| 0:00.0 | This preview of an upcoming podcast with President Richard Myers, the four-star general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is the president at Kansas State University, is brought to you by Windowworld of Kansas City, online at Windowscansacity.com. |
| 0:16.1 | I just finished an interview with the president of Kansas State University. |
| 0:19.9 | We're putting this podcast together probably in two segments because he was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff |
| 0:24.7 | during 9-11, and it is an amazing story that he's going to tell that you do not want to miss. |
| 0:30.4 | But newsworthy today, I asked the president at Kansas State a question today, if, who's, and he's, |
| 0:36.9 | by the way, very much for playing |

| 1:20.0 | can, we'd like to fulfill those contracts. The players want to play. The players want to play. |
| 1:29.7 | And I would say if you decide not to have football |
| 1:32.7 | and you're not keeping your players busy practicing and so forth, |
| 1:37.8 | they're in bigger danger going out and doing the sort of things they do |
| 1:42.0 | if they didn't have football to prepare for, |
| 1:44.7 | they'd be a bigger danger of getting the virus than having, you know, getting sick. |
| 1:50.0 | So I think it's the safest place for our players, frankly. |
| 1:53.8 | But it's really about them and keeping the program moving forward. |
| 2:00.9 | And it's going to be, you know, we don't know how the season is going to wind up. |
