I heard him worrying 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.560 about hitting a new a new milestone there. But he's 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:46.679 still got a lot of youth left in. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:47.240 Yeah, you know. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.120 It's We've talked about this with him, Like when do 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.080 you start feeling old? I don't think you start feeling 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.560 old at thirty. 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.280 I don't think thirty is it. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:03.000 I think forty is the age where you go, oh okay, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.640 like here we are, and then I think when you 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.320 get to be like forty two, things start to hurt 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.160 more when you fall down or like you wake up 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.480 just with a pain like somewhere. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.160 So I think, thirty, you still got you still got. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.720 A bunch of time. Now in Kentucky people age like quicker, 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.280 like people get married at like twenty four and twenty five, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.480 So I think sometimes there's. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.040 A pressure to get married and stuff. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.040 But what happened to you? 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.840 And I'm mad, Well, we skipped it. There comes a point. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.680 Oh, there comes a point where you miss it for 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:33.560 so long, Shannon. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.359 Then people start to go, well that's wrong. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.920 They look you, what's wrong with you? Boy? 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.760 You get to be forty. Here's what happened. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.880 They either decide he's like a perpetual bachelor or they 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:48.440 think you're gay. Like, no, those are the things that happen. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.280 That's my life. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.680 I mean, like I remember when I was thinking about 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.200 running for congress. We I had this political consultant and 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.640 they said, if you run, you know there's going to 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.000 be one of two narratives, which is either that you 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.840 date everybody or that you're gay. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.320 And I went, well, neither of those is exactly true, 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:12.359 but at all true. But that's the way Ryan, it happens. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.200 You know. I still don't feel like I'm on the opposite. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.040 You get in a relationship every moment, I am not 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.079 not a moment you've ever been single. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.440 Her little ladies won't leave him alone. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.600 That's like you. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.400 Literally, when's the last time you've had a month of 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.120 just complete singleality? 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.760 Well, I mean it was divorced, not did too long ago? 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.080 Yeah, but it started quick if it. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.880 Was longer than a month, a. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.720 Month and a half, I mean you you just like 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.520 being in relationships, is my point. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.640 Why not if you find somebody who enjoy being around? 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:43.040 Why not? 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.560 And like I do not I'm fifty eight. I don't 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:46.920 feel like I'm fifty eight. I don't feel like I'm 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.760 old yet, so I feel. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.600 Like you're fifty eight. No, I really don't actually feel 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:53.320 like you're fifty eight. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.680 You don't act like I don't feel fifty eight. So anyway, 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.240 happy birthday to Billy who's now thirty. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:59.400 So thirty years old. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.440 Mario remains the last one, and then you're twenty five, right, 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.280 twenty child babies young. I spoke at UK yesterday and 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.040 it was to a group of people, almost all of 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:15.360 which were like graduating seniors, and it's just it's amazing 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.320 to listen to them, like ask questions about and when 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.680 I talk about how KSR started with them, they don't know, 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.960 like they're like blogs, you know what I mean, Like 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.839 they don't even that's not almost even a word. Like 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.839 they don't even see KSR the website as a blog. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.200 They see it like just as that's what sites are, 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.320 you know what I'm saying, Like they don't that. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.480 I don't even know if they use that terminology really anymore. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.800 So what are they more like doing the vlog video blogs? 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.000 I just think they see it as a website. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.200 They don't see it as like I just don't think 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.720 people use that phrase blog. They're like, it's Kentucky Sports 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:55.839 Radio dot com. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:56.960 Because if you think. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.400 About it, if you were to go to the Herald 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.560 Leader right now or to see it doesn't look any 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.560 different than our site. I mean, it's it's all kind 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.920 of the same now to to these to especially younger people. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.640 Yeah, I mean when KSR first came around of something 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.520 a little different, it was very long for people were like, WHOA, 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:13.600 what is this thing going on? 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:14.000 Now? 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.720 It all kind of looks the same, Like you're saying, 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.919 everybody's got the headlines all the. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.080 Stuff that The Herald Leader used to get on me 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.120 about they do worse. Like I have to tell you, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.000 I hate the Harald Leader's Twitter account more than anything 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.400 on earth. I hate it. I hate it. Whoever's in 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.159 charge of it, I don't like you. And I'm sure 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.880 you're being told that you have to do it. But 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:36.880 there'll be a headline that. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.560 Says popular restaurant shockingly closes. You think that's not in 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.000 our area? Oh no, is it mine? Like? What? What? What? 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.560 What is the popular restaurant that shockingly closed? And it'll 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:51.960 literally be in like Bozeman, Montana. And I get really 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.120 really angry at them. Why why is this a headline 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.160 in the Lexington newspaper? 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.359 And it's clearly because it worked. I clicked on. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.360 It gets every day, you know. Sometimes it might be 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.640 a car accident or something tragic. I'm like, oh, that's awful. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.599 Is that local? No? Seattle Washington? 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.599 Like, well, why are you telling me about? 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.120 But I don't need to know about what's going on there. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.880 I'm looking for local. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.359 I mean, when the when the restaurant shockingly closed and 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:13.440 it was in Montana. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.200 I I almost filed a complain. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.160 Remember the Lexingon's oldest restaurant closed and it was the 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.240 Arby's on That was the headliner. I was thinking, Oh 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.640 my goodness, we're losing an icon. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.680 No just Arby's anyway. So that's what's on my mind. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.960 It is, uh, it is Derby Week Thursday. Uh. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.360 I last night tried to figure out if I had 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.240 something to wear that see back when we used to 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.599 go to Oaks and Derby. I've lost weight since then, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.119 so all those jackets and stuff, they don't they don't fit. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.479 So I'm just gonna be walking around in a monster 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.359 jacket tomorrow. So if you see that, you go, well, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.400 he's it looks like he's wearing his dad's jacket. That's 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.280 what That's what it's gonna look like. Unfortunately, but go 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.000 to your place. Is in little too late. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:55.560 You can't. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.640 I mean you you cannot buy clothes in Louisville, Kentucky 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.680 two weeks before the Derby, like it's all it's all gone, 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.240 Like people start. People in Louisville are weird, Shannon. They 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.160 start playing their Derby out like February, you. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.840 Know, and yeah, you forget about it right now they are. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.560 Try to go there, they're swamped and like if you 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.920 go if I were to go into a store, that 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.040 sells suits. Now they would just tell me to go 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.000 away like they're not They're not going to do anything. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.000 So we have a thirty two long if you would 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:24.360 like that. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.120 Yeah, exactly. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.520 So today is Thirby Wins.

You know, 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.720 I've got friends I'm seeing on social media it looks 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.000 like they're already at the Kentucky Derby. I mean, these 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.160 Monday Tuesday Wednesday events have gotten so big. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.840 Shannon's wrestling down on the waterfront tonight down on. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.240 The OVW's down the water front. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.600 I mean the reality is if you, and people who 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.880 live there know if you want to get any work 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.239 done in Louisville, just forget it this week. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:28.600 I mean, it's just not happening. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.920 I was talking to my accountant and he was like, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.760 I've actually got some time because no one's in the office. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.960 Like Louisville takes the whole week off. It's not even 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.960 It's like they don't even contemplate working. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.320 So what is it considered now?

Now Oaks is crazy expensive. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.280 So basically they're like in a few weeks, in a 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.080 few years, they're going to have you three weeks before 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.840 you on Easter and say that's it. Well, yesterday John 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.720 Rothstein had a long scheduled interview, I guess with Mark Pope, 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.880 and so I watched a little bit of it and 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.960 he actually said some news. So you tell me, Drew, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.440 as we go through here, what of these things interest you? 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:19.920 Okay? 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.760 Mark Pope says that the job, the Kentucky job, is 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.640 what he thought, but even more demanding. The fan base 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.160 is not only crazy, they know everything you're doing on. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.400 A daily basis. Do you agree with that. I do. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.000 I like that part he said, I'll wake up in 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.319 the morning and fans already know what I'm gonna do 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.559 that day before I've even done it, And sometimes before 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.120 I even know what I'm doing. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.200 We do, that's right. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.160 I mean when he first got here, I think you 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.400 mentioned that, you know he's taken, He's going out to 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.640 eat at Harry's, and we have pictures online within seconds, 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.439 or whatever he's doing in town, whoever's in town at 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.520 the airport. I think he was overwhelmed right away because 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.000 when he was here in the early nineties, that wasn't 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.680 really a thing. But we the fan base, was on 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.000 every move he made the second he started the job. 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.120 I'm glad he knows that because that's just what it's 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.240 gonna be. That's right, you know, and that's not gonna change. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.680 He then said, and I like this, Ryan, that he 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.360 loved being a head coach right now because college basketball 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.120 could go twelve different ways, and they have mapped out 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:21.640 models for each potential future of college basketball, and they 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.280 have a plan for whatever happens when it happened. 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.640 Isn't that amazing? I love that. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.720 That's amazing. That was my favorite part of it because 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.880 that's what you're gonna have to do. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.320 You can see. You can sit there and complain about history, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.840 or you can try to make it work. It's right. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.640 And so many of the older coaches are like they're 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.120 tapping out, they don't want to be a part of this, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.360 and then Mark like embracing it and wanting to be 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.320 a part of this ride. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:41.360 So that was amazing. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.240 He said it for each different avenue that the basketball 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.000 could go, they're ready for it. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.040 He asked what Mark Pope was looking for in the portal, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.920 not just this year, but in general, and he said, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.400 shooting is important, but the most important thing is being 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.320 a decider. Decider that's his phrase, which is when you 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.920 get the ball, you do quickly side what you're gonna 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.640 do for the bigs. That might mean passing for guys 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.960 that might be shooting whatever it is. I need guys 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.800 who are ready to make quick decisions. Did you like that? 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.680 I like that. Not to get too far down your list, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.760 But in that same point he talked about how coaching guys, 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.840 there's so much that they're just gonna do on their own, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.320 and he expects big jumps from guys. You already retained, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.319 already known and gone through it, guy like Brandon Garrison. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.920 He mentioned so a lot of player empowerment and their 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:26.520 decision making. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.840 He says he's gonna get one or two more people. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.400 I heard that they could be red shirt asque, but 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.480 one or two more people, including potentially from Europe. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.120 So that means the roster's. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.400 Not there, and that would make sense why he was 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.240 looking at that guy from Miami, you know, one guy 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.560 that maybe could come in be act like a quote 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:44.079 red shirt. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.040 But he felt like his twelve is his twelve. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.120 And he said, he said, we're gonna play all twelve. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.079 We're gonna play them all. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.360 Yeah. I don't know if you I don't know if 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:53.840 I've ever seen that play in twelve, But. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.200 I don't know if you can do that. I mean, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.800 you can do it sometimes, but you can't do it. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.800 Regularly right, certainly not as year goes on you get 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.560 to tournament. Even when cal platooned, he tied it up 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.240 a little bit for the postseason. He did say the 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.480 twelve he has already owned all the minutes on the floor, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.400 so he either wants a red shirt or someone who's 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.719 a last year player that just wants to wear the 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.160 Kentucky jersey and be part of that experience. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:15.200 He said. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.640 Jaden Quaintance is going is gonna be great, says he 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.920 can already beat Mark Popit chess, which sounds impressive Shannon, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.560 until we know did Mark even know the rules of chess? 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:27.040 Right? 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.680 Mark likes to play chess though, because he. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.079 If he likes to play chess, if this seventeen year old, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.480 eighteen year old has beaten him in chess, I like that. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.600 Maybe this is a very smart kid, I want to. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.360 Say, Pope. And maybe Colin Chandler had some battles throughout 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.400 the year playing chess. He's mentioned it before playing with 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:41.960 some of the players, so it might be another reason 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.600 why he and Quainton's got along so well. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.120 He said he thought Brandon Garrison and Colin Chandler were 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.160 both ready to make a massive leap. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.199 Yeah. Well, well he used to work for Brandon. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.600 Like Superstar, Superstar, Superstar Superstar, you know you want you. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.480 I'm glad to hear him say that about Brandon, who 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.199 did kind of make a jump at time last year 0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.200 in the second half of the season. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.920 We take it. Definitely did throughout the season, he said. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:06.200 Jalen Lowe he's gonna quote unleash him, said he plays 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:11.160 herky jerky like Shay Gilgess Alexander. His change of direction 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.839 is elite, elite, and he plans on unleashing him to 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:15.400 be a star. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.400 I think that means we're gonna see that dude shoot 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.320 a lot. Yeah. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.160 They really liked him in the fit and how he 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.280 has a pace of play. Pope basically said, we're just 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.720 gonna let him go fast, fast, fast. Even compared him 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.280 to an elite level tail back in football. How he 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.840 can change direction and get around. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.040 Yeah, well that was exciting. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.760 And then finally on Denzel, Aberdeen said, when they found 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.720 out he was available, they didn't even need to look 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.120 at an evaluation because when they prepped for the Florida game, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.679 they saw a guy coming off the bench that was terrifying. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.520 And he said, we didn't even need to look I 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.640 knew we wanted him immediately. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.440 Yeah, the guy obviously in the National Championship game, he 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.440 played the last five minutes of the game for Florida, 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.600 So obviously he's that type of player that can play 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:58.680 in his championship situation. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.400 So you want a guy like that in your That's 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.000 something Pope's done a lot of He did that with 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.360 the first roster. Here it's the guys he's played in games. 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.240 I mean, they played against Garrison and then you played 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.840 against Oway. Maybe even a few others that are slipping 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.520 my mind. Maybe even Kobe Braham might have had a 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.600 game against him. But he Pope likes guys that he's 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.280 already seen in competition, So. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:20.000 You know, I mean it's he has his own He's 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.080 not like cal Perry speak. He kind of has his 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.160 own Pope speak, which is a different kind of speak. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.680 But I still left that interview encouraged, and we got 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.040 a little bit of news that they're gonna get a 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:29.720 couple more players. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.760 So it sounds like they're gonna use up the whole roster. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.920 They're not gonna have another time where there's like an 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.120 eleventh and twelfth. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:35.840 Man not being used. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.000 He also, when talking about Otega, always said his future 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.880 is beautiful. He had to get a beautiful in there. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.040 He couldn't help himself. I liked a Colin Chandler facetimed 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.920 him during the interview and he just took it. Made 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.640 Colin Chandler part of the show, like John. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.760 Rothsis, Well, we are here at kas bar tell me 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.680 what you what do you think of the group next year? 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.080 Or you can extend some of you.
