My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who's got all the answers. At least I hope so. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello, my friend. I have a question for you that I feel like you have the answer for. Okay. When you're doing the introduction by yourself, if I'm not with you, do you still do big hand gestures? Because I find it's almost more conducive to being allowed to do big hand gestures when doing

1:28.7

the introduction.

1:29.5

Every time.

1:30.1

I'm doing it right now with my hands in the air.

1:31.7

1:37.3

He's not going to play this weekend. And he's not going to play against Spurs for R.B. Leipzig. I just want to make sure people know that that's happening. I thought it was really unnecessary of him, though, to wait until we put out that episode. And then specifically let Tyler Adams get injured so that our preview of that game was less effective. That's basically what happened. Yeah. That's basically what happened. So no Tyler Adams for Rby Leipzig in the Champions League, round of 16, first leg. The actual breaking news. Yeah,
