How was the birthday party yesterday? 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:25.400 Birthday party was awesome? 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:32.920 Mason turned eight yesterday. He's a beast. He's five foot one. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.440 Getting ready or not? 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.679 Hit it? 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.360 It would be I would be disappointed if we didn't. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.720 So no, he's he's a beast, but he's a little sweetheart. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.640 And he turned eight yesterday. Harry Potter themed birthday, so 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.160 some of the inherited items from the hockey household were 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.480 put into play yesterday, which was awesome. Yeah, I know, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.520 it was a great day. How many wands did he 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.760 give you? Out of out of five? We got four 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.360 wands out of five. Honestly, we woke up yes today 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.120 with a little bit of an existential crisis and he 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.080 was in tears because he the night before Abby, my 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.120 wife accident, not accidentally, but she said, I've had so 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.840 much fun with you being seven. I'm so excited for 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:12.679 you to be eight. Seven was so much fun. He 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.720 woke up and he was he was sad that he 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.760 wasn't going to be seven anymore because mom had so 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.280 much fun when we were seven. So we started our 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.560 birthday with tears and we worked our way through it. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.040 We had again Harry Potter themes, so we had hanging 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.919 candles that would be turned on with a magic wand 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.639 so he had fun with that. The Hogwarts Express was 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.960 the hockey element, so this is real like Lionel Train, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.520 Hogwarts Express. He had fun with that. So we snapped 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.200 out of it relatively quick. But it did start with tears, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:39.440 which was not expected. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.320 But it is good. That's just sweet. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.160 Coincidentally, coincidentally, Adam, this is exactly what you and I 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.360 were just talking about in the hallway down I walked down. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:47.959 We were just talking about how year a sun is 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.760 about to go into what pre k and the transition 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.160 from not being in school to school is gigantic, right, Yeah, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.000 that's passy to time. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.760 I mean, like you said, that's the childhood is fleeting 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.799 and before I know it, they're they're growing up and 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.320 become little human beings. And so this pre K move, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.160 I'm trying to talk them through it yesterday of like, 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.079 you know, hey, new school change is scary, but it's 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.000 good a little life lesson. That's what I love being 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.280 a dad is like being able to share and you know, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:13.360 kind of help them through. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.240 Those those changes. 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.239 And you remember really quickly that they have the worries 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.680 and they have the fears, but once they get in 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.960 play with other kids or they get a magic wand 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.720 their mind's off and they're good and they're back to go. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.359 So that's the piece that we can have as the 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.280 parents there. But it's good. I have also an eleven 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:29.600 year old soon to be twelve year old and his 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.840 voice is changing, and we're going through that sort of 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.000 stuff and it's like, all right, that's a different step 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.480 when you're thinking middle school and we homeschool, so it's 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.720 a little different. But at the same time, like there's 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.120 a different friend dynamics and things you're playing when you're 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.480 eleven twelve than there are when you're you know, four 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.640 or five in that age and eight years but it's 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.280 like you said, it is a journey. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.960 I know some of you have been through this already. Fatherhood. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.120 Having kids is one of the best, confusing, hardest things. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.280 But it's every day is a journey and it's super fun. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:02.440 Yeah, having one that's going to college, don't transition. Enjoy it. 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.720 Enjoy every minute of it. Yeah, idea, especially daddy's little girl. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.440 It's been a little hard. Uh, brought a lot of 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.480 tears the last few weeks. Has started to hit me 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.680 pretty hard. We went to orientation. But again, at the 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:21.000 same time, that's that's what we're uh yeah, that's what 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.039 we're raising for unfortunately, is to be grown ups and 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.000 to be their own person. 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.640 And we couldn't be more proud of Gianna. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.720 But we would like to rewind time and go back 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.080 to the pre k and you know, go back to 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.760 remember we're going to Hogwarts down at the MGM Grand 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:40.080 MGM Grant. That's a much different place, much different place. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.080 But yeah, I know, taking her down there in Florida 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.360 to that and her tearing up going into Diagon Alley 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.000 and all that stuff. So yeah, just cherish every minute 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.680 of it. Take lots of pictures. Chris, not quite yet, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:53.880 but I am. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.240 I'm just so happy that the train is still having fun. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.080 I'll never forget getting that. And and again you talked 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.600 about it when we were in here, had it with 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.760 Alex because the Harry Potter movie started when he was 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.039 in the Perfect Age. He's thirty one now crazy hey, right, 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.839 and then Abigail, who's just turned twenty four a couple 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.960 of weeks ago, her again and now to see the 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.279 train carrying on into another generation makes me really happy. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:17.880 So that's great. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.560 And it still puffs out smoke, probably from the last 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.360 time you loaded it. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.760 Yeah, yeah, that was one of it. Was the sauce 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.320 that loaded it up for Yeah, so well, welcome in everybody. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.840 How we feel And I don't know, is this a 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.120 nerve wracking experience for u AJ? Do you feel like 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.800 you know you got it defended or you have you moved. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.880 Past that the game? Obviously there's some russ that you're 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.040 always worried about shaking off. I took a lap, I 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.840 said hi to folks, got that out of my system. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.560 That was I think the hurdle to jump. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.000 Being back in the building is fun to see people 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.520 and have that opportunity, So yeah. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.320 I meant not yet. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.800 Yeah, now we're good but these guys can play and 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.400 it's it's always fun to come in and you know, 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.440 have a different group than what you're used to, and 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:04.520 we'll see what happens. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.760 But again, there's always a little pressure. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.279 But I think we've had pressure for what Corey did 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.839 the interview the day thirteen years ago. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.720 I think it was because something like Brady for Mack 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.400 was born thirteen years ago. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.600 We've had different scenarios, whether we're giving away motorcycles or 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.560 trips to London or whatever it is where we've had 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.080 the pressure before. So I don't think that'll be a factor. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.960 But we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. Oh no, we 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:27.599 shall see. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.159 Glenn basically I learned time. 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.760 Glenn basically re enacted the exact scene that he had 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.080 when he won the first round last year, minus the 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.479 T shirt he's wearing. But he's got his same friend 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.400 in the corner, his host over here. He requested to 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.760 be in this room like he set the table to 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.400 reenact his win last year. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.680 So we'll see if that works as well. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.240 What about you, Adamy, feel feeling excited, You're feeling ready 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:50.480 to go? 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.039 Yeah, no, I'm pumped to be here. But yes, very 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.360 there's nerves involved. I try, and you know, you try. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.799 Problem the great thing as you guys put that past 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:58.440 episodes up. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:06:59.440 Yeah, give us so much. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:00.359 You know. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.440 I just wonder You're like, can you really practice at 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.360 this or is it just something you're just good at? 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.359 Like it just depends on the edge of the letters. Man, 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.200 I'm gonna tell you for sure, it really does. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.000 Some of the ones you've pulled so far had been 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.320 like way harder than otherwise. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.600 Yeah, I've been very happy. I haven't gotten a couple 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.840 fair enough. By the way. Ron Johnson just tried calling me. Oh, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.560 that can't be good. It wasn't a text.

But man, this kid's ceiling from a national 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.160 perspective is growing by the date. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.640 You guys, buy it or not? What do you like? 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.080 What are you not like? What does he have to learn? 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.800 Prototype Like, he's a prototypical quarterback when you look at 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.559 his size, height, arm strength, his ability to look back 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.640 and forth and scan the field. The biggest thing I 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.880 noticed was in the bowl game, and I think I 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.640 tweeted a video of it, was he's still willing to 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.600 drive the ball in the holes that the receivers aren't 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.080 really giving them space. And I don't know if it 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.120 was scheme. I don't know if the receivers made a mistake, 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.200 because when I tweeted it, people were arguing me, like, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.600 that's the play. There's no way that's the play. Receiver 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.600 ran to comeback first cover four, but stay between the 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.160 safety in the corner. So basically you're running the comeback 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:41.880 to a corner sitting out there waiting for you to 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.960 come back to him. And so I just wonder, like, 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.600 is Drake Lindsay or was Drake Lindsay truly given you know, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.360 all the possible weapons abilities. And that's why I think 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.640 Isaac fricktie's in here now, like, you know, to kind 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.160 of get that going and making sure the receivers. Because 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.600 Glenn Mason always said this, He said, the old Woody Hayes, 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.840 Ohio state coach. He said, coach, I told him a 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.640 thousand times and he still couldn't get it. He said, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.120 We're a horrible ass coach. You know, like if you 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.760 tell hibout a thousand times and they don't get it, 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.600 you're a bad coach. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.720 And that's why I think PJ. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.800 Flex always says, like, you know, he's a sixth grade 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.120 whatever teacher, but he had to teach each kid a 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:13.640 different way. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.080 And so I think. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.600 That's going to be the key to this group is 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.880 getting each receiver to understand or the coach learning what 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.120 what are the how do these guys learn? 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.920 I mean, honestly, I'm not making any jokes. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.160 My roommate Jermaine May's might have been the dumbest receiver I've. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.559 Ever met in my life. We had a test one time. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.040 You remember, we used to take tests for football be 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:33.760 for so we had to take a test before the game. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.000 You got to tell the coach the question was like, 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.120 on this play, what do you have His answer was 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.880 I play X. He's like, I don't play that position. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 I'm not answering that question. Our coach wanted us to 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.280 know the whole offense. He was like, I play X. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.560 He answered that like seven times our coach showed us 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.840 the test. He was like, are you serious right now? 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.600 He wrote, I play X. He's like, I don't understand. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:54.920 I don't need to do Was he wrong? 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:56.120 No, he was right. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.640 Should he should have gave a multiple choice where he 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.680 had to pick an option, but he was hoping, like, hey, 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.000 on three eighty three, what do you have? 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.680 Well, I got the three route. He's like, I play EX. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.080 Like I don't know what those guys on this, but no, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.160 I think the ceiling for Drake Lindsay is legit. Like 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.840 I've been out there and watched practice they do the 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.560 goldpro and the helmet to kind of watch his eyes 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.320 what he's looking at. And for what I've heard, the 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.720 kid is dead on like he's a smart kid, strong, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.360 like I said, he's he's a big, strong kid. And 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:25.720 if you think about the way a lot of these 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.240 offenses are now, and you talk about Kevin O'Connell, you know, 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.080 wanting to get to the line and play fast, and 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.000 I want to be able to pull up forty plays 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.960 out of my you know card. Drake Lindsay's a kid 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.959 like that. And not saying he's going to be with 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.679 the Vikings. I'm just saying he is what a lot 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:38.600 of NFL coaches are looking. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.240 Adam, what do you like? Yeah? 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.160 No, I think the ceiling is fair, the hype is fair. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.680 He has all the tangibles, his size, arm strengths, the intangibles, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.160 how he interacts with the guys. I think he's a 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.680 good leader, natural leader. So you know, I'd love to 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.880 see it because it gives some national attention to the 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.480 Minnesota go first when you know we're middle of the pack, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.960 maybe even slightly below that. If he has a good year, 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.200 I mean a good quarterback changes things and going into 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.880 his third year, yeah, let's let's buy into it. Let's 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.000 watch see what happens. I like him a lot. I 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.800 like Drake a lot, and I think he's gonna be 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.840 a great asset for the Gophers offense this year. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.679 I heard Justin Guard say this the other day that 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.480 you know, he had three interceptions against Iowa, but that 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.920 game was a disaster top to bottom right, The whole 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.360 team imploded, including Drake. But outside of that game, I 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.040 think he had two or three the rest of the year. Yeah, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.920 so just did not turn the ball over for a 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.680 freshman and not turn the ball over all seat of 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:33.840 one disastrous game. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.600 That's pretty good. Yeah, really good. Yeah. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.240 You gotta look at the health though of Darius Taylor. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.679 It's gonna come down can you run the ball. If 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.120 you can run the ball, you can keep them in 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.280 manageable positions, if they're in third, nine, third and fourteen 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.400 because you know they're not getting any traction. Darius Taylor's 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.800 you know, out again because every year has been something, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.680 you know, and so I think PJ. Flex's goal is 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.600 he always wanted to find three running backs, you know, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.680 that whole joke pairing a spear with Marion Barbara Maroney days. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.360 But he wanted to find somebody where Darius Taylor didn't 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.800 have to carry the ball like he's Adrian Peterson because he's. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:01.320 Not built to do that. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.600 He's built like these NFL guys now with you know, 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.600 they wont another running back in that room with them, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.680 and you know, I think that's the gopher this team 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.520 to run the ball. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:09.520 I mean, but think about it. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.120 If the portal didn't exist, they had to tackle, go 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.000 to Ohio State and start. They had another tackle, go 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.600 to Northwestern and start. Like I back in the day, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.720 those guys would have been here for their senior year 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.000 with Drake Lindsay getting ready to block for deers to 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.319 you know, like it's just that has changed. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.559 The scope of college football too. Like PJ. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.440 Fleck has recruited some top guys, they just leave because 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.880 we have what nineteen fortune five hundred companies, And I 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.120 don't think a lot of those CEOs are Gophers, Like 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.559 I don't think they were born here. I don't think that, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.360 you know, like there's not a lot of lower to 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.439 in the money where like in Texas, those guys are 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.560 Texas born bread rays and they're finding oil and then 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.640 they're like, hey, here's twenty million dollars. Go go get 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.600 you a Lamborghini in a quarterback, you know, or go 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:47.480 get you an offensive line. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.560 You don't have a lot of rich friends, I do. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.320 They don't like the Gophers though that supposed to me. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.680 I mean, Jack Greenway played for Iowa. He's rich. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.080 He could help out PJ. Fleck, but er look at 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.240 that exactly. Paris is not helping out. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.920 Oh, the Gophers didn't recruit him and he was good enough? 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.400 Did they not heard that story? They didn't hear that story? Well, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.600 they weren't interested. What did he do though he played? 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:11.839 No? 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.920 What did he do though he did something off the ice? No, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.920 he majored in hockey whatever. They never recruited him. Wow, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.080 that happens. Though. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.280 We heard those stories a lot. We heard those stories. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.600 We did, Yeah, I think we have. We've heard a 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.280 lot of guys say that Gopher didn't want me and 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:31.640 went somewhere else they worked out for want me either? 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.960 And your search hitch history is sketchy. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:38.280 You know what? 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.240 I deleted that every night as far as I know. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:40.840 Cognito. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.880 Yeah, astely you got it. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.920 Gets it?

Yeah, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:51.720 how about that? 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.840 He takes six expreshows espresso shots every morning, like within 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.120 the first five minutes of being. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.680 When completely overlooked though, was that when he was telling 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.680 that story, he was six espresso shots and he was 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.280 already on his second energy drink. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.200 I mean, don't they say don't drink coffee when you 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.320 want to have babies like, that's. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:07.720 Kind of bath. 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.120 What do you think he's trying to get something knocked up? 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.400 I would hope. So I'll hammer the under the wrong parts. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.720 That works, Rod, I think he is going to hammer 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.000 the under. Amen, I take that bet? 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:24.960 All right? 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:25.640 Should we do this? 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:26.760 I think we should? 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:27.160 All right? 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:28.720 Although I know I've asked this question. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:29.120 I don't. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.720 By the way, your haircut is nice. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.760 Well, no, I don't know.
