Requirements of a Successful Hitting Coach, Part T

Kunden Hi again everybody welcome into another edition of the Lab Epstein hitting podcast. Good to have you aboard Thanks for joining us today a brand new episode episode 141. We're talking today Today's episode 141. Thank you again for joining us Apple Google Spotify wherever you get your podcasts on any platform and on YouTube the lab Epstein hitting podcast YouTube page. All right, let me bring in

Morning Jim happy to be here a wonderful sunny Colorado day You know, I gotta tell you it's uh, it's always morning Tampa. It's morning for you, but it's kind of almost afternoon for me You always forget you and I always forget the time change Sometimes we'll we'll for people don't know we'll text back and forth just to confirm times of when we're going to record this

show And no, we don't do it live for those who are technically technologically inept and don't really know that and I'll get it Jake will say well, let's go 9 a.m. And I'll think it's 9 a.m. My time and I forget that it's mountain time for him That's our we usually figure it out. Today talking about requirements of a successful hitting coach part two We're gonna

talk more in depth today about the technology the equipment the coaching style being able to evolve with your players and getting more in depth more into the weeds about the requirements of a successful hitting coach all three of those things technology equipment coaching style they are all very very important when it comes to being a successful hitting coach in the year 2023 and beyond. It is

and again deciphering which kind of technology we're using is crucial, you know, we use that technology and and and with what players do we use that technology all plays a part in and being a good hitting coach and kind of having that information in your arsenal. Yeah, so we'll get to all of that today. We do have a listener question and we're gonna get to that

listener question right now and then get right into the topic because there's a lot of information to get to today and a lot of teaching points as well. But this question comes to us from Armando sent to us via Jimbo podcast 21 at Gmail.com and Armando writes, Hey Jim, I have a couple of questions for Jake. One, do you think rhythm with the feet at the

plate before a string of the right is good and why in Jake's clinics we've talked about rhythm with hands and bat, but I can't remember about the feet number two. This is a two part question here. Number two as an instructor. What do you think and Jake you instructor? Not not Jim. What do you think about us going to students games? I go sometimes to show

that I care, but sometimes I feel like I give them more stress, which leads to lesser results. Thank you, fellas appreciate all you do. And that is from Armando. I just said from the land of beer and cheese, I'm assuming Milwaukee or Green Bay, probably Milwaukee Armando, thank you. My condolences on Aaron Rogers. Although Jordan love. I think is a very good quarterback. Good arm strength.

They're on Jordan love Armando. Great question. Thank you very much. Sent to us via Jimbo podcast 21 at Gmail.com. Can I just add something to this, by the way? Yeah, it's not like it's his own personal property and Fox that he just wrote you go ahead and change it. So yeah. The second part of the question about showing up to games, leading to stress and whatnot.

Second part of that question. It's easy for instructors now to see players play a lot more easier than it was. Say when I was like playing. Yeah, which wasn't all that too long ago because you can watch on these apps and all of these new type websites. So yeah, I mean if you're not in person watching, then you could still be watching digitally. Anyway, go ahead.

So let's start. Let's start with going to play. I'm going to play with players games. It's a great idea. Well, I did it last week with some of the high school players. I worked all of winter, all fall winter, spring during the season here. Now they're in the playoffs. So, you know, I want to see them play. But putting that external pressure also is not cool

either. You know, they're trying to do well for you. Yeah. And there's no need for that as a coach. I don't care if you don't try to please me. I want you to please yourself. If you're about to be out there and perform for yourself, so you feel good about yourself. If you enjoy this game. But it's a lot of times I'll kind of hide. You

know, I'll be there. I'll roll up late. And I'll try to hide. I try not to be there for pregame. Unless I'm looking at other things. If I want to see how they move. Sometimes if it's a player that I'm just starting to work with. I want to see what kind of athlete they are. I want to see how they throw the ball from the outfield.

I want to see how they run. If they're in fielders, I just want to see how they move because a lot of times how they move in the field dictates how they move in the batter's box. Maybe we shouldn't have this kind of late kick. If a kid really likes a late kick, but I watch him run around the outfield. And I'm like, he doesn't have

good feet. Doesn't have good balance. He doesn't, you know, he's not smooth like that. We probably shouldn't have that. So a lot of times I want to see what kind of athlete that are. But if it's a player that I've known for a fairly long time, then what I'll do is I'll just kind of roll up late. I'll watch their first couple of bats. Hopefully it's

a double header that those are the best because then I can talk to them between games. I'll show my face. I'll do it potentially after the first game when they're walking around. And then we can chat about it and then I'll ask him, Hey, do you care that I'm here? Do you want me to check out your bats? And most of the time you're like, yeah,

absolutely. If it's a 12-year-old or 13-year-old, 14-year-old, I probably am not going to make myself known. Maybe I'll use a lot of Game Changer video that their parents can send me. That's where you're kind of alluding to with the new technology. Game Changer pretty much streams all the games for most teams. So I can see how they move at least in games. I can see pitch

selection in games. Are they swinging early in the counter? Are they aggressive? Are they not aggressive? Then they get to two strikes and they're just trying to fight stuff off. So there's a lot that goes into a bats that I can't see. I can't really see mechanics, but at least I can see their approach. And maybe if they're striding the wrong way, I had a player

I want to make them uncomfortable. And if I don't see them freak out, I'm feeling pretty good. And then obviously when I get a video and they're bailing out on every pitch, right? They're pulling out with their striding. They're striding late. Then I'm like, that's not even the same kid. So then we have to have like a mental change. We have to talk about relaxation. And

what are we focusing on when we're in the box? Maybe we have to overdo diving into the plate for a little while to make sure they aren't stepping on. So going to games is really great. Plus it shows the kid that you care. Right? This guy really he's vested in me. I spent a lot of time with these kids and we create nice relationships, which is

another pillar of being a successful hitting coach. Very good. Look, here we are. You know, we started somebody asked me this the other day. When did you start the first podcast meeting the lab? And I said April 2020, right? Yeah. And we've come along. We've come a long way. And look at you now. You're easily segueing like it's nothing. Go ahead. Yeah. Now it's just it

shows you care. And it shows the parents that you care too. You're not just a lot of the high school guys. I don't even know their parents. So I show up at a game and the kids know who I am with the parents. The parents know who I am for my voice. Like I had a guy come up the other day. He's like, Oh, you must

be Jake because I recognize I was talking to somebody else. And they're like, I recognize your voice from all the video analysis. You do it. My son's lessons. So, you know, that that part of it's pretty cool. So definitely, Mando, you got to tread lightly on that and and make sure that you know, you're not freaking them out. Like I said, if they're 12 or 14,

you got to hide, you know, try to hide somewhere down the right field. Why and try to hide in center field, something like that. The high school guys are usually going to be a little bit better with it. Now the first part of the question was rhythm in the feet, right? Should we build in rhythm with the lower half and. And I guess the best story

I can say is I started to do that about. Maybe eight. I'm trying to think because I remember the group. I still work with these kids. They're they're in high school now and they're high school juniors. And they're probably 17 so it was probably seven six or seven years ago we started this Nolan, Aaron Otto drill or a step back drill or a jump back to

however you want to do it. But. Aaron Otto, if you watched his feet, you can probably go back to my Twitter account and find the video I posted of Aaron Otto. I remember just videoing the TV screen because they showed a close up of his feet, you know, during the broadcast. But regardless, we started to implement that. And it's a great way to get players to

load their back hit properly. I would say loading the back hip is the most overworked part of the swing in the last four or five months of anything else. Right. Everybody's like, I remember. I loaded my back. I'm like, dude, you've loaded your back hip for the last five years we've been training. It's just all over Twitter now. Make sure you load your back. I've been

marked a rosa's talking about it. Oh, look at him coil the back. I'm like. Kind of looks like he's just striding. The legend. Florentine mentioned on the show. He picked up his run foot and his back hip didn't sway. Right. So if that's the case, then his back hip is coiled properly. Anyway, regardless, whatever, at least we're talking about something regarding hitting. So. That's a great

way to teach it is that step back. Because if you step back and your knee is is not supported in your knee wobbles or your foot wobbles, then you swayed and you didn't load your hip properly. So we build that now. The bad part of that is after this was a camp. We did like a week long summer camp or four days, you know, Monday, three

Thursday, something like that. And like the third day of the camp, everybody's moving way too much. So I'm throwing a BP and now they're stepping to my there rocking back and forth. And then I go to, you know, shoot the ball out of the machine and they're all messed up, right? They're they're getting caught between the right foot and their left foot. And it's causing problems.

So just be cautious of it. So I essentially use it as a drill to make sure the back hip is proper loaded properly. We're not swinging back into our load. But I don't spend. I don't want everyone to do it. I want them to be comfortable in the box. I want them to be relaxed. Maybe they're moving between their feet. Maybe they're they're weight kind of

they're not picking up each foot. But they're just kind of got a little bit of a rock back and forth. I love that, right? We're kind of dancing in there. A slow dance. You know, we got our feet so that boom, I can get my weight into my back foot so that I can pick up my front foot. So yes, I would like players to have

a little bit of rhythm with their with their feet. But not too much where they're thinking about it or they're going to be caught in between when the pitch comes. If a guy slides steps, you don't want to be caught in between. All right. Well, thank you, Armando. So great question. And yeah, Armando does that with the feet. And it was a flamin' on a couple

of years ago. And people didn't really understand this. So I'm glad you cleared that up. By the way, you look great today. I got to tell you, you look great today. You sound great today. You're all ready to go. I'm glad that microphone is doing its job now. Yeah. Like as it was it's always done its job hasn't it? It has always done its job. You're

right. I'm glad I have it in the right location where it sounds good. Yeah. I'm glad you're joining us today a new episode. And of course the audience listening, watching.

of a successful hitting coach part two. And I think the three main things technology equipment coaching style. We're getting into the weeds of what it takes to be a successful hitting coach. We talked about the overarching themes a couple of weeks ago in episode 139 talking today though about the three main. I don't want to use the word pillars because I use that word a lot

and I need to. And I need to switch that word out, but I guess bed rocks, bed rocks, requirements of a successful hitting coach part two technology equipment coaching style. To me, the hardest thing for a coach that I've learned being around coaches, wrenched with coaches, some of the most successful coaches, one I'm talking to right now, of course, throughout my, my time, whatever you want

to call it, is that there's so many things thrown at coaches, technology, new equipment, all of these new things. I mean, sometimes technology and equipment, they mold into one, right? Blast motion, diamond kinetics, all of these things that coaches are almost required to learn to be able to evolve into what kind of coaches they want to be. And then, of course, the coaching style, new types

of players, new types of different attitudes and new types of personalities that they always have to learn and always have to sort of have their finger on the pulse of when it comes to that coaching style. And being able to adjust to their players. So I think that for me, those three things, oftentimes, they can get kind of convoluted a little bit. And it becomes tough

for coach to continue to evolve, but they're all requirements if you want to be a successful hitting coach. Yeah. And it really depends on what kind of coach are you going to be? You know, are you help trying to help your, your son or daughters team, you know, 10 year old team? Learn how to play the game. Yeah, fundamentals. Or, do you want to be a

high school coach? And, you know, high school coaches, they're not making really money coaching the high school team. You know, they do it because they love to coach baseball. And they might make a little money doing it, but not for the time that they're putting in, you know, their teachers. They have other jobs, right? They're not full time high school coaches, at least in 98% of

the country. There are a few out there. And then you have college and professional coaches or private hitting instructors that are getting paid to do this. So you have many different levels of people that are trying to help players. So the key with technology is it has to match the player you're working with. So what's cool about what I do is I work with, not very

many, but I'll work with an eight year old, maybe, you know, once a year or through the online academy, like a lot of the online players are players that are really young, just getting started. And I can give them one or two things that are going to make the learning process easier for they're older. But I'll have a ten year, you know, whatever, 8, 9, 10

year old in the online academy, or I'll see for an individual lesson here. And then all of a sudden, I have professional players that I need to work with, right? That's pretty big gap of people and talents and personalities. So I can use pretty much any technology out there. Right? Because that's what I do for a living. That's what I do for a living. I dedicate

a lot of time to it. I dedicate hours every single day. On trying to find a better way to do something with the swing or to train a player. Okay? So I've used K-Vess, I've used Blast, I've used Hit Tracks, I've used Rep Soto, I've used, you know, any kind of scouting, you know, player development stuff that has metrics. But it doesn't work for every player.

You have to figure out what player you're working with and what's the most important thing. So per se, we will have a ten year old player as our example. Ten year old player walks in. And they don't really have a stride. They just kind of like do a no stride or an early stride. And then they spin their body really fast. And they drop their hands

or back elbow too soon. Okay. So we got kind of like your prototypical player. Like I'm not going to put a K-Vess on a ten year old or a 12 year old because they're not mature yet. Okay. We have to have a muscle structure. We have to be pretty much fully matured for K-Vess to make sense. I have a lot of players that I've taught recently

that are taught to, you know, kind of use them to make sense. And they're body a little bit too much, right? They got tight arms. They got tight shoulders. And so they're 190 pounds, but they don't create the exosci that they shit for that size. Are they bad athletes, right? That's number one for me. Maybe they just don't have any athleticism. That's totally feasible, right? You

can blame your parents for that. As my dad said, Jake, you'd be a big layer if you had my jeans instead of your mothers. Okay. So I hear it every day. Like it's very, and it's true. My dad was a freak, right? He was big. He was fast. That's a man. That is. Oh, that's hard. He's 77 years old. I still get it, right? So anyway,

you have to figure out who the player is. But I have players that are pretty good athletes. They're not actually. So I'll put the K-Vess on. It's like, boom. Okay. You're not your energy transfer from your hips to your shoulders really well, but your speed gain from your shoulders, your hands is really bad, right? Boom. Now I create a plan for that player. If I try

to do the same thing with a ten year old, it doesn't work because that technology really is built for a mature, sized person. But maybe the blast is really good, right? So now we go to a blast sensor with a 10 or 12 year old. And it tells us, you know, exactly kind of what are, you know, what is our swing plane doing? What's our attacking?

Oh, what is our barrel doing? Okay. So now it's like, oh, right. This player has a big barrel drop. But then within blast, you're like, you have all these scores. I'm gonna care about scores. I'm gonna try to improve scores. I wanna know exactly what the barrel's doing. Is it swinging up or down too much? I wanna know is it dropping too much or not enough?

I wanna know what the time of contact is just to see, you know, if we're making progress on being efficient. So then we have another layer on top of that is where was the pitch? Okay. You can't just put a blast on a player, have him hit the ball and BP and say, oh, his vertical bat angle was good. Well, maybe it was good because they

were like super early. Okay. And because they're super early, it fixed the pitch. They were barrel drop, right? They started to roll their wrist or vice versa. Maybe they were, you know, really late. So their time to contact was good. Well, my time to contact the greatest. Well, yeah, you fouled it off, right? But that's not the right contact point. So you have to know how

to use all that technology the right way. Okay. And that's why, you know, Mando, you know, kind of wrote in, he's been to multiple certifications that I have, right? He's been to them, you know, Denver, Texas. I know. Maybe he was one in California too. Excuse me. So we've gone over all of those things. We've answered all those questions. He's probably asked questions like that. Well,

should I use this for this player? So there's just a lot of variables with the technology. And yes, you want to be versed in everything. The more information, the better you're going to be. But you, most importantly, you have to know what technology to use and how to apply it to your target player, young old professional, your own kid, right? You had to be a little

careful. you're one who wants for you to use the skills you want to get from the technology, the social , to the technology school and so on. And I really do want to get rid of that charm of writing he's got to use it to so the things that allow you to do that because there are so many big examples of your child can talk about

stuff like that to work with you in the same way. You mentioned something in there though technology and learning this new technology always learning. It's one thing with we talked about that in episode 139 part one of requirements of a successful hitting coach always learning. And again, all of this new technology and I sometimes experience it to you all this new technology like I recently just

got a new phone right finally. And I'm still figuring out all the features of the camera and how I could maybe use the camera for different different types of scenarios. Anyway, there's always this new technology computers and iPads. I mean, you walk into the best buy store. I walked into a I forget which technology store it was recently with my sister because she had to pick

up some new I don't know some new thing. And I'm looking around and I'm like, oh my God, like this is this is the 20th century. It's not what it's not what the Jetsons predicted, right? It's not that stupid cartoon. This is the 20th century. All this new technology. These all these new different types of stylus pens to write on your iPad and all that crap,

right? And I'm thinking how just as it pertains to today's episode today's topic, how to coaches, how do you guys decipher through all this new technology that's being thrown at you with all of these intricate details and understand, okay, this will help my player this piece of technology probably not. It's experience. So it's either experience you've been doing it for a long time or it's. Speeding

up experience by talking to someone with experience. Okay, so that's where training comes in. Regardless of what it is, like, for instance, I don't know anything about. Social media advertising and I don't know or or or internet marketing. I don't know. So I have to talk to an expert or I have to go find an expert and take their class on how to do this. I

have a buddy, my next or neighbor. He's a good dude. He sells insurance. A lot of people come to him and want to get into the insurance business. And so he's created in a platform that allows him to communicate and share his experience with new people coming into that market. So that's essentially exactly what I do with certification. I don't care if you're coach your your

nine year olds team or if you're a college coach, like you're in the same room. And we're going to talk about the best ways to to work with those kind of players. And we're going to answer all your questions and get you to figure out, okay, this player, this is their problem. So we look at so much video. So it's it's really fun because here's the

problem of a 10 year old. Here's what you need to do. Here's the most basic way to fix this problem. And then like five minutes later, I'll get we'll look at this swing of a college player. Okay, totally different size. Right. You know, they usually have different issues for older players. It's it's typically timing and rhythm. Sometimes it's a swing plane. It's usually not mechanical. If

they have a mechanical issue, they're probably not going to play anymore. If they have a mechanical issue at age 16, they're probably not going to play anymore. Okay. So it's pretty fun to see how that works. It's like, okay, this player needs to work on one move to fix bad drag or to fix their their lead shoulder from flying out. And this college player needs to

work on timing. So we've covered all these drills. That's a fun part. Like we do the drills first for the coaches training. These are all the all the, you know, everything in your arsenal, like how to work on timing, how to work on mechanics. I do this. And then we look at the first time. We've got a video and we say, okay, what's what's the number

one problem with this player? We figured out, okay, what drills, what kind of program do we want to put them on to fix it? And like I said, sometimes it's a lot of technology. And sometimes it's very limited technology. And the only way to know that is to talk to an expert. Be an expert or try one. so lesson, but how do you go about now

finding the right technology that can help you figure out that type of data that you need to ultimately pass on to your player? Yeah, I mean, you know what you have access to in terms of data, right? You kind of figure out what, you know, I have access to a hit track. So now it's like, okay, how hard do we hit the ball? How far do

we hit the ball? So we'll just talk about hit tracks a little bit. You only hit the ball 70 miles an hour. Okay, so we need to work our practice into creating consistent launch angles in the 10 to 20 degree range. Okay, because if you hit it more than 20, it's just a perfect fly out to the outfielder. Right? It's just a nice little line out,

but as a go. And then or you have a player that's big and strong and not fast. Right? So they hit the ball 95 miles an hour, but they don't run real well. Okay, now we need to create a swing plane or a body posture. Or whatever it is to make sure that that player is maximizing will say a 20 to 30 degree, you know, consistent

launch angle. And then we play games and things like that. So you have to kind of figure out again what, what player you're working with. And then apply it to what technology you have at your disposal. All right. So moving on really quick here to coaching style and understanding how to continue to evolve with your players and knowing what type of players that you're going to

be working with. How have you gone about that over your 25 plus years of coaching? Yeah, you know, I don't know if it was planned. I think I think you just start working with players. And you start gaining experience. And you figure out what works, what works for them, you know, based on, you know, age and body type and all that. So I wish I had

a, I can tell you, from my experience, the first thing that I do when I get a new player, they sign up online and we'll say this is an in person lesson. I haven't met them. I have no idea. I haven't get loose. I throw them some balls. I video. Okay. So that's always my starting point because kids, especially nowadays, super visual. They want to see

themselves. Right. Everybody's in love with themselves anyway. Taking selfies. So here's your, here's your hitting selfie, if you will. So here's what you look like. And here's what pros look like. And how can we get those, you know, together to bridge the gap? The next step I'll do is from the video, I will see what their issue is. Right. So I'm even though I'm showing him

video and showing him, I know deep down what the problem is, usually within three swings. And then I talked to him and asking everybody, what are your outs, right? Are your outs ground balls to the pole side? Are they, are they fly balls to the opposite field? Do we strike it out a lot? Are we headed right? So I get, you know, information on, you know,

what they're telling me what they think is their problem? And it's usually different than what their parents tell me they see when they're watching games. But then I might put something basic on like the blast. Okay. Well, here's, see how your barrels dropping here. Now they're seeing video and a number. Right. Okay. At this part of my swing, my bat vertical angle is negative 39 degrees.

Okay. But at this part of the swing, it's negative 25 degrees. Well, how does it get, what happens to get it from negative, whatever I said, 39 to negative 25? Like, what is that barrel doing? Oh, what is your right hand or what is your top hand doing? Oh, now I can see that. And I can see the numbers. Jake knows what he's talking about. And

then I'm like, okay, let's get after it. So I don't want to spend all day. So this is, this is very important for young coaches out there. Don't spend all day looking at data. Like I will spend five minutes of a 45 minute lesson or even an hour lesson. I'll spend five minutes of that time showing them what they need to do. But here's what people

do. So they sit there and yap and talk about numbers and data and make themselves feel smarter. And the kid doesn't get any better during that session. So now it's like, okay, here's the problem. I'm going to give you a drill solution to do it. I put them in different positions. I give them typically two drills to work on. They have to work on those drills

at home before I see them again. So they're like, oh, should we schedule a lesson next week? And I say, I don't know. Are you going to take 500 of these swings neck? I mean, we can schedule a lesson. You can keep coming. But I'm going to lose my marbles if you're not getting better. So here's the deal. If you want to continue with training, you

need to do this, this, and this. And I need to see a little progress with that. Okay. And if you can get 500 swings in the next 10 days, doing this drill and you've mastered this drill, then we're going to move forward along the training process. And then the next time they come in, I say, wow, this looks great. Look how much better it is using

video. And then, okay, now I'm going to make life more difficult. We're going to add rhythm to this. We're going to add a step to this. So we're going to add what it is, and then I'll bring in technology again to show them what it is. Look at the progress. And then boom, you know, get the ball running again. So again, it's really, we can talk

all day about technology, but you have something basic that everyone can kind of see that's a video. Again, you got to know what you're looking for with any. No, with any technology. And then you can kind of move video to something like a blast. But again, you get to know what what are we concentrating on with blast. And then you can do a little bit of

training. And then you move that up to a launch monitor, like a hit tracks. And then you can move into like a rep so to which shows you bad at ball spin, which I really love because that's directly correlated to some of the blast metrics. So I love to pair the blast with the rep so to and I know one guy right now just perked up

listening to this. His initials are D L, you know who you are because you're very excited to learn about the rep so to see somebody in your. He's a freeze of friend of mine that has sons that play and D L. D L. D L. Like okay, rep so to blast. Okay, ball flight. Here we go. But then you go that. And then the last step

would be something like a kinematic sequencing, right? You can go with a K. Vess sensor or a 40 motion or like crazy stuff that's out there. And then you can figure out, okay, is that even worthwhile or not? You know, most good athletes at the college level move pretty well. But when I do the K vest on some softball. Players last year, it's like, oh, there's

a little bit of a disconnect here. You know, like I think you could really focus on this upper body move to get a better, better speed gain. It makes sense. But you know, most, I would say most professional players you put a K vest on. It's pretty good. There's sequencing might be different on different pitches. A lot of times the upper body will accelerate sooner on

a pitch that's in or first thing inside the ball. But for the most part, everything's working correctly or they wouldn't be playing anymore. That's exactly right. Did we hit everything today? Requirements of a successful hitting coach intricate details. I think first step two we did. Yeah. Yeah. There's step three. I didn't know. I don't know. But step one, we hit a lot in step one, right?

Communications for technology. I think we did pretty good today. I agree. I agree. And equipment technology and equipment oftentimes interchangeable when it comes to hitting now and pitching and again, that equipment, like say, blast. Or diamond kinetics. Hawkeye. There's a good one. Track man. Yeah. Oh, man. That stuff is so cool to watch. Yeah. I mean, I just met new bat path thing that they throw

out once in a while is so useful for someone like me. Yeah. Trying to get my hands on all of it instead of just what's posted sometimes. But it's really, that's really cool technology for players to see. Well, if you'd like to be a sponsor of the lab upstein hitting podcast, reach out. Emela Stimbo podcast. I don't think so. I hope everybody has a quality week

of getting their players better and enjoying themselves out on the field. Yeah. So in our next new episode. June fifth, June fifth Monday. We'll be talking about applying data properly. That's our episode. We talked a little bit today about technology, but now we're going to talk about applying that kind of revisiting its topic from a couple of years ago applying data properly. We'll be talking about

that in the next couple of weeks. Actually, it's our new episode next new episode. June 5th. All right. All right. Good to go. Siner. All right. Peace out, Girl Scout. Thanks for listening everybody and watching. Talk to you in a couple weeks. Take care.
