There's a call 137 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: this morning because we might get some snow, so that 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: they potentially can move up a half hour or so, 139 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 4: just to be a little bit extra cautious, but that'll 140 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: be they'll pen will make that decision this morning and 141 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: they'll go from there. 142 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not just a little snow they're talking about. 143 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: We're getting buried. 144 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: I know, I can't stand twenty inches. 145 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: You just stood your field days just told me. So. 146 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: It's been a thing because you had to give his 147 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: baseball field clear. So we had this nasty storm about 148 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: a month ago and snow still been there, just hasn't left. 149 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: It's just been nice up until like this past week. 150 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: So you had to get someone to clean your baseball field. 151 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we had to look in you know, we have 152 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: a bunch of turf field and t we're very lucky 153 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: to have you know, the space. But you know, with 154 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: the cold temperature, to snow dink go anywhere. So we 155 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: had to figure out a way to get field plowed 156 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: in a safe way to not hurt the field. So 157 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 4: we did a lot of research. We found some companies 158 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: that specialize in it with you know, certain type of 159 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: rubber plows and certain tires that can go over the field. 160 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 4: So we're able to uh to plow it and so 161 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 4: we got them cleared.

All right, tons to talk about, 190 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: I got to talk about something you and I had 191 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 3: not talked about. But I got to bring this up 192 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: because it's crazy story. So I want to lead with 193 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: we're gonna get the highest state in a minute. But man, 194 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 3: oh man, the Phillies signed an eleven year old from Venezuela, 195 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: gave him one point eight million dollars as a saus ye. 196 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: So you see this in middle league baseball with kids 197 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 3: around the world, so obviously Latin America, where you know 198 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: they have their allotment to spend on foreign players and 199 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 3: they love locking in because they're basically free agents, right 200 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: like the Latin kids are free agents. They're not drafted. 201 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: So you know, as you got feign dollars to spend. 202 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 3: So the Phillies locked up an eleven year old, which 203 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: can I just tell you, as so someone that lives 204 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: in the eleven year old eleven twelve year old world, 205 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 3: that's ridiculous. 206 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: I don't care how good the kid is. 207 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 3: Like I there's a kid that I've seen, and I'm 208 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: sure there's one in every you know region, right, Like, 209 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: there's a kid who's the best kid I saw in 210 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: our tri state area who's and then. 211 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: The kids don't believe he's big. 212 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 3: His lefty, it's got great power, plays every position, and 213 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: like the kid, Like I like, I could see this 214 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 3: kid if I was a college I would certainly look 215 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: at him right like, he's got that kind of he 216 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: just looked. He just kind of looks prodigy, like almost 217 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: like Harper was when Brikes was grown up in Las Vegas. 218 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: Bryce Harper was like, you know, everybody knew that this 219 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 3: kid was going to be a star. 220 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 221 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: Uh but eleven, dude, I can't imagine spending that kind 222 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: of money on eleven year old. 223 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy. I mean to the Philly point, I think, 224 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: like you said, there is foreign dollars you have to spend, 225 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 4: so I think they're just trying to get in early. 226 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 4: But I mean it's seven years away from him being 227 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 4: you know, able to get really part of our minor 228 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 4: league system, right, so you're really taking a shot on someone. 229 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 4: You have to see something that makes him so unique 230 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 4: and so talented. But yeah, I never thought we'd see that. 231 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 4: You see it in a young teenage years, you see 232 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 4: hits fourteen, fifteen. Yeah, but eleven is why I think 233 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 4: it's ridiculous. 234 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: Not because you're you know, you're trying to you know, 235 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: the money or anything like that. It's ridiculous because it's 236 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: impossible to tell an eleven year old. 237 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: Like my advice to travel parents, if. 238 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: You're if you're on, if you're in a little field, 239 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to take the twelve year 240 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: old season and go places, all right, Like that's a 241 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 3: fun thing for the kids, but. 242 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 2: None of it matters.

When you got competition in your backyard, 253 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: there's no need to do that, oh for sure. 254 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 4: And these years your body's still forming, right, you don't like, 255 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 4: you've no clue that eleven year old body is going 256 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 4: to be four years right, So you have to take 257 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 4: care of the body you don't. It's very formative years 258 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 4: for your body and its development.

And I mean he also said 390 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 4: an article that only about you know, five to six 391 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: schools in the country that can play at this level 392 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: in terms of nil and continue to do it. Right, 393 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 4: we see these schools running a massive deficits and this 394 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 4: Ohio state who's bringing in so much money because you know, 395 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 4: they're at part of the college football playoffs every year 396 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: and they're generating you know, a lot of money back 397 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 4: into the program. But for you know, one of the 398 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 4: athletic departments who you know, he oversees that and you 399 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 4: know the school they're dumping in three hundred million a year, right, 400 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 4: and they're doing sixty million in the football right. So 401 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: he just says, like, it's not sustainable unless the model changes. 402 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 4: And it's kind of comes back to what we we've 403 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 4: been talking about, is like, who's you want to step 404 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: in and really try to wrangle this in and you know, 405 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: bring some stability and some you know, more structure to 406 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: this world because it's not sustainable. And that's a concern 407 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 4: when you know these guys are coming out, you think, 408 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 4: you know who are the most you know, a big 409 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 4: advantage and who are the most comfortable in it. They're 410 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 4: saying it's not sustainable, so it's kind of crazy. But 411 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 4: I think he's right, and we'll just the clocks on 412 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 4: Congress to see when they're going to kind of step 413 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 4: in and try to put some parameters on this. 414 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: Right. I know they're you know, they're a little busy 415 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: right now. 416 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, they a lot going on in the world. 417 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, they need to worry about prosecuting creeps is 418 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: what they need to worry about. Yeah, I gotta tell you, 419 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 3: I don't know what to do when it comes to this, 420 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: to be honest with you, because there needs to be 421 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 3: a model in place, like revenue sharing needs to be 422 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: a part of it, but just the spending of the 423 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: they're gonna have to privatize it. I don't see anywhere 424 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: anyone else around it because like you can't. But he's right, 425 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 3: Like you have a high state, you got Michigan, you 426 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 3: got you know, al Bama, a couple other schools, right 427 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: that's got you know, USC maybe and Oregon, Oregon for sure, 428 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 3: because they're liking money. Uh, you know, you have all 429 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: that stuff. But the real issue is you know, like 430 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: look at like Penn State, Like I mem people Penn 431 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: State very well, they can't afford. 432 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 2: This Penn State, right, the huge state in the country. 433 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: They can't afford to run this. 434 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, they run a big deficit because you know, 435 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 4: they want to be the top. And like we've said before, 436 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 4: if you're not in that, you know, if you're not 437 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 4: making a run and you're not in the mix for 438 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 4: the college football playoff, but you're dumping in the money 439 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 4: like everybody else is, you're losing money, man, And how 440 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: do you how do you get out of this hole 441 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 4: that they're putting themselves in.

You don't do what you're going to 510 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 4: what you're supposed to do, we're taking the money. 511 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: Back and the money goes to the collective. 512 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes back into what they can spend. But 513 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 4: the question is people. The argument is people are saying, hey, well, 514 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 4: they're technically non employees. How are you going to find them? Right, 515 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 4: they're they're you know, they're contractors, they're ten, they're you know, they're. 516 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 3: Not yet can't you say?

I like that he's doing that, and 523 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 4: I think other schools will follow. But just because you 524 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 4: know how publicized and you know, yeah big he is, 525 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 4: it got a lot of attention, and uh yeah, I'm 526 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 4: interested to see how it plays out, man. I mean 527 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 4: I want to see how many kids get fined and 528 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 4: you know, how how they react to it, or you know, 529 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 4: how much actually comes back in from what they've paid 530 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: out this season. 531 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 3: So I'm like it begs the question that you know, 532 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 3: you're not talking about NFL types, right, so you're talking 533 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: about you know kid that's getting I don't want to 534 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: say one hundred thousand, and you're going to find. 535 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: And you know he's gonna owe you. 536 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: Twenty five hundred for a misspractice or a misconditioning thing 537 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 3: or whatever it is. 538 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you really seeing that, Mandy? Is you writing your check? 539 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: Is he? Vano and Dion? 540 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't. They didn't really talk about how 541 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 4: he plans on collecting it, or maybe they just withhold 542 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 4: it because a lot of these kids are paid uh monthly, 543 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 4: so maybe aducked it on your next month salary. But yeah, 544 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 4: I like the accountability of it. I like saying, hey, 545 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 4: this is a job, right, we're paying you. You have 546 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 4: a job. This is what comes with it, Like. 547 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: Piece of it is good, like that piece of it 548 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 3: is is right, like you should you should have that 549 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: kind of respect, you know. 550 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, So like compliance departments are going to have to 551 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: expand you know, oversight's going to continue to increase, enforcement 552 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: is going to become more organized. So again we're trending 553 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 4: towards them being full employees. We just haven't gone there yet. 554 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 4: And I think, you know, just because there's a lot 555 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 4: of red tape around that that word and what comes 556 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 4: with it. So I'm interested to see again how this happens. 557 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 4: And you know, Dion is you know, just kind of 558 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: like what Carter like saying, we need guardrails, we need 559 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 4: we need structure, we need parameters, let's let's figure this 560 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 4: out on that side of things. You know. 561 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Carter effects crazy too, Like you know, I mean, 562 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: it really is nuts. 563 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: Hey did you see. 564 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: Also that a judge in Tennessee denied Joey Aguilar another 565 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: year events of Elgibra. 566 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I did again. So there's so many court decisions 567 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 4: and there's so many president being started and then like 568 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 4: it's never final, they just appeal to another power. So 569 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: it's continuing to evolve. It's so tied up in the 570 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 4: court world right now, in the court system. So you know, 571 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 4: we're dealing with these cases every week. It seems like 572 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 4: the case a new case that someone's bringing to you know, 573 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 4: try to get eligibility and try to get that extra year. 574 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: Well here's what happened. 575 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: Aguilar and roles at San Francisco City College in twenty nineteen, 576 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 3: where he red shirted. The following year, his season was 577 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: canceled due to the pandemic. 578 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: Aguilar played twenty one to twenty. 579 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 3: Two at Diablo Valley Community College, then transferred to Appalachian State. 580 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: University, where he played two seasons. 581 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 3: He won eligibility to play a fifth year in twenty 582 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: twenty five. Diego Pavia wanted a preliterary injunction. So that's 583 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: how he got it last year. Because the NCAA only 584 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: give a one year waiver, Aguilar is technically out of eligibility. 585 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: Now here's the question, and this is where I would 586 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 3: vote in favor of the kid. You play Diablo Valley. 587 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, it's community college. Yeah, I agree, 588 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 3: you gotta give that you got you gotta be able 589 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: to waive those two years. 590 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think people don't. They see it black and white, 591 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 4: and I think every case is different, right, Like this 592 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 4: is the unique case. And you know, technically when you 593 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 4: start the community college, that starts your clock and that's 594 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: what they stick to it. But I think you should 595 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 4: evaluate case by case and really understand the situation and 596 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 4: understand where they are. But some judges might not be 597 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 4: you know, hip to the sports world. They just see 598 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 4: it as black and white and saying, hey, your clock started, 599 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 4: this is it? You know these are year years. 600 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but this is where like the judge 601 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: has to be up on Diablo Valley and go, you know, 602 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 3: it's a community college. 603 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: You can't penalize the kid. I mean the kids climbing 604 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: a lettle. 605 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 3: Wrong, and now especially now because so much is in 606 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 3: the portal, right, like you know, high school kids are 607 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 3: getting the shirt out of the stick because you're not 608 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 3: getting recruited because everybody wants to be older and go 609 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: into the portal. 610 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: Well, then you got to work with them. 611 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I agree, and I'm I'm on this 612 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 4: with you, and I think again, having knowledge and understanding 613 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 4: of each situation and understanding where they're coming from is 614 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 4: really important. And you might not get that with judges, right, 615 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 4: and you're rolling the dice, and I'm sure they'll be 616 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: an appeal and you know, there'll be more precedents set 617 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: every every week there's something new, like we're gonna touch 618 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 4: on probably after the break is you know there's another 619 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 4: kid that's in the mix right now that is you know, 620 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 4: another twenty five year old that's my age.
