But I do have some questions. One, 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.720 how many pushups can she do? 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.280 What the hell you know? 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.919 I don't I don't know. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.280 I know that I've done. I think it was twenty 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:00.320 eight and thirty seconds. How recently, like two months ago? Okay, 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.600 that's pretty rare. I think that number's probably gone out. Yeah, 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.640 if it's fairly recently, that's okay. I've never I don't 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.720 like people tell me how like? This always comes up 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:08.520 with running. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:09.040 On thousand and six. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.440 This always comes up with running with me? And how 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.120 long to take you to run the ten k or whatever? 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:13.720 I used to run? 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.840 A ten k and whatever. Yeah, how long ago was that? 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.720 When's the last time you ran a ten k? And 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.800 if you haven't done it in fifteen years, I don't 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.039 freaking care. All right, what difference does it make? Do 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.000 it now nineteen seventy eight? By the way, as long 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:26.679 as you ask. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.680 Literally the last time you ran a ten k that 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:32.960 might have been seventy nine. 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.480 I'm gonna do one in the next year. That's what 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.039 I'm building up too. I'm gonna run a ten k 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:36.680 in the next year. 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.720 I am one of those I need to get that 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.440 zero point zero sticker for my car because I've. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.640 Never run a ten k and will never run a 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:44.000 ten k. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.640 I've never seen that. That's hilarious. Zero point zero in 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.920 the same font. Yeah, it's perfect, and it says I 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:50.440 don't run. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.560 If a bear chases me for ten kilometers, I will 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.320 do a ten k. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.760 There you go, turn to the bear and say how 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.000 long are we going to do this? Because if it's 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.840 going to be more than six point one miles, I 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:05.840 might I. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.960 Might just lay down right, Why would I want you 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.720 to eat me when I'm tired. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.679 And you're just just get this. No advantage to either 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.440 one of us, cut to the chase, cut the chase 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.680 to the catch. So you've done that many push ups 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.720 fairly recently. That's a good chunk of push ups right there. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.720 I have not done a one since my back problem 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.920 started last summer, So I think I need to start 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:27.800 working my way back. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:30.960 I haven't even tried it. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.639 I'm I'm three out of the last five days, I think. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.600 So I'm on a bit of a role here eating 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:42.760 an exercise. Have you ever been arrested? No, No, there 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:43.960 there's a hesitation. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.320 No, there was a dumb situation when I was in. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.920 Middle school that it resulted in me getting in a 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.320 lot of trouble momentarily before the truth came out. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:56.239 But you weren't arrested. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:58.760 No, I've never been arrested. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.359 So your hesitation wasn't Should I say this out loud 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.800 on the air or not? Your hesitation was because I 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:05.560 went through. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.400 The most of the everything other than getting booked. I 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.359 went through the process up. Some kid ripped the Mercedes 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.000 emblem off of the vice principal's car and stuck it 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.240 in my backpack because I had come from a Christian 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.720 school and he was all anti Jesus and God and 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.119 all that. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.040 Wow, and then told and then told the school. 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.359 And the best part was when the assistant principal came 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.040 and got me from class and she pulls me out 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.680 and she says, you know, I think you have something 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.519 of mine and I'm like, oh no. She goes, you 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.840 might be wearing it around your neck, because all the 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.840 kids were like wearing the big fake car emblems around 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.800 their chain. I remember, yeah, yeah, And so I pulled 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.160 out the Catholic, you know, the Celtic cross that my 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.360 mom had got me, and I'm like, I'm clueless. At 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.160 this point, she opens my backpack and there was a 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.360 Mercedes emblem in there. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:53.000 Wow. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.360 So this kid went and said, Katie Green stole the 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.120 Mercedes emblem, said he. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.440 Saw me take it, and he did it to another 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.080 girl that transferred to the school from the same school 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.480 with me. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.600 So we both got pulled into the office and we're 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.680 talking to the cops and. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.720 Well, and how long did it take you to straighten 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.760 this out? Flavor, Flavor? How did you clear it? How 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.000 did you clear yourself? 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.680 It took about I think I was in the office 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.000 for four and a half hours writing a statement and everything, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.880 and then the whole time I'm going my dad's a judge. 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:26.600 Just call him. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.839 We'll clear this up, you know, because he was a 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.160 judge at the time, and yeah, it took a lot. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:33.640 It was traumatic. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.480 Now, for some reason, this reminds me of one of 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.440 my more embarrassing stories. Before we get there, Katie, what 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.599 does it take to become a judge? Because Jack knows this, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.520 I've been saying for years I ought to be a judge. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.560 Do you know why? Because I'm so judgmental. Yeah, I 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.279 didn't want to say it. I think I'd be really 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:52.200 good at it. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.560 So did your dad get elected or was he an 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:56.520 appointed judge? 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.359 Or he was he was appointed by Duke Majon Oh okay, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:01.960 a governor of yesteryear. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.279 Yes, okay. Was he a TV judge? A TV judge 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:07.039 on TV? 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:07.480 Oh? 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.560 He can give Judge Judy a run for money. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.120 Oh, I still want to be a TV judge anyway. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.640 Jack has an embarrassing story. I'm gladys I was in 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.000 high school. I didn't believe I was a sophomore in 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:22.800 the band. And this is embarrassing for odd reasons. So 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:28.440 the trumpet section had decided that during this rest a rest. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.160 If you don't know, music is silence or you'd stop playing. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.960 But in this case, it was actually silence during the song. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.479 During the rest, all the trumpet players were gonna, I 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.800 forget what if the noise was even pretend to burp 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.880 or something like that. So it's like about about about 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.200 about about a bout about about but everybody was going 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:52.200 to do that, and then and and I didn't, but 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.760 all the other trumpet players did. And the band teacher 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.080 went back crazy, like band teachers do over anything. Yes, yes, 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.599 because they ate, because they hate like they hate the 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.760 fact that they're genius musicians usually and other teaching a 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.280 bunch of teenagers who couldn't give a crap about music, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.520 and it makes them so angry that they drink and 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:12.359 yell at children. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.840 This is when you sat them. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.880 Yes, he used to throw his keys at people, this 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.360 whole city keys or the baton. He threw the baton 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.920 at people, erasers, all kinds of stuff. But anyway, he 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.240 got so mad at people burping during the rest, and 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.599 he went one by one who did it? 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:27.719 Who did that? 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.039 And then everybody's just kind of sitting there and some 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.280 people were smirking whatever, And he went one by one 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.760 and looked them in the eye and put their finger 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.120 right in their face. Did you make that sound during 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.520 the rest and most of them, most of them fessed 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.520 up and said yes, But it got to me and 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.360 I said no because I didn't so I had. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:46.080 I was like. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.240 It was like a triple whammy of awful. I don't 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.920 think the band teacher believed me. The other kids were like, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.200 what a puss because I didn't. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.799 And then I was I was feeling horrible for fever. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.720 I'm thinking I was lying and that my peers thought 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.520 I was weak for not joining them in the completely 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:06.760 meaningless hijinks. 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.080 But that's kind of person I was. I didn't join 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.320 in the hijinks. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.000 And here we are, all these years later, and it's 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:12.800 still affecting me. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.160 It's still affecting me, not because it bothers me, because 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:16.640 I didn't. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.160 I'd feel better if I had. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.360 Well, you may have been a trumpeter, but you've certainly 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.240 earned the sad trombone. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.640 Wa wah. That's exactly that's exactly right. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.400 I didn't join in meaningless nobody gets hurt teenage hijinks 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:33.880 because I was too straight laced? 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.080 Isn't that incredible? 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.000 And you still got yelled at for it? And I 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.880 still got in trouble for it because he didn't believe me. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.040 I could tell he didn't believe me. 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.920 So are there any more questions for Katie? 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:43.120 Yes? 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:51.120 I enjoying this. Have you ever been arrested? Uh?

That's a really big one. He 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.200 was really sweet at what point in his life. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.440 Later Actually this was in twenty. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.040 Eleven, so that's towards the end. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.200 Then. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.320 Yeah, he was at I was at a comedy show 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.080 and his daughter was performing and he was there to 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:18.680 watch his daughter. 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:19.680 Ah. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.360 It's a cool Bay Area guy. So yeah, easier to 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.280 run into the purple onion. Do you get anything out 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:28.960 of meeting celebrities at this point in your life? 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.240 Not really? Yeah, I don't really. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.960 After you meet up ahead, everybody should get to have 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.760 the experience of meeting enough celebrities to realize it ain't nothing. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.319 Yeah, just it ain't nothing. Used to fairly awkward. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.440 Or like, I mean, you guys know, that's being in 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.320 a position where some people might look at you as 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:47.440 one and you're just right. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.200 No, yeah, exactly, not at all. Yeah, And that's the 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.720 weird thing about celebrity. It's all in the other person's head. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.160 It doesn't actually exist as a thing. It's you can't 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:58.440 measure it or anything like that. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:08:59.840 Right, right. 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.840 And while I actually ninety eight percent of the time 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.120 really enjoy meeting folks who say, hey, I recognize you, 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.439 I just want to say I like the show. It's 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.040 because people are very nice, and you often end up 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.800 being really nice people who I enjoy chatting with the 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.280 greatest experience or experience rather to illustrate what Jack's talking 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.320 about is And this has happened many many times, will 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:27.000 meet like a super avid listener who has a friend 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.079 with them who doesn't listen, or has never heard of us, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:31.920 or was from a different part of the country or whatever. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.200 You had one person about to go to pieces and 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.040 the other like, hey, how's it going. So as yes, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.280 people have observed, fame isn't something you have, it's something 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:42.000 they have. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.439 That's a great way to put it. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.240 Yeah, and don't still it's so anybody who aspires to fame, 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.800 don't trust me when I say this. If you aspire 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.360 to have a successful business. I consider our quote unquote 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:00.200 fame just to be like an after effect of a 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:05.400 successful business. But the idea that your self image will 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.480 rise and fall based on the number of people who 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.800 think you're cool or whatever. Now you don't don't get 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:10.160 into that. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.680 The Armstrong and Getty Show, yeah, or jahn rghoe podcasts 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.760 and our hot links. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.160 It's the Armstrong and Getdy Show featuring our podcast one 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.960 more thing, download it, subscribe to it wherever you like 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:25.839 to get podcasts. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.320 So here's the serious thing I was going to do, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.480 which feels weird now, but maybe I need transition music. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.200 In my mind. Have we ever used transmission transmission music? 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.679 This is when you shift from second to third gear, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.760 transition music from silly too serious? 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.840 Can we do that, Michael?

This is a song Sam's 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.000 going to be dancing too. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:08.600 You're in the fifties when the twist was popular. Anybody 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:13.520 can twist awesome when there were dances, the monkey to swim. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.080 Anything that you just like you knew what you're supposed 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.520 to do with your hands, and it was crossy simple. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.360 Yeah, I'm not doing a good job of transitioning to 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.200 something serious. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.000 This Air Force pilot retired over the weekend who was 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.199 involved in nine to eleven. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.040 And I had never heard this story, or I had 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:31.679 and I forgot it because I can hide my own 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.600 Easter eggs. Anyway, This Air Force F sixteen pilot retired 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.720 over the weekend after forty years in the Air Force. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.880 He his job was to take out Flight ninety three, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.000 the last plane that was still in the air on 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.520 nine to eleven. And I had never heard this story 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.559 in completion. I knew that we had scrambled fighter jets 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.880 and that that was a possibility. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.760 I didn't know this. He's sixty one years old now. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.120 He was in his late thirties at the time, and 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.200 him and this other female pilot, Heather Penny, who was 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.000 twenty six at the time, were ordered to go up. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.280 This is after you know, two planes that at the 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.240 World Trade Center. One it hit the Pentagon and there 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:09.640 was another plane in the air, and we figured it 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.560 out and this had all occurred in like seconds, and 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.360 this was all happening really really fast, and they were 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.720 scrambled and told to go up and what was the 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:23.880 actual phrase, stop it? Their orders were to locate flight 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.720 ninety three and stop it. That's all they were told. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.920 So him and this other woman went up, and he 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.520 was the guy in charge, and he went up because 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.360 he didn't want to ask anybody else to do this, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.040 because he had an idea of how awful this would be. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:37.360 Oh wow. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.000 They decided him and this woman that if required, they 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.480 would hit the hijack plane with their jets, making it 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.680 a suicide mission. They were Yeah, he said that we 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.920 couldn't figure out how to it first because our fighter 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.880 jets were not armed with missiles. Oh, we did have 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.240 any weapons. We were just we just went up and 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.560 were told to stop that plane. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.840 Oh my lord. I so you hadn't heard this either. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.720 So he and this woman said they planned to ram 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.760 the front of the jetliner and he was going to 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.080 hit it from the front. She was going to hit 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.200 it from the back at the same time, flying at 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.480 you know, six hundred miles an hour, and that's what 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.800 they were going to do. But right before they were 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.400 already in the air and screaming toward the plane. Before 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.720 it happened, they got word that the plane had gone down. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.800 Because we all know, the passengers took over the plane 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.839 and it crashed into the ground and they all died. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.840 This guy, the woman was single and childless. But this 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.160 dude's I should give his name. I haven't given his 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.000 name yet, have I.

He said, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.480 training just kicked in. It all happened so fast. They 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.120 were given the order to take down the plane okay, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.480 and he talked to the woman, this is what we'll do. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.520 We'll fly into the plane, and it. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.079 Just all I'm sure it was happening very very fast.

Well, were the 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.280 flight was believed to be headed for what the White House? 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.840 That guy was going to say. They're not certain still 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.000 on that yet. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.720 There were some beliefs that it was the White House, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:34.720 some that it was the capital. 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.680 But either way it was going to be like the Capitol. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:39.760 either way it was going to be bad. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.640 Yeah, it'd be interested to know if he called his 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.360 wife prior to getting in that jet. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.000 Oh what you would say. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.080 From reading just this short description of there was no 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.560 time for that. This was a this is what's happened. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.360 There's still a flight in the air, like a run 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.960 to the plane, get in the air. 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.880 And just go and go.
