Welcome to the Kindness Chronicles, where we hope to inject the world with a dose of the Minnesota nice that it desperately needs. We got the full crew here today. Steve, hello. Hello. KG, where are we calling you at? Uh, I'm just outside the, uh, the borders of Minnetonka. Went for a short drive to, uh, let the dogs kind of relax at home rather than Get them all riled up. They get kind of pumped when they hear the podcast starts. Yes, yes. So we're going to give them a little time alone here. That's fantastic. And, uh, so tonight Mrs. Schweitz and Kevin's special friend Chrissy are at a Twins game. Oh, what a nice night. Actually, kind of worked as an excuse to not have to go to the Twins game tonight. So I'd just like to thank my son Jack for, taking one for the team and using my ticket. Thank you, Jack. And the Twins are great and the Yankees are in town. It's a beautiful night. Don't get us wrong, but when you go to the ball game with the ladies, it's so much more than just, Hunkering down. Oh, nobody watches the game. Baseball. No, it's too much. So what is it? What's what? What's the deal? Well, the deal tonight is, so tonight it's the St. Thomas like alumni event. Got it, got it, got it. So they'll be looking for, you know, the guys fries from the class of 1990. Oh. Or in cage. Oh, I didn't even know that part of it. Kgs case 1990. It's kind of up in the air. I know. Okay. Listen, I, I don't have a different program than others. You left with a PhD, right? I left with something. I, well, I have a teaching certificate, a coaching certificate. I had all kinds of things. He's got the papers. Broadcasting. That's right. And that takes extra time. Look at him now. And you've worked your way, all the way up to being on the Kindness Chronicles. Man, things are working out for you. The pinnacle of my career. Yeah, sorry to hear that. KG, the, the Kentucky Derby was a great Kentucky Derby. What do we got coming up next in the, uh, the land of special races? Well, it's the triple crown. And so the beauty of, uh, this time for, for my favorite sport with the ponies is it, it, it all ramps back up. And it's this coming weekend, the freak mistake, which coincide ironically with our opening, uh, night of, uh, racing at Canterbury park and shock to be here on the 18th on Saturday. And mystic Dan, after that, uh, crazy, uh, finish in the Derby. Got up by a nose and uh, he'll be looking for the second jewel of the triple crown. There's a little wrinkle in this year's schedule. For years, it's always been Kentucky Derby first Saturday in May, two weeks later the Preakness, and then three weeks the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park. Well, there's a giant renovation going on at Belmont Park. They are shut down for the next two years. So the Belmont Stakes, which is always the longest race of the series at a mile and a half, is now going to be at Saratoga Racetrack in upstate New York. And it's only going to be a mile and a quarter because they don't have the facility, uh, to host a mile and a half race. So there's a little bit of an asterisk there. I think it plays to the advantage of Mr. Xanath. He can win the Preakness on Saturday. I think he's got a very good chance to do it. He's the second favorite in the, uh, in the Preakness stakes. And I'll be cheering for him, uh, as I get to work and get ready for a big night of racing this weekend out of Canterbury. Who is the favorite? A horse by the name of Moose. MUTH beat Mystic Dan in the Arkansas Derby, but is trained by Bob Baffert, and Bob Baffert is currently suspended in Kentucky. They will not let him race there for a couple years. So Bob's got a fresh oar, um, he's arguably the greatest triple crown trainer in all time history in horse racing, and now he's got this really nice race horse just sitting fresh, and all the horses are in the derby, and there's a couple of them in this race, like Mystic Dan, uh, racing on. Very short rec. So Moose is, I think it'd be a heavy favorite in the Preakness and, uh, and, and we'll take some beating. Can you take us back to one of your famous lines? I don't know if we've ever addressed it on the podcast, but your famous line about how much weight a horse loses during a race. And I don't bring this up to make fun of you. Well, that's not true. What is it? But I misspoke on Kate van years ago. Okay. We were having a little, a breakdown of the. Kentucky Derby and then looking forward to the print mistakes and having been around horse racing all my life, you know, I had heard these stories about how these horses after running in the Kentucky Derby, um, are rightfully, you know, Exhausted, right? I mean, they're three years old. It's the first time they've run this distance, big crowd, big, you know, usually sweltering heat, whatever. The horses would lose a lot of weight during these races. And now remember these race horses weigh 1, 200 pounds. Yeah. So them losing some weight, it's a little different than anybody else. The truth of the matter is. They lose between 60 and 70 pounds. And I was on K Fan with Paul Charchian, and I was excited and amped up and trying to pump up the crowd about what a big deal it'd be if this horse can come back and win the Preakness. And I said, yeah, well, these horses come out of the Derby the next day, they've lost hundreds of pounds and Charchian stopped me. It gave me a chance to recant. It's like, hold on. Did you just say a hundred? And I said, yeah, hundreds. And of course that got to the common man and the preposterous statement tournament, and of course, later that year would go on an influential run and crown me a champion. I am a, I'm on the Mount Rushmore along with, uh, Sid Hartman and Mark Rosen and listen, good company, dude. Sid Hartman, Mark Rosen, and Paul Allen's not a bad thing, but when it's something like that, it's not as much fun. But you know, to be fair, saying that they lose hundreds of pounds, I mean, but they lose 60 to 70 pounds, that's still a ridiculous That's close to 100. Yeah. Well, yeah, it was a bad, it was, yeah. In the spirit of Kindness Chronicles, I'm trying to make you feel better about it. We would have been fine with it. Well, the sad thing is, they haven't let it go. And so There's a t shirt that they had at the State Fair that just said hundreds. And then now when Common does his show, whenever they're referencing something about the word hundred or hundreds, they do the hundreds and they pause, yes, hundreds, and it's painful. It's painful. Have you had any other Preposterous comments that have made it, uh, Yogi Berra era. Uh, you know, we didn't win. Thankfully it didn't win. Um, tell us that one. The two nothing lead is a good one because truthfully. The Timberwolves are going to live out the dangers of a 2 0 lead. As an old hockey coach, I used to, you know, again, you get into these weird, these hockey things, right? Like, the two goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey. You've always heard that. It isn't just me that's brought up because you have this false sense of security where one play later, it's a one goal game and everybody else now, your team's panicking and the other guys have the momentum. So blah, blah, blah. So Paul is doing an interview with me. I'm down in Chicago. The North or the North Star, the wild are playing the Blackhawks who are the defending Stanley Cup champions. And you know, I'm talking to Paul about how the, the wild really need to play a, a tight defensive game. They, they don't want to get into a shootout with the Blackhawks. They wanna really shut things down and try to win games. Two, one and three, two. And he goes, well, what happens if they jump out to a two nothing lead? And I took the bait, you know, like a dummy, I took the bait, he set you up. And I said, yeah, the, the two nothing lead would be great. Like, who doesn't want a two? Nothing lead. But I said, honestly. If the 2 0 lead is going to, is going to change the way you play in that game and in the series and you start trying to outscore the Chicago Blackhawks, you're going to get buried. If it's me, I'd say I'd much rather the Wilds come out and win. Shut things down keep it zero zero put the pressure on the Blackhawks and eat something out late. So basically I said So anyway, you said there's nothing worse than a two a two goal lead I think is essentially what it boils down to There have been some great Like, like Paul Charchin to me is like as good as it gets when it comes to football knowledge, you know, the fantasy football stuff he puts out there a couple of years ago, he won a championship, um, back when, when Brady was in new England and Jimmy Garoppolo was his backup. And, you know, Brady was, you know, he was starting to slow down a little bit and Paul Charchin, this football guru went on the radio and basically did basically, he said, Tom Brady right now is not the Tom Brady we know. He might not be the best quarterback. On his football team. Oh, come on The punchline was a few months later. Tom brady was the super bowl mvp and the patriots won another super bowl And so he won it that year with that that statement So I I don't feel as bad because I got a lot of respect for paul chargier. Well, and like you said to be You know, grouped in, mentioned, with the likes of Sid Hartman and Mark Rosen and Paul Allen. I mean, that's, that is rare air. That's fantastic. It's too bad I did it the way I, you know, you get there with saying silly things. Speaking of a 2 0 lead, the, uh, our Minnesota Timberwolves have, uh, Well, it hasn't worked out quite as we had hoped. No, it's depressing. You know what I mean? Is it, though? I mean, it's really not depressing. Well, it is, because Famine is depressing. Right. I get it, but, man, It just, it takes you back to I mean, the Vikings setbacks, the Stanley Cup losses by the North Stars, the Wild not really getting over the hump at any point, and, you know, the Twins were the only team to do it, right? 1991. And I'll never forget my dad looking at me and saying, I don't know how this happened. This isn't supposed to happen. Son, you have to understand, we live in Minnesota. We don't get nice things. Just enjoy this while it's here. Because you're not going to see one for a long time again. And I'm like, ah, Kenny, because here we are. And like the wolves go up to nothing. This town is on fire. They're buzzing. Anthony Edwards is being compared to Michael Jordan. The Timberwolves fans are not even talking about the Nuggets as a, as a problem. Like we're just talking about, okay, who are they going to play in the next round? When do we get to play the Celtics? And now here we are. It's 2 2. Denver has all the momentum. Conley's banged up. The Wolves look just completely lost. They look like they are completely intimidated by the defending champions. And I'll be shocked if Denver doesn't wrap this thing up in quick order. Isn't that the cool thing though? That's when cool stuff happens. When you're down, you know, the underdog is, that makes it really exciting. I mean, I have no idea. I hope they can pull it out, I just don't have a lot of faith right now. No, they figured out the wolves, that's for sure. So I wanted to tell you guys a little bit about my weekend. It was quite interesting, I had a very busy weekend. I had a very busy weekend. Right. The highlight of the weekend was the masonic children's hospital gala. Yeah. Which is held at the depot. And it's quite an event. There was probably 900 people. They're raised well over raised well over a million dollars. And I just want to tell you a couple of, uh, anecdotes about the, uh, the, the, The event, um, for starters, we're sitting right next to, um, do you guys know who Jason Hackett is? He's the morning anchor on care. 11 news. Yeah. Yeah. Could not be a nicer guy. Absolutely. And a great guy. And, Jason recently came out as gay, and was on the cover of Lavender Magazine, and the day that he came out, uh, we were watching the KARE 11 broadcast, and they've got this meteorologist guy named John something who's kind of a goofball. But his reaction to, to Jason mentioning this was one of the most heartfelt, like, genuine Like, joyful that Jason had the courage to, to do this. And my favorite line of the whole thing is, as Jason said, I've been living in a glass closet. Like, everybody kinda knew, but they didn't know. And he said, you know, it was just so great to come out. And I just was so, like, I always thought that John was kind of a goofball, but man, the kindness that he showed to Jason, you know, for the courage coming out and stuff like that was just, I just thought that that was spectacular. Anyway, so we're at this, this wine fest and it is a spectacle. There are a whole bunch of Minnesota Vikings there. Uh, the whole offensive line, the starting offensive line, and is it, and Phillips, the guy, uh, the, the defensive lineman, these are huge human beings. Yeah. Brian O'Neill, who is the right tackle for the Vikings, for starters, forgive me, couldn't be more handsome, according to my wife. I'm, I'm gonna go right out and say, he's a pretty good looking guy. Yeah. Yeah. But he, I always thought that those, that those linemen were kind of thicker guys. Yeah. These guys are pretty trim. This guy tall, really big, six, seven, 300 pounds. And he looks like chiseled granite. Christine Hawkins, who's a very dear friend of ours, her brother, Doug Turfer works for, some agency that are the agents for a whole bunch of Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota athletes, CJ ham. and, the new linebacker that they got from the Texans, Blake Cashman, who is an Eden Prairie guy, played for the Gophers. Anyways, Doug took me around and introduced me to a bunch of these guys, and explained Checking their hands, looking up, going, nice to meet you. When I went to Blake Cashman, I, shook his hand and kind of grabbed his one arm, and I said, hey, you want to arm wrestle? And he goes, yeah, let's go. And I said I don't want to, I just was curious if you wanted to, but Doug, the kind man that he was, told them about our podcast and all of these guys seemed very, interested in willing to be on the podcast over the course of the next few weeks, we're going to get some of those guys on the podcast. That's really cool. Yeah. Blake Cashman specifically, he's a Minnesota guy played for the Gophers PJ Fleck, played with Casey O'Brien. Who was our former guest. Casey, was, uh, presented with a special award and Casey is a continuing to battle the cancer situation that he, that he's dealing with, but what an inspirational guy. And when we started talking about him, Blake Cashman's. Genuine love for the guy came out and it was just so just heartwarming. Did you, uh, you probably, you never met Tom West, but Tom, Tom West was Tom West there. Any idea? I didn't see, I, you know who that is? Yeah. We had him on the, for the podcast, but I don't know if you know who, I don't know who he is, but, um, those guys, PJ Fleck was there. There was a whole bunch of it. It was sort of a, this glitterati event. And that's, and there you are, you and Becky, hanging out, toasting wine with Minnesota Masonic Charities is the largest donor. Thus the name Masonic Children's Hospital. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, we made a pledge of, I don't know, 35 million dollars a few years back, and we're very proud. to be able to attach our program to what they're doing, helping kids and saving lives. It was uh, Jason Derusha, or Derusha, he used to be a Channel 4 guy. He's got a podcast now too. He's got a podcast? Yeah. Everybody has a podcast, right? the co host or the co emcee was some woman that was on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, um, oh, there were a whole bunch of people. The Golden Bachelorette? No, not the golden one. Very, very attractive, young lady. Very, yeah, she was, well, no, but, uh, clearly had spent more time in the gym than I have. but just very entertaining. I didn't ask her. I thought that'd get weird. Yeah, it is a little weird. How about the food? The food. I'm not a wine drinker, but, the winos that were there say it's absolutely fantastic wine. You know, the kind of wine that doesn't give you a hangover. the food was just off the charts. The whole event is just incredible. The reason I bring it up on this podcast is the generosity that people show is just remarkable. Like these auction items, that have a value of, 7, 500. We're going for 22, 000. And it's just because we, I think Minnesota has a culture of philanthropy. That's really pretty special. And I think that that's one of the things that makes, Minnesota extraordinary is the fact that there are people out there that are willing to part with their, uh, treasures to make meaningful things happen in the community. And I just want to acknowledge the, uh, the efforts of the folks at the University of Minnesota Foundation for putting that on. It was pretty, pretty amazing. What's up with you Steve? I had a busy weekend myself as well. We're getting prepared for my son's leaving. We're going to Colorado. We're leaving for Colorado on Thursday morning. I'm driving with him. Uh, but so we had a stacked weekend full of things. Tell us again, what's your, what's your son is doing? So he's, he's doing. He did it last summer as well, but he's joined a thing called the, uh, conservation core, which is a kind of a service provider for different, uh, DNR and federal groups that need clearing of trails and, uh, a lot of trail work in the outside. It's a very outdoor kind of thing. They have chainsaws and gear and clear brush, clear trails for hiking, hunting and DNR trails. He did all over the state last year and now he signed up for Colorado. So he's going to Grand Junction, Colorado. He'd be working in around that whole area. And so they camp out, base camp for four days. They work and clear trails. And then he's going to be on his own living out of his truck. Do you know about truck culture, like camp culture? No, I'm not much of an outdoorsman. So it's, it's, it's a whole thing. And he's going to do this for six months. What? Yeah. So, it's, it's a big deal in my family, and we had a big party for him yesterday. Was he sentenced to this? No. For some He is so excited for this. My son, Ben, wouldn't, he wouldn't trade this for anything. So six months in the wilderness. Well They work. No, they work for four or five days out of the week and they camp out on together And then he's gonna in between those days He's gonna travel around Colorado and with with a gang from his work, but he's like living out of his truck Okay, that's remarkable. Yeah, is it a nice truck? Yeah, it's a nice he's he's outfitted. He spent his whole Summer or I should say holy springs be preparing for okay He's has like a bed and all these compartments. And he's very excited. That's very cool. So I'll be in a car for, you know, Two days straight driving to Colorado. Is it a long bed truck? So will he be able to stretch out and stuff? No, he's, he's a short man like me. Okay. Well, I mean, he's, it's a, it's a Toyota Tacoma. Okay. Okay. Yeah. He's loving it. But what I was going to tell you is we went to, we volunteered for the Susan G Coleman walk this weekend at the Viking stadium or Vikings, uh, practice stadium area. What a great event. We did it last year and this year we. We took part in volunteer, signing people up and, but then they gave us the route. We were route monitors. So Jennifer was at one end of this small area where they had two way traffic of what people walking. And so I ended up, you know, guiding people coming one way. And then once the traffic started to come from the other side, where they go around the lake, I had to make sure they saw where we were and, you know, guide them. So I was high fiving people and, you know, saying you're almost there doing a great job. I was doing that. Okay. Kind of came on. And, uh, you wouldn't believe the, the compassion and, and that people are so thankful that I was volunteering. They're thanking me for volunteering and that's an important part of the whole program. I know, but this group of people are, they've all had, this is a cancer, breast cancer survivors, right? So my wife is a breast cancer survivor and all these people have either lost someone or have gone through something really horrible and they are, they couldn't be more joyous People, they're there all because of celebrating someone or, um, supporting someone. And it was, it was kind of moving being there, just doing that, stand out in the sun and being, people were, they had these stories people were telling, you know, this music was playing and it was quite a meaningful Saturday morning. It was great. Once again, another just great example of the Minnesota culture of philanthropy. Last Thursday, I was at Town and Country Club. I was invited to a lunch. Remember we had Lisa Muschett on from the pine tree classic. Yeah, that's coming up. So Josh Anderson and I, went to the pine tree classic kickoff. Yeah. Yeah. And once again, the, uh, just so happens. This is for you, Michael Dempsey. There was a man from Mata Midi whose son was, one of the patients that this pine tree apple classic supported. And his story was absolutely breathtaking. It was just so wonderful. this is an organization that has raised millions of dollars over the years for children's Minnesota. For a variety of different ailments that, uh, childrens of Minnesota take care of, but specifically cancer. So, I am hoping that we can do some sponsorship for the, uh, the Pine Tree Apple Classic. They've got forty five hundred, spectators that come to the event. they've had a couple of hundred tennis players over the years, Josh being one of them. Yeah, it's a very, it's just an impressive people show up for this stuff. There was like, I think, uh, like 4, 000 people at this thing too. Yeah. People show up and it was a beautiful day last year. It rained the whole time and people still showed up, but this is a kind of a glorious day. It was great. So we really didn't have a theme for today's program, but I do think that Minnesota, the culture of philanthropy is, is pretty, pretty impressive. It's a. Yeah, it's powerful to watch when you go to those events, how people kind of rally around the cause. I, uh, I co MC with Audra Martin from, uh, ballet sports during the winter time. The, uh, the wild about children gala and, uh, in St. Paul and same type of thing, right? There's a silent auction. There's a regular auction and they have these like, okay, I'll give you an example. Dinner in the locker room with the general manager, Bill Guerin and his wife. And then they have this. You know, beautiful set up and you go to the locker room, you sit down at the gym, you get to ask him questions about his team. They have this five course meal with all these fun drinks and then your private bartender. And so, you know, it's like listed at 2, 500, right? It's a cool thing. You get to bring, um, six people. So it was like eight total. If you're a couple that bids on this and, you know, it's suggested 2, 500 and the auction starts and people just kind of feed off the energy in the room. And the cause at hand, it's, it's, uh, it's really powerful to watch. And all of a sudden it's nine, 10, 11, 12, 000 for this experience. And it just blows you away that people are so generous. And, you know, at this event, there's always the videos from the hospital with the kids. And, um, it's the children's hospital that benefits from this, from this great, uh, wild foundation event. And every year I go down there with Audrey and every year, one of us ends up in tears. I mean, it's just, it's that kind of night. But I'm blown away by how good people are, right? I mean, we always hear, turn on the news, you hear the bad stories, and there's violence, and there's, you know, Democrats and Republicans are fighting, and then the whole, you know, all the stuff that's going on in the world right now. I mean, you go to an event like that, and you're like, you know what? People are actually pretty damn good. Absolutely. And considering, you know, inflation's hard, money's actually tight, and people are still giving more than they probably can do, and it's pretty amazing. speaking of times are tough, Red Lobster, uh, an iconic, uh, restaurant in, in, uh, America, they're gonna shut down a ton of their, their, uh, restaurants. Oh, no. Yeah, so, ode to the, uh, Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Yeah, you know that I think I've been to Red Lobster once. What? I've only been there once, and everybody talks about those biscuits and stuff, and Well, maybe we should go before you, uh I've been to the Outback 3, 500 times, but that's Very different. You guys ever been to the Texas Roadhouse? If you haven't put that on your list. I haven't. And that's another one that's got some bread that everybody just raps about. Oh honey Butter. The whole been bit. That's good. And the steaks are fantastic. So before we depart, I was wondering if we could take a minute one of the things that we brought up at the civility school that was really. Well received. In fact, there were a number of mothers that came up after and said, What you really ought to do is do a little bit more of that, uh, don't be that guy. Yeah. we've had the don't be that guy. Program here for, uh,, we've talked about it off. Yeah, but you guys kind of do a different spin on it, right? You do that. Yeah. So the, the idea behind it and how this relates to the kindness chronicles, as we talk about the fact that, when you're developing your personal brand, And, the things that people will remember about you, kindness is at the core of that. And one of the ways that you show kindness to others is through your manners and through etiquette. And I, get the kids attention and I get them kind of revved up and I start by saying, you know, how many of you guys, when you get a piece of steak or a piece of chicken, you cut it up like into ten pieces and, And then you eat them one at a time. And a bunch of these little guys raise their hand, like they're answering. They, and my response is don't be that guy, you know, when you're eating a steak, you should have, it's one cut one bite. And so, okay. So you, uh, you talked to me about this. You heard, I heard this. I think efficiency wise, maybe you cut it all up. But why, why is that rude? I kind of want to understand. It's just, it's just, it looks like you're, I don't know who made the rules, but it's the rules. I don't, okay. Okay. And you know, it just looks, you cut up your food when you're a child. I guess. Yeah. You know, when you're an adult. Yeah. I mean, there are just certain things. Oh, how about this one? Yeah. This is one. Give us another one. When you are getting to the end of your meal and there's one fork full of food left on the plate. Yeah. And you feel the urge to use the index finger from your non forking hand and you shove the food onto the fork with your finger. Yeah. You ever seen anybody do that? I've Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't be that guy again. That's just a etiquette rule. It's an etiquette rule. How about this one? This is, this is one I said, you know, how many of you young men out there will put a dirty dish in the sink when the dishwasher is empty? And every mom started pointing at the kids saying, that's what he does. Don't be that guy. No. Put your dishes be that guy. Dishes in the sink. How about how many of you guys will make your bed in the morning without being asked? Or being, what do they say? Not a single hand went up really. And that's a different thing. Making your bed is kind of like a, that's a goal. You said there's a whole thing to that. There's the book that was written by some like army general first comma, make your bed. It's the one thing you can, you can actually get done for the day. Yeah, you can, you can do it. You've gotten something accomplished. It's I like that. I'm all about that for the entire day. Yeah. We talked about this. When somebody says thank you to you, what is a proper response? You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah. And if it's written, how do you spell your? Your. Your. Huh? Y O U apostrophe R E. How often do you see your welcome Y O U R? I went to St. Jude's, I had Miss Lally and she nailed that stuff down for us. I was, me and my workmate, Brian, we are all over about that. We teach our kids that stuff, but that is a common thing. It is common. If I do make a mistake, it's a typo, but I know it very well. It's, it's not a typo. I'm saying when, when I do, when I have done it, it's, If I've ever don't be that guy. Well, you got to check it, right? What's funny is, is, you know, we talk about the fact in building your personal brand. So that's brand. So that's not like a bill. That's brand. But that's also that is to me. It's what is it? I just, I'm a jerk, I guess. No, no, no, I'm just trying to tie it together. How does this tie to Kindness Chronicles? It probably doesn't. You're aware of yourself. You're, you're keeping track of yourself. Well, I think it's about paying attention to, being respectful of the comments that you're making to others. Here's a question for you. When you go through the Chick fil A drive thru and you say, thank you, what is their response? You're very welcome. No! My pleasure. Oh, did I say that? Every time. You must not spend enough time in the Chick fil A drive thru. I thought they said, God bless you or something. One of my favorite things is, oh, because Chick fil A. You're so good looking. Oh, there it is. Yeah. The Seinfeld reference. Well, I have another Seinfeld reference. Have we ever had a walk a thon for the human fund? I love the human fund. In fact, I think this year, during the holidays, I'm gonna do the human fund. You're gonna do the human fund. Do you recall what their slogan is? Money for people. No, it's money for people. Simple. It's a human fund. Yes. Oh, I love it. That's Larry David right there. Um, but you know, we also talk about, pushing your chair and when you get done, to me, that's showing respect to whoever is the host of the party. When you get done pushing the chair, don't leave it. So these are, hold on. Now these are kind of things you do. You're not trying to get credit. I'm just trying to set this up. You're not trying to get credit. You're trying to show respect. You're doing these things. Not expecting anyone to notice, but then someone does notice and goes, wow, that guy's got it together. Well, and he's got it together. It's for the people that that is important to. It makes an impact for most people. Maybe it doesn't make an impact. That's why I'm interested in what kids are. Do they care? Like, well, they should, but they're hearing about it. So that's the whole point means something, right? Well, and the whole point of the civility school is to, to, to put these in, frankly, they're kind of old fashioned values. They're traditional, to me, it's a way to differentiate yourself from the people that are around you. And when you're, you know, working on building your personal brand, if you pay attention to those kinds of things. I think that it just elevates your brand. Here's the thing, if you're 15 or 14. Yeah. And you go to a friend's house and you do that, you know the parents will notice that. But. To your friends. Your friends won't notice that until, they'll never notice that. But you wanna know something if you're 14 or 14 year friends. But if you do it, if you do it, they will follow you. They're, you have a lot of influence probably. You know, I, I can tell you percent that when we would have, uh, during football two a days for seven years, we had 12 to 15 guys come over here in between the first and the second practice for lunch. Every day for seven years, seven years, because Jack and Ben, yeah. From 2013 to 2020, it was a lot of food, but the families would, would pick a day and they would bring the food on that particular day. And the first day, there was always a guy or two that would go around and start picking up. And the other guys would see that and realize, okay, maybe that's what I ought to be doing. I mean, there's always going to be a jackass in the group that just sits there and is waited on. Yeah. Don't be that guy. There you go. Don't be that guy. Because that is a guy. That is just doesn't get it. Yeah. And is never gonna get it. Or they're the baby of their family, like my wife. Oh, should I edit that out? I can't believe that you, she does a bless him. Careful. And she loves, she loves it. She knows it. Anyway, so we're gonna, we're gonna start to incorporating some. Don't be that guys into the program. I like it. KG, we're coming up on our 100th episode. We're counting on you, man. We're counting on you. I gotta, I gotta connect. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. With the silver sticks or the wooden sticks and all the Canterbury stuff. Let's lean in a little bit and help out the chopsticks show about Chinese wooden sticks. It's a show about Asian food. Exactly. Anyway, you've got to go. We got to go. And, uh, I guess with that off we go. Bye bye.
