Thank you for listening today. 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: On Thursdays, we chat with our friend Chad Rendell Chad 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: bearcadtournal dot com, covering all things U see. 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: Sports and he's he's been busy. 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: With football and the transfer portal basketball so much more 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: so here to talk about those things is the aforementioned 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Chad Rendell. 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 3: Hi, Chad, I'm sorry. I was telling Taren about my 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: dinner in Memphis. That was really good. That's my bad. 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: I understand, It's okay. 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 2: Honestly, there's a big part of me that would rather 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: talk about your dinner in Memphis than the things we're 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: about to discuss. 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it was really good. I had a flight 16 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: of surf and turf though. 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: Oh well, now I really would rather talk about that 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: than what we're about to talk about. But I had 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: to serve the audience, and you know how that works. 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: So here we go. Yeah, what now I'm talking men's basketball? 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: What now? 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: Sixteen games left in the regular season, one game left 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: in the conference tournament. Being kind, I mean, I don't know, 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: like I don't have it. There's no reason to have 25 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: any confidence at this point that this team is going 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: to turn it around, like they're going to have to 27 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 3: earn that, and so far they had not, And it's 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: unfortunate because I think, ultimately, like this is a group 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: of guys that I like. Since the first half of 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: the cleansing game, I feel like they're playing hard. I 31 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: feel like they're fighting. I feel like it's a team 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: that they're a leade on defense, they're really good rebounding, 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: like it's a team that a lot of has a 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: lot of qualities that we've enjoyed as Cincinnati fans. They 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: just stink on offense, and I mean I think I 36 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: counted four different stretches against West Virginia where they went 37 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: at least three minutes without a point. And when that's 38 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: the case, I don't know, like where's the turnaround where, like, logically, 39 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: can you say I feel like this team's going to 40 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: get it back on track. They're below two hundred in 41 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: offense for the season on ken Pom, and they they 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: they're not moving right, like they're right in that range 43 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: and they're not. It's not like they had a bad 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 3: start and they're trending back up. I just don't see 45 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: any specific areas where I look at it and go, Okay, 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 3: I think this team's gonna get it on track, especially off. 47 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: What has been most disappointing to you about their offense 48 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: this season? 49 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: What's the identity of their offense? What? You know? What? 50 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 3: What are they supposed to be offensively? You know we 51 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: knew coming in and no I have talked about this 52 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: a lot over the years. When we go back at 53 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: the end of the West Miller era and say, what 54 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: went wrong Wes Miller's ability to find a number one, 55 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: to find a give me the ball. I'm gonna make 56 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: something happen. I mean, I know people say like like 57 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: Dave de Julius and Landers, Dolly, I think those are 58 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: Landers was kind of an off ball guy. Julius was 59 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: probably the best he had, but that doesn't mean he 60 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: was like an all big twelve guy. They haven't been 61 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: able to find the number one. They haven't been able 62 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: to recruit one, they haven't been able to get one 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 3: in the portal, they haven't been able to develop one. 64 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: And it just makes you know everybody has to now 65 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: play up a spot or two and where they should 66 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: be on the you know, allocation of roles and we're 67 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: seeing that doesn't work. Like Dayda Thomas is their leading scorer, 68 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: he's probably their best offensive player, but he's a guy 69 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: that scores in spurts, right, He's a guy that will 70 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: put up seven, eight, ten points in quick fashion, but 71 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 3: then he ends the game with fifteen. So that means 72 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: in the other you know, thirty seven minutes, he scored 73 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: five points. We saw that against Houston. We saw it 74 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: the other night. Coming out of the second half. He 75 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: got hot, but he didn't do a whole lot else 76 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: the rest of the game. You're asking guys to be 77 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: something that they're not, and that's just not a way 78 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: to be successful at this level. 79 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: If you would have said a sentence that you just 80 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: uttered there back in August, which is Dayda Thomas is 81 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: their best offensive player, if you would have said that 82 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: back in August, I think everybody was said, there's no 83 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: frickin way. And if that's the case, those things have 84 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: gone poorly. And so when the team was put together, 85 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: I cannot imagine nothing against Daydae, who we all like, 86 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: and you know, at the end of the first half 87 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 2: against Houston, he was electrifying. But when the team was 88 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: put together, it was put together with the idea, I 89 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: would imagine that somebody would be their their go to 90 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: guy offensively, who is it supposed to be and why 91 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: has that person not been what they're supposed to be. 92 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: Well, No, if you listen to the preseason preview show 93 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: on Bearcat journal dot com, m HM, I predicted Dayda 94 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: Thomas would be their leading scorer because I didn't see 95 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: anybody else that was capable of you know, look, it's 96 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,239 Speaker 3: really difficult for like a Mustapha Chom who was young 97 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: and still developing. He's going to have his fifteen sixteen 98 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: seventeen point nights like we've seen, but he's also gonna 99 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: have some four point nights. Baba Miller without a jump shot, 100 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: teams are gonna be able to play off him, and 101 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: it's gonna be against the better teams, the higher end teams. 102 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: It's gonna be really hard for him to consistently get 103 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: up in that fourteen fifteen sixteen point range. I didn't 104 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: see anybody on this roster other than day Day that 105 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: was gonna be able to consistently put every night, night 106 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: in and night out, double digit points on the board. 107 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: And I mean, now Gigsel's back, I guess you could 108 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 3: could say him, but I mean, he kind of looks 109 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: like Gigsel James. Again, doesn't he where some nights it's 110 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: there when that mid range shot is falling, he can 111 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: be really deadly. When it's not falling, he can go 112 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: three for thirteen. And that's that's ultimately Wes Miller put 113 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: over the five years that he's been here, he put 114 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 3: a ton of eggs in the basket that Dan Skillings 115 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: and Digsel James we're gonna evolve and be, you know, 116 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: first team, second team All conference type guys. It didn't happen. 117 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: If this ends in Wes Miller being let go at 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: the end of the season, that's probably the number one 119 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: reason why. 120 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: Wes has sounded after each of the last two games 121 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: like somebody who feels the walls closing in on him 122 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: and somebody who clearly is is feeling the heat, both 123 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: externally and. 124 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure internally. 125 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: What's your take on how he has come out after 126 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: each of these last two losses. 127 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: He's handled it really poorly. I think in retrospect he'd probably, 128 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I hope he would tell you that you 129 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: can't look. Dan Hord is a bleeping legend in this town. 130 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: You can't come out and be short with Dan Horde, 131 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: who was giving him grace. I'm sure your guys are 132 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: in that locker room feeling terrible right now. He's he's 133 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: giving less some cushion and then to jump down Dan's throat. 134 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: It's a bad look. It's it's it's not professional. It 135 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: doesn't And the biggest thing about it mo what he's 136 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: talking about. What he's what he's saying. Nobody is taking 137 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: shots at his team. That's not happening. Nobody is is 138 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: piling on this roster, these individual players, not nearly like 139 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: we saw last year. This has all been aimed and 140 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: directed at Wes Miller. So this tirade about you know, 141 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: leave my guys out of it and bunker mentality and 142 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: us against the world, that's not what's happening. There's a 143 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: disconnect then, And look, the walls are closing in. He 144 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: doesn't feel the walls closing in. He sees the walls 145 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: closing in. So look, if I had a three million 146 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: dollar a year job, I don't. I mean, I own 147 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: a multimedia conglomerate empire. But we're not quite at that 148 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: level yet, not yet. If I felt not yet, we're 149 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 3: getting there. If I felt the walls closing in and 150 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: I knew, like I could see the light at the 151 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: end of the tunnel, but I was well aware that 152 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: that light was a train, I'd probably be panicking too. 153 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: But you're the adult in the room, man, Like you're 154 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: supposed to be the leader of men, and you can't 155 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: come out and handle yourself like that. And maybe if 156 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 3: it happens once, everybody gives it a pass and goes Look, 157 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: they had just played a tough Houston team close. He 158 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: feels like his team's ready to turn the corner, like 159 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: I understand, But then to come back out and do 160 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: it again after another loss where you can't figure out 161 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: you can't get your team across the finish line. It's 162 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: a terrible look. Man, It's just a terrible look. 163 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: I think for me, what's interesting, and I talked about 164 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: this extensively yesterday, I think, as a general rule, and 165 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure there have been exceptions. I know how social 166 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: media works, but I think, as a general rule, fans 167 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: and folks who talk about this team on public forums 168 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: have been very patient and I think have been very fair. 169 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 2: You know, I've done this show for the entirety of 170 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: Wes's tenure here. I don't recall anybody saying the things 171 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: about Wes that they said about Mick Cronin in his 172 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: first three or four years, right where it was often 173 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: about things that had nothing to do with basketball. I 174 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 2: think there has been an understanding of the difficulty of 175 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: the job both year one, when he got to gig 176 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: in mid April and how hard that was, and then 177 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: moving into the Big twelve, and then everybody adjusting to 178 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: the reality that is the current college sports land. And 179 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: there was some exasperation and a lack of patience being 180 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: exhibited last year. But I feel like as a general 181 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: rule of the sense was okay, that team didn't click, 182 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: try again next year year five, but you got to 183 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: get to the dance, and by the way, just get 184 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: to the dance doesn't mean gott to get to the 185 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: second weekend of the tournament, doesn't mean you've got to 186 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: win the Big twelve B team sixty eight and that'll 187 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: be tangible proof of progress. I think this entire time 188 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: his program has been talked about in fairness. As a 189 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: general rule, I think it is the criticisms have been 190 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: confined to what's happening on the floor and the results 191 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: these teams have achieved. And so what's interesting to me 192 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: is I would understand if a coach lashed out at 193 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: things that were unfair, narratives that had built that were unfair. 194 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: I just simply, and I like Wes a lot, I 195 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: just simply don't think that's been the case here. 196 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: I agree at one thousand percent. I don't feel like, 197 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I've been harsh because I think that's it's warranted. 198 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: Like this was last year. Look, we saw progress year 199 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: one to year two, year two to year three. Last 200 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: year was supposed to be the year and it didn't work. 201 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 3: Dan Skillings got hurt, Dan Skillings didn't develop. I think 202 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: you probably built a roster that that fair or unfair, 203 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: didn't allow some guys to play to their strengths. Like 204 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: it just okay, it didn't work. It's basketball. Sometimes your 205 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: roster building just doesn't work. Yes, but that can't happen 206 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: twice in a row with an entirely different team where 207 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: the issues not only look the same, but the same 208 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 3: issues are showing up worse than the year before. The 209 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: offense is decidedly worse than it was a year ago. 210 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: I mean, there was one point a couple of weeks ago, 211 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: bo they were lasting the Big twelve and two point percentage, 212 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: three point percentage and pre pro percentage. That that speaks 213 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: for itself. Things have regressed and that's ultimately when we're 214 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: talking the world of sports. And I like Wes too 215 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 3: West has been good to me. We had a good 216 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 3: relationship from the time he got here. Like this, this 217 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: is not pointed at less. You've got a high paying 218 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: job with high expectations. When you have back to back 219 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 3: years of regression, the walls closed in. That's just how 220 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: this works. Unfortunately. Like I don't know what else like 221 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: can can really be said other than you know, if 222 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: this team started looked better than last year's team, but 223 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: they were still probably seventh eighth in the Big twelve, 224 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: and it's like, all right, well they're they're gonna be 225 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: battling for a bubble spot again. Like some of the 226 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: criticism would be unwarranted at that point, but that's not 227 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: what we're talking about. We're talking about a team that 228 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: the Crown is going to be like, I think we're good. 229 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: Uh all right, well we got to run uh next 230 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: next week, I'll ask you who J. C. 231 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: French is. I'll look forward to that. Thank you as always. 232 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: We don't have to run MO, it's your show. You 233 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: can do whatever the heck you want. 234 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: Well, we do have to. 235 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: We do have to get a unless you want to 236 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: stick around and say some more stuff. I mean, I hell, 237 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: you know, it feels like you got some things, some 238 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: things to get off your chest. 239 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: I don't. I'm just saying like you don't like you know, 240 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: I've hosted this show before. 241 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: You have that. No, you have, and I've already blown 242 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: through one here. I will, uh, I will. 243 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: I will talk to you uh next Thursday. I'm sure 244 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: we'll have a lot today.
