[beginning of transcript]

MR. ROBOT: Yeah, yes, let's get started, right. We were just talking--people come up to me, they come up to me all the time, and they say, Mr. Robot, how do you do it? [pause] How do you have America's premier blog-based fraternal organization, a blog with over 2,500 posts? People, you know, people want to know the secrets. So people ask me, how do you do it? They say, what's the trick? And then I look at them and I say to them [pause, Mr. Robot smiling to camera] I say, if you knew that, you'd be 3E, right? [laughter, cross-talk] You'd be 3E, wouldn't you? And we wouldn't be having this conversation. That's what I tell them. OK, OK, let's have some questions. Yes.

REPORTER ONE: Yes, thank you. How will the 2020 SEC Pick-off be affected if the college football season is delayed or even cancelled?

MR. ROBOT: Well, I'll tell you, Tom, that's something that we're talking about and thinking about and that we're considering very carefully. The Pick-off is the most important financial consideration for a lot of people, it keeps a lot of businesses in business, if you know what I mean. That's something you have to consider, thinking about all the, all the ramifications. And obviously it's one of 3E's most cherished traditions, and we take tradition very seriously around here. So, we're looking at it. We've got top people looking at this and it's something we're taking very seriously.

REPORTER ONE: If I can, a follow-up: Any chance that you might just have Bowl Pick Them 2020 and not the 2020 SEC Pick-off, or vice versa?

MR. ROBOT: Again, that's something we're looking at. I'd like to be able to tell you, hey, we're doing this, this, and this. But right now things are uncertain, they're uncertain and so we're just going to have to see where we are in a few months. Just saying that we're having a spring Pick Them, that's unprecedented. How would you even do the labels? But these times, we're in unprecedented times, so we're looking at things. OK, who's next, OK?

REPORTER TWO: How is 3E complying with social distancing rules and regulations?

MR. ROBOT: Well, we're doing great is how we're doing. We're following all the precautions, taking all the precautions and following all the procedures the wonderful health officials are telling us to follow. We're doing a good job, a great job with it.

REPORTER TWO: So there aren't any problems? As you may know there are some rumors online that--

MR. ROBOT: No, no, no problems. There's not--no, I am not aware of or concerned about any rumors online. Nope, nope. So, OK, what else?

REPORTER TWO: Then what do you say about the photographs that have been circulating, that--

MR. ROBOT: I don't know anything about any pictures.

REPORTER TWO: --show what people familiar with the images are describing as a quote naked tickle party unquote?

CAPTAIN WEST [stepping in front of podium]: OK, folks, that's it for questions today. We're done with questions. You can find out more information online on our website, still on blogspot, that's triepsilon.blogspot.com. Thank you, everyone.
