0:16.9	But a guy who had molested his young son.
0:23.4	And I had spoken about this on a solo cast a while back when it happened and how gripping this has been for many people, many dads,
0:29.6	many fans, but for me in particular and a lot of our teammates, because of the fact that we

1:24.5	It really was something that two days flew by.
1:26.6	My kids loved being with him. My wife, my mom got to come and make us a really nice home-cooked meal, a couple
1:31.9	meals actually, with our red deer and a black buck. And we got to teach the kids jiu-jitsu
1:37.7	over at Gracie Humida for an hour and then taught at Heroes Jiu-Jitsu at Sheep Dog Response up in Tim Kennedy Spot in Cedar Park, teach the veterans there for an hour and a half and eat good food, trade war stories, have conversations and all the things in between.
