| 0:16.3 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:18.7 | I'm Robert Maze. |
| 0:19.8 | Joining me tonight, my friend Nate Tice, Nate, how are you? Doing great. Six weeks. We knocked them down. We just had some more fun games than another fun pack Sunday game. There was only like two afternoon games. So it was really like a Sunday morning adventure and a Sunday night adventure with a little like, a little midday lull, but actually it was a, it should have been a fun, |
