204 283.5469that was my first time getting on the bus- the school bus.286.1672 
206 286.4297Cause when I lived in Bladensburg287.9046 
208 288.4773I could walk to school.289.5014 
210 289.6637Everything was pretty much right there.291.2507 
212 294.0071Uh, when I got there, you know, I had to get on the bus, and it was different getting on the bus, cause the people.298.4751 
214 298.5845And you got a lot of people on the bus all types of different personalities and302.3650 
216 303.3435it was just a lot going on when you getting on- when you riding to school on the bus for the first couple times.308.2454 
217DCB_int_01308.7089Do you remember your really first, first time?310.6758
218DCB_se1_ag3_m_01312.6709Mm no, but I do remember going.315.0620
220 316.4557I do remember317.2684 
222 317.8779for some reason, it was-319.1854 
224 319.5136/the wrong/ neighborhood320.4773 
226 321.1441<ts> one bus stop322.3972 
228 323.4911neighborhood was big, but it wasn't that big where it had to be two separate busses, but that's what it was.328.1837 
230 329.0315Two separate busses, so330.4744 
232 330.6099depending on who you331.6621 
234 333.7927hung out with334.5376 
236 334.7460or who you was cool with, that would depend on, you know.337.1240 
237DCB_int_01337.9054What do you mean?338.5669
238DCB_se1_ag3_m_01339.0462Like whoever my friends were340.6610
240 341.6821majority of my friends would ride a certain bus344.0443 
242 345.3207you know, and then346.5657 
244 347.2481it just so happened, like, you know, through time it didn't matter what bus you got on, it w- there wa- it was always fun.352.5384 
245DCB_int_01353.4031Was it like354.3259
247 354.6645just by all the kids in the neighborhood? Was it a white bus? A black bus? Was it358.9205 
249 359.1810like359.4727 
251 359.7071gangs, how was it divided? What do you mean by, like, there was separate busses?362.9329 
252DCB_se1_ag3_m_01363.0043Nah, because it was separate bus stops364.9161
254 365.0284So, if one bus will get there, s-366.6902 
256 367.0340um, faster than the other bus.368.6592 
258 369.1281So you can catch the early bus370.7325 
260 371.8294it may get there maybe ten, fifteen minutes faster than the other one.375.2154

589 818.2844I mean, that word can translate to anything.820.5777 
591 820.8149You know, somebody may think, um,822.5034

1119 1548.8323the coaching staff.1550.2431 
1121 1552.6621Our owner settles for1553.9545 
1123 1554.2993playoffs. He's not into winning championships. Our coaching staff has let us down. Our freaking general manager is1563.3916
