Anthony 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.120 Davis only had nine percent of the vote, and then other, 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.199 which was the Jamal Murray Yeah six point seven, Okay, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.640 that's it. Other okay, Uh, Joker had sixty five percent 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:51.080 of the vote. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.319 Though danger pretty good. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.400 Do you want to do one off the Aaron Judge 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:56.920 thing we've been talking about? 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.760 Well, it's kind of specific, and I want to be 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.880 fair to the situation because I may have misspoke last 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.640 hour where I said, did did the announcer say Aaron 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.640 Judge looked over to the dugout in a previous at 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.760 bat or earlier in that at bat, and Aaron Judge 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.880 hit a monstrous home run and it sounded do we 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.240 have the home run? Marvin? 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.840 What just a part of play the day? 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:24.400 Oh? 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.080 Okay, do you want the Blue Jays call of it? 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:26.600 Yeah? 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:27.120 He can do that? 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.960 Yeah, all right, Buck. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.840 So you and I looked at each other at the 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.640 same moment, right when we saw this three pitches ago at. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.240 What is that? Where's he looking? 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:40.039 Where's he looking? 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.200 And he did it more than once. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:46.320 Yeah, it's really really unusual. Then you and I both 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.960 looked at each other way saw that. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:53.200 Like did you see what I saw? And you don't 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.200 want to go, you know, throwing allegations around without knowing, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:56.920 but no. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:00.760 And he pumbled it. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.240 He hit it a country mile for his second home 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:06.880 run of the night. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.600 The timing of it, so they're speculating, don't want to 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.960 throw out any accusations saying anything, yes, and then all 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.080 this sudden and he pummeled it. Annie pumbled it. But 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.840 Aaron Judge afterwards said that the bench was chirping and 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.640 it was bothering his concentration, and Aaron Boone had just 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.160 been tossed out and he looked over almost I guess, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.880 with disgust at his teammates, like, guys, I'm trying to 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.960 concentrate here. I don't know if he did it in 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.480 previous advance, if he only did it at that at bat, 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.360 you're aaron judge. If it's bothering you and you've looked 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.680 over a couple of times, at what point does somebody 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.480 in the dugout and go, hey, guys, let's stop. Stop. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.359 But he said he had a talk with his teammates 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.080 after the game, so it wouldn't happen again. Just the 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.520 coincidence of he's looking over looking what's and it's a 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.160 side eye? Oh yeah, I would think if now you 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.280 can't step out of the box now and you got 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.720 you know, the pitch clock. But I mean, can you 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.320 just go guy like guys or quiet or stop something? 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.440 But it just is it just a coincidence that he's 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:25.680 looking over side eye. It's not like he's even looking over. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.959 It's side eye. I would think if you look over, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.160 you're going like, guys, stop, side eye looks like you're 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:36.360 trying to sneak something like what message are you sending? Hey, 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.840 I'm giving you a side eye? What's that? Mean, and 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.680 you're chirping and then all of a sudden, a couple 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.240 of pitches later, you hit an absolute bomb. Yes, Mark, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:45.800 but I. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.600 Don't think he had time to do the you know, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.440 full head tilt, just a side eye, like what are 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.320 they doing? He hits the home run like two seconds 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.240 after he side eyes him. That's impressive to me, the 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.680 fact that I can side eye and look right at 0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.120 the picture. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.000 Yeah, pulling. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:01.200 Well. 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.080 The great thing is that they play again tonight, so 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.680 it's not the last game of the series. You gotta 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.760 have a storyline that goes to tonight as well. So 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.840 all the press in the press box got winded this. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.520 So when they went down after the game and they 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.880 asked both managers about it, the Blue Jays manager discussed 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.440 He said, yeah, I saw it. It was kind of odd 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.320 that the hitter would be looking in that direction. He's 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.600 obviously looking in that direction for a reason, and we'll 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.400 dive into that a little bit more tonight tomorrow to 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.120 make sure we're not susceptible to anything. So he addressed it. 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.520 He did not accuse him, but he said, hey, we're 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.239 gonna we're gonna take a peek at this. They're probably 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.960 gonna go back and watch film and see if it happened. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.080 Well, did anybody else do it? Did he do it 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.039 in any other advent? 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.280 I'm reading the stories in the Toronto newspaper and there's 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.800 nothing about other players doing it. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.279 But they got this late. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.880 Well, if the picture's tipping his pitches, then, but it 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.360 was a blowout. It was like six to nothing at 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.760 the time. Of course it was yeah, when you tip 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.680 your pitch in your set, Yeah, but did anybody else 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:54.800 look over to the dugout? 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.600 I mean, that to me is the most obvious thing 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.279 in the world. If nobody else on the team was 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.520 doing it, then there's nothing to I mean, I think 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.840 it's funny that the manager sitting in the dugout noticed 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.560 him looking over the opposite direction. How in the world 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.440 could he have possibly noticed that from. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:08.720 Where they are. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.960 It's impossible for the Toronto manager to be sitting in 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.880 the dugout and be like, hey, did he just look 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.039 over at the Yankee dugout. That's a little weird. You 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.720 could never see that from their vantage point. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.359 Don't you have monitors in the dugout? 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.400 Well, I don't know. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.320 I mean, how much are you allowed to be watching TV? 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.640 Screens while you're in the dugout. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.520 I don't know. I don't know the setup that. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.359 I would guess that isn't that Part of what the 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.520 estros got in trouble for was having screens of the 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.400 broadcast set up. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.880 Now they had garbage cans, Yeah. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.320 They had that, But remember they had the video of 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.839 them running into the and looking at the TV screen 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.039 to I mean, I don't know, I don't know that 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.279 you're allowed to watch the broadcast? 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.440 Yes, is stealing signs even possible? 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:46.600 Now? 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.920 Does every pitcher and ketcher use the PitchCom system where 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.839 it's on their body and it's signaled or is that 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:53.520 a choice? 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.159 But that doesn't matter. You can tip your pitches, tip. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.880 Your pitches from like your location and your arm and 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.440 things like that. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.240 Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.960 Oh I thought it was about tipping. I thought this 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.240 was about a sign stealing. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.320 No, I don't know how you could do that. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.320 Yeah, that's about the game. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.320 Tipping your pitches. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.839 Yeah, that's like how you hold the ball, Like every 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.120 time you throw a curveball when the glove is in 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.840 your when the ball is in the glove in your hand, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.039 you turn it a certain way. And that means that 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.760 you know, Okay, now we know a curveball's coming. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.800 Yeah. This, this to me wasn't stealing a sign as 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.520 much as it was. We're picking up on tendencies and 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.120 you're saying something to Aaron Judge if that was the case. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.840 But if nobody else was doing it, then there's nothing here. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.360 If he did it in a previous hit bat, why 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:39.800 would you just give Aaron Judge this information? Questions answers, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.360 we don't have them. Uh, let's see, so we got 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.599 new pole question we're gonna go with. Do you want 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.440 to do Aaron Judge? 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.000 But I don't know, probably not. Maybe you want to 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:54.520 just dive into the draft lottery? Sure, landing spots for 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.080 for Victor? 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.719 Are we doing what's best for the league for Victor 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.640 wm Bayama with the have lottery coming up tonight. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.839 And do what's best for his development as a player. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.960 Of course, his marketing, his brand. Okay, if you said, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.440 where's the best are you going to have? How many 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.880 can you put there? How many cities can you have? Five? 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.000 Yeah? 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.640 I think if we do it on Dan Patrick dot 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.960 com there's more options available. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:22.040 Okay, so we could blow it out, all right, Pistons, Rockets, Spurs. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.840 They have the best odds at fourteen percent, Hornets, Blazers, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:33.200 Magic Pacers, Wizards, Jazz, and I think the Dallas Mavericks 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:39.640 are after that three percent. So what do you do? 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.800 Which cities do we want to put in there? Do 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.800 we put in? You know, the top three you have 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:49.160 the best odds? I think Dallas would be the best 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.600 place because I get him, I get him there with Luca, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:52.600 that'd be a lot of fun. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.080 Yeah, as long as he doesn't want to ever shoot 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.320 the ball. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.520 Well he could, he could, He can learn how to 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.800 do other things while Lucas shot the ball. Yeah, that's 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.360 the take of victory. He needs the ball in his hands. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:04.640 Yeah. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.240 Uh, do you put Portland in there? Man? I love 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:12.440 Portland with dang. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.920 Although a lot of people are talking about how you know, 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.320 big men are sort of cursed there, that's true, Yeah, 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.520 something worth thinking about.

What about the Chicago Bulls? Did they 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.040 have similar odds when they got Derreck Rose. They're at 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:56.640 one point eight percent, Oklahoma City at one point seven percent. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.000 How about we'll throw it up there, the most fun 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.720 place for him to fun?

It's 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:08.000 a one year deal and terms of the agreement were 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.719 not disclosed, but the Wall Street Journal says it's one 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:18.360 game for one hundred and ten million dollars, so you get, well, 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.240 you have pregame and posts, so you get maybe seven 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.640 six seven hours for one hundred and ten million dollars. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.199 This is pretty radical. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.840 I think I need to renegotiate with Peacock here. So 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.599 the eleven year contract that the NFL has with NBC 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.760 that began this season, Peacock also gets an exclusive regular 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.199 season game. Peacock is going to get the January twenty 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.320 third Buffalo Bills Los Angeles Chargers game. That'll be in primetime. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.240 You're going to have Bengals Steelers precede that on NBC, 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.720 and then the game after that will be on Peacock. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:02.679 That'll be Buffalo facing the Chargers. All right, download the app. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.640 You can watch this program for free. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.400 Yes, Paul, Yeah, this is the first ever exclusive live 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.800 stream NFL playoff game. That's where you know, we say 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.559 the future is now. It's where everything's head at a 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.120 la carte, buying what you want, not getting what you don't. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:23.240 I guess NBC Sports Championship season. It's the Preakness Stakes 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.360 that'll be coming up at four point thirty Eastern on 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.160 NBC and Peacock Andrew and Washington leads us off this hour. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.319 We'll check in on the Lakers as they get ready 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.480 to take on the Nuggets coming up tonight. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.240 Hey, Andrew, stay, Good morning, Dan and Dan. Thanks for 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.640 all the Pacific Northwest love, which your Seattle Cracken sweatshirt 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.080 and seatons. Plea for Portland to get Yama, that would 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.760 be great. I do think that if when Byama comes 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.160 to Portland, Dame will stay. But if they don't get 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.040 a good draft pick, I think they'll be a push 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.000 for him to go to a more suitor, like a 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.959 winning franchise. So I thought yesterday, also, I was listening 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.640 to the podcast. The title of the third hour podcast, 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.480 did Nick Wrong? Dirty is that Losers legacies Nick Wright. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.760 So I don't know who's in charge of that one, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.280 but anyways, I did have a little thing. I'm going 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.080 to stick with the trend the Lakers in six they 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.840 split the regular season series between them and the Nuggets. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.760 They each won their home games, but no games after 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.480 the trade deadline, when the Lakers really became the Lakers. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.880 So I do have a trivia. 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:29.280 Question for the room. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.400 If you don't if you can, all right. 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.000 All right, Lebron James now has won forty one playoff series, 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.320 which is an NBA record. Which player did he pass 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:40.320 for that record? 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:47.760 Okay, so forty one playoff series? 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.480 Yes, the Lebron James now owns that record. Which player 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.880 did he pass to get the record? 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.280 All right? Well, it wouldn't be somebody who played in 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.880 the sixties or seventies because they wouldn't have played his 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.760 many playoff seriess Lebron. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.199 Yes, manage nobly. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.520 No right era? 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:19.160 All right?

As far 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.920 as team's success in this series. Dan wiki good to 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.560 have him back on Lakers beat reporter for the La 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.880 Times covers the NBA. If I told you three months ago, Dan, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.240 this is what we would be talking about, you would 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:03.960 have said what. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.320 I would have said, Daniel, A crazy person, Yeah, that 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.760 this is you have maybe had some sort of head 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.440 injury or something like that, that this would not have been. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.240 It's funny. I ran into Thomas Bryant yesterday Denver practice, 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.040 and you know, he requested a trade from the Lakers 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.600 around the trade deadline. Ended up in Denver, and you know, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.080 he asked me how I was doing, and I said, 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.280 I'm still surprised that I'm here, and he, you know, 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.840 the two of us kind of had a big laugh 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.880 about that, because, you know, the storyline for the Lakers 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.280 from most of the season wasn't like can this team 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.360 become a contender? It was like can this team get 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:40.479 into the Plane Tournament? 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:41.280 Yeah? 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.960 Like I spent a lot of time this year running 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:49.000 sort of tiebreakers for twelfth place at most of the plays. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.439 And you know, it happened pretty quickly where you know, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.080 the team just started winning three or four games all 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.879 the time, you know, and just kind of all right, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.040 they're not twelfth anymore. Now they're tenth, And now they're 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.639 not tenth anymore, and now they're they could maybe be fifth, 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.679 and you know, they ended up in seventh place, but 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:13.120 they were playing really good basketball, and they've been healthy, 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.520 and they you know, they've been the best defense in 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.400 the NBA since the trade deadline. They've been the best defense, 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.520 you know, in the league in the playoffs. At this point, 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.879 I probably should stop being surprised. I don't know that 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.639 I fully have embraced that part of it. Yet I 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.439 still think that, you know, it's kind of wild that 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:37.440 my season professionally is still going. I wasn't. I thought 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.920 i'd be in Chicago for the draft combined to see 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.439 where Lee Minyam ended up. I didn't think i'd be 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.840 in Denver, But I'm in Denver. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.879 Why is it Lebron the GM failed, but then Rob Polenka, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.000 the GM saved the season. So Lebron doesn't get any credit. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.000 He gets blamed, but he didn't get any credit for 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.919 what happened at the trade deadline. Is is that a 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.879 fair fair approach to this story? 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.159 Yeah? I think so. I mean, I think there was 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.560 a fair amount of sort of hand washing of the 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.960 GM duties post Westbrook that like, that was a trade 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.879 that nobody really wanted credit for pretty quickly, and so 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.960 a lot of people kind of step back from the table, 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.560 and I think, you know, Lebron's role as a decision maker, 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.960 and this wasn't you know, go get me D'Angel Russell. 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.560 It was more like, let's fix this. I want to 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.760 fix this. And you know, it wasn't totally clear what 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.240 the Lakers were going to do. They ended up, you know, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.879 the first shot was kind of trading for Ruy Hashimura 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:34.639 and it was like, okay, well, maybe they're going to 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.320
