Welcome to the to coach Bennett's talking Podcast. I'm Coach Tammie Bennett. And I'm Coach Chris Bennett. This is where we talk about anything we want. Anything we want, like movies or music, running, not running life and what gets us excited. Fantasy and sci fi books? No, we're not talking about that. All right, well, we'll talk about everything but fantasy and sci fi books. So sit back or keep moving because it's time to start talking.
coach chris bennett:Episode Three is here and we've got a lot going on. We talked about crying at track meets the joy of celebrating other people's celebrations. And inspired by tammie's dare to show up program, we dive deep into the magic of a dare in the power of daring to dare. As always, we have our petty grievances, and talk about what's floating our fancies this week. So get ready for a great episode.
Unknown:Hey, Coach, how you doing? So good. How are you? Coach? Good. I hope I'm not yelling. You can always adjust the levels if you are. Oh, that's so tedious. I'll just try to control my excitement. But I'm excited to talk to you how you been? What's been going on? Talk to me. Talk to us.
coach tammie bennett:Well, our girls ran districts to let's meet in Oregon to qualify for the state championship. And there were some really great performances and races and efforts and fun team hugging and ribbons and all the things you cried. I cried. Yes. More than once.
Unknown:Yeah. We've been playing cards with our college son at night nine hole golf is a card game which is very fun. I guess three people played last night. What What place did you end up just I know that this is going to continue throughout the summer, but just so we can give updates will place you in? Well, I was in third last night when I played with you. But I stomped jack on the night that you weren't playing conveniently enough. Yes. And so I was in first place that night. Okay, so I don't seen that version of you get right, right. Just wait, just wait. It's a fun game. And then I just been having a really good time with the people in my dare to show up group, some really kind of fun, and also moving kind of things going on. So that's just always a lot, a lot of the ups and the downs and the middles and all the things. And I had a moment this week, that felt really tough because I had one of those reply to email. It wasn't a reply all but it was a reply to the person it was forwarded from. So basically, I reply to it to the wrong person. And it was just a little bit, just one of those little like, little moments that makes you feel sick to your stomach. But it was all okay, it was all good. I didn't say anything bad. But you know, we all have those moments. Were just like, oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, yours was not that bad. Because the email that you sent, it just went to the wrong person. But it was a cool email. Might have been read the wrong way initially, but it was a cool email. Yeah, I think it might have been read the wrong way. And it might have been read as an unprofessional email, but I'm not really professional. Right? And really, yeah, yeah. Not not in the like the like, you know, the the dictionary term where you? Yeah, I meant it as a compliment. Yes. Yes, I take it as I take it as a compliment. Good. So what's been going on with you? I was at the same meet that you were at where you were crying. Coach Bennett, the greater Tammy and I, we don't stand with each other during races. We're at different parts of the track for a couple of different reasons. Not not because we don't like hanging out with each other. Just if you can space out what you're saying. And we look at races a little bit differently. So we yell different things. And anyway, I called you at one point. And you answered it, and I immediately knew I didn't even make it. Yeah, I didn't even make a noise. And you're like, I think it was I was like hello. You were like a tempo to your breathing. Well, you said hello. And I said, Oh, she's she's crying. You actually said stop crying or don't cry. Emotional, I think take a break from crying so yells this yes, that's exactly what you said. Yeah, I'm not going to tell you to stop. But if you could pause, just to let them know. It's down to basically two and a half minutes of hard running and you're going to achieve what you want to achieve them. then you can go back to crying. Yeah. And that's pretty much exactly what I did. I gave great advice. I said what I needed to say, it gave me focus. And then I went back to crying again was amazing. Yes. And this is the thing. There's nothing wrong with crying when you're watching something that's making you cry. But from a coaching point of view, if you're the athlete, hearing the instructions from someone who's crying may throw you. Oh, it's hot. You don't want the athlete to lose focus. And wonder, wait, that sounded weird. Were they crying when they told me there's two minutes left to go? So yeah, it was just a little, little piece of coaching advice that we you know, we give each other it's been a fun week, you've got this great group, doing your dares. I this month has been very busy with people right racing, doing marathons and half marathons. So I'm getting, it's always a fun time of year, because I'm getting lots of comments and feedback and messages and race recaps from from athletes that I've kind of run with, so to speak. So it's been a lot of fun. For me, because it's such a celebratory atmosphere, even for people who maybe aren't completely achieving their goal. It's, it's a great opportunity to remind them of everything they've achieved, leading up to the starting line of this of this race. So yeah, it's been a fun, fun couple of weeks. I just want to say something about that, because I get a lot of those emails to have updates from clients and telling me about their wins. And I think, you know, for me, and you from a selfish point of view, it's so fun and amazing to get those emails, and you're like, yes, so and so did it, you know, and like, we give them a virtual high five. But I think it's so good also, as from the athlete, or from the client, that's sending us those things, for them to it, to take that moment out of their day to acknowledge what they've done and to share it with somebody that's so powerful, I think to see what you've done, and then to go tell somebody about it. A certain level of confidence and joy that you have to have to be able to do that. So yeah, if you're listening, and you've ever worked with us, send us an email and shares your wins, because we love, love, love to celebrate with you. And we love seeing you celebrate yourself. Yeah, that's one of the coolest parts about being a coach is you become this excuse for someone to celebrate themselves. Which is awesome. Because I'd love to party, you know, I know you'd like to party. So it's, it's, it's always fun to be invited into their celebrations, which is part of how you keep going, it's part of the fuel, you can't sustain anything, if you're not enjoying it, if you're not celebrating it. And on the flip side, which is also nice. I enjoy getting any feedback about what's going on, including, it didn't go well, I came up short. I made some mistakes, because that's also an excuse to kind of process and go through through these things. And part of it is breaking it down and seeing what went really well that you're not paying attention to. And it's also breaking down what didn't go well and trying to figure out why. So there's a purpose to that as well. So I love the excuse to kind of celebrate and also just to look back on good and bad. Because I think that's a really important exercise too. Because sometimes we're scared to celebrate. And we're also scared to be critical. Yeah, it's so important. Yep. Love it. What's next? Mistake getting used to kind of our thing. Oh, we go straight into meat and taters this time. We've kept on waiting long enough. Okay, well, I actually asked if the meat and taters this week could really be inspired by the DARE program you're doing now. Actually, the DARE program sounds like the thing for middle school. Yeah, we're not talking about like, don't do drugs. Although, yeah, you know, you shouldn't do most drugs. Yeah. Okay. So give a little bit of a quick overview of what you're doing. And then I'll talk about why I want to talk about it. Yeah, it's just for the month of May. I'm giving this group a dare a day. And so I give them the dare I explain why and what it's based on, and then they go do it, or they don't do it. And then they share all about it. Give two or three examples. Oh, gosh, you're putting me on the spot. Yeah. I'll just I'll give you one from I think today or yesterday. I dare you to name a body part that you love. The purpose of that was to look at our bodies in a way other than critically, you know, tearing apart and finding the flaws, and just really appreciating, giving ourselves appreciation for what we look like or what We do what our body does for us all the things. One, this is an interesting one that was very hard for some people, it was ideal for you to write a love letter to yourself, which sounds a little similar to the body one, but that one was very hard for some people to do. Another example was seeing at the top of your lungs, by yourself with your family in the car and the dark and the shower, I don't care where, but just seeing like a belly sing, right, like a belly laugh, but it's just sing your heart out to a song. And that one's been really fun to see the feedback. Yeah, I'm going to do that. On the way to the track meet tonight for you. Yes, yeah. So I love your hope you're fired up and excited about it. Can I request the song? Oh, you can request the song doesn't mean I'm going to do it. Because I'm not your jukebox. Okay, I'm more likely to request what not to sing than what I want you to sing. But let me ask you a question here. Would you? Would you rather see me happily singing something? Because sometimes remember the covers better than the original? True? Or do you? Do you want me to settle for something that in the background, because it's really going to be the background. So I'm going to be singing as loud as I can, is a song you don't like sired? I know, I'm not going to name the band. I know what band you don't want me to sing. And I won't sing them. But let me just say this. I live in the land of and I believe fully with my heart that you can find a song that you feel absolute joy and singing, and it's on my approval list. So I think we can both come out a winner? Well, I It's interesting, because I live in the land of and too. And I believe that I can sing a song that's on my approval list, and is not on your approval list. And you will still enjoy it. Oh, that's a little ambitious. And do you have a retort? Okay, so that's great. So let me tell you why I want to talk about dares. Okay. Part of it is because of what we're doing here with the podcast, because it's taken me forever, almost, to actually do any kind of podcast. And I was interested in your group, and taking part in some of it. And it suddenly dawned on me, so many of these things are being done. And they're difficult for people to do. But the idea of being dared to do it is the impetus for getting it done. And without the dare, even though it's a good thing, even though it's something you want to do, even though it's something that maybe on a list, it won't get done. What is the power of a dare to do that? How do you see what is the strength of that? Because it goes back to when you're a kid to that idea of being dared to do something you're more likely to to give it a try. If someone who dares you and suddenly like alright, I'll do it. What is it? What is it? What do you see? What is the power of a deer? Yeah, before I get to that, though, you said double dog dare. And that's really cool, because I also give double dog dares, for every deer that I give each day, there is also a double dog dare if someone's feeling like going extra, I give them that option. Okay, so what I think it is, is that you're by being dared to do something, you're not shouldering all the responsibility for it. So if it doesn't go over, well, you're like, well, they dared me to do it, and it's not on you. So it really is, in actuality, it is on you, you're the one who chose to do it or not. But you can trick your brain into going out and doing it because you're tricking your brain into thinking even if I fail even if this flops or doesn't go well, no biggie. It's not on me. I only did it because they told me to. So I think it's just a little trick that we can use to get our brain to go do the thing that feels scary, because there aren't the consequences don't feel as harsh. It's so fascinating. It's interesting, because I had my original thought on this was basically what you were saying was there's something about the risk associated with doing something. And when it's dared, that risk doesn't really change, except maybe the lighting on it changes. It's a little bit different. For whatever reason and I think you you kind of summed it up that it's you're not shouldering all the burden yourself. It's it's part of the person daring you as well as yourself. And the idea of failing and a dare for some reason does not seem nearly as terrifying as when you're setting a goal or attempting something new which I just find bizarre. Like if you dared someone who's never run before, to dare I mean to run. I bet their mentality would be a little bit different because most people Oh, I can't run I'm not any good or I can't sing or I can't act I can't write but it's like I dare you. And it's like alright, fine, I'll do it. You'll see and yeah, but then they try. Yeah, So I mean, you know, when you said Middle School, it brought me to like, you know, I remember I don't remember a grade was seventh or eighth when people would dares you know, someone to go ask somebody to go with them, which meant, like, we thought it meant like dating or being boyfriend, girlfriend. But really, it just meant that then all of a sudden, you ignore each other and like, don't even look at each other in, right. So someone would say like, Hey, so and so I dare you to go ask Katherine and go with you. And they would go do it because of Katherine said, no, they can be like, Oh, I didn't really mean it. Anyway, I just did it because they dared me to. So that's what I mean by like it, the responsibility of the field isn't on you, you can just brush it off. And it's, it's such a healthy way to take on. And fun way I think, which is what I love about the group that you've got is it's such a fun way of doing things that normally are scary. But now that you're looking at them in this new way, they're just kind of silly and ridiculous. And I don't mean that in a negative way. And I don't mean that diminishing in what you're doing. But there's something a little bit more fun about it, it's similar to like, when you see someone in a werewolf suit, in December, at 2pm, walking around a store, it's silly. If you're walking in the woods alone, and you see somebody in a werewolf suit, it's terrifying. But to me, I don't know if this is making any sense. But in my head, this is perfect. It's just you're you're changing how something is perceived by looking at it a little differently. So jumping off the high board at the pool, which is something that when I was growing up, that was the big deal that there was kind of a low board than there was a high board. And there was an age that you weren't allowed to go on to the high board. But it was scary to go on the high board. I don't know any kids who ever went off the high board the first time, and it wasn't a dare. It was an idea. You've never done it before. On your own, you're not doing it. You have three or four people like come on a dairy and, and part of it, I think is also the excitement about accomplishing the day or, or at least attempting the dare, which is also really cool and really positive as well. Well, you know, I think one of the very first deer that I gave was to have them write five things that they wish someone would dare them to do. Because like if we use your high dive example, all the kids want to jump from the high dive. They're just scared. Yeah, that's, but it's almost like to be given permission to do the thing you want to do anyway. Yes, the dare gives you that permission. But I'm going to just confess a little sneaky thing, this whole dares thing has been a little bit of a trick. And if you are listening, and you're one of my daredevils in that group, I love you so much. And this trick came with all love. But the way that I teach goals, and I think you teach them very similarly, is that you, you should take away the fear of failure. Right? So the joy of going after a goal is the process of being the person who goes after something and you, you, you'll go after it, even if there's a chance that you might fail, right? So the way that I teach goals is you're going after this goal without fear of failure, that even if you do fail, which you will multiple times on the way to a successful goal, that it doesn't throw you off. It's not scary. You're just like, Oh, yep, here's the time when I fail, now I'm going to keep going. So really, this dear group is just a way to have you go do those things without the fear of failure, because now it's, they can blame me for all of it. Well, Tammy dared me to, and there's no failure on them. So really, all I'm doing is showing them that you can do things if you take away the fear of failure. Yeah, I agree. I love it. I think it's terrific. Once you get rid of that you open yourself up to taking on so many cooler things. I also think it's a lot of fun to have the freedom to fail. And I think that's what sports is great at. I think the dare thing is really cool, because I think there's this mentality that you have to be totally successful on everything you do. Sports is great. Because you're never totally successful. You're never 100% There is no perfection. And you're allowed to miss shots, Miss goals, let goals slip through, stumble come up short get fifth place, or 500 plays. And it's not the end of the world. Which is one of the most wonderful parts about sports and play is where you can you can fail all the time. I love that first dare that you had, or that first project write down five dares you wish people dared you to do? Yeah, that is so fascinating. I mean, you could peel that thing apart for hours of what that means and what you're saying to yourself and why can't that person who dares you to do it just be you. I mean, that's sneaky. I like that. So I have two things to say. One is the great thing about sport. And that gives you the opportunity to fail and fail and play and try and fail. And I think that's something that our era and an older missed out on. I think that that was not the mentality that we were brought up in, it was like when at all costs, second place is the first loser, all of that kind of thought. And now I think the tides are changing a little bit. And I've been well, we both been lucky enough to speak at some running conferences and clinics and stuff. But one of the things that I talk about is having a try chart try. And basically charting and celebrating all the times that you went for something, maybe you tried a different event, maybe you tried to go out faster than normal, or slower than normal, but trying something different, and not giving a fuck about if you fail or not, but celebrating the fact that you went and tried something. So yeah, I think that that just goes hand in hand with what you're saying that sports is the perfect opportunity to practice failing to practice trying and celebrating the trying. And in doing so you're going to win a hell of a lot more. And I agree with you 100%. I think that our generation would have benefited greatly on the playing fields if we were coached a slightly different way. Yeah, completely. The other thing that I wanted to say is something that I've observed in this deers group is that so many people in this group now are going and doing other daring things. So they are doing things that were on that list the first day that they made a five things they wish they were dared to do, they're just going ahead and doing them without me daring them to. And they're just going ahead and doing these other things. Like I've had people in the group that have applied for jobs. I've had people do a price quote for a job that was like twice as high as I'd ever done before. These crazy things that they're feeling safer in doing because they've exercised that their muscle. And I think what happens is you do this dare that feels a little safe because Tammy dared me to or Johnny on the playground dared me to, and then you realize like, Oh, I just asked for a thing. And I still live to tell the tale. And you know, and like you realize, like, oh, it's actually kind of safe to like put myself out there. And so then you do it in a little bit scarier way. And then you realize, hey, I'm still kicking, I'm still here. And so like you just like, gradually expand your safety zone of the daringness. You just get more and more daring. And so anyway, I just that was a really fun observation. And we're not even through the month yet. And there's already people really being bold out there. And you're teaching people to dare to dare, which is so awesome. So much fun. You want to do some petty grievances. Let's do it. Do you have one? I have one. Okay, once you start, this petty grievance of mine is going to sound very familiar to an earlier petty grievance of mine, but they irk me equally, so I think they both deserve a chance to be heard. This one is the empty toiletries that are left in the bathrooms. So this may be a container of I juice or I guess people call it contact solution. Juice. I call it I use lotion, shampoo. It's just empty on the counter, literally within arm's reach, or arm's length, or inches literally inches less than a foot away from the trash can. Or recycling bin. But yet they're they're empty on her counterspace are very, very, what do you call that when like, it's a prized thing like, or it's you don't have much of it, but you prize it? I don't know. What's what people say about counterspace when you always want more of it, and there's never enough real estate. Yeah, yeah, but I don't mean. Yeah. That just makes me think of for sale signs. That's not really the imagery, but you know what I mean? I was thinking more something like gold territory or like, huh, yeah, but anyway, that's it. Okay. It's interesting. What's yours? Mine is actually something I saw. Recently, when I was at a stop sign the car in front of me, and I knew it was going to happen because I know they do it every single time. If I ever see someone smoking in their car, I know what's coming. The scumbag throws their cigarette butt out the window when they're done. So it's not disgusting enough that at a stoplight or a stop sign. I have my window down and I have to inhale your smoke. You then have to litter by throwing your butt out into the street. Just throw your cigarette butt away. Like as I've stuffed in my car, I've trashed my car. I don't drop it out the window when I'm done with it. All right, I've gone on too long. Tamizh rolling your head and sighing loudly. Let's open up the mailbag. While you're while you're ruffling through the mailbag. Can I just say that it pleased us to no end, where we got our first package in the mail to our mailbag. And it was from a listener who was also participated in a class that me and you taught Coach Bennett, best runner ever. And he sent us something incredible. We haven't revealed it yet, but we're going to reveal it on our Instagram just because it'll be really fun. But we are just thinking you, Eric, so much from the bottom of our heart, for your support and for your enthusiasm, and for celebrating with us that we started this podcast. Okay, once you got the mailbag. Okay, I decided to go with one. That's a little silly, but actually pretty interesting. And I, I'm not exactly sure what your answer is going to be on this, which is why I find it interesting. It's, what is your favorite game that you have on your phone? Oh, I'm ready. Are you? Yeah, mine's a complicated answer. But yes. Okay, then go for it. I have a game called dominations. Okay, it's one of those games that takes if you're building like little civilizations, and then you can like go to war, and all that kind of stuff. The problem is, is I refuse to pay for anything. So I'm at a point now where anything I tried to do or build takes five to seven days, is you have to wait for things to refill. You can't just like buy them. You can buy them. But um, but you won't buy them. You won't? Well, I'm not No, I'm not. I don't like the game that much. So I'm stuck saying, Well, I'm going to build a cannon and it says, Okay, this is going to take seven days. Now I got nothing to do. I don't care enough to keep coming back into it. So I'll forget. And I'll come back in four days later and see three days left to go. Well, I see you playing games almost every day. So what are you playing? While domination is like building things in the back? I'm not you see that as that's absolutely not true. What's the games? There's like green grass. And there's like these little men, and they're like fighting and throwing rocks and stuff. What's that? First of all, you you don't have to describe my games in such a ridiculous way. That's what I see out of the corner of my eye with green grass. And guys walking around throwing little guys rocks at each other. First of all, you're trying to describe this dominations game. But I'm not playing it. What you're seeing is me opening it up and realizing I got nothing to do and then I turned it off. Now you check on that a lot, then, oh, this is see this is the thing like once a day, like frequently not like a lot of hours, but I don't check on it once a day. So that's just absolutely not true. This is fake news. So I will say every once in a while I go into Candy Crush, and I either can't get the board. And then that's another one that says like, you can either pay or you have to wait like 20 minutes. And I'm like, forget it. And I don't come back for three weeks. But there will be times where suddenly like the other night I wanted to go to bed. And I couldn't stop winning. And I actually was laughing with Jack. I said I just want to go to bed, but I keep getting through these boards. And I was actually hoping that I lost and eventually I did. So those are the only two games. I'm not a big game player. I don't have any games that those are the only two that ever get opened. Okay. So what about you? I've been playing toon blast t o n blast for a couple years now. I think Yeah. And so I was just I just looked it up. I'm on level 2762 You're on level what 2762 Did it start at 2500 I'm literally like, I remember before I started my podcast in 2019. I met with some different people to talk to like they had taken my classes to find out what they liked about me like like sort of like a focus group. So I would know what to talk about on my podcast. And in one of those meetings I remember telling the two women I was with that I wanted to do a whole podcast episode about toon blast and how it's like great life lessons. And it took me with like the blankest Blinkist stairs, so I haven't looked the way I'm looking at you right now. Yes, exactly. It's same exact look. Yeah, but that was in 2019. And here we are in 2023. And I'm still playing it I'm a loyal fan. Is that the game that has the sound of what sounds like someone dragging a wet corpse across the floor. I don't use it with sound and I don't know what that would sound like but that's gross. Well, you play one game where when you slide your fingers Oh, okay, so that's the other one. So that one is called drag in the letter N merge. So you're merging two blocks together to add up to a big number. But this is one of those similar to what you just said, where I'm kind of good at it. And so sometimes the games will literally like I think one of them literally took over 30 minutes. And I just don't have time to be doing that. I don't have time to be doing a 30 minute plus game. But I'm at that point where I'm just so good. That I'm in it. Like if I decide to play it, I'm in it. So I don't play that one as much. Yeah, but that's the one that makes that noise. Can you do it again? And then that's that's dragging something across the floor. That shouldn't be you like you. You're doing this at night. You've already put gum on the security camera lenses like this is nothing good is happening. When I hear that noise, and it's, it's really a gross noise. I'll tell you that when you do play with volume. I do. There is something very satisfying to me about that noise. Even though I'm one of those people that really hate I hate gross noises. Right, but there's something satisfying about that particular noise and I think it's probably enhanced by your noise anointment of it. anointment anointment annoyance annoyance of it. When we met sounds like something you rub on your body anointment ointment Yeah. Yeah, that's you don't in the mailbag should be, which we talked about on a run once with Daniel, the engineer, which was one of the grossest words. Yes. I don't want to talk about them here because I don't like them. Yeah, but we discussed the difference between jelly and ointment. Oh, jelly is for sandwiches. Well, jelly is also for donuts, but jelly is made of you. It's an ointment is a jelly like substance. It's just pointment like you have to pinch your face and it's just awful. But anyway, my anointment Yes, yes. enhances my enjoyment. That for up oh, one word that doesn't exist in that sense. That's not bad for you. I know. I know. So so. Shall we move on to our floating fancies? Yeah, floating fancies. We're getting close to wrapping up. I'm sad to see you leave. But do you have a floating fancy? Or what is floating your fancy? Well, I have a couple of things coming up that I'm looking forward to so one of my favorites section. That's a different section. No, no, no, you're you're missing my point. One of my floating fancies are trailers. Okay, we're off on coming out right now. I love trailers. I love teaser trailers. I love full trailers. I love me watch trailers, but I look at it as if it's an art form. And it really bothers me when a trailer doesn't do the movie justice. I'm okay with a trailer giving too much justice to a movie. I'm okay with that. I'm fine with the trailer being great in the movie stinking. I'm okay. Because I respect the trailer in and of itself. But there were a couple good ones that just came out recently, which I'm excited about. The dune one came out. The latest Indiana Jones one came out the trailer for the new season of the bear just came out. The new Martin County. Yep, the Martin Scorsese Leonardo DiCaprio movie that's coming out, which is also a great book. So yeah, that's my floating my fancy right now our trailers for TV shows and movies. Yeah, and I mean, that's really funny because you so often make me sit down and watch trailers, and I do it with all the big regiment in the world. And then I say almost always 99% of the time. 99.8% of the time. I'm like, Oh, that was good. Thank you for making me watch that. Did my wheels your fancy doesn't? Wait, did I did I just fall apart at the end of that sentence? My word did my word disappeared. fell off a cliff right there. Like I just my brain just couldn't finish the sentence. Anyway, all right, move on. What's tickling your fancy floating your fancy? Tickling fancies. Alright, go ahead. Um, okay, this is kind of weird, but I Okay, so I love to mow the lawn. And I think I've mowed the lawn on Mother's Day, like many many years in a row or not in a row, but like on many, many mother's days. It's just something that I really like to do. I find a peaceful, I love the smell of cut grass, blah, blah, blah. So this past Mother's Day, I was cutting our lawn and we have this lawn mower that you bought recently. Green Works is the brand and it's eco friendly. It's really quiet but it's really powerful and doesn't use gas you just like recharge the battery. And I cannot tell you how much I love this lawnmower. I just love it. For all the reasons I mentioned. It's just so quiet. And everything smells good. And I love that it's eco friendly. So anyway, I just wanted to give him a shout out Greenworks lawn mower. Well done. Yeah. Okay, what's on deck? What's next for you in the next week or two? Well, let's just do week because then we'll be here with another podcast, and we don't want to give it all away. Well, after we record this, I am hopefully going to be recording what will become the first episode of coach Bennis podcast, we're also working with you is what has inspired me to finally do that podcast you were the push that I needed to Thank you, Coach Bennett, for being my motivation and inspiration to finally work on Coach Bennett podcast. You're so welcome. But this is actually a great example of doing something that feels safer, can lead you to doing the scarier thing, right. So I'm not saying that you're scared of doing the podcast, but maybe. Okay, so but like doing it with me, we have each other to sort of like help each other through we both are taking responsibility of different parts. So it's less complicated and hard, like logistically, and it's just fun to have us both together. So now that you're like, oh, podcasting is actually easier than I thought. It is not as scary as I thought. Now you're ready to go do like the more like the next level. So yeah, it took to coach Bennett's talking for one Coach Bennett to talk by himself. Look at that. Oh, yeah. All right. What about you? What do you got coming up? Okay, I have a boring thing and a fun thing. So the boring thing is, this is so boring, but like it's time consuming. And I'm going to talk about it. Dang it. It is I'm switching over to a new email system, which is I know, but listen, it's much more functional. But it's not as pretty and cute. And so my work this next week is to make it better looking so that I enjoy it more so that I actually do it. And this is just one of those like life lessons work lessons of like finding ways to make it more enjoyable, more fun, more easy. So then you actually want to do it and get it done. So that's like the sort of boring one but I'm going to make it sort of boring one. But I'm going to make it fun with the graphics or whatever I decide the fun. The other fun one is we have a daughter going to prom. And we have our daughters competing in the state championships for Oregon, which we are so so lucky that they get to run their state championship meet in Hayward field. Indeed, do you want to just give like a two sentences about Hayward field just in case there's someone listening that doesn't know the magic of it. Hayward field, if you're a baseball fan would be like the Wrigley Field Fenway Park Yankee Stadium of of track and field facilities or the you know, it's basically the most legendary track in the United States, North America and one of the most legendary and historical venues in the world. It got redone a few years ago. So now it's one of the most beautiful facilities, if not the most beautiful Track and Field facility on the planet. So if you've never seen it, look up so you can get a vibe for both old Hayward field and then new Hayward field. It's on the University of Oregon's campus in Eugene, Oregon. And that is where the Oregon State meet will be at the end of May. So and then if you're really really want to get excited look up email functionality. No, look up how to make emails cute. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot what you see. You're doing one thing. You have to find that fun in it. Oh, in the functionality. Find the fun that functionality? Yes. Great logo slogan. There we go.
