Off 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: the field, the NBA has never been buzzier. And the 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: leaders in the sports industry Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Manfredd Michael Roscoe is the commissioner of the American Athletic Conference. 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: Hearan Smith, president of Ticketmasters, and the race car driver 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: Elio Castro Evs Bloomberg Business of Sports from Bloomberg Radio. Hello, 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: I'm Scott, I'm Evan, Novie Williams, and I'm Michael bar 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: And this is the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast where 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: we explore the big money issues in the world of sports. 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: And let's start. There's Phil Mickelson Tiger Talk. That's what 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: I did, yes see Tiger Talk. That's I guess is 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: a new show or something anyway, But as golfers, they 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: are thinking again of having another match televised. By the way, 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: hold on, Bar, were you talking about the Tiger King. 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I think he was talking about Tiger King. He's like, 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: there's Tiger Talk. There's a new show that that was 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: the best example of you being totally out of the mainstream, 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: and I've never been happier. I think there's a new 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: show called Tiger talkin Tiger Beat, Tiger Talk or Tiger King. 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're right up on your on your 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: stuff there, but I got But you know what, it 26 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: is a good segue, Bar, I'm going to give you 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: credit because it's showing that people are thirsting for different 28 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: content right now. They're at home, there's no sports to watch. 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: And with a little tip of the cap to all 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: the sports networks that are giving us classic games and 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: also other kinds of programming, Uh, if you can get 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson on the course live miked up, 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that a whole lot of eyeballs will 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: watch this. And I've been how don't you tell everybody 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: how we know or we think this is a possibility. Yeah, 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: it seems like this this whole The reason we know 37 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: this may be happening is that a fan kind of 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: suggested this exact thing to Phil Mickelson on Twitter and 39 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: he responded working on it. So at least if you 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: believe you know that tweet, these conversations are happening, I 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: think it makes total sense. You know, as we talked 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: about last week, guys, you know, we want to see 43 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: athletes out there more and and you can in some sports, 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: and golf is one of them, you can maybe do 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: that in an easier fashion. You know, you're not gonna 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: get Lebron James playing you know, johnas Ante Kumpo one 47 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: on one, but golf makes this very very simple. And 48 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: these guys have done it before, as you said, Scott 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: two thousan eighteen over over Thanksgiving, they did that, you know, 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: nine million dollar head to hit event on on Turner. 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: You know, there were some problems with the stream, the ratings. 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: As a result, it was free for a while. It's 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: kind of unclear exactly how popular that event was. But 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: when there's nothing else going on and you can hold 55 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: a safe sporting event with two of the biggest global 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: sports stars in the world, that seems like a no brainer. 57 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: Right now. How about giving me Fitterer versus Nadal somewhere 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: right now? I'll take five sets of that, right Tennis 59 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: is another one of the activities you can do safely. Bar, 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Would you watch it? Yes, I would, even in fact, 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you can take any sport. I mean, I know I'm 62 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: gonna sound crazy. You can do this with bowling, you 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: can do this with anything. Is is you know one 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: on one like this that would work? I would think Bar, 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: with your history with bowling, that you would do your 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: best to not bring it up. But for new listeners 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: that maybe weren't with the show when it started, would 68 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: you tell them why? Perhaps bowling brings a tear to 69 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: your eye the first time? Everyone people know that a 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: game is a perfect game. Twelve strikes in a row. 71 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: And the first time I got in that position, I 72 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: threw the first eleven and uh through the shot and 73 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: uh left the Greek church, which is a five pence split. 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: I said, the next time I ever get in this 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: position again, I'm not gonna be nervous. I'm just gonna 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: throw it and execute the shot. So here we are again, 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: eleven in a row, and I'm like, I threw it, 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: and I said, this is it. Get the champagne and 79 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: it left just a solid nine pin. And as to 80 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: ninety nine is the story of my life. It hurts me. 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: It hurts me to this day. I'll never will forget 82 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: where I was. It was three in the lanes, three 83 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: and four at Thunderbowl Lanes in the arena. I'll never 84 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: forget that Greek church. I like the lingo there. Well, 85 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: well the great church that happened at the old Taylor Lanes. 86 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: That's it's three on one side and two on the other, 87 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: and that it was. It was a mess. But but 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: the but the one at Thunderbowl, that was the one 89 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: where I thought, man, we're gonna celebrate with stakes tonight, fellas, 90 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: and didn't even happen. Movie. You should have gone and 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: celebrated anyway. You deserve it. Thank you, thank you. You 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: know who deserves praise. Also, we pick on him, or 93 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: I said, well, we don't pick on them, but people 94 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: pick on him a lot. Jim Dolan, and we all 95 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: know the owner of the Nixon Ranger is and CEO 96 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: of MSG. He gets a lot of grief. But Jim 97 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: Dolan and I hear this from a lot of people 98 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: either work for him now or have worked in the 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: past for him. They say they understand the public side, 100 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: and they understand the criticism, but they do say that 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: Jim is one of the most loyal people that they know. 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: We don't get to see that side of him all 103 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: that much in the public. But Jim Dolan is one 104 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: of the owners who has stepped up and said he 105 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: will pay his workers throughout the virus related shutdown, So 106 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: counter to maybe the public persona, but Jim Dolan deserves 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: some credit for this. Yeah, I mean it's it's always 108 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: hard when these announcements come out to to to fully 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: break down how big a deal this is. So roughly, 110 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: what Jim has said is that in all of his venues, 111 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, which includes Madison Square Garden but also Radio City, 112 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: the Hulu Theater, um, events staff are going to be 113 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: paid through I believe it's May three, which is an 114 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: extra month, versus what he had said originally. Um, there's 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: some fine printing here in it's like it's only workers 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: who averaged at least twenty hours per week over the 117 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: last six months. So I have no idea, I don't 118 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the way these workers work 119 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: to know if that is of the event staff or 120 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: if that is ten percent of the event staff. Um. 121 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: But you know, given that caveat, yes, no question there 122 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: are at their owners, and we talked about them last 123 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: week that are doing a lot less than this. The 124 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: fact that the Jim Dolan, who is a billionaire a 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: few times over, the fact that he is doing this 126 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: I think both well for him and and potentially, as 127 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: we talked about last week as well, maybe has an 128 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: effect on the perception of him and the perception of 129 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: his teams. Wants everything is back to normal. I just 130 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: want to say too, By the way, we need to 131 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: send get well wishes to Mr Doelan also because he 132 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: tested positive for the coronavirus and now according to a statement, 133 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: he is uh, he's in self isolation and he showed 134 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: little to no symptoms. So from what we're getting he 135 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: is doing okay. But Eat Wilson absolutely bar and looking forward, 136 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: I mean you have to wonder what are these leagues doing. 137 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: There will be a return to some semblance of normalcy 138 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: what it will look like, and we don't have an 139 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: exact date yet, but everybody's looking ahead to a time 140 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: when can we return to work, Will people go back 141 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: to the office, Can they return to the court, the rink. 142 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: But they're all going about it in different ways. Lots 143 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: of scenarios, but one thing they all have in common, Evan, 144 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: is that everybody's looking at at doing this this bubble 145 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: type theory where maybe we can bring the league, all 146 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: the players, all the teams to one central spot where 147 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: they can be shielded and protected hermetically sealed if you will, 148 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: and begin play, because as you and I and Barb 149 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: talked about, this is about getting games on TV, because 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: that's the real cash cow. Yeah, it's funny this idea. 151 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: It sounds great in principle. Um, it also sounds like 152 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: the kind of thing that would come up on a 153 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: Reddit tread at two in the morning. Uh, it's interesting, 154 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: and I believe, you know, if I'm not mistaken, I 155 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: think at least the Basketball League in China and maybe 156 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: some of the other leagues in China we're kind of 157 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: exploring this exact idea. It's a much harder thing to 158 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: do than it than it sounds like, and you're one 159 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: rogue infection away from having to shut the whole thing 160 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: down again. So I know people were talking about potentially 161 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: the NBA in Las Vegas, you know, an area that 162 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: they know well. And also there's a lot of hospitality 163 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: there that is that is pretty empty right now that 164 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: that might be a possibility, but again it's it's the 165 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of idea that sounds really good and sounds really smart, 166 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: but one any kind of misstep in the execution and 167 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: suddenly the whole thing falls apart. And my guess is 168 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: that we're not going to see this plan executed by 169 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: the NBA or even the NFL. What are your thoughts 170 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: about the Big Three that sort of retired NBA player 171 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: League three on three where they're looking at putting some 172 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: players in like a Big Brother type house, uh for 173 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: some programming and also have them play basketball. I mean, 174 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I think that is made potentially more reasonable just in 175 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: that it's a much smaller segment of people. You know, 176 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: if if it's one, you know, big house, that's great. 177 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: You can't put you can't put the NBA in one 178 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: big house, you know. And as much as you'd like 179 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to say that these guys can can perform and play 180 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: games in front of minimal people, you know, there's still 181 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: a large amount of people that have to film the games. 182 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: There's referees, there's you know, nutrition towel the whole thing. 183 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: There there's there's there's not an easy way to do 184 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: this with with minimal people. And and that's probably a 185 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: little less true with the Big Three. I kind of 186 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: like the Big Three idea, like kind of mixing sport 187 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: and reality show in like a very brazen and open way, 188 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: which is in my opinion, kind of what a lot 189 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: of sports are now, just without embracing it. But again, 190 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: I just think that the infrastructure and and manpower required 191 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: for a big league like the n b A, you know, 192 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: to to do this undertaking would be so massive and 193 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: so potentially risky just because you know, again you're you're 194 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: one sickness away from the whole thing coming down. Would 195 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: I be overreacting if I thought that have we've changed 196 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: the way we've viewed sports forever because pause of this 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: life changing moment with the virus? Now I'm on Mark 198 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: Cuban side on this one. I think this is a 199 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: damn of emotion that is going to be pent up. 200 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: And when these games do return, I think it will 201 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: depend on location. Will people rush to Madison Square Garden, 202 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: where there are lots of cases in New York to 203 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: be next to eighteen thousand other people? I don't know, 204 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: but I again always talk about scale and media and TV. 205 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: Will the eyeballs be there in a big way for 206 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: pro sports when they return. I am an emphatic yes 207 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: on that. I think the big variable there is is time. 208 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: I think I agree with the damn idea if you 209 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: know there are pro sports up and running in June 210 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: or July. If it is significantly longer than that, I 211 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: think that maybe changes things. And the one area where 212 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: I do wonder if fan behavior may change, you know, 213 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: especially if these leagues come back online and can't have fans. 214 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: If we're in this kind of you know, weird l 215 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: period of the virus where they feel comfortable holding the games, 216 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: but they don't feel comfortable having twenty or sixty people 217 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: in the stands around them doing it, I do wonder 218 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: if it will maybe change his behavior around going to 219 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: games period. And and the ticket world right now is 220 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: going through a whole world of hurt. They're not the 221 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: only ones obviously, um but my guess is that the 222 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: cost of tickets is going to go down significantly on 223 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: the back end of this, because I do think that 224 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: the first behavior to change maybe the impetus to go 225 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: to games period, just because I think for a lot 226 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: of people, the idea of gathering in large crowds, even 227 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: when it suddenly becomes safe according to experts, is still 228 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: going to be something that makes them a little uncomfortable. Well, 229 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: I go by what Dr Anthony Faunci said, and he 230 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: said it the best. Nobody can set the timeline except 231 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: the virus. The virus is going to set the timeline 232 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: on when we can go back to some normalcy and 233 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens.
