 whole team, right right, that's just the nature of the robbery. 410 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,519 What do you see on tape for them? What challenges 411 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,200 could they implement, you know on Saturday to the Kuks. 412 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,839 Speaker 4: Well, I mean the challenges that they face are the 413 00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:20,079 the challenges they cause for us, are the same challenges 414 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,720 that a Utah defense causes every year. They're very disciplined 415 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,759 and how they play, they're they're very good on defense 416 00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:31,440 because they're very disciplined in gap sound and they've got 417 00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:34,519 everything covered, right, And then that's been a staple of 418 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,799 wits defenses and Morgan Scalley's for a long time, right, 419 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:42,359 And so obviously they're well coached. You know, I think 420 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,440 they're I think they're very skilled in the secondary, right, 421 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,640 And and you know, those edge players are good all right. 422 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: John Henry and and. 423 00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:53,319 Speaker 4: Logan are both really good football players, both former teammates 424 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,480 of mine, and uh, you know, we respect them that way. 425 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,920 And uh, you know, I think it's gonna be a 426 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,839 really good test because we've got good players too. And 427 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,880 I feel like, you know this is probably on paper, 428 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,359 I mean you probably know this better than me, But 429 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,880 on paper, this feels like one of the more evenly 430 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,440 matched rivalries we've had in a long time. Because nobody 431 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,759 was expecting us to win in twenty one, yep, right, 432 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:24,359 and then we didn't win for a long time before that, 433 00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,960 and then last year was almost the opposite. We were 434 00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:31,359 kind of more heavily favored, and yeah, and uh, you know, 435 00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:34,559 but the I mean everyone says this about rivalries, right, 436 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,640 rivalries even the odds, they regardless of rankings, teams, whatever, 437 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,720 And so it's gonna come down to who can execute, 438 00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:45,440 and that that's that defense can execute really well, and 439 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,240 that that's our challenge is how how can we execute 440 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:49,039 better than them? 441 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: Right? 442 00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:51,799 Speaker 4: Like, they're they're gonna get their calls, they're gonna know 443 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:53,440 what they're doing. You know, they're not going to have 444 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,799 missed assignments, and so it's it's gonna be man on 445 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,240 man who can win, right, who can win in their 446 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:01,759 one on one match? And you know, those those are 447 00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:03,839 the games that can be the most challenging. But in 448 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,640 my experience as a player too, especially, those are the 449 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,119 games are the most fun because it's it's me and you, Right, 450 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,119 it's mono a mono, absolutely, who's gonna win, who's gonna lose? 451 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,559 Speaker 2: All right? 452 00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 4: And so, uh, I think that's what that's what jumps 453 00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:19,319 out to me as you know, we get ready to 454 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,640 play him and stuff. But they're they're a really good defense. 455 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,279 We're looking forward to the challenge. It's gonna be a challenge, indeed. 456 00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:26,799 But I mean, hey, look like you said, you got 457 00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:29,559 pretty good players. I think Isaiah john is pretty good. 458 00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:31,880 I think he's the next level player. Andrew Gentry is 459 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,799 pretty good. Last time I checked Bruce E. 460 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 3: Mitchell, I don't know who he is, but whoever decided 461 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,160 that he should make a switch and take over for 462 00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:40,440 you after you left or stepping up like he looks 463 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,960 to be pretty dog good as well. 464 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:47,839 Speaker 4: The next level. Bruce is a very good players established 465 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:54,240 Austin Son. Goodness, we're blessed, man, We're blessed. We have 466 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,160 good players. And I'm glad that they've had this extra 467 00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:00,480 year in coach Woods system because they've been able to there. 468 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,920 They've been able to take their skill sets so much 469 00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,039 farther than we were able to push it last year, 470 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,960 you know, just because it was getting the bearings, learning 471 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,559 how he coached, how we taught. Now they've had a 472 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,119 whole full year in that system and it's it's paying off. 473 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,960 You know, they're doing a good job. I love those guys. 474 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,559 Speaker 3: You should that powerful. They do it year two. Always 475 00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:20,039 tell people watch how athletes driving the system. You're two 476 00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:22,440 compared to your one.

Hey, I'm just 545 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,920 here so I don't fine Ben exactly. We were gonna 546 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,720 find you hefty hefty finds, just like the Big twelve 547 00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:54,559 finds for throwing tortillas onto the field. There is a 548 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,759 new institutional rule legislation handed down by Brett Yormark r. 549 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:04,079 Some some think he's a tyrant, some think he's a 550 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,359 despot something. He's a fascist football Nazi. But he's just 551 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,119 trying to get some money. He's always trying to find 552 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,000 a way to get make money. He's gonna he's gonna 553 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:15,240 give you a one hundred thousand dollars five. 554 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:16,599 Speaker 5: I gonna say, what was the new one? They it 555 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,799 went up from twenty five. 556 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:19,519 Speaker 2: It's one hundred thousand. Now He's like, you look like 557 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,799 you throw a tortilla twice on the field. That's one 558 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:22,599 hundred thousand dollars. 559 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 5: Fine, it's a credible it seems, and it seems petty, 560 00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:28,680 and in some ways it is. He wasn't the rule 561 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,440 that we vote. 562 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 2: Row stuff at Texas? Uh in the TEXTA you twenty 563 00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:36,680 thirteen or fourteen? I can't remember at the refs, Yeah, 564 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,119 we didn't have trash and so anyway. 565 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 5: So it seems petty and that's what it's obviously being 566 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,319 targeted at. It is interesting though, that in the off season, 567 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,599 when this rule wasn'tforced, uh, it was voted into existence 568 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,839 fifteen to one. UH. Texas tech ad Kirby hool Cut 569 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,519 afterwards said, y'all can I'm not gonna tell you how 570 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:54,160 the vote went, but y'all can probably get through the 571 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,799 one funny man, so freaking funny man, hilarious. Now no 572 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,160 textas tech bad impeded infringer. 573 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: What do you kind of feel bad? Because it's a 574 00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:05,960 freaking it's it's it's it's they're not doing it to 575 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,480 like cause issues or anything, and you know exactly when 576 00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:09,000 it's coming. 577 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 5: So so here's here, Well, here's here's the thing, though, 578 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:14,599 is they are trying to compromise a little bit, because 579 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,119 you can throw each game, you're given two warnings. So 580 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,319 you throw it once, you're giving a warning, you throw 581 00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:22,319 it a second time, you're given a warning. After that, 582 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,640 it's a it's a penalty. It's a it's a penalty 583 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,440 on the infringing team, on the host team probably in 584 00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:30,599 that case. Uh. And then I think it's on the 585 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,960 fourth throw that they start talking fines uh twenty dollars 586 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,359 most of the time. So you're given you're essentially given 587 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,480 three warnings if you're a fan too, if you don't 588 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,519 want the penalty, uh before that. And so this is 589 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:44,759 basically the rest of the conference saying, hey, we like 590 00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,119 this tradition of throwing tortillas at kickoff. Keep doing it. 591 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:50,359 Get your one out of the way. They're gonna give 592 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,480 you a warning. That's semantics, it's no big deal. You 593 00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:54,000 still have one in your back pocket if you really 594 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,119 really need to, So keep throwing it at kickoff. But 595 00:27:57,319 --> 00:28:00,440 this whole throwing tortillas on the field after every time down, 596 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,640 I think is what they're trying to really strike for 597 00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:05,559 the record, and I'm actually okay with that. Like, so again, 598 00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:07,599 there's a little bit of a compromise here, like keep 599 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,640 the main part of the tradition tortillas a kickoff. That's great, awesome, 600 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,039 you're gonna get a warning, it's semantics whatever. Don't worry 601 00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:16,960 about it too much. You keep doing it, then you're 602 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,640 gonna get dinged. 603 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with that. It is what it is. 604 00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:25,880 I feel bad that they're having to maybe change a 605 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,359 little bit of their tradition because they do like to 606 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,559 show a lot of tortillas over there and lubb it. 607 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 5: Uh, how would you don't eat the tortillas? By goes 608 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200 a text attack in a couple of weeks, don't eat 609 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:35,759 the tortillas? 610 00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: How are they. 611 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 6: Smuggling in all that? 612 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:39,759 Speaker 7: That's why you don't need that TORTI question is like, 613 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,400 how are they smuggling all of these tortillas? 614 00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 5: Tell I'll tell you off air. There's a family friendly program. 615 00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:48,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you all those things. Just trust me. 616 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,720 Don't need the things are getting moldy and sweaty. And 617 00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:55,160 someone's pantalonis uh, there's no doubt some underdrawers, if you will, 618 00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:00,359 what if like for like, rather than a coin toss, right, 619 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,400 there was like a scrum between the head coaches like 620 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,839 this would force head coaches to stay in shape, stay 621 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,039 like and a lot of these head coaches are are 622 00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:14,480 are are football players, former football players style Dave portnot 623 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:18,240 no portnoy if excuse me of uh barstool sports was 624 00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:20,680 asked the question it's an asked Dave segment on Twitter 625 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,519 witting him and Satake have have to have to fight 626 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,400 for the first possession who wins? And Dave states, I 627 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,039 think Sataki and I'd agree with him. Sataki, I've seen 628 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,160 I've seen uh Kalani get very angry even in recent history, 629 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,880 like that guy's that still has some fast twitch muscle fiber. 630 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,559 And look, Kyle's getting a little old, he's getting a 631 00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:45,200 little great. He's in great shape. Don't get me wrong. 632 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,920 Don't get me wrong, but I think Satake takes him 633 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,240 know his answer, but about it. 634 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 5: If this is a lake wrestling contest, then I might 635 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:53,680 give we a little bit of a a little bit 636 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,160 of an upperhand here, because have you seen that man's cast. 637 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Kal's got bigger caps kan It's bigger definition. 638 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,039 Speaker 6: That's the conversation we're having. Colonie's Colonie's got baby push. 639 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: I mean he's probably too too fitty he's probably got 640 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,359 at least forty pounds on Kyle right now. He's got 641 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,240 at least forty pounds. 642 00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:12,759 Speaker 5: Here's the reason why I think Colonie's talking is the 643 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,279 real correct answer here though. Uh, Kyle Watingham Coloney, Kyle 644 00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:19,319 winning have significantly older than Kolonie. That's not a surprise. 645 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,559 Colonie was used to be his defensive coordinator for several 646 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,000 years up at the U. So he's kind of got 647 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:28,279 that fatherly figure mentor role. He's a grandfather now, so 648 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,359 we can call him Grandpa Kyle. He you know, he 649 00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:32,359 loves he loves being Grandpa Kyle. 650 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,319 Speaker 2: Uh, that's great. 651 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 5: Colonie and his wife just had a baby, they did. 652 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:39,680 It's got like a two year old right now. So 653 00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:43,200 you know what Klonie has that Kyle hasn't had for decades? 654 00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 4: Now? 655 00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:46,559 Speaker 5: You can you can, you can verify this bin. He's 656 00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:49,640 got new dad strength. Well, that new dad strings where 657 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,680 your brand new where your brand new dad you're a 658 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,519 little bit protective, gives you that extra that extra like 659 00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:56,079 shot of adrenaline. 660 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,599 Speaker 6: Though a lot of true, but how do you make 661 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,480 up for how is effective is the strength? 662 00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:01,759 Speaker 2: Though? 663 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,119 Speaker 5: How do they go for it? That new dead strength 664 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,440 is that shot of it? Is that protector mentality that 665 00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:08,839 this is my group, Like this is my team, I'm 666 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,640 doing it from mine. 667 00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like this is maybe what the better question is 668 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880 is like if you had like a a group of 669 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,359 like like BYU fans, are a group of Utah fans, 670 00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,359 like an all out royal rumble brawl, like who would win? 671 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:26,160 Like you know the demographic? It'd be interesting there. That's 672 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,039 what I'd like to see, Like we should actually put 673 00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,880 together a boxing match full of like BYU fans and 674 00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:33,799 Utah fans and have that it. Now, Utah fans are 675 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:35,519 gonna feel pretty confident. They think we're all nerves. 676 00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:37,839 Speaker 6: I mean, on average, I feel like Utah fans are angrier, 677 00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:40,000 so that I think are. 678 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,039 Speaker 2: They more likely to commit violence? Is the question? 679 00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 6: Well I didn't say that, but I just said they 680 00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:46,640 are more anger on average. 681 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: Who's getting more MMA style training after work? Is the question? Ah, 682 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,480 that is the question. 683 00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 7: I mean, we know a couple of BYU guys who 684 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:58,960 do who are we know? Jared Bledsoe, he does some 685 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,160 uh Jared a nice Resilian jiu jitsu. I got a friend, 686 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680 Blake o'roullian who's a big MMA guy he calls some 687 00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:07,920 of the fights here in Utah. Every time we have 688 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:10,400 this conversation, though, it throws me back to that Heartlands 689 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440 College sports article. I don't know if you guys remember 690 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,160 that from twenty twenty three, but they built this article 691 00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:20,119 titled drafting Big twelve football coaches for an all bar 692 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:20,960 fight team. 693 00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:23,839 Speaker 2: Kalani Sataki was the number one guy selected. 694 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 6: The argument was, there's no question that Sataki is. 695 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 7: The kind of guy you want in your corner at 696 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,400 one am on a Saturday night at the local bar. 697 00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 6: A form of fullback for Byu. 698 00:32:33,759 --> 00:32:36,559 Speaker 7: Sataki has the building presence that makes him the kind 699 00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:39,079 of guy you wouldn't want to find yourself cross with. 700 00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:42,119 Sadaki seemed as nice as they come, and his demeanor 701 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,079 doesn't exactly scream brawler, but I have no doubt that guy. 702 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: Would do damage in a fistfight. Hilarious. One last sound 703 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,519 by because tomorrow we're gonna be at this Swig for 704 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,960 a pregame show the sous Wig.

Wait wait no, we will because 710 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,599 he I mean, he gives a poor rating. But it's 711 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,640 not because of the drake see you later, appreciate you. 712 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,079 It's not because of the delicious drink. It's because of 713 00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:16,799 the service. But all right, let's listen to it. This 714 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,759 is Dave Portnoy, all right. 715 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 8: So I continue just to try to do everything in 716 00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:28,079 provo that is big. This swig here reached out the 717 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,160 home of the dirty Soda. I don't even know what 718 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:34,359 that means. I went to swig uh that that you 719 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,400 just gonna have to deal with that alarm because I can't. 720 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,880 I have one hand on my swig in one hand 721 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,759 on my camera, so that alarm is just gonna go off. 722 00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:42,519 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to deal with it. Anyways. 723 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,519 Speaker 8: There's a twenty minute line to get this thing again. 724 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,599 Middle of the day, like two o'clock on a Friday, 725 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,480 and there was a twenty minute line to get a 726 00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:51,960 swig through the drive through. 727 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,119 Speaker 2: So I ordered, They say, just get the dirty soda. 728 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,839 So the lady comes by, the girl comes by. 729 00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,799 Speaker 8: I said, I will do dirty soda she goes, what's 730 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,839 your base? I'm like, what do you mean, just pick 731 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,799 a thing? So I said coke, and then that's all 732 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,039 I said. So there's a chance that is just a 733 00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:12,039 coca cola, which would be kind of a lot of 734 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:13,519 time to wait for twenty minutes. 735 00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:15,079 Speaker 2: But here we go. One sip. 736 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 8: Everyone knows the rules. Swig Dirt, the home of the 737 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:28,440 dirty soda. It says on the thing, coke with a 738 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,320 little coconut in it, and I think that's what it is. 739 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,960 But it tastes just like a coke. So I think 740 00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:38,880 I did Swig totally wrong. When I ordered it, I 741 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,840 said what she said, what do you want your base? 742 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440 I said, coke? She looked at me. I looked at her. 743 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,599 No other words were exchanged, and we just drove through. 744 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:48,320 I have no idea what a dirty drink is or 745 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,199 what I was supposed to do. I think I got 746 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,079 a coca cola with like, instead of a lime in it, 747 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,000 like a dash of coconut. And I waited half an hour, 748 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,840 a little disappointed in Swig. 749 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 7: If we're being honest, you're telling me no one ever 750 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,480 waited in line twenty minutes for a Starbucks, because I 751 00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:08,239 bet you they have, so it is unfortunate that he 752 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,519 just didn't know. I guess he probably doesn't have any 753 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:12,639 Utah people who are friends with him who would be 754 00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:17,039 able to kind of walk him, and I don't like 755 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:17,960 I don't follow him for that. 756 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 6: If I'd never been I don't think I would have 757 00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:20,880 any clue of. 758 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 2: What to do.
