00:23later yeah when i get home that's the first thing i'm doing is i'm just gonna walk in the street
00:28two droughts i only wish just for i don't know selfishly for our own sake the show's sake
00:36that we had started in the 2000 season right after music city miracle as a show because then we would
00:44have spanned the life of two uh you know these ridiculous droughts whereas we started you know
