In fact, I edited a piece from Sarah, a really, really good piece like two weeks ago

and I haven't heard back on the edits.

Hopefully it isn't a timely subject matter.

It's evergreen. So let's talk sports. Herschel Walker,

former football great in the news. Sarah what do you think?

I don't think fucking around counts of sports but.

Of a sort?

I gotta tell you you guys know sports not, I played them them but I'm not a big observer of them quite a

bit better than me actually yeah I played I played a lot of them to watch them so I

was unaware of the Herschel Walker until I started doing like okay so okay

Trump's got this football player election denier crazy person he's gonna run I

started doing focus groups in the state only and I thought it was absurd at the time like I was

like well this person doesn't have a chance and then I went down to Georgia like the

devil and I listened to some Georgia voters talk to me about Herschel Walker, God of the state, he can do no wrong.

I remember my favorite, my favorite focus group anecdote about Herschel Walker is that we were

telling a group of swing voters,

have you heard the story about him playing Russian roulette
