0:00.0	No contest. Nothing personal word of the day. Today is Monday, June 28th. Hope you all
0:24.7	had a good weekend. No contest is when something happens to you. Actually, I learned that word
0:31.1	in law school. No contest is you say, Hey, I'm not saying I did it. I'm not saying I didn't do it.
0:37.2	I just don't want to deal with this anymore. I'm not going to contest this. I'm just going to let
0:42.5	the punishment be what you're saying it's going to be. But it's always going to be a tiny bit smaller.
0:47.3	If I say no contest and I don't make the state spend money on a trial investigation, I never wanted
0:56.6	to plead no contest. I've never been arrested actually, but it sort of means that you're acknowledging
1:01.8	what happened. No contest is also used in sports. No contest actually happens if your team stinks,
1:09.6	right? You say, man, this was no contest. We had no chance here. But when a game is not played and one
1:16.7	team is like a forfeit. Of course, I'm talking about the college world series baseball, Omaha,

1:32.8	college world series. Everybody's talked about Vanderbilt and Al Lighter's son Jack and that whole
1:36.9	team and how they are absolutely no doubt going to win the world series. They made it to the world
1:42.9	series when the team they were playing North Carolina state had to forfeit. So I just want to talk
1:48.2	a little bit about that and tell you why it's getting so much negative attention. It's pretty simple
1:54.8	what the leagues are doing and what the NCAA is doing and what NFL MLB every league, everywhere.
2:02.8	Get vaccinated. That's what they're saying. If you're not vaccinated, you are putting yourself and
2:09.2	your team in jeopardy, which happens to be true even if you're not an athlete, but I digress.
2:16.5	So North Carolina state had a positive COVID test. There's testing in Omaha. They're not in a
2:23.2	bubble. They're in a controlled atmosphere. But if you're not vaccinated, you're getting tested
2:28.7	consistently. But they do this rapid tests. They're still doing these antigen rapid tests,
2:34.8	which is shocking to me when PCR tests are available. And I know for a fact, you can get a PCR
