Ruto, Jesse, AJ coming to you live on a Saturday.

We, AJ and I talked about this a little bit pregame the other day.

Jesse, I know you were there.

You live streamed the Gabe Landisog Presser.

It was funny. I was listening. I was in my car listening to Jesse's stream through my phone.

Through your car. He was listening to it. Nice. So it was like seven layers of technology gave me access to that interview as I was driving to the bar. Unfortunately, it sounds like it might take seven layers of technology to fix Landisg's knee. All right. You got to start off like that, huh? It was, uh, we were all not joking because it's not funny but you know we were we were talking in the media

room before like do you think he's going to cry like because this is you could just feel the weight

of all of it in the room before he even entered he's going to cry uh you guys taking odds on it

well just because you know it was a big moment now, you could tell it was a big decision for him.

And he got a little tearyed right at the beginning, but he held it together.

So we officially decided that no, he didn't.

The authorities on crying.

Yeah, no tear made it halfway down the cheek.

Did not count.

No, all jokes aside.

Just some really full eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really eye-opening. We were all really surprised at, as I'm sure you guys were, how forthcoming he was. And he even acknowledged, I know we typically stay pretty tight-lipped about injuries. But, you know, he did say this goes all the way back to the bubble when he got the freak injury.

Kail McCarr's skate coming up, cutting him on the knee.

This is all stemming from that.

It's just never fully gotten back to where it needed to be.

They thought they had it right.
