coach chris bennett:books?
coach tammie bennett:No, we're not talking about that. All right,
coach chris bennett:well, we'll talk about everything but fantasy and sci fi books.
tammie bennett:So sit back or keep moving because it's time to start talking.
coach chris bennett:On today's episode of to coach Bennett's talking, we'll be talking about the 100 foot wave. Tammy getting sick and losing her voice and Chris gaining some bliss as a result PBX in PDX. How we fall in love with different sports. As always, we've got our petty grievances. We even talk about our bucket list races, and the difference between an earthquake and an aftershock some useless knowledge there for you. So let's get started.
tammie bennett:Welcome back, Coach Bennett.
coach chris bennett:Thanks for having me back. I guess I don't need to say that because it's just as much mine as it is yours, right? Or is it really it's 51% Yours.
tammie bennett:Welcome back.
coach chris bennett:Why? Why do we have to start over?
tammie bennett:Because we don't need to put that in. That's jibber jabber.
coach chris bennett:I'm taking my 50% vote and then keep it in. Okay. And now we're at a stalemate. What are you up to? How was your week?
tammie bennett:My week involved me sitting on a couch and watching a lot of Gilmore Girls because I was sick for either seven or eight days and lost my voice for a few of those which was endless bliss for you. Surprisingly frustrating for me. I think you don't realize how much you talk how much your voice is important until you lose it.
coach chris bennett:I think I know exactly how much you talk.
tammie bennett:So what's up with you? How was your week?
coach chris bennett:It was great. There was a it was a lot of quiet in the house, which was just fantastic. I'm trying to pinpoint why. But it just seemed really peaceful. And this sounds terrible. But when I asked you, What have you been up to? I had already forgotten that you had been sick for like seven or eight days.
tammie bennett:Yeah, well, it's because I'm back to life now and I've been
coach chris bennett:reinvigorated. Yeah, reanimated. Yeah. Reborn.
tammie bennett:So what are we going to talk about today?
coach chris bennett:You want to go straight into the meat and taters and skip over what I've been up to?
tammie bennett:Well, you said it was quiet and you forgot that I was sick?
coach chris bennett:Yeah, I guess I did. I already forgot what my answer was.
tammie bennett:Well, we did Oregon relays, or Twilight relays. We did Twilight relays, you can talk about that.
coach chris bennett:Yes, there was a great trackmate that we got to go to down the street, which was fantastic, different vibe this year as there was a heavy focus on every athlete. So they have a tally going of how many personal bests or PBS were being set over the course of the meet. So a lot of times you believe any sporting event you'd kind of focus on, you know, the people that are finishing first and second and third are winning. And for this one, it was really a celebration of anyone who had done a lifetime best. And I think by the end of the meat there were over 360 lifetime bests. So that was, that was cool end. The cherry on top of the fact that it was not raining in Portland, it was sunny and warm.
tammie bennett:Yeah, that was amazing. And yeah, 360 different. Maybe not different kids, but different events that had a personal best, because some kids could have gotten more than one PB.
coach chris bennett:Yes. And that was the that was the unofficial tally. I think probably the official tally was was well over 360. But it was probably pushing up on 375 or 400. So yeah, it's amazing. If you actually think about it, the fact that in the course of a couple of hours, a bunch of kids were able to do something that they practiced that that they had never ever done better. How cool is that?
tammie bennett:So cool. This is a little bit off topic but kind of on topic. I always grew up saying PR until I met you so personal record till I met you and then I just sort of evolved over into PB even though I still like PR better. But I think when we release this episode, it would be fun to do a poll to see what most people call it whether it's a PR personal record or a PB personal best.
coach chris bennett:I think you're right though I think most people call it PR but I think most people are wrong on this. I think personal best means something so much more powerful. And a PB obviously can mean a lot of a lot of different things. But like I better we were the big could mean peanut butter. Yes. Or Peaky Blinders. But yeah, there's just, I have a couple more episodes of that left. That's why it's on my mind. But when I was in high school, which is really the age that a lot of people were introduced to the sport, we were the only team because our coach referred to them as PBS. We were the only team I knew of. They refer to them as PBS and prs. Yeah, so it stuck with me, but I'm a big PB fan. Yeah, I'm to the side of PBS. So if you do vote, I don't we don't want to. Yeah,
tammie bennett:we just totally another, we totally just
coach chris bennett:do that. But PBS is the right answer. And there is no way I shouldn't say there's no right answer. There's a wrong answer. And it's PR. But don't feel like there's a right answer.
tammie bennett:Okay. Let's talk about the main topic of the day.
coach chris bennett:If this one came out of nowhere, didn't it? Yeah. A little bit like a rogue wave a little bit.
tammie bennett:Is that a hint?
coach chris bennett:I don't know, what are we talking about?
tammie bennett:So we're not going to always be talking about something that we're watching on TV. But this time we are, as we did last time. This time the show is called is the 100 foot wave or just 100 foot wave?
coach chris bennett:I think it's just 100 foot wave. Yeah, but while you're giving a little bit of some backstory on it, I'll look up and see if it's the or just 100 foot wave.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So yeah, we're only two episodes in. So I feel kind of funny talking about a show that we've only watched two episodes out of, it's there's two seasons now. But it was so impactful. And it was it's one of those movies that we would have shown at our high school, sleepaway camps that we used to run. We used to have a movie night on one of the nights at our camp and something kind of impactful about sports, something about inspirational. And I think this would have been a perfect fit.
coach chris bennett:I agree. And by the way, it's 100 foot wave, the number 100 foot wave. So it's not spelled out either, just so no, though. It starts with the actual numerals 100 foot wave.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So so far, it's just about this one surfer who is on this quest to ride a 100 foot wave. And it's obviously that's like, as they say, going down the side of at least eight foot tall, sorry, eight storey building, which I cannot even imagine, I have a little bit of fear of heights. So it just makes me feel sick a little bit. Some of the video just makes me feel a little bit sick to see how tall the wave is, and how powerful it is compared to this one tiny little speck of a man. But yeah, so let's talk about why you want to talk about it.
coach chris bennett:I'm just gonna add on to the wave, the size of 100 foot wave, which we haven't seen yet. But the just the mass and the size and the power and just the fury of the ocean, when it's producing a wave of the size is it is awe inspiring. It is. It's cool, because there's so many things going on in the show. One is I think you have to walk away just in awe of nature, which is really cool. But the other thing is, it seems like there's always these crazy, at least it comes across initially as a crazy risk taking. Weirdo. And then I think one of the aspects we always love is then when you kind of peel back a little bit, the crazy is, is really well thought out. And there's a ton of discipline and a lot of training. And a lot of respect, which I think as an outsider, you don't realize how much respect these people have for their sport. And what they're trying to do, they're not going in just saying like, Hey, I've, I've only done the choppy surf and you know, Florida, three to five, three to five foot waves. Now I'm gonna go and try to do 100 foot wave. I don't know why that's a surfer voice. But I've that's what I'm going with. That's the opposite. They respect their sport, which is one of the things I always loved about seeing these things.
tammie bennett:So we were talking before we started recording about how much it reminded me of Alex Honnold in free solo, where it's this, you know, definitely, like literally, it's like a life and death kind of undertaking. But they are so prepared, that they they still feel the fear, but they do something about it. They just have this confidence in themselves. They have belief in themselves for being able to accomplish this because they are so prepared. So you see them writing in notebooks and measuring and calculating and talking to a scientist and looking at weather and talking to weather men and film crews and safety crews. And what are we going to do if somebody falls or somebody gets hurt? I'm talking about both shows right now, these things were shown in both of them. And just prepared for sort of every possible outcome. And there's just something so powerful about that, and the way that you said respect for the sport. And I think it's also respect for themselves and how they're showing up as an athlete and as a record breaker, how they're showing up for them selves who are doing something for the first time that a human has done it. And just to have that much belief in yourself that you can do this thing that no other human on the planet has done. Or, I mean, maybe even attempted, I don't know if other people have attempted it. I'm not going to speak to that. But is that amazing that you can believe in yourself that much?
coach chris bennett:Yes. And it takes a lot of effort to, which is I think the other thing that we love, I'm trying to look up the name of the movie, we did show the sleepaway camp of Danny way, who's a skateboarder member, and he tried, he was trained to jump over the Great Wall of China. And anyway, well, we'll, we'll find it. But that was another one where I think sometimes this is our ignorance of the sports, kind of these extreme sports, things like skateboarding, or free soloing, which is the rock climbing without any safety gear for big wave surfing, that you can forget just how extraordinary These athletes are, and how extraordinary they are then within their own sport, and how seriously they take it. And at the same time, and this is what I always, I always think we get wrong. Sometimes when we introduce a sport to somebody, it's If you respect the sport, or if you learn the sport, or if you teach the sport, where if you're serious about the sport that it robs it of, it's fun. And I think sometimes when you're not respecting the sport, or you think that teaching people about the sport, or you know, being serious, not in a way that's robbing it of fun, if nothing else, it's bringing more passion more fun into it. I just I love seeing that the deeper people get into the sport, sometimes, the deeper in love they get, and the more fun they have.
tammie bennett:Yeah, I think it's interesting for me because my way in to learning about new sports is through a an athlete. So it's me seeing their story on the internet or on TV and like the the just showing their personality and showing like the goofy parts and showing the really studious parts and showing them overcoming hard things. I think, like for me, I'm so like, that's why we're watching f1 now is because we watched drive is it drive to survive? Yes, on Netflix, and we got introduced to these f1 racing drivers. And we became huge fans of them as people because they're so devoted to their sport. And then we got to know them as people and just the characters that they are. And so now we're like so into f1. And we're like, you know, I think it's time they should change the tires. They should take a pitstop and it's like, who are we? But right, but so I think for me, the entryway into knowing so much about the sports and learning about them is through a specific athlete and just getting to know the human side of it.
coach chris bennett:Yeah. Now let me ask you this, do you find that your way into understanding the sport, then continues to go through the athlete? Or will you then kind of go off on your own and try to learn about the sports you can enjoy what the athlete you're now interested in is doing? Like, how does that work? Because you've I've seen it happen with you, where you get interested in the humans. But then suddenly, you learn more and more about what the humans are doing. So you you want to know a little bit more about the rules. You want to know a little bit more about the history of the sport. I've seen
tammie bennett:it with baseball, I was just gonna say for sure in baseball. Yeah, I've
coach chris bennett:seen it with f1 now so what what is that next step? Because I think it's, it's very similar to how someone probably the humans that you are watching, it's probably the same for them. It's probably somebody they knew, and were interested in and had fun with. And that's what got them into the sport. And then they started to fall in love with the sport and not just the sports people but how does it work for you?
tammie bennett:Yeah, I think it's probably did I think it probably becomes I was gonna say like a chicken and egg situation. But that's not true. I think it just becomes like the spiral where I just get more involved. But I have to tell you if some of these athletes who I have fallen in love with if they left the sport on some of these sports, I wouldn't be as interested. So like if you take Tour de France, for example, which we used to wake up at five in the morning to watch it live back in the Lance Armstrong days. I'm gonna put a little asterix there and we don't have to go into that deep hole. But you know, when he left the sport, we didn't watch it that much more maybe one more season because there We're still some other characters and athletes that we knew. So yeah, I think for me, I think for me personally, I have to have that human, not human. That's a spice, human connection, right? Like I have to have the people that I'm interested in, and then the more that they're around, the more I want to watch it. So therefore, then I learn more about the sport because I've entrenched in it. So how many games of Yankees baseball did we watch last year? Want to say?
coach chris bennett:Probably close to 155? You know, I mean, probably over that, because we watched some spring training. So we'll say we'll say over 160. There's only 162 games in the regular season, there's probably 25 In spring training, and then the Yankees didn't go far in the playoffs. So they probably had 185 games of which we watched 160.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So because I know so many of these Yankee players. That's why I wanted to stick around and watch it. And then as I'm watching it, I'm hearing the commentators that I'm asking you questions, and I'm learning so much more about it. And John boy, and like, you know, you know, commentators of the sport. So I think for me, I have to have that the link is that human connection, and that amazing athlete and the characters of the sport, what does it for you?
coach chris bennett:I think it depends on the sport, and just how deep a man I think there's, there's some sports now where I can kind of show up if I've been away. And just enjoy watching the sport, even if I don't know the characters, but there's absolutely no doubt, I enjoy watching sports more, if I have some type of a connection with the people I'm watching. I think in and I'll give you like an example. It I'll even enjoy watching a running race. I don't have to know the person. But if I know what the person is trying to do, that's all I need to know. So if I know there's a barrier, and it's a time i It's like if you hang out at the end of a marathon, and you get close to like the three hour, the four hour, the five hour mark, obviously everyone's getting excited, because they know everyone coming down straightaway is looking at the clock, and they like to break the barrier. So I don't even know who you are. But I will cheer wildly for that. So I understand kind of the sport, the same thing that a high school meet, maybe it's five minutes in the mile or six minutes in the mile or sub 60 and a 400. You know, there's all these little things where I know it probably is meaningful for the for the athlete. So I it's, I know enough about the sport to understand what's exciting for the human without knowing really anything about the human. But if I know the bigger picture, then yeah, I'm definitely 100% going to enjoy the sport more, which is interesting now that you've brought it up that way that we will love a sport more if we know more about the humans playing the sport. Yeah, which just seems obvious. But you know, you're a basketball fan. Well, you mean the joy and the excitement you get when you are watching family play basketball or friends play by play basketball or your favorite team play basketball is different than when you asked a bunch of people at a park playing. Even though the quality of play could be better at the park amongst people you don't know. You probably have more fun watching a bunch of five year olds if your niece and nephew are playing. So that's a it's not so much the quality really as much as the maybe the quality of your relationship with the people.
tammie bennett:Yeah. I love that. And I think that's, you know, we just kind of circle it back to where we started. So we can like wrap this section up with the 100 foot wave. Garrett is the the main surfer that we've gotten to know like we're besties basically now with him on Episode Two and his wife, Nicole. But yeah, I think that's one of the reasons why we are so entrenched in this now is because we've seen how dedicated he is how much belief he has, how much he has to visualize and meditate and find calm and find belief in addition to all the technical things where he's out there practicing and teaching people how to ride the jetski and practicing safe safety and all these things. So yeah, I think Garrett and his wife Nicola, a big reason why we're so into the show.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, and I'm just, we can wrap it up here. I was gonna say it's also fascinating to me how there's always that it's usually in the first two or three episodes where they give you a little background on the person. And you suddenly like, oh, okay, I understand a little bit about their behavior now.
tammie bennett:Where the drive comes from?
coach chris bennett:Yeah, where the drive comes from or where kind of the blind spots are, you know, in some of their decision making or what, what their needs are, you know, what holes are they trying to fill up? And I think I mean, I know I do this about myself. Definitely. You kind of tend to discount that when you're When you're listening or paying attention to someone else, you realize like, oh, all this stuff kind of makes up who you are. And then sometimes you can forget to do that for yourself. All right, we can. We can move on a lot of life lessons from 100 foot wave
tammie bennett:sports in general, I would say.
coach chris bennett:I would say you're right. I would agree with you.
tammie bennett:Yeah. Yeah. Okay, we took it up high. Let's take it down low. Let's talk about our petty grievance.
coach chris bennett:Did you go first or last last time?
tammie bennett:I think I went last. I'm ready to go first. I got one on the on the ready.
coach chris bennett:This is Yeah. This is why you want to wrap up the other section. All right, let's go. What's your petty grievance towards me?
tammie bennett:Oh, it doesn't have to be towards you. And this one actually is not towards you. This is when I go into our food cabinets. And I will pull out a delicious tasty snack and the container feels super light, suspiciously light. And I look inside and there's nothing in there. So for instance, the bag of almond m&ms. I think about them, I go get that on a break from doing work. And there's literally one in the bag. Like who leaves one in the bag or who leaves a completely empty bag, which is also a common occurrence in our house. So that's my petty grievance, just throw away the package. Don't give me that like second of like false hope of were like, here it is the treat I've been so waiting for. Don't do it to me.
coach chris bennett:I get it. This is definitely needs to be filed towards your daughters though. The ones that do that. And I will say this though. I agree with a petty grievance towards an empty bag. Number one, number two. Almond m&ms are gross. So there's so good. It's just somebody pouring them into the trash. And then three, leaving one single Almond m&m is one of the funniest things I've ever
tammie bennett:heard. So mean, it's just so mean.
coach chris bennett:I think that is badass. That's hilarious.
tammie bennett:It's one particular daughter of ours. And in what am I saying? It's one particular daughter of ours. It's the culprit. So she also will oftentimes leave like the tiniest piece of ice cream in the carton. Like it's like not enough to fill up a tablespoon. Or maybe it's a tablespoon, fine. But like really, really like you couldn't just eat that last bite. I think it's just so they can like claim. I didn't finish it. It's so mean,
coach chris bennett:I think. I think that is genuinely hilarious. And if I had enough cruelty in my body, I would do that consistently. And just laugh because I've walked away knowing at some point, someone's going to open up the container of ice cream, and there's going to be a morsel tucked in the corner. And without any luck, the little bit. You know, ice burned,
tammie bennett:which is oh gosh, the frostbitten bite. That's awful.
coach chris bennett:Yeah. Yeah. The ultimate indignity. So that is hilarious.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So file that one away. What's your petty grievance?
coach chris bennett:Your minds? It's towards you? Well, actually, no, I can all include all include everyone. On this one. I cook. I do. Pretty much all the cooking will say 99.43% of the cooking in a given year, in this house every year. Okay, it is become more rampant that I now have to come up with what I need to cook every night. And then I'll hear like, Well, you never pick and it's like, I I have to cook. So if I say I don't want to pick, just tell me what you all want me because what I hear is both does. I'll get either text messages, or I'll get asked in this odd tone like, um, do you know what's for dinner? No, I don't. I don't know what all of you want me to make for dinner? Will you will you never decide? Well, let me just ask you this. Why was listen, I should not need to decide if I should be able to say whatever I want. When it comes to the meal. You don't go into a restaurant, and then walk into the kitchen and tell the chef What am I eating tonight? Now tell the chef what you want, and they'll cook it for you.
tammie bennett:That's actually a really valid argument. It kind of makes me not want to argue back but I was gonna say what makes you not want to choose the food like let's just take away the issue of cooking like why don't you want to decide the food?
coach chris bennett:Because I just it's easier for me to just come in. And nosier that's why is it gone? I might have an adult soda. And I'm going to just cook. I don't I don't need to then go because believe me. It's not a unanimous decision. Everyone has a different thing they want. So just tell me. I don't want to go around to one room and say what do you want? then hear one thing and then go into the next room. Okay, well, here's, here's what person in room A wants a person in room B wants something else. And then personal rooms, he says, I don't really care. So I'll have whatever. And that's not true. So just tell me what you want. So I don't have to be wandering around the house, like this nomadic chef trying to figure out what what everybody wants to eat that night. Just tell me, I'll cook it.
tammie bennett:Part of the problem is that we have a house full of picky eaters, but they're picky in different ways. And so it's very hard to find foods that all of us like so what I would ask the dear listeners to do is our Pio Box address will be in the show notes. Can you like send us a recipe or some suggestions for food? That would be great. And that will help coach Chris Bennett out dramatically,
coach chris bennett:your whitelist and send us some recipes. Okay, just so if you send
tammie bennett:them to us, then we can like kind of sorting through them and then give them to you. So it's really it helps everyone.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, I guess so.
tammie bennett:So thank you ahead of time. Speaking of the mailbag. Let's open a letter from the mailbag.
coach chris bennett:Let me just reach into the burlap sack. gone through all the letters.
tammie bennett:It's blocking out that sound totally. You might as well pick it up. Yeah.
coach chris bennett:Well, there was gonna be a noise of me ruffling through a whole bunch of letters. But now you think
tammie bennett:it's probably fine that you can add it. there anyway. So yeah, this letter is from Melissa Sears. And she actually sent it to me quite a while ago, and I just never answered it. But it was, what is your bucket list race? So I'll go and answer it. Since I'm just right here. My bucket list race is the western states 100. So that takes place in California, it's 100 mile race. And my grandpa used to go and volunteer at it year after year after year, he had some amazing shirts. So someday, I would like to run it and complete it. But I'm very, very far from that right now. But I can have dreams. What's your bucket list? Race balls away
coach chris bennett:from it? Yeah, exactly. Oberlin brunch. Um, this is a tough one for me. I'm going to mention a race. And it's not so much that I want to do this race, but I want to do a race that has the same kind of vibe. So this could be another mailbag request of send me kind of races, if you know of any like this. So there's a race called the Dipsy. And that's also in California, I believe. And I know it just has a lot of stairs that you have to climb like in like instead of trails or like, kind of like stairs through the trails. And the reason why I'm thinking of this is because recently, I saw and it's a race, I want to say it's in Spain, I'm probably wrong, but it's a cross country race. But it goes through, like a house and a building. And then you go back on the trails. And I remember seeing a video of it. I want to say maybe Rob de Costello, who was a great Australian marathoner. You got me a series of VHS tapes of like old running movies. Remember, this was like 20 years ago. And on there was this kind of documentary on Rob de castella, and it had him running this bizarre cross country race and I want to say it was in Spain, but it was in somewhere in Europe, and part of the race literally had them going through like a living room, and like out a front door, and then onto a trail. I just thought something ridiculous. would be a lot of fun. You know what I mean? Something completely ridiculous where you're not really training in a specific way for it. It's just a little combination of a challenge and total nonsense.
tammie bennett:So why wouldn't you just do the reason Spain?
coach chris bennett:Bull because I couldn't was like stuck in the back of my head. So when I brought up Dipsy it kind of released the race in Spain. So I I think that was the real race I wanted to say, but I couldn't think of it until I got Dipsy out so Dipsy was just blocking this race in Spain. So I guess the race in Spain, I don't even know if it's open to the public. It might just be elites that do it. But since it's a bucket list,
tammie bennett:I'll put maybe he was just stealing something running away from the cops.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, who is a like a scene from like, been caught stealing but Jane's Addiction or Raising Arizona, where it's like that crazy camera that's like in front of the guy running. It was something like that. So you're right. Maybe I was I had a fever and it was one of those things and I made up this entire thing. Maybe
tammie bennett:was just like a movie. You were just watching a movie.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, during a fever, because Rob Deacon still had a big mustache. And was this you running through a house? Why would it? Why would he be doing this? Yeah, this could just be some really repressed memory of why are people chasing me through a house and they're all wearing filming it is really weird. Anyway, next for the mailbag. If you have some footage of me being chased through a house, and I think it's a actual race, please send it to the mailbag. Yeah, don't tell anyone about it. And I will burn the one copy.
tammie bennett:But also send your questions we would love to answer your questions on our podcast. So look in the show notes for the address and send us a mail, or some stickers or candy or cash, books, DVDs, metals, ribbons, whatever you want. I'm just giving you options. You don't have to send all of it or any of it. I'm just I like to give options.
coach chris bennett:It's not it's not a bag of trinkets for you. It's supposed to be a mail bag.
tammie bennett:Well, it comes in the mail and it's
coach chris bennett:DVDs. Don't send us DVD,
tammie bennett:you can send us vinyl records. The cooler the cover, the better.
coach chris bennett:Or the better the music, the better. But the cool cover is cool, too. But listen, I have a lot of DVDs, and I don't have the wherewithal to throw them away or give them away. So I don't need any more. Please don't send me any DVDs. In fact, I just have to bring it up because I think about it all the time. I got to a point remember where I bought the cell?
tammie bennett:Or no it was? Yes, it was so yeah.
coach chris bennett:Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Lopez direct. Yeah, the guy who did the REM video for losing my religion. totally creepy. The zero reason to buy this we saw it in the movie theater because we used to see all the movies in the theater. Absolutely no reason to buy this other than I was walking around Blockbuster and I didn't know what to do. So I just bought it. Never watched it. Never thought about watching it again. And every time I go down there. I think if I just had been smarter and wiser with some of my money, I'd be able to fly to Spain and run some mythical cross country race that involves me breaking into someone's house.
tammie bennett:Exactly. Alright, let's talk about what's floating or fancy. And what's floating my fancy.
coach chris bennett:Okay, well, I'll start since you started the petty grievances. I'll start the floating fantasies. Right now. My floating fancy are candy cigarettes. And it's because I've one candy cigarette left in the carton because it's not a carton, it would be a pack of candy cigarettes that you brought back to me from New York City. I've got one left. And I'm starting to get the shakes. And I don't know what I'm going to do and I only have one left. I think I'll do what I always do, which is just not have them for a long time and forget about them until you get me another pack of candy cigarettes. But I will say I did walk around the house with a candy cigarette draped out of my mouth. Looking like a tough guy. Like the Marlboro Man and yeah, and then I just chew it up. Marlboro Man never ate his cigarettes. So he's just like a tough. Yeah, so candy cigarettes. That's my this week's floating fancy. So if a candy cigarette maker wants to sponsor me, huh, look me
tammie bennett:up. Now it'd be a fun poster to do a photo shoot for
coach chris bennett:Yeah, that's right. confused a lot of people then. Yeah, fine print. But maybe it's not the best sponsorship deal.
tammie bennett:I don't know if Nike Running with like that. Oh, Candy
coach chris bennett:cigarettes. Think of the alternative a real cigarette. I mean, it's a step up. Go
tammie bennett:with candy any day?
coach chris bennett:Yeah. All right. What about you? What's floating your fancy
tammie bennett:thing for my fantasy right now is this sounds so basic, but I'm just telling you like it is the New York Times crossword puzzle app. So I basically talked about this on one of my podcast episodes where I always told myself I was not a crossword puzzle doer, thought they were too hard and I am working my way up. And it's just been a lot of fun and it makes me feel kind of, you know, a little bit smart and accomplished. I have not completed a Sunday puzzle. I have not attempted a Sunday puzzle yet, but I'm working my way up slowly but surely having fun.
coach chris bennett:Could you maybe tell our listeners a little bit about the difference between let's say a Monday puzzle and a Sunday puzzle because I was unaware of this until a few years ago and I think it's fascinating.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So Monday is the easiest to Solve supposedly, well it is but and as the days go through the week, it gets progressively harder until Sunday is like the king queen puzzle, the hardest to solve. That was another documentary that we watched. I forgot the name of it, but it was really good documentary about crossword puzzle solvers, doers. And I, every time I talk about crosswords, I have to bring up my cousin Parker. He is super smart, loves doing puzzles. And he has actually had several of his crossword puzzles published in the New York Times. I want to say, I'm not gonna say I don't remember which days of the week he has had published, but that's just really cool. And he's also entered several competitions, and he's one of the top 50 or 100 crossword puzzle doers in the country. So anyway, yeah. It's been my thing. Hey,
coach chris bennett:I've got an idea for another section. Okay, we should have a top 10 list. Every episode, and it's five of yours and five of mine because I was just thinking we could easily come up with top 10 documentaries we've ever seen.
tammie bennett:It's top 10 different thing each episode, like so today would be documentaries.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, but it won't be today cuz we're not prepared. But next time we could do like the top five documentaries you've ever seen five from you five from the end. They can I guess. We can have maybe sometimes it's not even the top 10 Because we we crossover. Sometimes we're picking the same same thing. Maybe. You know, we're we're just on just waiting for Tammie to finish sneezing. Ooh, it's a double sneeze. It's always a double sneeze with her. If if, if you know and you're prepared, you realize that the first one is just kind of like harking just let it letting everyone know like there's another one coming like there's always an aftershock here I'm gonna give you actually you know what? You don't even have an aftershock. Usually your second sneeze is stronger than your first sneeze. Did you Did I did I talked last time about the difference between an earthquake and an aftershock. Did I already do that? I feel like useless knowledge that I'm just been like trying to spread like Johnny Appleseed. So I'm going to do it anyway. The difference between an earthquake and an aftershock, most people think well an aftershock is just what happens next? No. It's only called an aftershock if it's a smaller earthquake than the original earthquake. If it's larger, it's a new earthquake. Hmm, it's called an earthquake. So an aftershock is just a smaller by measurement on the Richter scale of the initial earthquake. So if you'd like a six earthquake, and then it's a five nine, it's an aftershock. But if it's a six one, it's another earthquake.
tammie bennett:What if it's a six it's tied.
coach chris bennett:I thought we're gonna get out of here. So I was like, I don't have the answer for that. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they go to the like, it's like a sprint. They go to the 10th. The Hunt? No, I guess they already
tammie bennett:maybe it'll just be which comes first. So the second one would be the aftershock just because it came second.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, could be Can I ask you a question? Before we leave? And do what's on deck chicken in the egg? You used that earlier? What do you think comes first?
tammie bennett:Yeah, it's so interesting, isn't it?
coach chris bennett:I don't know if it's that interesting. But it is a stupid question.
tammie bennett:It makes me think of when you sometimes travel, and when the kids are little, that's when I would have to cook and I would you the before and after special. And that would be some rotisserie chicken and hard boiled eggs.
coach chris bennett:That sounds horrible.
tammie bennett:But isn't that funny that I called it before and after special?
coach chris bennett:Yes, yes. It was very funny. I think what was most funny was how liberal the kids probably enjoyed the meal.
tammie bennett:Yeah, we also did the daddy's away special, which was rotisserie chicken and cheese potatoes. Notice how all of them have rotisserie chicken because I don't have to cook. I can just go by it.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, that's for kids. Yes. Free chickens. Good.
tammie bennett:Yeah. So are we talking about what we got coming up?
coach chris bennett:Yes. What do we have coming up? You go first.
tammie bennett:So at the time of recording we have coming up. One of our daughter is turning 16. So that's going to be fun and exciting. Our son is going to be running in his conference championships at college, the hips, he's going to be running the 1500. He's also going to be finishing up his sophomore year of college and coming back home. We might have the girls might have a race this weekend. We have a lot going on family stuff, a lot of kind of family events. Sighting Yeah,
coach chris bennett:I was asking about you. What do you have going on? Assuming this is coming out the middle of May I know that you're going to be smack dab in the middle of your dare course.
tammie bennett:Yes. So I'm giving Yes. So I'm giving everybody in my course a deer a day, for this entire month of May. It's really fun.
coach chris bennett:That rhymed. What are you? Yes, yeah. Dara day in the month of May. And I'm excited I'm taking part in this. Yes, I really need it. I really need it. I'm gonna need, I want the momentum of that kind of attitude. It's actually kind of fitting considering we've been watching 100 foot wave. Because it is one of those things. I loved the line that he said. Actually, it wasn't even GARRETT MCNAMARA was someone else in there said, every time you get on this wave, you're, you're like prepared to die. And then you get through it. And you have to prepare to die again. And I don't it doesn't have to be that literal, but just this idea of, you know, taking this risk. And then you get through it. And then you have to be okay with continuing to take risks. I don't know. I like it. Yeah, I don't know if that works or not, but
tammie bennett:Sure does. Alright, what do you have coming up?
coach chris bennett:I'm super excited about having a really good may, may may be my favorite month. I'm a big fan of May. It's to me, it's like the birth of spring and all of those things. And I feel like I'm rhyming almost in every sentence. So I'm gonna stop. But I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to a really good month of being outside as much as possible. And I'm coming up on my five year anniversary from my running streak at the end of May.
tammie bennett:Oh, that's amazing. The big one. Yeah. Tell people a little bit more about that. In case they don't know.
coach chris bennett:Well, almost five years ago, I decided to run it. Every day in June. I started at the end of May when I was in Albuquerque speaking with a group called the wings of America. And it just went well, in June, I had a five minute minimum. Because I tried to do some not so much streaks, but get some consistency going in the past. And I would give myself these floors of like, well, I gotta run at least 5k or two miles. And I realized that was that was too much for me personally to ask. I said, I can do five minutes, I can go out two and a half minutes and come back. And I did it all the way through June. And then it just went through July and it just kept going. And it no point was I trying to start a streak. I just knew that if I could be consistently running, I would consistently keep running. And it has just turned into this thing. Where at the end of May from still going it'll be five years.
tammie bennett:So good. I love it so much. That's all streaks are kind of happened right one day at a time.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, absolutely. 100%. And having been someone who never really had a streak of anything before. That is the Absolute Truth. One day, at a time. Not yesterday, and not tomorrow. Today.
tammie bennett:I was gonna say that's why I have a today tattoo on my wrist. And that exact reason. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Today.
coach chris bennett:That could be another show. What should the next tattoo be? I don't know if we want to leave that up to the mailbag. Sure. You know?
tammie bennett:Sure, you know, send it we don't have to get it. Nobody's forcing us to get it. That would be terrible. That'd be terrifying. But send us your tattoo ideas. Amazing.
coach chris bennett:You have to reach in and just grab a random letter.
tammie bennett:Now there's been people that have done that. Like they'll have like tattoo ideas like in a jar and they like pull one out. And that's what they have to get. I think they're drunk when they do it. But still, it's a thing.
coach chris bennett:Yeah, that's no thank you. Seems like someone that wants this even Jackass would have done. Oh, for sure. Go. Probably did when we got a tattoo once in a car, like on a bumpy road.
tammie bennett:You know, thanks. Anyway. All right.
coach chris bennett:On that note, yeah. Good times.
tammie bennett:Thanks for spending time with us. And we'll see you next week. We won't see you. That would be weird. But

tammie bennett:this, this is the worst, like so when we talk to our son in college when we talk to them at night. We say goodnight. And then inevitably someone brings up one more thing and it's like the longest most drawn out goodbye process. And I want to just cut this one shorter than that. Let's just call it a day. Let's just end it. Thank you for coming. And you'll hear us next
coach chris bennett:week hard to say goodbye. So hard to say I'm sorry to What song is that? Who says that? Is that we're talking about what we're doing right now. Yeah. Okay. All right.
