Welcome to Coach Bennett's podcast, where every run has a purpose, where kindness is

hardcore, where this is about running, and this is not about running, where every starting

line is a finish line in disguise, where rambling still gets you where you need to be,

where pineapple will never ruin your pizza, and the sodas, adult and not adult kind are

always cold, and where there is room on the starting line for everybody.

I'm Coach Bennett.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your day.

Let's get started.

Welcome to episode 76 of Coach Bennett's podcast.

And before we get into this episode, let me just tell you 76, one of my favorite numbers.

And I'm going to tell you one of the reasons why 76 is one of my favorite numbers.

And that's because the quarters that came out in the United States in 1976 celebrating the

bicentennial of the United States.

That's when 1776 to 1976, we had these great quarters that came out.

Super cool. Now, here's the thing, like 20-something years ago, the United States started making

all sorts of different quarters to honor the states, and then they started honoring individual

Americans. So there's all sorts of funky quarters out there. But back then, no, there was just

one quarter. And then they made a special

quarter in 1976. And who let me just tell you, I never, ever used those quarters. Never. So if I came

across one of them, stayed in my pocket. I'm not going to use it, even if I'm at an arcade.

And I'm playing really well. And it's like, you need to add another quarter if you want

to keep going.
