You know, somebody tweeted me and said that Iron Eagle dropped in a dipsie do in the playing tournament. We should see we could find that, M. Did he steal it from you? Of course he did. Yeah. You invented dipsy doo between the legs. I have no idea where I think we both probably got it. The old dipsy-do. I think it was around in 1920.

0:54.8

Right.

0:55.0

It's like an old-timey announcement. It's an old-timey phrase. You know, like in baseball, they got all those old-timey phrases. Like, he whines and deals. Right. Nobody actually says that anymore, do you think? He whines and deals. Vind did. Yeah, Vind definitely. He could pull it off.

1:10.2

But, yeah, so ladies and gentlemen,

arena. I have many, many thoughts, but first, John wants to be rate me. Go ahead. All right.

1:24.3

Be right away. I told you. Brian tried to tell you. Uh, I told Michael. I told Pepe. Yep. None of you would listen. Today, Luca Donsich approved to win postseason awards. The two games for when he went to the birth of his daughter. Yep. Have been reinstated. You insisted they would not be. But you also said something that turned out to be, is it prophetic when you are? Yeah, prophetic, yeah. When you are projecting into the future and you're right.
