| 0:06.0 | Because you and I have both seen it. Playing cards, all right, it's it's is always time. Yeah, |

| 0:18.3 | unwritten rule like it's just kind of it's just well known that players are going to |
| 0:23.1 | gamble. Players are whether you're playing a bat game and in the locker room whether you're playing |
