Oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schomler. This is Strong Opinion Sports.

Thank you so very much for tuning in. It's episode 298. And I'll be honest, I'm having a horrible week. I'm having the the worst week I've had in 2020 actually somehow somehow it's it's just been terrible

Tine of death a ton loss, and it's just been weird.

It started in a weird way.

Maybe the least consequential death of the week

was my pet mouse, which you're like what is that you have

pet yeah I have a couple pet mice and I was really excited my pet mouse was

pregnant and it was my favorite mouse she had a messed up ear like a little birth effect was black and white and you're like I had a pet mouse. I get it

She was pregnant. I was like we're gonna have pet baby mice. That'll be cute and interesting and fun

And and don't worry the story goes a lot farther than just pet mice but I my

pet mouse had her babies and they were still born you know I mean again they're mice

it's it's awful it's like sad. It's brutal.

But then my favorite mouse wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink anything.

And I was trying to like give her food and trying to give her water and it's like a little, like there's not that you could do, it's a tiny mouse. And woke up Sunday morning, she was dead and that's like not a fun way to start your football day and I just it was like a punch in the gut like look it's a stupid mouse I get you're like it's a mouse

still it was sad it was brutal it was depressing and that was the first punch in the gut of a couple more to happen in the week.

Next a family friend died in a car accident and it was someone that I I was worried about for a while and I it was just

it sucked loss is terrible It's not fun. And just another, it's, you know, punching the

gut number two. And number three was, my grandpa died. He had a heart attack and died.

And that's the most painful loss.

You may or I've never said this on the show.

My grandpa listened to strong opinion sports and it meant a lot to me.
