<v Speaker 1>Jary, Katie, and Josh. I have an observation and something

<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about, Okay. I like to do

<v Speaker 1>these little things where I bring up, you know, things

<v Speaker 1>I hear and see and we discuss it on the air.

<v Speaker 1>We've got a sister station next door, Altitude ninety two

<v Speaker 1>five Great station Sports Sports all day. Yeah, points and stats,

<v Speaker 1>points and stats, talking about them baseball bats that the altitude.

<v Speaker 1>There's a guy over there named I don't even know

<v Speaker 1>his name, Mixed Soundbar or something, mixed sandwich. Yeah, Mike

<v Speaker 1>that's his name, not the Mixed Soundbar. I don't see

<v Speaker 1>him a lot, okay, because he's on after us. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>so over there, Yeah, I don't get to see him

<v Speaker 1>a lot. So I will say, like, I hear him

<v Speaker 1>come in because we'll be doing something, you know, and

<v Speaker 1>I'll hear him come in the front doors. And so

<v Speaker 1>Mixed Soundbar was a co for see you. He's the

<v Speaker 1>coach of Valor. Yeah, and everyone here calls him coach.

<v Speaker 2>Huh, hey, everybody calls him coach.

<v Speaker 1>You see him in the kitchen or something. Coach, what's up? Coach? Hey, coach,

<v Speaker 1>coach this coach that we're in an all staff meeting coach.

<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts on this?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>And then mixed soundbars speaks up and says his peace,

<v Speaker 1>Mike Stanford, Mike Sandford, whatever, And uh, I'm uncomfortable by this.

<v Speaker 2>You don't like that they call him coach.

<v Speaker 1>I don't like that they call him coach. And I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you right now, I'm never gonna call him coach.

<v Speaker 2>I don't see you calling him coach.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, coach. Just good to see you, coach. We never

<v Speaker 1>cross paths. How are you coach? Why in the world

<v Speaker 1>would I call this guy coach? And why is everyone

<v Speaker 1>else in this building calling him coach? I think call

<v Speaker 1>him Mike.

<v Speaker 3>I think it's a sign of respect, just because here's

<v Speaker 3>the thing. Mike Sandford has not just been coach at

<v Speaker 3>Valor and see you.

<v Speaker 2>I believe this. This man is coached in every single.

<v Speaker 1>Guess He's never coached me. He's never coached a single

<v Speaker 1>employee in this building. Why are we calling him coach?

<v Speaker 3>Well, again, I think it's just a sign of respect

<v Speaker 3>because he is a coach. He is out there actively coaching.

<v Speaker 3>I mean he coaches when not coaching me, he goes

<v Speaker 3>and does two a days, so he coaches in the morning,

<v Speaker 3>coaching my kids the show, and then goes back in coaches.

<v Speaker 3>So this man is actively coaching good for as we speak.

<v Speaker 1>So I think the people he's coaching should call him coach.

<v Speaker 3>I think again, it's just like the nickname sticks and

<v Speaker 3>I will absolutely agree with you in the sense that

<v Speaker 3>I believe he and I are about the same age.

<v Speaker 2>So it's for me to also say exactly.

<v Speaker 1>The coach is generally like a mentor to you, like

<v Speaker 1>in your youth, and you look up to them and

<v Speaker 1>they guide you and they teach you how to play

<v Speaker 1>sports ball, whatever it may be, and you call him coach.

<v Speaker 1>What's up?

<v Speaker 2>Coach?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you see him years later coach, you know. But

<v Speaker 1>that's a thing.

<v Speaker 2>If I got a coworker, if you.

<v Speaker 1>Had, did you bring Benkals into coach?

<v Speaker 3>Of the major league coaches that we have in the

<v Speaker 3>city here roll through the building, I would call them coaches.

<v Speaker 2>It is just a sense of respect I feel.

<v Speaker 3>And that's I have never called him Mike. I don't

<v Speaker 3>think I've ever called it's always coached me and it's

<v Speaker 3>just you call him coach. I do call him coach.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can tell you with certainty. I have never

<v Speaker 1>called him coach, nor will I ever call him coach. No,

<v Speaker 1>never talk to him. I've seen him in passing. I'll

<v Speaker 1>see him out in the parking lot. You know, you

<v Speaker 1>know I'm leaving, he's coming in. I'll go, hey, John,

<v Speaker 1>because generally remember his name. That's part of the problem too.

<v Speaker 1>I do call him, this is easy coach. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>calling him a coach because he's not my coach. He

<v Speaker 1>has not coached me in anything.

<v Speaker 2>But if he does coach you.

<v Speaker 1>Then at that point I would call him a coach.

<v Speaker 3>What if he's like, Jeremy, I'm gonna train you on

<v Speaker 3>doing sprints right out here in the.

<v Speaker 2>Hallway, that will you call him coach?

<v Speaker 3>No?

<v Speaker 2>No, no.

<v Speaker 1>But if I was involved with a team that I

<v Speaker 1>was on and he was the coach of the team,

<v Speaker 1>I'd probably call him coach. But even on a limited basis,

<v Speaker 1>I just feel like it would be in the sports setting.

<v Speaker 1>Then if we go out to dinner that that night,

<v Speaker 1>me and my wife and him and his wife, I'm

<v Speaker 1>not gonna be like, hey, coach, what are you going

<v Speaker 1>to order? Also the coach order, that's a good point.

<v Speaker 1>That's really quick. Though you have never played sports, growing up.

<v Speaker 1>I have played baseball for like ten years. I played soccer. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>so you've been in these sports. I know what it

<v Speaker 1>is the dynamic between a player and coach. And it's

<v Speaker 1>not between co workers and a guy named Mick Sandwich

<v Speaker 1>next door bother me.

<v Speaker 2>It doesn't bother me to call somebody coach.

<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's like, now that you bring it up,

<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, I guess maybe I.

<v Speaker 2>Would never call him Mike just because we call him coach.

<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, it doesn't bother me.

<v Speaker 3>On an island.

<v Speaker 1>This is like, this is just a radio station problem.

<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know, unless you're like working at Applebee's

<v Speaker 1>or something, and you got a guy that's working there

<v Speaker 1>with your bartend and that's a little league coach in

<v Speaker 1>the afternoons, are you rolling in saying, hey, coach, killer

<v Speaker 1>margaritas you're making there, bro.

<v Speaker 3>It's like it's like Al Bundy where he's like touchdowns

<v Speaker 3>at Polkai. It's like that coach right to day he

<v Speaker 3>just is always called coach.

<v Speaker 1>What is the cutoff?

<v Speaker 3>Then?

<v Speaker 1>If you taught little league baseball for two seasons, you know,

<v Speaker 1>you know back in the eighties, are people still calling

<v Speaker 1>you coach, like, when can you cut that off? Then?

<v Speaker 2>I don't know. And then what do we call him

<v Speaker 2>after he's done coaching?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you call him Mike sand far Sandwich, good old

<v Speaker 1>Mike Sandwich coach. Don't you call doctors doctor? So insane,

<v Speaker 1>even if it's not your doctor, but he's my doctor. No, no,

<v Speaker 1>if he's not, I don't call him doctors like I

<v Speaker 1>do that because if you're a doctor at a university,

<v Speaker 1>you still go, oh, I'm doctor Joe or whatever. That's

<v Speaker 1>just them bragging about their doctorate. If I roll up

<v Speaker 1>and Joe, hey Joe, No, I'm not going to call

<v Speaker 1>him doctor again. I'm out to dinner. Doctor. Why don't

<v Speaker 1>you order first? That's so stupid, stupid.

<v Speaker 2>I don't have a good so I don't either.

<v Speaker 3>I just know that, having worked in sports radio as

<v Speaker 3>long as I did, everyone has a nickname out there.

<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, guess what I have a nickname too for

<v Speaker 1>I want here. Ye, I have had proclamation. I am

<v Speaker 1>currently in this building the longest tenured employee. I'm the oldest.

<v Speaker 1>You are the law. I've worked here the longest out

<v Speaker 1>of everybody here, twenty two years. Okay, I'm essentially the king.

<v Speaker 1>So here's what I want. No, the longest tenured person,

<v Speaker 1>been around the longest. I want everyone here to call

<v Speaker 1>me your majesty from here on out, because I've been

<v Speaker 1>here longer than anybody else.

<v Speaker 2>You don't get to pick your nickname.

<v Speaker 1>You don't sorry and to that's a respect thing right.

<v Speaker 2>Your from you.

<v Speaker 1>You coach has to bow down and kiss the ring

<v Speaker 1>of germ magic.

<v Speaker 2>I don't care if it's a throne. Take a seat, sir.

<v Speaker 1>I know when you go out to dinner, you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>look over me, see your majesty.

<v Speaker 2>You order first, It's not evident.

<v Speaker 1>I'm disgusted
