| 0:11.2 | I didn't get any sleep last night because they announced this. They decided to announce this |
| 0:15.4 | really late on Sunday evening, which I thought was really strange. I didn't because they probably |
| 0:21.8 | didn't want to make as much a fuss over it. And that's why they did it. They did it strategically. |
