The easy thing for me 91 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 6: to do is to read off his stats, but I 92 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 6: really want to talk about the player that he is 93 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 6: and what he brings to New York. When I played 94 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 6: in my career, former players would come back and they 95 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 6: would ask us what type of player he was, and 96 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 6: I learned that from a very young age that's all 97 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 6: guys care about when they come back, and in this game, 98 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 6: you have to respect the hierarchy. 99 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: That did it before you. 100 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 6: So now I'm a former player, I asked Judge what 101 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 6: kind of player guys are, and talking to him all 102 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 6: the time has been is just it's awesome. But the 103 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 6: type of man he is is he's been. He's the 104 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 6: most special person I've ever been around. And it starts 105 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 6: with his parents, Patty and Wayne. You guys have done 106 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 6: such an amazing job raising such a wonderful son and 107 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 6: getting to know you, guys. Our families are close. It's 108 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 6: been amazing and Sam without you and getting to know 109 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 6: you over all these years without you, Aaron is not 110 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 6: a three time MVP, and I mean that sincerely. You 111 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 6: are such a rock for him and what you bring 112 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 6: your steady presence is amazing and it's been so amazing 113 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 6: to see them welcome Nora almost a year old now 114 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 6: on the twenty seventh, and them become parents and Aaron, 115 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 6: you becoming a dad has been amazing. We've kind of 116 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: going through fatherhood at the same time. So and we 117 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 6: can't forget Penny and Gusts too. Playing in New York 118 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 6: is different, as everyone knows that when you put the 119 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 6: pinstripes on, you're gonna have good times, You're gonna have 120 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 6: pad times and they get heavy at times, and a 121 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 6: lot of great players, a lot of great history in 122 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 6: the New York Yankees organization, and right behind me, who's 123 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 6: about to accept his award is arguably the greatest to 124 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 6: ever put on the pinstripes, and his career the best 125 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 6: is you have to come in his career. The lights 126 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 6: shine brighter, the pressure is heavier, every moment is magnified, 127 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 6: and not everyone's built for this stage. You've seen a 128 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 6: lot of guys fold under these big lights. And what 129 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 6: he does every day with his selfless leadership is something 130 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 6: that I admire. I admired I admired it from Afar 131 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: and then when I got to play with him here, 132 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 6: it's the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed. He pours 133 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 6: more into his teammates than anyone I've ever seen. And 134 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 6: when you're a superstar in this game, you have to 135 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 6: be very, very selfish. Tearcraft and the fact that he 136 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 6: can make everyone from all around the world, from Latin America, 137 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: from Japan, anywhere, you name it. 138 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 5: We're all together in this. 139 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 6: Clubhouse for one hundred and sixty two games, more than 140 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 6: we see our families. And anytime you have an interaction 141 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 6: with Aaron Judge, he makes you feel like you're the 142 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 6: biggest person in the room. And that's such a special 143 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 6: feat to have as a superstar in this game. And 144 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 6: Aaron never changed because what you do for this game 145 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 6: is amazing. Everyone at Yankee Stadium, the parking tendance, we 146 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 6: walk out to the bus people saying hi to him. 147 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: It's it's the most amazing thing. 148 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 6: He's a rock star everywhere he goes and he's not 149 00:08:50,559 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 6: hiding from anyone. He's six seven eighty two seventy. 150 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: And anyone he meets, their day is better after meeting 151 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: Aaron Judge. 152 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 6: And when you show up to the park in June, July, August, 153 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 6: when you're grinding, some little kid got tickets and is 154 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 6: excited to see number ninety nine play, and every single 155 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 6: day he takes pride and going out there and making 156 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 6: sure that little kid or that family's having their first experience, 157 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 6: make sure he sees him play and is at his best. 158 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,239 Speaker 6: He's always learning, he's always trying to get better. He's 159 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 6: never ever satisfied. And whether he's four for four or 160 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 6: oh for four, it's the most import I've never seen 161 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: someone stay so steady. 162 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 5: I used to say, yeah, I would be that. 163 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Way too. 164 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 6: If I hit all these home runs and did all 165 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 6: this stuff. But the superstars they go through their own 166 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 6: grind and they struggle a lot more than people think. 167 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 6: And the way you handle everything on this stage is 168 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 6: just absolutely incredible. 169 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 5: All the trainers that are in there every day in. 170 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 6: The clubhouse, the bus rides, the plane rides, the hotels, 171 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 6: everything off the field to build people up is what 172 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 6: makes Aaron so special. Your stats are amazing. I think 173 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 6: I'll speak for him, because I know he won't. I 174 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 6: think the ones he's probably most proud of is that 175 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 6: three thirty one average. There's no cheap hits there to 176 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 6: win a batting title. Being this big, there's no infield hits. 177 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 6: These are all hits the hard way, as we say, 178 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 6: and the pitching is only getting better. Runs scored. I 179 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 6: think it was over one thirty this year in RBIs. 180 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 6: That's how he contributes to his teammates because at the 181 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 6: end of the day, his most important statu is a 182 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 6: win at the end of the day. And that's the 183 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 6: most gratifying thing about him is that's all he cares about, 184 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 6: is winning baseball games. 185 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 5: Tonight we honor an MVP season. 186 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 6: But this room really knows is that baseball is better 187 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 6: because Aaron Judge is in it. 188 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: So ladies and. 189 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 6: Gentlemen, please stand up, give him around of applause for 190 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 6: your captain of the New York Yankees, the King of 191 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 6: New York, Aaron Judge. 192 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: Thank you, guys, Thank you Riz. 193 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,359 Speaker 7: That's a lot of great stuff there, man, it was incredible. 194 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: No cheap hits. 195 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 8: Man. 196 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 7: I'm working on my speed.

So I'm watch his routine, how he takes 206 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 7: around balls in the cage, and then I fast forward 207 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 7: to literally right before the game. I'm kind of watching 208 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 7: how does he prepare? Is a weight room? Is it 209 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 7: something that in the in the cage? And I see 210 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 7: him he throws on his UNI, you know, filling it out, 211 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 7: and he just does one of these and one of 212 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 7: these and he just runs out. 213 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 3: There and I'm like, all right, maybe maybe I missed something. 214 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 7: And he goes out there first at bet hits a 215 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 7: home run in Miami, four under and fifty feet to right, 216 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 7: and I was like, I think I'm doing this all wrong. 217 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 7: He got he's got this figured out.

So 365 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 9: the early mornings, the long drives, the tough conversations that 366 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 9: we've had, and the constant support.

So thank 369 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 9: you to my teammates. This is a team game. This 370 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 9: this game is impossible to do alone. You you make 371 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 9: me better with the work that you do every day 372 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 9: and playing with me for one hundred and sixty two games. 373 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 9: My biggest goal every day is for my work to 374 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 9: make you all better the same way that you make 375 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 9: me better.

Let's let's 383 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 9: keep pushing. Obviously, there's been some time since I won 384 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 9: the award and now so I've had some time to think, 385 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 9: and with this being the Baseball Writers Association of America's event, 386 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 9: I've had some time to think about what what writers 387 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 9: mean to this game and what they meant to me. 388 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 9: They have a very interesting job. They come into the 389 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 9: clubhouse every day and ask you questions whether you played 390 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 9: well or poorly, and a lot of the times they 391 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 9: ask you questions that make you think about yourself. And 392 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 9: one thing that I've thought about a fair amount, but 393 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 9: you know, based on some of the questions they've asked me, 394 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 9: is what I would want to say to the young 395 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 9: players and the fans out there, and so whoever's watching, 396 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 9: I want to say this, no matter where you come from, 397 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 9: no matter how long the road feels, no matter how 398 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 9: many times you hear not yet or not possible, keep going, 399 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 9: bet on your work, trust the process, and don't let 400 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 9: anyone else defind your ceiling. I'm here right now because 401 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 9: I don't understand the word can't thank you all. This 402 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 9: is an honor that I'll never forget. 403 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 10: First, I'll like to congratulate everyone up on the DAIS 404 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 10: for a Grade twenty twenty five season, and I also 405 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 10: like to thank the New York Chapter, the BBWAA for 406 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 10: giving me this opportunity, and to just guy that I've 407 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 10: had the pleasure of. 408 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 3: Coaching for the last five years. Trek Scrugle. 409 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 10: By this point, the world knows about the tall lefty 410 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 10: that grew up in a small town in Arizona, had 411 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 10: one scholarship offer out of high school. I got drafted 412 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 10: in the ninth round because he had Tommy John the 413 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 10: year before, and then made his major league debut in 414 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 10: twenty twenty with no fans in the stands. Nothing was 415 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 10: given to Terrek. He has earned everything he's been given 416 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 10: in this game, and his work ethic at second to 417 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 10: nine with a personality to match. 418 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: As a coach. 419 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 10: The best kind of cultures are player led, and when 420 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 10: your best players are your hardest workers, it holds everyone accountable. 421 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 10: We're fortunate Jeff Terrek as an example for our clubhouse. 422 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 10: He embodies ajas saying of everything matters. He's worked his 423 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 10: way from a hard thrower he put up one hundred 424 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 10: pitches through just four innings to the best strike artist 425 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 10: in our game. Efficiency in both the delivery and pitch count, 426 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 10: refining pitches, game planning, holding the running game, PFP's sleep recovery. 427 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 10: Everything matters to him, and that is rubbed off on 428 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 10: our entire staff. He cares about people, his teammates, his family, 429 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 10: and winning. The Detroit media probably gets tired with his 430 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 10: answers post game, but it will always come back to 431 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 10: whether he gave his team a chance to win. You know, 432 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 10: it would be easy for him to be boastful, conceded, 433 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 10: or have his personality change with these last two awards. 434 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 10: That's just not in his DNA. He's the first to 435 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 10: deflect credit and spread praise to his teammates, usually his catchers. 436 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 10: Little story here for. 437 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 1: Those that may not know. 438 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 10: Jake Rogers, one of our catchers, caught him every single 439 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 10: one of his stars in twenty four, caught the first 440 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 10: few this year and then pulled an obleak an hour 441 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 10: before a game, and that thrust our young you know 442 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 10: now gold Glover Dylan Dingler, who was a rookie at 443 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 10: the time. He got thrust in catching School and out 444 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 10: before the game. He's never caught School in a regular 445 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 10: season game. You see the anxiousness in Ding's face having 446 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 10: never caught him, and he you know Scoob and his 447 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 10: tiple fashion quick quip he said, you know these hitters, Dan, right, 448 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 10: you know how I pitch. If I get crushed, then 449 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 10: I'm probably missing my spot, all right. But if I'm 450 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 10: hitting my spot and I get crushed, you're calling the 451 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 10: wrong pitches and that you know. He let that out 452 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 10: with a tip of scoob belly laugh, and he did 453 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 10: not care about himself in that moment. He was just 454 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 10: worried about ding and whatever takes to take the fresh 455 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 10: off Dan. It's a little microcosmos who Schooble is. 456 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 3: And there's no. 457 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 10: Surprise that has his career and performance have taken off. 458 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 10: So there's our teams. He's led us to back to 459 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 10: back posters in verse and he has reinvigorated a great 460 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 10: baseball city in Detroit. And we're so thrilled to have 461 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 10: him as a part of the Tire organization as as 462 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 10: Terrek has been the last two years. Can you believe 463 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 10: he's done with two boys that are two years old. 464 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 10: His wife Jess is a saint and so is Trek. 465 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 10: Though he makes sure that family is a big part 466 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 10: of his life, and we will be the best example 467 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 10: for his two young sons. I know our other assistant 468 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 10: pitching coaches one and Robin will bat me up here. 469 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 10: But Terrek, thank you for letting us coach. You. You 470 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 10: challenge us daily and it made us better in the process. 471 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 10: And finally, there have been many records and milestones made 472 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 10: by Terry the last two years, a lot of stats, 473 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 10: but I thought this one put it really into perspective. 474 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 10: In the history of the game, there have been twenty 475 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 10: three pitchers to win multiple Cy Youngs. There have been 476 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 10: twelve of those to when I'm back to back years. 477 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 10: Four of those were lefties.

And 483 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 11: it's not because of what you guys think. It's because 484 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 11: his height doesn't He makes me feel pretty small when 485 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 11: I'm out there, and I don't like feeling. 486 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: Small when I'm on the mountain. 487 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 3: But thank you for everything, seriously, thank you, and good evening. 488 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 11: First off, I'd like to express what an incredible privilege 489 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 11: it is to share the stage with the caliber of 490 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 11: players up here tonight. 491 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm humbled to be a part of this group. 492 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 11: I know the greatness from everyone up here is part 493 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 11: of what pushes me to be the best version of 494 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 11: myself every time I take them ound.
