Was kind of excited to get 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: the advite. It's fun to talk about these guys like 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: one more time on the way out of Michael Siner 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: was one of my favorite guys on the team last year, 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: So good way to kind of send him off to 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: the next level. 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so give us a little overview, a little profile 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: of Michael. What can we expect and maybe for those 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: fans who maybe not have kept up with Sooner Baseball, 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: what are they getting with the third baseman. 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, you know, Michael was a grad transferred Oklahoma 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: last year, so they played one year at Oklahoma. He 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: was at Washington before, you know, had a whole career, 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: you know, when he transferred Oklahoma. Obviously, any guy who's 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: making a grad transfer move, you're expecting them to have 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: a chance to have a starting job right away. Most 28 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: guys are not going to make a move for one 29 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: year if they're not feeling pretty good about where they 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: sit in terms of seeing a lot of it bats, 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: you know, one more season before moving on to the 32 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: next level. And we kind of all, you know, among 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: Oklahoma knew it would be a nice pickup. He had 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: had a nice career at washing already. Nobody was prepared 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: for the year that he was going to have. He 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: was Oklahoma's best hitter for a lot of the season. 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: This was a really good Oklahoma team this year, a 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: team that finished the season in the top ten, you know, 39 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: in the rankings, was a number nine overall seed instead 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: of instead of by tournament. He was a huge part 41 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: of it. Batt the top of the order, hit over 42 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: three fifty ops over one thousand. Started the year playing 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: a little third base, ended up playing a lot more 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: first base as the ear went on. Could easily play 45 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: either though. He's a very sure handed fielder, got a 46 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: really nice glove, end up playing a lot of first base. 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: And yeah, he just he swung one of the most 48 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: consistent sticks for Oklahoma all season and it was really 49 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 2: I mean, we all again, we all knew it was 50 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: gonna be a nice pick up a veteran guy. This 51 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: is a guy you can probably pencil and feel good 52 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: about it. And he batted right the top the order, 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: three hole, four hole, somewhere in there, cleanup and was 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: just phenomenal all season long. He's also great off the 55 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: field too. Quickly kind of became one of the leaders 56 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: of the team. He was a huge add and I'm 57 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: not sure if they have the season they did, which 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: was a great season. Oklahoma won the Big Twelve last 59 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: year for the first time in program history. He was 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: a really big part of it. And probably the funniest 61 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: little quirk of his season was that he had fourteen 62 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: steals this year, which was a solid number. Oklahoma likes 63 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 2: to be active on the base paths. In his entire 64 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: career at Washington four seasons before coming to Oklahoma, goose, 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: not one scoll a lot of fourteen steels this year. 66 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: They just turned him loose and he, you know, rewarded 67 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: that faith with fourteen steals this year. So yeah, he 68 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: had a great season. Like I said, bad over three 69 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: fifty and he was a huge part of Oklahoma's team 70 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: back again, I don't know if they do had the 71 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: year they have without him. He was a huge part 72 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: of the squad all year long. 73 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, And how would you say that coming Kim for 74 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: the back the Pac twelve now the Big twelve. Uh, 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: playing teams like Texas and Texas Tech teams like that, 76 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: teams have this kind of like infrastructure and able to 77 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: play this tech ball. How do you believe he went 78 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: when he played this tougher competition. Not to say that 79 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the conferences are different, but you know, Texas and different 80 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: teams like that. 81 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like I kind of you know, halfway said, 82 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: you know, he was one of the most consistent bats 83 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: all year. Like there really wasn't a whole lot of 84 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: drop offs. I mean kind of just the nature of baseball. 85 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: Anybody watched baseball at all knows in a length of 86 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: a season going to have peaks and valleys. But for 87 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: the most part, Michael Snyder was on almost reliable bats 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: all year. It didn't really matter home or road, quality 89 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: of opponent. You know, the stage once I got into 90 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: the postseason, you know the regionals and stuff. Okahoma hosted 91 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: the regional this year and know him for the first time. 92 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: Its twenty ten, big crowds, a lot of pressure, and 93 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: he was still great. He had a couple of really 94 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: big swings in the tournament. I remember a big home run. 95 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: Kind of can't remember which game it was, but he 96 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: had a big home run in the postseason. I know 97 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: he was really good in the big spots that he 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: didn't really shrink in the moment at all. Just a 99 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: lot of hard contact. That was kind of the main 100 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: thing you always got good at bats with with Michael Snyder. 101 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: He had a very good eye at the play. Like 102 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: I said, you don't have the ops over a thousand. 103 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: He had a really good on base, drew his walks, 104 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: things like that. So but no, he always seemed to 105 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: handle the moment in the you know, the pressure of 106 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: our big rivalry series or whatever bedl on, whatever it 107 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: is we had going on out here, always really really well. 108 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 2: And he was very mature player. And it didn't really 109 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: matter to him the moment the opponent. He kind of 110 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: was the same guy all the time, which obviously really 111 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: help you in sport like baseball. 112 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, just overlooking a little bit on 113 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: his at tweak, a little bit on the offensive part 114 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: of his game later, But I want to talk a 115 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: little bit more on his discipline. I was looking at 116 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: some of it. He had, you know, the most walks 117 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: in his entire career this season that OEU lowered his strikeout. 118 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: I went from forty three this year last year, was 119 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: at fifty six, walking twenty four last year to now 120 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: thirty six. Talk a little bit about his discipline at 121 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: the plate and maybe what some of the coaches tried 122 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: to go with him in terms of what he did 123 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: transfer to OU. 124 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's a major credit to his development 125 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: from you know, Reggie Willitts, who's the assistant head coach 126 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: out here, Who's a guy who has a lot of 127 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: MLB experience. He played in MLB for a while for 128 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: the Angels, and he was with the Yankees under Aaron 129 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: Boone as one of their bench coaches for a number 130 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: of years before making the jump back to his alma 131 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: mater Ou and he's essentially the he's the hitting coach. 132 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: He's kind of used a football term. The offensive coordinator 133 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: at Oklahoma with Skip Johnson, the head coach is pitching guru. 134 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: Reggie Willis is he draws up the lineup. He's all 135 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: offense and he has since he took over the offense. 136 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: That's when the offense really took off, you know, a 137 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: handful of years ago because of development stories like this. 138 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: You know, Michael Snyder had a nice career, a nice 139 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: you know, handful of seasons way out west there in Washington. 140 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: But you know what kind of said at the beginning 141 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: of this thing, it just took off for him this 142 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: Year's disciplined to play. Like I said, he took his walks. 143 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: He always was very within himself, you know, a big 144 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: part of Oklahoma. It's a very simple approach offensively. But 145 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: it's something they preach over and over and over is 146 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: just separate balls from strike. That's something that Skip Johnson 147 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: says until he's blue in the face. That's their mantra 148 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: when it comes to hitting is find a good pitch 149 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: and don't leave the zone. Like there. That's a huge 150 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: emphasis in their development at Oklahoma. And you saw that 151 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,119 Speaker 2: with him, Like you said, his walk numbers were great, 152 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: he really did a good job of punishing mistakes out 153 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: over the plate, driving the ball into the gaps and 154 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 2: obviously over the wall quite a bit as well. So 155 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: he his hitting approach was among the most sound on 156 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: the team. He always felt like you were going to 157 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: get a competitive, good at bat when Michael Snyder was 158 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: at the plate, which obviously he's a college players, a 159 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: little bit of an older college player going he was, 160 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: you know, he's a grad transfer, but nevertheless a college player, 161 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: you don't always get that by any means. And so 162 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: he always had very mature at bats and you could 163 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: tell that his patience and his you know, vision at 164 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: the plate was always a major strength for him. 165 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and with him, another strength I really showed up 166 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: this year was his ability to generate power. Again, stayed 167 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: with the same home run total last year, but had 168 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: the most in terms of his triples. Had three triples 169 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: this year last year only had one. Doubled his hit 170 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: from Washington to Oklahoma. What do you think was his 171 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: he in turn got that offensive power, What did he 172 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: maybe tune into to try to generate that? And maybe 173 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: you think he could play in pro ball. 174 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that vision certainly helps. Like 175 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: I said, he does a great job, but you know, 176 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: finding balls out over the play and punched them and 177 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: you know, again it kind of all works together. It's all, 178 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: you know, one thing least to another, but always being 179 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: in nice counts, you know, because he doesn't leave his 180 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: own very often, he's able to get ahead and counts 181 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: a lot, which certainly helped. And he just you know, 182 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier, but it just it seemed like 183 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: there was not very often that you had a weak 184 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: ground out for Michael Snyder or you know, a pop out. 185 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: He just had a lot of hard contact, maybe as 186 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: much consistent her contact as I've seen the length of 187 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: a season from anybody at the college Old I've personally 188 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: been around. I mean, it was just you kind of 189 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: always felt he may not get a hit every time, 190 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: certainly it's baseball, but he's gonna give you a good 191 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: at bat and he's gonna hit, He's gonna square the 192 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: ball up and we'll see what happens from there. 193 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: Uh, tell me a little bit, you transferring from you 194 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: the just what did he bring from the Huskies to 195 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma to bring that big season because he's gonna do 196 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: with me again here and with the Marlins going from 197 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: one place to another, what could those players or maybe 198 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: what did he bring from Washington to Oklahoma to the 199 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: younger guys and to the other players on the team. 200 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot. I said it a bunch of times 201 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 2: over the course of the season, just kind of what 202 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: a huge fond, what a great find he was in 203 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: the transfer portal for Oklahoma in just a million ways. 204 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he was obviously a veteran player. I talked 205 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: about the kind of the maturity he quickly became a 206 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: leader of the team. It's a team last year that 207 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: wasn't that young relative to some other Oklahoma teams. There 208 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: was many of the guys on the team had been 209 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: at least Oklahoma for you know, going to at least 210 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: their second year. A lot of guys third fourth, older guys, 211 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: and he still was quickly one of the faces leaders, 212 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: you know, of the team, tough stretches, you know, meet 213 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: the media, say the right things. You know. He was 214 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: awesome in that regard. And then obviously you know just 215 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 2: the player. I mean, he hit, like we said, over 216 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: three fifty, had power. He was really rock solid defensively. 217 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: He started the year at third base. They ended up 218 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: moving him to first base, and he was great over 219 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: there as well. I originally kind of thought, honestly, that 220 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: there was a bit of a waste to take him 221 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 2: off at third base because his glove was so good 222 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: over there. The first ten to fifteen games, it felt 223 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: like he made every play. They had other good third 224 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: base options, so they felt their best defense was to 225 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: have him at first. But then it translated over there. 226 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: He was great over at first base. I mean, he 227 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: he's a really good defender. He you know, like I said, 228 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: he was great off the field. Well, my favorite guys 229 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: to talk to on the team. He always kind of 230 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: knew that he'd gave you a very candid, honest hands, 231 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 2: but you also would always say the right thing. You know, 232 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: he's never gonna you know, coaches didn't have to worry 233 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: about him behind a mic, you know, either, So he 234 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: was really you know, I'd love to you know, not 235 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: that I would just rip him if there was true, 236 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: but there's really not a lot for me to complain 237 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: about with what he did in his one year at Oklahoma. 238 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: He was an awesome get off the field, certainly on 239 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: it playing every game. He was a huge pickup for 240 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: Oklahoma last year and he was a lot of fun 241 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 2: to watch, you know, do his work all season long. 242 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: Well, we just hit ten minute mark.
