0:00.0 | Roger. Good to see you again. You too. Thanks for doing this. We have just a little bit |
0:10.8 | of background for our audience. Roger and I have known each other for coming up on |
0:16.8 | a decade. We're sitting at the University of Colorado, which by the way, my wife is an |
0:23.5 | alum and my daughter is as soon to be senior here at the University of Colorado. And for |
0:30.7 | the loyal listener, yes, we're involved. This is so rad to have the professor here. But |
0:41.5 | in all this is actually a very serious conversation. So that is goofy. That is as goofy as I will |
0:45.9 | get. But we've just been, uh, become buddies and I've talked to your class a couple times, |
0:51.8 | which I've really, really enjoyed. Um, it's always fun to, uh, by the way, my daughters |
0:57.1 | never asked me to come speak to her any of her classes. Um, but it's, it's, it's been |

1:26.8 | talking about, which is ethics and sport, uh, primarily doping. Um, but, but, but we have |

1:37.9 | mind and, and an open book and, and, and just let it rip, right? That's the way I prefer. |
1:44.2 | Um, so, so here we are on, on, and of course, when this issue came up for me, and I'll give |
1:50.3 | a little bit of background also for our listener if they haven't tuned into some of the other |
1:54.2 | shows, uh, the issue of, uh, of, of, of trans and sport is, and if anybody is even remotely |
2:03.6 | paying attention, they are, uh, highly attuned to this. Um, it, it is everywhere. It's, |
