00:42all the time in a world where everything is constantly on the only thing that has value
00:49are experiences that you can't yeah manufacture totally and that's why sports i mean everything
00:55is in this phase like the thing when they call about people coming in here with us to raise money

01:19and 35 years later you remember i was sitting right there totally but just go just to go buy something
01:25you're like no it's not worth it but that experience is it is because that that's something you cannot

01:38lifetime the washington capitals won the stanley cup yeah eight years ago yesterday yeah is that
01:45crazy to think it was eight you know what when jeff first said it that first thought hit me but

05:51remember they won on the road and i was at cap one i watched it with i remember watching with
05:57clinton
05:57yates actually and um just going out into the street afterward and it was just because you know
06:07the gnats won the next year i think the mystics won the next year but like there hadn't been a
06:11champion
06:12in dc since you were playing your second year in the nfl like that drought was beyond i mean multiple
06:21decades oh yeah right and the celebration and it was like ov finally gets his cup kind of shuts up
06:26all
06:27the haters like it was just there was a lot of them out there dude it was just so like
06:32joyous and
06:34the the scene i remember most from walking around i mean dude we were just drinking beer on the streets
06:39nobody cared about that everybody's going nuts and there were like so eight years ago i was what 36
06:48so i'm i'm probably not on the older end but like there were young people partying out there probably
06:55not all 21 but there was a lot of young people partying and the bus stop right at 7th and
07:048th right
07:05in front of is that now a walgreens it was a cbs for a while but like right at the
07:09arch i'm talking
07:10about like the heart of chinatown like the heart of traffic and cap one arena like everything is all
07:17right there there's a bus stop and i see these two young women climb up on top of it and
07:24they're just
07:25standing on top of the bus stop partying going nuts and i'm like this doesn't seem like it's gonna end
07:31well and i see these cops come over and i'm like oh boy and i'm just watching from a distance
07:37and the cops like you guys all right and they're like actually could you help us get down and they
07:43just helped them get down there was no arrest there was no nothing it was like everybody was
07:48just here to have fun and let's not do anything stupid and it was it was an amazing time for
07:56this
07:56city and you know why it feels so far away i think why that feels so long ago covid dude
08:03yeah like
08:04everything pre-covid almost feels like a different era you know what i mean like for me remember i asked
08:12you this question i said bro we gotta get a psychiatrist on one day to talk why is it every
08:16time they won something in college park y'all tore up everything but in that situation when the caps won
08:23it was far more everybody's helping out and peaceful that is what i expect when something great happens
08:29i don't expect people to be burning up couches and all kind of stuff and i've seen that in multiple
08:34cities i think that's more of a college reaction oh it's been some pro pro areas too that's true so
08:40it
08:40happened that documentary on i'm guessing white brian's my only lock on that but i just don't
08:45understand what makes a person today my team won the championship let's go burn up the town i believe
08:51it was vancouver i could be wrong it was a canadian city after their team lost the cup i think
08:58they
08:59just outright rioted and like broke i can wrap my head around that i can wrap my head around that
09:07i
09:08can't wrap my head around people doing that when they're happy you know what i'm saying yeah
09:12you
