Guaranteed Human. And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ Buck, with you. Buck. We got a football game, man. I had a football game last night. How cool is that? It was really cool. I feel bad for you, though, because I was in studio last night.

I know I didn't walk out and probably get home closer to 10 o'clock my time, which meant you were in Canton, Ohio, and having to take the starter.

I would say I was probably waking up as you were walking in.

Yeah.

Yeah, because that's probably about times upright.

I pulled into the house just a little bit before six.

It's the flight, but then it's landing in LAX and having drive back down to San Diego that get you. But, like, this is where our scouting training comes in that you never think about when you have a drive.
