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 1999.

Actually, it's not 1999.

Although it would be cool at some point to get to episode 1999. I mean, that's nuts. If somebody out

there wants to do the math and figure out what year it would be to get to episode 1999, if we

did one episode a week. And let's throw in like three or four extra episodes a year.

How long would it take for us to get to episode 1999?

And listen, if we want to go crazy, let's pretend, oh my gosh, how funny is that?

And I did not plan that.

Let me just tell you, I went with 1999 singing a little bit

of Prince's song, obviously 1999 from his album that came out in 1982, oddly enough, but was

actually inspired by him watching a documentary on Nostradamus, which, you know, then led to him thinking like, all right, well, let's write a

song about, you know, the end of the world. And I'll tell you what, end of the world sounds

really good if you listen to 1999. But the point is, I just said, let's go crazy. And that's

another Prince song, not from his album, 1999, which also had the song, 1999, and Little Red Corvette and Delirious and a couple other ones.
