Uh, these are 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.680 our kind of idea men. Today's fun fact. Eighteen ninety seven, 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:56.840 Edinburgh based Pattinson, Elder and Company trained five hundred African 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:03.640 gray parrots to advertise their patentson Scotch whiskey. Wow. How 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.000 did they do that? They taught the parrots to say, oh, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:12.000 by Patterson's whiskey, Ah, send for some Patterson's whiskey. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.520 They then distributed the parrots to local pubs and offees 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:18.960 to promote their brand. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.240 Five hundred. That wasn't annoying? 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.520 Would you like to take a guess at how that worked? 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:27.040 Not? 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:27.720 Well? 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.360 Well, the cost of the parrots in promotion bankrupted the company. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.280 The brothers Pattison were sent to jail for fraud. But 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.200 another fun fact the reason they came up with the 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.400 idea to use the parrots in distilling. A parrot is 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.800 a stainless steel or glass device that sits on the 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.320 outlet of a still to hold a hydrometer for continuous 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.480 monitoring of the alcohol percentage. I knew that, all right, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.640 Why maybe you did, but you know, come on, do 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:56.040 it for you? 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.160 But I also do it for all my life is about. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.480 You know. I have a big poster of that Mickterers thing. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.880 It is time for the quick hits. Come to the 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:14.200 MS quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all. Pe all right, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:14.600 pee well. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.400 The biggest news of today is the Beard is no 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.320 longer near James Harden's gone. He is once again on 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.040 the move, of course, started in Oklahoma City, signing trade 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.479 to Houston, Traded to Brooklyn. A Kevin Durant tow on 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.440 the three point line from perhaps winning a championship and 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.200 sticking around there for a while, demands a trade to 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.880 go to Philly. And from Philly he comes here to 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.440 the Clippers, and now he's super sad with the Clippers, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.240 and he is headed to Cleveland to pair up with 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.720 Donovan Mitchell in an effort to get out of the 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.920 first round for the Cavs and convince Donovan Mitchell to 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.040 stick around long term. Harden, thirty seven, making over forty 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.280 million bucks a year, wants a two year extension worth 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.279 eighty million bucks. The Clippers said we're not into that, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.799 so he said, I'm not into you. He gets sent 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.039 to Cleveland for Darius Garland, a former All Star much 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.400 younger twenty six year old point guard who has been 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.080 dealing with a foot injury all season long. 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.560 Good news for the Clippers, they did add Kawhi Leonard 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.320 to the twenty twenty sixth NBA All Star Game. After 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.200 the selection of the initial twenty four All Stars. Leonard 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.159 was added to bring the number of US All Stars 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.040 to sixteen, the minimum required. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.760 It's his seventh career All Star appearance, the most recent 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.440 twenty twenty four, his fourth with the Clippers, and I 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:41.919 think it probably gets a little awkward because everybody speculated 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.920 he wasn't included because of the scandal reported scandal, alleged 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.920 scandal about some under the table payments from the Pablo 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.000 Torre and the Steve Balmer and all that sort of stuff. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.480 So now they're going to end up having to ask 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.840 all of those questions. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:03.200 Trey Tung, Tray Tung, there's more, Matt with the Utah Jazz. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.080 Oh, how about this one. This is the guy that 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.800 remember Rich Paul, who you heard from a little bit 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.640 earlier saying stupid s on his stupid podcast, wanted the 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.240 Lakers to trade for Jaren Jackson of the Memphis Grizzlies 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.440 and send Austin Reeves out. Instead, the Jazz capitalize and 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.480 take the former first round draft pick and all NBA performer. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.360 They get three. Memphis gets three first rounders from Utah. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.840 Remember they got five from Minnesota for the Rudy Gobert trade, 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.040 so they get three players as well, including former UCLA 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.560 Brewin and a man with a very large head, Kyle Anderson. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.120 Memphis now has twelve first round picks over the next 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:46.960 seven season. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.120 Kyle Anderson's got a big head, sticking your head off, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.040 joys case. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.719 The only team that has more are the Oklahoma City 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.039 under In Brooklyn Nets. Memphis acquired four first round picks 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.480 and a swap in the summer that sent Desmond Baine 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:10.800 to the Orlando Magic. So picks eventually turn into players, 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.720 and I guess you know Memphis is going to be 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.000 able to field two teams with all those picks they got. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.280 I don't think they are allowed to look at Dncic 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.920 named Western Conference Player of the Month in January after 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.160 averaging thirty four points per game in action. Right now 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.040 are the Lakers taking on the Nets. Nobody cares, Super 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.880 Bowl sixty Sunday and Santa Clara. Let's get out to Alcatraz, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.520 where Jack collins Worth, Tony Dungee, and Rodney Harrison are 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.120 standing by. Welcome to the Rock, Maria.

Am I right, I'm not even thinking about the game. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.240 Let's interview some of the people out here in Alcatraz. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.400 All right, now, let's go an hour and a half 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.400 south to Santa Clara. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:32.079 Well, thanks, Jack, incredibly enlightening. I'm sitting here on the 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.400 field at Levi's Stadium. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.320 Tell us more about that Native American sit in a 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.040 soulless whole of a stadium. The Pats owner Robert Kraft, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.679 like his former head coach Bill Belichick, was not selected 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.320 into this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame Class Craft. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.080 Well, I guess Bill Pollion is going to be extra 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.480 upset because he voted for Robert Kraft. I know I 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.200 voted for Bob, but I'm pretty sure I voted for Bill. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:57.640 Yeah. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.360 Take it to that old man. Matt beat his ancient. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.880 Skin piece of trash human. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.520 He was the first time Hall of Fame finalist this year. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.360 He did not receive enough votes from the fifty person 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.679 selection committee, as Steve Hartman explained to us, and already forgot. 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.600 But the class of twenty twenty six will be announced. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.680 I guess they changed the columnar. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.599 Yeah, you can only vote for three instead of just 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.720 voting for whoever you think is a Hall of Famer, 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.760 which is by last year. As great as it was 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.840 to see Antonio Gates go in, it was kind of 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.400 a it feels like this class is lacking a little punch. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.800 A little light, a little bit. Thursday night is Matt's 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.920 favorite moment in the whole NFL season. The NFL Honors 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:44.000 in San Francisco, Pat Mahomes Senior. Matt was tipping back 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:48.360 on Grandpa's cough syrip again back in jail in Texas 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.719 and after violating the term of his probation for DWI 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.280 back in twenty twenty four, he accepted a five year 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.280 probation sentence then, and part of the probation was no 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.320 more drinking. Well, they said in Tyler, Texas that he 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.439 was allegedly drinking alcohol again. I don't know how they knew. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.400 They that binocular strain in his living room. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.319 I just saw it. That's a violation of his probation. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.320 So he's been arrested. He poured some piece knops. It 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.960 must be more than just a sip of the devil's urine, right, Matt, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:18.360 It must be. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.439 You would assume, Yeah, you would assume maybe a little 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.800 little public action, a little a little bit of that. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.120 Too bad, you know, too bad?

They don't 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.240 want to mess with the NFL and have their rating hurt. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.920 The quarterfinals will instead be held on Wednesday, December thirtieth, 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.120 twenty twenty six, for the Fiesta Bowl, and a triple 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.160 header on January first, two days later with the Cotton Bowl, 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.120 Peach Bowl, and Rose Bowl. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.320 So oh, nothing like a little bit of Wednesday football. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:57.160 Actually love it. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.240 Well with Kirk Kurbstreet and his dog can't go wrong. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.600 Cannot tell us about the opening ceremony from Italy Matt 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.319 Friday Man with his baseball team Bonasera. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.880 It is Friday and it is gonna be Lindsay Vaughn 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.760 unfortunately not part of the production.

The Olympic champion said, no I 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.400 can with no ACL that she can't walk away from 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.400 this chance and what will definitely be her final games. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.320 I'm going to do it and a story, so I'm 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.840 not letting myself go down that path. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.600 I'm not crying. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:44.640 I'm my head is high, I'm standing tall and I'm 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.960 gonna do my best and whatever the result is, that's 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:47.400 what it is. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.800 But you can never say I didn't try. She does 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.880 stand tall.

That might have been my favorite intro about time 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.240 and fight off everybody. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.920 Fight fight on to you loaf. We could talk about 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.160 that in a little while if you want. But uh, 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.200 first and foremost, Uh, you know, Seattle's back in the 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.320 super Bowl. It's a different look. It's a different regime 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.280 pretty much same GM, but different group of guys, uh 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.240 than than the group that that you were part of 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.360 that had so much success. Uh. What do you make 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.960 of this team? And how much fun are they to 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.600 cover so closely like you do? 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:43.280 Oh? 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.160 Man, that's been incredible and I think it starts, you know, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.360 at the top. But you know, GM and coach, you know, 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.800 that relationship's got to work out for everything else to 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.440 go forward and uh, you know John, you know, through 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.240 the years of drafting with t right, they found a 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.320 ton of you know, future Hall of Famers and probos, 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.080 all pros. And then it's you know, picking up the 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.760 same way with Mike McDonald and just thoroughly impressed with McDonald. Uh. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.440 You know, he comes in, you last coach, you get 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.560 hired because they were waiting for him right two years ago, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:21.480 and youngest head coach you know, has to scramble to 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.320 put his staff together. And all he does is come 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.960 out the gates hot, going ten and seven, one game 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.720 away from making the playoffs, and and he was, well 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.920 I met him, you know in the offseason. He was 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.840 pretty hot about that, right. You know, it's ten and seven, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.920 which is incredible for any coach any year because it's 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.120 so hard to get a win in this league, never 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.480 mind ten of them in the year, and he was 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.720 he was not happy with it. And then you look 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.520 look up a year later and look where he is. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.960 It's no surprise because of his work ethic and the 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:51.880 guys he's brought in. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.880 You mentioned the success last year, LOFA and you know 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.280 you changed the quarterback position. I mean, that's a pretty 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.720 big deal. They get rid of Gino, they bring in 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.679 Sam Darnold. Kind of when that decision was made, what 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.159 were your initial thoughts and and did you envision it 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.640 working as as well as it has. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.639 Well, there's so many variables and factors that go into it, 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:21.199 even change at the offensive coordinator position, but specifically in 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.639 terms of the year that Gino was here. You know, 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.040 I still believe in Gino. I know he had a 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.920 he had a rough year in Vegas. But it's it's 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.720 the time that we're talking about two former Jets quarterbacks, right. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.600 I think that's probably the only common denominator or thread, 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.080 is that two guys that all the face of their 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.840 franchises respectful respectively that you know, they they started with 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.160 the Jets, and so I want to take them to that, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.439 you know. Uh. But then it's it's great the story 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.600 that you see with with Sam and like it's just 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.879 through the ups and downs, he never gave up, he 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.040 never gave in, He kept he continued to fight on, 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.520 as they say, and it's special to see, you know, 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.679 what he's doing now and the confidence restored because he 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:13.280 has every physical attribute you could want. Six four two 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.760 forty can you know, can run make every single throw 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.080 he can layer it as he did in that last 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.760 game over two defenders. That was insane throw. So just uh, 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.520 you know, happy to see him back with that swagger, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.160 right like the kid that led us to a Rose 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.280 Bowl win as a as a freshman or red shirt freshman, 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.520 took us down on two drives like when you had 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.560 to have it. I mean, he's done that a couple 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.320 of times this year and it's special to see and 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.000 I know that he is is grateful to be back, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.000 you know, in the position he's in because he's worked, 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:50.240 He's worked his ass off for it. 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.920 Well, I guess we'll stick with the fight on theme 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.000 the end. I'm sitting here at the Chargers facility doing 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.919 this right now, So down here a lot of shennon 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.840 oosu fans and no kind of what he meant in 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.399 his early part of his career to the Chargers and 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.080 how good he was and how much better it looked 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.720 like he was getting. Give us an idea defensively, what 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.800 is it that's made this one of the best units. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:12.480 In the NFL. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.080 How much of it is the head coach Mike McDonald, 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.520 the scheme that he's running and who are some of 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.320 the highlights, you know, beyond Shenna that are making this 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:21.480 thing work the way it works. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.600 Oh yeah, big China fan, And I'm sorry to all 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.400 the Chargers fans. I just don't know why they didn't 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.200 use him more down there, because I mean, you look 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.040 at it like per Reush he was one of the 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.120 most dominant guys. And I said it on the Pie 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.160 All Day podcast when he came up, I go, this 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.720 is one free agent sign that no one's really going 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.080 to discuss or I think that's a big splash. But 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.359 watch what happens, because he's an energy force out there, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:51.480 like he's built for it. He's physical, he's violent, fast, athletic, 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.760 and he's just tough, right and sometimes maybe too tough 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.879 because he was playing through injury the last two years, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.400 and it's good to see him healthy. And I think 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.320 that's probably because of how much depth we have at 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.040 every position, and it's it's hard to say that there's 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.359 one guy you got to be careful of. You got 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:14.320 Leonard Williams, you know, Trojan right there inside next to Chenna. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.080 You've got DeMarcus Lowrence, who's found the fountain youth. Or 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.560 maybe he was just playing too many snaps you know 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.600 on defense in ballast, right, that'll wear you down. Not 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.639 to mention he's thirty four in his twelveth year, I believe, 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.280 but he looks like he could play another five years. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.560 That's how amazing he's been playing. Jared Reed just a 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:37.400 veteran presence, and you know he does the dirty work right. 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.000 And then you got Byron Murphy, who I believe got 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.639 snub for the Pro Bowl eight and a half sacks 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.199 as the second year you know, detackleed that was our 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.440 first pick from the year ago. But they're sat across 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.400 the board too deep. Ernest jon for those in LA 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.440 you probably know the name Ernest Jones. That's a bad man. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.640 And he holds down in the middle with Drake Thomas 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.800 and and then the the secondary can't can't quite say 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.280 regional boom, but they're laying some hits out there. And 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:09.480 what this defense is doing is statistically impressive and special. 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.960 Now you don't have to be a usc guy or 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:16.720 a Northwesterner to root for the Seahawks in this game, because, 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.400 I mean, the Patriots are only really liked by New 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:24.840 England people. But it's a little dangerous loaf. Everybody's saying 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.080 that Seattle's supposed to roll over them and they're the 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.480 far superior team. How dangerous does that kind of talk? 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:32.720 How much does it make you worry? 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.639 It doesn't really the yeah, there is always they are 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.560 a formidable opponent and you never, you know, underestimate anybody, right, 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.520 you never looked past them. It's it's a super Bowl, 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.840 and this is what the one game you play to 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:53.439 get to like your whole life, assumingly and like as 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.560 well as the job that you know Mike McDonald's done. 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.399 You got to look across and as Mike Bravell in 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:02.560 his first year with a young second year year quarterback, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:08.040 just everyone's talking about the strict the schedule wasn't very impressive. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.280 You can't choose who you play, right like, you can't 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.840 pick your opponents. But but you can beat them, and 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:15.399 it doesn't matter how credit or ugly. 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:16.440
