0:30.2	Bye! Good afternoon. Good afternoon. And I had a feeling that drop would last a while. Yeah. That's
0:37.3	going to have some shelf lights. That was advice on how to deal with my elbows, just to pump it. Keep doing that motion for the YouTube crowd. That's not going to add to the pit at all. Yes, exactly. So what is going on, John, your first game of the year last night? I got to go to the game as well. It was disappointing. They lost by 10, but it felt
0:55.4	like they lost by more for some reason. It did. And I can't wait to talk about it. I was thinking

1:43.2	But we're in sports radio. So we're going to. I'm going way over the top. Yeah. Yeah. But it is only just one game. Yes. There were four things that jumped out at me about that game. Yeah. Okay, in no particular order. The first one is if you shoot 25% from three. No. Oh. If you miss... 25% from 3?
