| 0:00.0 | All right. So let's, I want to say a few things about this Colin Kaepernick situation as, |
| 0:06.1 | as you, as you know, I'm sure Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike and their believe in |
| 0:13.0 | something, even if it means sacrificing everything campaign, very inspiring, very inspiring |
| 0:18.7 | stuff. Wait, that is the tagline, right? Yeah, believe in something. Yeah, that's the tagline. |
| 0:21.6 | Um, the, the new commercial was unveiled. I believe it officially debused today, as a matter of fact, |
| 0:29.1 | but there was a sneak peak, a sneak peak of the commercial came out yesterday and it, it, |
| 0:36.2 | so the commercial is, is Kaepernick narrating over images of various athletes doing, |
| 0:45.2 | doing legitimately courageous things like there's one, there's an athlete who's, |

| 1:45.2 | Is that no, that dream's not crazy enough. No, I need crazy your dreams. Yeah. Is that what you |
| 1:50.0 | would tell your kids? Your, your kid says to you, yeah, I want to be a doctor. No, it's not crazy enough. |
| 1:55.2 | I, you need to come back here with crazy your dreams. Okay. I want really crazy dream. Um, okay, |
| 2:00.7 | I want to fly to Mars. There you go. That should be your goal flying the mark. Now, that's a crazy |
| 2:04.8 | dream. Go chase it. Um, anyway, it's all pretty, pretty innocuous. The commercial is innocuous. |
