00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,600
What's up everybody welcome to Blue Crew Diaries and Umpire podcast.

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,040
My name is Daryl and I will be your host as we take a look behind the mask so to speak

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:23,320
sharing stories insights and experiences from the unique perspective of the baseball umpire.

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,920
In this inaugural episode we'll take a look at my history as an umpire, why I decided

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,880
to start a podcast in the first place, and the kinds of topics that we will be discussing

6
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,560
in future episodes.

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:47,480
So if you're ready grab your indicator and plate brush and let's hit the field.

8
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:53,360
Alright everybody let's get started first off with who am I?

9
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,040
So again my name is Darrell and I live up here in the state of Maine.

10
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:07,960
I am getting ready for my second ever season as a baseball umpire.

11
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:17,920
I just started in the 2023 season and I didn't really take the normal track that most umpires

12
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,560
take.

13
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:26,440
I didn't play little league, I didn't play high school ball, I didn't even go to college

14
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,120
so no college ball there.

15
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:36,340
Really the only ball that I ever played was in gym class in school and that was mostly

16
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:38,320
softball.

17
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,560
So a lot of your umpires out there they played little league, they played high school ball,

18
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,000
college ball, or maybe just little league or something like that and then decided to

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,560
work back in on the other side if you will with the third team as people call us.

20
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,440
I didn't take that route.

21
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:14,720
A couple of years ago in 2022 one of the owners of the auto parts store that I work for approached

22
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:22,560
me about possibly umpiring for the local little league in that city which he happened to be

23
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
the treasurer of.

24
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,200
At that point I never even thought about umpiring.

25
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,920
I did watch the little league world series and stuff like that.

26
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,880
I was never really a big MLB guy, I'm still not.

27
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,560
I like the little league stuff and just kids out having fun.

28
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,960
So he told me hey we're looking for umpires let me know if you're interested.

29
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:02,920
I thought about it a little bit and thought well I don't know maybe, maybe not.

30
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:09,600
Didn't really think of it all that much throughout the 2022 season but in the off season between

31
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:17,600
2022 and 2023 I started to look into it a little bit more, a little more seriously.

32
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,280
I got on the little league international umpire registry, started looking at some of that

33
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:33,080
stuff, started watching youtube videos as far as mechanics and rules videos.

34
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:42,880
So by the beginning of 2023 I was fairly familiar with what was going on and that same owner

35
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:49,040
approached me again and said hey we're still looking for umpires just you know if you're

36
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,040
interested.

37
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:57,500
And then I noticed that the league or the local district was going to be putting on

38
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:05,480
a free umpire clinic just prior to the start of the season.

39
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:11,360
And it was just basic little league rules, mechanics, you know a little bit of positioning

40
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,360
stuff like that.

41
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,740
The clinic was only literally an hour and 45 minutes.

42
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:23,640
So I thought about it and I told my boss you know what sign me up for the clinic and if

43
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:29,920
I decide it's something I don't want to do I'm not out anything no big deal.

44
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,840
So I went and took the clinic.

45
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:45,740
Suffice to say that I don't want to talk down about anyone here but I learned more watching

46
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:54,360
a couple of videos on youtube than I did in that umpire clinic.

47
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,360
Literally like I said the clinic was about an hour and 45 minutes.

48
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,280
Around an hour of that was in the classroom and it was very very basic simple stuff.

49
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,280
What is a ball?

50
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,280
What is a strike?

51
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,280
What is a fair ball?

52
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,280
What's a foul ball?

53
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:10,280
Safe?

54
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:11,280
Out?

55
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,440
A little bit of obstruction interference stuff just just real basic stuff.

56
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,440
And then we went out we were at the local parks and rec building which oddly enough

57
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,320
does not have a baseball field.

58
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:33,740
So we went out into the gymnasium and worked on mechanics.

59
00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:37,780
This is how you call you know this is the preferred mechanic for a strike.

60
00:05:37,780 --> 00:05:39,200
This is how you call an out.

61
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320
This is how you call safe, fair, foul all that.

62
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,840
Worked on a little bit of positioning not too much and then after about 45 minutes out

63
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:53,400
in the gym it was well if you have any questions send us an email thanks for coming see you

64
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,400
later.

65
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,360
That was it.

66
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,120
So I got in touch with the umpire in chief for the local little league that I was going

67
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
to work with.

68
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,840
And talked to him a little bit.

69
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:18,040
He had a meeting that ended up not happening for whatever reason at the first game of the

70
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,040
season.

71
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,280
He was going to have a meeting with all those prospective umpires and I was the only one

72
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:24,280
that showed up.

73
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:29,620
I had no idea who I was looking for as far as my UIC.

74
00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:34,860
So I watched the game and I left.

75
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:40,960
Got a hold of him later that night through text message and said hey I was there.

76
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,600
I didn't see a group of people standing around.

77
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
It was all mostly fans watching the kids play.

78
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,820
So he said no biggie.

79
00:06:49,820 --> 00:06:51,940
We really didn't even have a meeting.

80
00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:54,560
So come to the field tomorrow night.

81
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Let me know when you're there.

82
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,040
I'll come find you and we'll talk.

83
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:07,400
So did that and talked with him and said no I'm ready to go.

84
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,440
I had already bought all my gear.

85
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:17,680
I went out on Amazon and bought the Cham Pro what I would call umpire in a box.

86
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:27,880
It comes with the chest protector, shin guards, mask, indicator, plate brush, one ball bag

87
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,000
and I think that was it.

88
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,760
I went and bought plate shoes.

89
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,720
I bought some uniforms, pants and shirt.

90
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,360
So I was fairly well ready to go.

91
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,520
I did buy a pair of base shoes and that was that.

92
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:59,960
So unknown to me that same week my fiance ended up having a stroke and I say unbeknownst

93
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,440
to me because she didn't even really know.

94
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,360
Monday she just thought she had a headache but she was dizzy and confused.

95
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Ended up being transported to the hospital from the place that she worked.

96
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,080
The emergency room diagnosed her with a severe migraine.

97
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,440
Sent her home.

98
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,260
And they did do an MRI and that didn't show anything.

99
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:35,200
So a couple of days later she said something is still not right.

100
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,060
Decided on Thursday to go back to the emergency room.

101
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:45,040
They did another MRI and went ugh looks like you had a stroke.

102
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:55,840
So as I'm sitting there in the hospital room with her my phone goes off and it's my UIC.

103
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:02,120
Hey just to let you know I got you scheduled for a big week next week.

104
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,800
And I immediately messaged him right back and said dude as much as I hate to do this

105
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,320
I've got bigger stuff going on right now.

106
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Which he completely understood.

107
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,320
He was perfectly fine with it.

108
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:20,760
He said when you get everything straightened out let me know if you're still going to be

109
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,440
able to work at all this year.

110
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:31,020
And he did check in a couple of times over the next week or so just to see how the family

111
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:32,920
was doing and what not.

112
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,720
So I appreciate him for that.

113
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,060
And after about a week and a half we finally got my fiance home.

114
00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:44,240
Everything is good now.

115
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:53,760
So I talked it over with her and she said yup I'm good go ahead.

116
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,760
So I messaged him and said I'm in let's go.

117
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:10,680
So he messages me back on a Thursday early afternoon and says hey I get you scheduled

118
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:15,600
tomorrow night Friday night at 530.

119
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Got you on the plate.

120
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:30,880
And I'm like well damn I've literally I still hadn't even stepped on a baseball field at

121
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,320
this point in over 20 years.

122
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,000
The last time I set foot on a baseball field was in gym class my freshman year of high

123
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,520
school and that was in 2001.

124
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,840
The spring of 2001.

125
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Here we are the spring of 2023.

126
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,760
It's been like 22 years since I've set foot on a baseball field and my very first game

127
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,880
umpiring in any capacity whatsoever is going to be behind the plate.

128
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,360
Okay.

129
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,440
So I asked him are there any particular ground rules for the field that I need to be aware

130
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,640
of or this that and the other thing.

131
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:17,840
He put me in touch well he didn't even put me in touch he told me go to the field tonight

132
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,480
there's a game being played tonight.

133
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,320
Go to the field and seek out Darren.

134
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Darren is going to be the home plate umpire for tonight's game.

135
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,720
Tell him who you are.

136
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Tell him I told you to go talk to him and he'll he'll take care of you.

137
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:43,000
So, I showed up at the field saw Darren sitting on the bleachers just watching the kids warm

138
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,960
up.

139
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,720
Went over introduced myself shook his hand sat next to him told him I've never done this

140
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,840
before and I got the plate tomorrow night.

141
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,720
What can you give me for advice?

142
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,720
So he gave me a few pointers on strike zone and and setting up and whatnot and then he

143
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,360
stands up he says come with me.

144
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,840
And this was the first time that I walked out onto a field.

145
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Walk through the gate and we went over to the home team dugout.

146
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:27,520
And that's where he showed me you know the pregame inspection what to look for in the

147
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,960
bats what to look for in the batting helmets catcher's gear all that.

148
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,160
And we went and did the visiting team and and inspected all their stuff talked to the

149
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,360
coaches on both sides.

150
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,240
You know it was it was just a friendly atmosphere.

151
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,940
So we got done that and then the base umpire for that particular night showed up.

152
00:12:52,940 --> 00:13:00,960
And he came out introduced myself to him and then Darren says well he says so you're not

153
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:11,000
completely new with this if you want why don't you stick around work third base tonight.

154
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,900
All right I'm game let's go.

155
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:20,560
So I ran back to the truck got my I already had an umpire jacket ran grabbed my jacket

156
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,900
threw that on went back out work third base that night.

157
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:28,960
Everything was great.

158
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:36,760
Then the next night I had the plate and after that it was okay.

159
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Yeah I think I can do this.

160
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,200
I think I think I'm going to be okay here.

161
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,420
There there were a few bumps in the road in the 2023 season I'll get into those in later

162
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:55,840
episodes but I ended up working have to go back through my notes I believe I ended up

163
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:10,280
working 18 games total in 2023 between Little League minors majors and junior division worked

164
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,280
few junior games.

165
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,680
I only I didn't only work one minors game but that was a lot of fun.

166
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:23,360
I mean it's it's minors I was by myself behind the plate but you know it was a good time.

167
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,120
No one no one really took it that seriously.

168
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,080
So for any of the seasoned umpires out there that have been doing this for a long time

169
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,520
you are probably laughing right now.

170
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Oh 18 games and holy crap that that's it.

171
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,560
You know I I work more than that on a weekend.

172
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:54,880
But for me my very first year out as an umpire to work 18 games and a couple of those were

173
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880
were double headers.

174
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:06,120
I do count those as two games but I think I only worked 14 actual days on the field

175
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,560
with a few double headers in there.

176
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:16,680
So overall I am excited to get back at it.

177
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,240
I have only made one gear change so far.

178
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Well I shouldn't say that.

179
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,040
I shouldn't say that.

180
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,440
I made quite a few gear changes last year in 2023.

181
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:36,440
I ended up upgrading my indicator right off the bat because the one that come that came

182
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,600
with the champro kit I mean it's it works.

183
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,160
It works.

184
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:49,760
But I got one of the nice all star heavy weight ones with the notched dials to tell you your

185
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,840
ball striking out counts.

186
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:59,240
I upgraded to two ball bags instead of just the one.

187
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,280
I do like having the two.

188
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:10,200
I can keep a water bottle in one side and you know fresh base balls in the other side.

189
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,520
And then if I have you know an old ball or a damaged ball or something like that instead

190
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:22,960
of throwing that in with the new balls I can throw it over in my other side with the water

191
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,960
bottle.

192
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,480
So I still have them if I need them but they're not mixed in with the brand new balls over

193
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,040
on my right side.

194
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Let's see what else did I upgrade.

195
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,400
I think that's all I upgraded last year.

196
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
I am trying out a new mask this year.

197
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,920
I hope that was the other thing I upgraded last year I upgraded from the champro pads

198
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:53,320
on my mask to the team Wendy pads.

199
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,640
Six of one half does in the other essentially.

200
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:05,800
I only took one one ball off the mask last year so didn't really get to try the team

201
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,840
Wendy pads out.

202
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,160
Hopefully I don't ever have to.

203
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,200
But you know how that is.

204
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:19,000
But this year I have upgraded to the force three defender traditional style mask and

205
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,040
we're going to give that a shot and see what happens.

206
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,920
So why did I decide to start a podcast.

207
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:34,080
I know I rambled on in the first section I'll try not to do it here.

208
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:42,000
There are as I'm sure you are well aware a lot of great podcasts out there a lot of great

209
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,940
YouTube channels out there with regards to umpiring.

210
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:59,360
What I have failed to find is one that specifically centers around little league and that is all

211
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,320
I work right now.

212
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,280
I work for one league up here in the state of Maine.

213
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,480
That's it.

214
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,080
I don't travel around the district.

215
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:19,760
I mean I would but I just want to get get established where I'm at one league and just

216
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,680
stick with it for for a couple of years before I start trying to move around.

217
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:34,080
The nice thing with the league that I'm at is they currently play on two different fields.

218
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:43,960
The minors field is literally two minutes walking distance from where I work and the

219
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:50,560
majors field is about two minutes driving from where I work and most of the games are

220
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,240
at 5 30.

221
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,640
I get out of work at 4 30 so I can change into my gear put my uniform on right at work

222
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,260
jump in the truck and be at the field for five o'clock.

223
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:06,420
So I'm always a half hour early.

224
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:09,080
So that's why I've stuck with where I'm at now.

225
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,400
I also want to focus solely on little league.

226
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:22,080
A lot of the other podcasts out there are either NFHS umpires or collegiate you know

227
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,760
NCAA umpires stuff like that.

228
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:33,460
There are some major league and minor league umpires out there doing podcasts but I want

229
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:41,040
to focus solely on little league because that's that's where I'm at right now.

230
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:48,920
So that is the direction that this podcast will take focusing on little league mechanics

231
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
rules.

232
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:59,240
Although I only worked 18 games last year I do have a decent number of stories and I'm

233
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:06,340
sure more stories will come out as we get into the 2024 season.

234
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:11,440
So that kind of gets into the third point of this episode is the kind of topics we'll

235
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,240
be discussing.

236
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:24,400
Yeah pretty much anything little league umpire game situations rules interpretations things

237
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:31,720
that have happened in game mechanics rules all all kinds of stuff.

238
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,080
I know I'm repeating myself here but that's what we're going to be talking about.

239
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:46,600
I'm probably going to plan on these episodes coming out about once a month for right now.

240
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:55,800
If things change and I get you know requests to do more episodes more frequently and I

241
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:02,880
have the content to do more frequent episodes then we'll we may look at a bimonthly you

242
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,640
know bimonthly release of episodes especially when we get into the into the season I'm sure

243
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:16,520
a lot more a lot more stuff and more topics will present themselves.

244
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:24,340
So right now one a month that that may vary a little bit but we'll start with that and

245
00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:28,200
see what happens.

246
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:36,800
So if I have not totally bored you to death by now I just want to thank you for listening.

247
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:43,960
I hope as we get deeper in the season and get some more episodes up on the pack up excuse

248
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,880
me up on the podcast.

249
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,560
No I will not edit that out.

250
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,160
I'm not one of those people that edits out my mistakes.

251
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,480
If I make a mistake I own it.

252
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,400
So hopefully you get everything you're looking for out of the podcast.

253
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,240
I will start doing social media and things like that.

254
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:14,920
I've got to get an email address together so that if you have topics things that you've

255
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:23,840
had happen on the field or your experiences when I get that up and get the social media

256
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,040
and stuff up and going feel free to send that stuff to me.

257
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:34,840
I will and I'll let you know when when that gets started and when I get an email address

258
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,560
up and going to to send me that kind of stuff.

259
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:46,360
So thank you again for listening to my ramblings on.

260
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:48,640
That's kind of what I tend to do.

261
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,880
People tell me I talk too much.

262
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:59,640
So I apologize if I do but thank you again for listening and I will see you in the next

263
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:26,200
episode.
