| 1:44.2 | I was a little nervous for all you guys. It was live on Netflix, man. It was a big-ass crowd. Yeah, man, you didn't even stretch. No pre-game routine. I didn't see it take an energy shake. Just nailed it. But that was awesome. But Vrable is the best I've ever been around, man. And the fact that he wasn't there, that's crazy. |
