But are you able to say like when these little kind of spats start happening and lattice gets chucked in the middle of some little storm, are you always able to think this seems like a lot right now, but in a week it will have blown over? Or do you kind of find yourself getting quite stressed? Because I'd imagine in the moment it's quite overwhelming.
38:01
Yeah, I would say...
38:03
In the moment, it can feel like a lot.
38:07
And when I say in the moment, probably like on the day.
38:13
But generally, yeah, like after a day, I do remind myself a lot of the time that it's, The 1% often have the loudest voice, maybe not even 1%, 0.1%.
38:30
I do remind myself of the whole thing of actually of some really unreasonable things that are going on here.
38:36
My friends, work colleagues, other athletes will generally send me a message and say, I think you were wrong on that or you should probably wind your neck in or whatever it might be.

49:09
You are,
49:10
you know, the proudest thing.

I think I told you guys this earlier, Arnie Gardy and I were the two original members of the modern day letter winners club.
49:19
That's awesome.
49:20
I was in the mid nineties.
49:21
There wasn't a letter winners club and Arnie and I got together and we're sitting there in the Olson building and, figuring out how we're going to get people to join and how much and to see what it evolved to.
49:34
That's probably my proudest Iowa State feat.
52:47
Yeah, it's tough.
