Cape Talk, Saturday evening

It's very sad. I'm not surprised. I think people think that it's just about money, but it's not about money. I don't know anybody who thinks it's about money. You don't want to fight against your own people anymore. You just want to go to a competition. You want to know that your people have your back. You're not pulling knives out of your back.

And I remember when I used to swim, we used to look at some of the other teams when we had internal strife. We used to look at the other teams and go, geez, I just wish that we could just show up and not have to deal with the hassles. And it's almost better if they just completely stay out of it. Because we can organize our own flight. We can get ourselves there. But it's just the obstacles are non-stop. And at some point, you just have enough of it. When I discussed it on my radio show, I wasn't surprised, but I was delighted.

No, she's our golden girl. Absolutely. And in my mind, she will always be. Just before we release you to go back and do the things you have to do as the marketing manager of this great estate, is it kind of done now, Valdivy, or are there still developments in the making? There's a few developments. Where we are now, there will be a hotel. Okay.
