It's good to talk to you, man. Good to talk to you, man.

0:22.3

Good to talk to you, man. There's a football game going on this week. You and I have

0:26.6

significant, what do we call it, culinary interest in this game. First off, I'm just surprised

0:32.5

you're allowed to wager. You are a man of the cloth. You are, you're not allowed. How did you
