0:50.1

Brilliant!

0:50.6

Good job, John.

Clever man with the sound effects we had the window there is Ryan Donaldson. He's much better with sound effects than he is with, you know, drinking beer or anything. I believe it on the hamburger. I can't tell you. I don't know what it was. It was like a meatloaf burger. It wasn't very good. Yeah, it wasn't the beer. I can hold my beer.

2:01.8

There was about... From both of those beers he had.

2:03.4

No, I'd... Yeah, exactly. I had two beers at the game. I can handle my beer. It was the burger that did it to me, and I feel worse. I didn't feel too bad for myself. I felt worse for about the three or four groups of people that walked by me as this was happening. No, you give him a story to tell they went to a ballgame.
