Anybody else don't ask the question. If you didn't do anything yesterday, you did nothing. What do you mean? You did nothing. Hey, guys, what would you guys do when he lived through you guys? Hey, I did nothing. Yeah. Well, I was at Little League. So there was not an option for me to do it.

6:10You know, you always use Little League last all day. He always uses Drew as an as an as an escape as an excuse, man. It's always an excuse. Hey, final start drinking during the week. I mean, I've just there you go. I'm different. That's the show for always that was that 10. Oh, that's 10 dollars. What it was a passive aggressive for status right off the bat like this. Yes. With some sarcasm wrapped like it was wrapped. This is what the slow tea looks like. Oh, snap. Bring you into my home snap, but you ever brought me around your wife and kids except for one time. And that's all a real thong door. And so that kind of disqualifies it. You do. By the way, I was thinking about this yesterday. I think our show leads the nation in funeral talk. Like there's been a lot of discussions over the past couple of years about funerals and I don't know what that says. People die. You know, it's a great place. What did you know? It's something that's going to like continue to happen. It says we go move along. I buy it.

7:10Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. People check you check out here. Yeah, you know, all the time. I'm out there. Yeah. That is fair. All right. So we've got the first four games. We had the first two last night. We got a we got another pair coming up later on tonight. Whether or not can impact your arrival to date in their Brady to take to take in some of the action for March madness or what? Surely not going to let it happen, man. Come on. We had a route on these these red hawks, you know, you got to make sure these this team can make it through the minute this far. So no, whether should not impact it two great games that have started off last night. Not sure if you guys got a chance to see them. But I thought Howard had that one in the bag. And then they kind of let UMBC back into it. So it's pretty cool. Yeah. I watched it a little bit, but I think my picks were correct so far. So that's a good thing. Think I'm out the game. I think I'm out of the six picks. I think I'm out of the game. Did you do a bracket where you picked the playing games?

8:12I did. It didn't I mean, didn't. I'm pretty certain because I picked those. That's why I even talked about you did you were on Texas. Yeah, you picked Texas. Yeah, we do that for the draft games. I wasn't sure if you did like a bracket with it. Yeah, but that was on on our site. That was on our that was on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, but they don't count the playing games. Yeah, it was on their brackets. It was on there though. Yeah, because I remember. Yeah, because I remember looking it up. I must have missed that because I maybe maybe a didn't log it because it still has us at like everybody has zero. Yeah, I don't maybe it didn't log it. But did you have like Texas going past the first round? I got to look at my bracket. That might be why I got to go back. Maybe that's what it is. I don't know, but I'm in first place right now because nobody has a way has any games up. So alphabetically, you know, it was pretty cool growing up. My name got called and roll call pretty quickly during the course of the home room.

9:16Graduation too, right? Yeah, graduation. Get it right out. Get it right out of the gate. I mean, every once in a while, there would be someone who had like an eye in the second part of their or like an owl or something like that. But for the most part, I was generally called pretty early, man. Oh, yeah. And I made a habit of it because on draft day, they called me second. So it was kind of like, like, hey, let's make a deal of this thing, you know, I'm first right now. I'll tell you that, zero, zero, zero, zero. But I'm first right now. That's the point of the story. Thank you. I haven't done my bracket yet. Just letting everybody know. And I hope y'all not behind my back. Well, you had good baseball history. Well, you could get baseball. There's a clear strategy here. That's correct. There's a clear strategy here. Well, what's the strategy here, Jonas? First off, you could make changes if you're going to say it's, we're going to, I don't want to know what to copy mine. You could make changes after the fact. Even if you thought that was the case. Everyone's got theirs in so far but you. So all you're doing is risking you once again, only

10:17feeling out half the bracket, not being a part of it. Hey, there wasn't a submit button was there? Because I did my bracket. I saw all my picks, but I didn't see a submit button. So I don't know if they logged them or not. Now you're starting to understand why I've complained publicly about this website for years. I was just trying to say it without. I was saying it without trying to get. No, Jonas, Jonas, no. Scott told us about the God of the people. Scott sends me a text after every single year when I complain about it. And he's like, I know, but you know, if you can just try like no, Scott, we need a better website for this. That's all I'm saying. I don't know if I have a better website for this. I logged to to your point. I mean, Scott, it's not me. It's Brady, but I'm just saying I don't know my pick out. I will gladly take the blame. OK, for our listeners, for those who join, they don't know if their picks go in either. No one knows. I don't know. It's like a big flip of the coin. And meanwhile, we're trying to sell this darn thing. Oh, I just, it's a girl all over the world.

11:18Yeah, Dei, can you mark what you're talking about? Yeah, I think, man. Yeah, it is the yearly tradition. Now, for those of you wondering, man, what's the place you'll fire it up? Because you could literally copy and paste the same complaint into the Sunday evening show we did together 10 years ago, 10 years ago. Y'all been doing step radio for 10 years? Long time. Talk about that. I think it's 11. Is it really? Long time. Yeah. Hi. Yeah. I mean, the good old days when Brady was doing the show out of, you know, some swap meet warehouse next to a place it was having a bot mitzvah in the middle of our show. Oh, my God. I know I love this. I love this. Oh, huh. So it was fun. It was amazing shows. I've read it. I read it this office space at a, uh, uh, we work. It was a, no, no, no, no, it wasn't like a we work. It was, um, they were kind of trying to be like that.

12:19But it was, it was like one company that basically had the floor below. They had a few other offices that were shared above that. But it wasn't like a we work, but anyway. So I'm in there on a Sunday night and this, the landlord of the company that owned this place, I can't begin to tell you how many corners they were trying to cut. They would like shut off some of the utilities in the weekends. So I'd go in to do our radio show and I'd be like, I don't have internet. Like I'm, I'm, and so I'd call them to like, Hey, I need internet. Like what, what's going on here? They'd be like, Oh, you know, sometimes we, uh, we lose it. Turn the weekends or something. I'm like, no, it's something I'll pay to bill as well. Yeah, I was like, what do you, what do you mean by that? Like you got like a, a partial plan or a, like a part-time plan? Like what's happening here? So one of the nights I actually do have internet. I mean, I'm inside this office. That's a small office. Like it's probably, I don't know, hundred square feet, hundred and face square feet. And, uh, there was just a little bit bigger than the closet that I was in Iowa.

13:22Correct. Like picture the closet you're in. Okay. That, uh, that Iowa Sam tries to argue with us about for years now. We'll picture that coin. It's next, uh, and a mop and whatever. Yeah, and imagine Yamaha's next to the Ajax. So I'm, I'm starting to hear people like walk up to the psych common area outside of my offices. And there's a rabbi and all of a sudden they start singing chants and there was, there was some sort of, yeah, I'm texting him going, what is that? What's going on? And so, like, what the hell is going on? I had to get it another day. They've got some sort of like service that's taking place. And then afterwards, it was like a single's meetup. Like so it was like for, you know, people to meet.

14:25And, well, he was there too. Yeah. But I think they were, I don't know if they're trying to, you know, okay, the relationship with that. I just, I just know Jonas kept getting upset with the music. I go, I don't know what's going on. All right. I'm outnumbered here and I feel like this is going to end well. So I've complained, but there's not much I can do. Like, I don't want the massage coming after me. This was taller than everybody though, because I get away a little gap that the party is true, but the rabbi gave me a look. And I was like, oh, all right, so you know what that? The parody was that I thought he, I thought Brady was just, like, I thought he was lying because I couldn't figure out why there would be a bot mitzvah on a Sunday night at eight from eight to 11 p.m. Eastern time. I'm thinking I was like, this doesn't make any sense. Why, like, why is he making up this story? And it was a full, yeah, full blown. Well, I set them videos, I think.

15:25It's all I want to justify this. Cause I was like, I don't, I don't understand what's happening. I guess Sunday night is that the night this usually goes on? You know, it's better than rolling out a strip club. I mean, they're just trying to control the environment. That's true. I did read an article yesterday that was stating that the dating scene in New York City is so bad that they are having men go to these like speed dating events or whatever for free women are paying a hundred bucks. Oh, wow. And the ratios are still like three girls to one guy. Like no one can find a guy in New York City right now. Don't feel like they have to be respectful to women. Could you imagine back in the day? Just social media has desensitized dudes to being gentlemen, like to having shivery and stuff. They're still somehow there. They're still some old school raised guys. But the one thing that I've noticed and then I tell my daughters this, I instill this in my daughters every single day is to make sure that you deal

16:29with somebody who has old old school qualities. If they're, if you're dealing with somebody new school, it is a very, very different way of interaction and, and courting. There is no courting anymore. Actually, I mean, people are, you know, you're desensitized to certain words that used to be like, oh my God, you can't say that. I still, I still open the door for my wife, but it's not because I want to. It's because my truck doesn't work on that time. So I have to like go around and manually use the key. I still open doors for, for women, no matter who they are. If you're a woman, I'll open the door for you. If you're older man, I'll open the door for you. I make sure people go through the door. I'll hold the door if you're too far away. Think about this. This might sound foreign to people these days. I will actually hold the door and wait for you to get to the door and let you have the door before I walk away from the door. Like little things like that, you know, I still let my wife into the car.

17:29Like not, not from sitting inside of the car. Actually, I actually walk up to the door that my, my wife and my daughters get into and I open the door for them and make sure that they know that. That's, that's, but yeah, man, dating's got to be crazy these days. Cause you don't have to interact with anybody. That's true. You see it all social. You got to take it one step further. You got to rip off the door. All right. That's, that's what I like to do to show the muscle. Not only am I being chivalrous, but I'm also, you need to sometimes have the strength to rip off the power you said it to the side. You say, I'm going to come back and fix that later. Yeah. Or someone else can handle this because I'm a man. Yeah. That's what men do. Yeah. Yeah. With the handle still in your hand, by the way, that's right. Damn straight. I got to put the handle back on the door. That's on the ground straight. Eat a one ratio. You imagine being in demand like that. I knew you're going to put up, but they're sitting there. Don't do just sit there, but they're sitting there having their, and they're hitting too late. I'm in if you are. They're hit to that office.

18:30It's Brady Brady, you go. We go, come on, bowl, bowl and ax. Right the Brady spot. After they go from that day, and you know how, you know how Jonas does that where Jonas is like, um, and for the Fox Sports Radio bracket challenge is live. He's like trying to read through it. I like trying to wrap you my bike. Yeah, everything. I give them thin walls, man. Don't just be up in there, putting his hand on a wall like not to deal for that. Damn it. Damn it. Why can't I read this? Showing that stretch in them pants at the core of Jonas Knox is his nucleus. Um, yes, I'll just be waiting for the ones that can't get cute. That's what I'd be doing. Sit right there with the rabbi like, hey, rabbi, give me some words of wisdom while I wait. You know, it's interesting. Once they get tired, once the ones that figure out, they can't get cute. I'm going to have more opportunities than cute soon as they get them figuring out

19:31that only one of them can get a hold of him. I'm not three to one ratio right here, baby. Right here. I told the guy go, can you guys like post something next time? So at least I'm like aware of this so I can make arrangements around this. I'm like, is that like you guys posted like, you know, like Jewish singles meet or whatever it was? It was bizarre. Hey, man, you got to worry about no fights breaking out. No, no guns getting pulled. I don't think I could be wrong though. I someone said, obviously, yeah, I was about to say I could be wrong. Yeah, I could have had the wrong, but hey, you know, they let us do our thing. Okay. Y'all got that y'all got the show done. You got the show in. You got everything figured out and everybody had a good old time. So I think it's interesting how I start off so high in this seat, but I guess I'm so fat and heavy that the seat just goes down. Oh, you didn't adjust that on your own. You don't see it just going down while I'm in the middle of talking.

20:31But I got it. See how low I got. That's going to say why why I get so I got a fat if I see it doesn't want to stay out. It's not. Oh, my bro. I don't see it. It's just slowly falling down. Maybe it's just. I went from tall. I went from tall to little kid table. What the hell? No, that's bro. My hands have been the same place the whole time. I'm still going down midday, midday, going down. You're like the kid on big when he goes back to his rhythm side. Tom Hanks just shrinks as he's walking in his giant shirt. I was above the mic when we started the segment. Yeah. All right. Maybe the chairs just broke. I feel like Norbit right now. All right. Chairs just broke me. I'm still going down.

21:32I feel like I've filled it up. I'm going down. Well, I know this. If you're in the video game celebrities are just a good time. The global gaming league is a video game league with celebrity owned teams from T Payne to Neo competing and everything from Call Duty to Tetris sign up and join the league now global gaming league dot com. Yeah. You got to take a picture of this. I could go on my Brian Cox spiel right now, though, but I ain't going to do it. What's the plan? I ain't going to be that person. Ginny Martin is talking about. I ain't going to do it. I ain't going to do it. What? Wait till you see this picture, bad. Like this is crazy. Like how I start up above the microphone just pay attention to where the microphone is on my face, man. So stupid. You were right. Yeah, your knees were up against all the tables. And it's an adjustable chair that you can adjust on the side and it drops down levels and all of a sudden, you've just dropped down the floor.

22:36Now you're at a school desk. Look where the microphone is. Cute. What happened? I'm fat. My seat went down. I was totally about like the microphone was to my chest. It was to my chest. And now it's to my forehead. Now it's now it's your forehead. Yes. What is happening? I don't know. Yeah. I guess studios been through it, man. These seats have weight limits on it. That's all. Well, studios been through it. Someone said the studio might be done, but for the ones that get it done, Grainger offers access to a million products and a scale to deliver. What do you need them? The right tools and supplies. They're never far away. Maybe we need some of the studio. I love it. We need to call and click Grainger.com or just maybe stop by.

That delivers every year, but you cannot think of a March madness that you look back on and go well Those games kind of sucked. There's always a good game and we had two of them last night just to get things started So which is there's always good dating shows on on streaming channels, too, you know, just think that you don't Really get into the game that you're watching What were you watching which one? I was watching the love is blind reunion, you know, and it was like Is the is the season for love is blind. Is that an Ohio this year? It was in Ohio the last one that just it's already over. Yeah, it's over Yeah, how did it go? There were some good couples maybe one or two one one mix couple real good couple like they were the best couple like they really Seemed like it was a true love that they found and prove that love is truly blind. I guess this good love with that Wait, were they were they blind

31:47No, just love is blind you date through a wall and you get to know them and then by the time you get done with the experiment Getting to know these people you're dating speed dating through a wall and then once you finish up You got to ask that the only way you come out of it is if you asked them to marry you Behind the wall and then you meet them then they expose each other to another to go meet them and then you get So I assume they can't ask questions like hey, how tall They have asked how tall I've heard like there you'll get douchey dudes or douchey girls that that want to try to Make it like cool through a wall through a wall like so they'll be like yeah, I'm like I'm really in the athletics and I like getting out like you know That's like co-work for if you if you like a Chick that squats and and does curls and goes, you know, what are you gonna accomplish through a wall? You're supposed to get to know things like the fat like who where you come from like what type of family did you come from me some glory help now things like

32:57Things like the glory hole like are you into like extra curriculars? What are you into? Yeah, right? Yeah, it's not it's supposed to be about everything else But your your looks You're supposed to be But that's the most important thing. You're supposed to be attracted to the person's my glory hole is I mean But it's Three times because she's making sure everybody out there. No, it's it's unrealistic because Anybody that says it's about what's on the inside. Yeah, but it's what's on the outside that got you to talk it in the I try to poke holes through it, right like okay I could get to know you through the wall and and that's enjoyable. I'm whatever And I could even be wanting that Jerry But then I started asking myself like what if you snore? What if you're a big-time snore? What if you have tremendously bad Body odor. What if you have like holotosis in the mouth? What if your breath is just wretched?

34:01Like you know, I mean like what if your toenails look crazy, you know, I just I just don't know I I can't sit there and say I'd be able to get over certain things that once I'm around you You know like I just don't You got to you got to be able to get through those things too. That's I try to poke holes in it But I did watch the reunion But a lot a lot of those flaws can be fixed if you you know If they peel back the curtain and it looks like a bowl of prunes like what are you gonna do? Well the Kardashians have made it that way Oh, come on. I mean I mean you go get that Kardashian kit like they give you a face, they give you boobs, they give you a butt like they can't get your legs But oh, it's not all the area. They give you lips. It's like it's a meal. I mean they've done so well Would it one of them is a billionaire off of Lips I've been exposed to lip plumper. I I took a drink after my daughter the other week and I was like

35:03Why are my lips tingling like this like oh, I don't understand this. Wait, you ease. Wow Cuz you see and my lips was plumpin. Oh I didn't drink after my daughter. Oh, sorry dad Yeah, I did I use that lip the lip plumper like what Is what your lips are filling like all day. Did you like the tingles sensation? No, I did not I did not well um The Venezuelan baseball team got some lip plumper last night because uh They got it done. Yeah, they did they got it done Congratulations to Venezuela who beats the US and the world baseball classic. So it was the hell of a ride Oh, hell of a run, but the Venezuelans are the king of baseball Hey, you speak. We all I mean we did take Maduro. So I guess they'll take the world baseball classic, but uh It is there any blame to go on So job well done by Brady from way to keep way to keep perspective

36:05I waited That they're a bigger fish to fry in this world Bryce Harper though coming up with Possibly one of the cooler moments dude like the two-run shot was on the eighth you know, I was like tying it up like feeling like we had a little bit of hope and I know he I want to say struggled, but he didn't hit that well throughout the world baseball classic, but better late than never and uh, and then there's a story of Aaron judge like at some point Everyone keeps waiting for him to step up and just it doesn't seem to happen so Well Congrats to Venezuela. I'll just say in general though. I feel like uh, yeah We left some opportunities out there if you think if Aaron judge was Playing for anybody other than the Yankees There would be a conversation about him not being able to get it done in the clutch I do think that would be happening because I feel like it's the Yankee overreaction

37:06But he has been clutch for the Yankees Oh, he's by the way He's the best hitter in baseball and it's really not close people can say Otani all they want If you just actually look and do a deep dive in the metrics Aaron judge is unbelievable It's really not even close, but I feel like he's a good looking dude on top of that and I think you have veneers too I don't care. He swings that bat and he looks like mega man doing it First couple years and first couple years in the out of there look like that guy's tongue was in jail now He's got those veneers. He's ready to rock said it was in jail. Yeah, like just bored just just just just tongue rested in between the heart He's trying to say that you're the same Jonas because you know what happen he's just just just tongue would just like I'd like 266 more days 36 more hours I think I think part of this is Part of this is you can't escape the Yankee criticism That's best you just can't and there's a lot of perks to come along with it Derek Jeter had great moments and huge moments

38:12But if you look at just some of the numbers between Jeter and Aaron judge in the regular season and Jeter never touched him But because easy Yankee what comes along with that is well, he wants his own chips too. Yeah, I mean, but I don't know We're the Yankees really going to beat that Dodger team when they got to the world series Well, I mean if he was a part of that win Then he's probably talked about in the same Way that they talk about Jeter or a rot and they didn't want to like he they there was a time they didn't want to like a rot Right like they they was turn getting cold on that. I mean there was moments there was kind of like moments with Jeter too like moments I don't think anybody gets through being in the New York market and be a big name person and Go through what judge goes through from from the scrutiny perspective are the Eagles the equivalent to the Yankees and In the NFL from the standpoint of

39:14Even if you do well, you're on borrowed time like at some point they're gonna they're they're going to criticize you And and not gonna be happy. It's what have you done from me lately? It feels like fillies in that same so I mean NFL wise It's not a bad comparison It's not a bad comparison, but I would say it's the New York teams, but the giants and Chats have been bad for so long Yeah, but if you live there if you've ever played for one of those organizations you realize that The the media there is just different the coverage on those teams is different then I mean, I've I didn't play for Philly But I did play in New York and it's I mean, I played in the nation's capital and they handled sports like politics You had to handle things like a politician as an athlete and DC, but in New York It's unforgiving bra. I would say New York teams. They they have the same amount of scrutiny as as the baseball teams But the baseball teams seem to be more

40:17you know reverenced like Maybe a little bit. I don't know cue you played there. I you know, I But I do think that it is it is very intense media scrutiny in New York big time Yeah, there's just there's there's more of them. They're you know, they've got to Separate themselves and I just think that their job in general's tougher Which they're in lies makes the players jobs tougher Because you're you're constantly dealing with them battling to You know for those media members to make their mark to differentiate themselves to justify their existence Because there's a lot of them and that then falls onto the players Because they're constantly trying to find some sort of drama something to write about some Think that you know, maybe it's true. Maybe it's not. There's just there's all that speculation too That gets even worse when you're in a big market and and probably a big market that I don't want to say it's transient because I do know some of the media members are they're gonna be there for a while

41:18but You know, you go to some of the Midwest markets for example that I played in and we've talked about this before Often times the people who are covering the team. I'm not saying they're fans But they'd like to see them win You know that they have no problem With with their success It feels like at times when you see some of the the big city teams win They're waiting for that collapse. They're waiting for that moment to write something negative And there's not that same feel everywhere. So I think that's a little bit of the difference too But in this case, you know again Judges phenomenal. I feel like it it is unfair They kind of throw on his shoulders that like every time The USA needs them or the Yankees need them like he's got to be the one to come up with something and like that's That's what you're tasked with when you're paid really well to do what he does But it's also baseball, you know, we tend to forget sometimes These guys are all famous when they're hitting over 300 You know, so you're failing obviously more often than not and it feels like in those big moments

42:19We're always waiting for someone to to save the day when it's more likely that's not going to happen You got to keep in mind they have plants too, you know But they'll put landmines in in the media as well like dead you And if you ain't careful blow your leg off you know, or you know, I was gonna say I was gonna say you know It reminds me of when Jonas has a bet He's you know got a bet like late in the game and he's hoping praying. It's gonna like work out or something's gonna happen to help him out Never happens I really don't appreciate your negativity today. I thought you'd be coming all fired up for if far It wasn't aware of the landmines. I just Know he wasn't aware. Oh, you think that all those plants. Oh, come on Oh, you well, you just heard what you said and and it's like you want to hit like These guys got to talk to the media to implants is what Well, that was a part of it That was a part of it for certain and that was during I do believe that was during the time I was in New York and that same landmine came into the New York Giants. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it was part of that too

43:23Oh, yeah, and there was more than just that her There was like about three of them four of them that that You find yourself liking they looking at you, but but they're there to get the scoop They're there to get you to talk so whoever deployed them was smart as hell Son aware this is the smartest how you get all these local like fan guys and and friends and like want to drive you home If you need a ride home and interview you and talk to you know jay glazer was a new your guy But tell you what you put them three or four in there that coming there and they're like so how are you feeling today?

So we got a little bit of an update here On the Aiden Holloway Situation at Alabama. Remember we were talking about him. He got yeah pop for some green wolf little boat some hippie lettuce Nado's the head coach for Alabama said yeah look, you know We're just going to plan to play without him this weekend. They've got Hofstra coming up in the first round of the NCAA tournament

50:54And so there's been some question in star. So what exactly was going on there According to a report And documents obtained by ESPN on Tuesday Authorities found 2.1 pounds of marijuana. That's a lot in Aiden Holloway's apartment when he was arrested on a felony drug Possession charge Monday morning according to those documents the amount discovered in the arrest is significant because any amount of marijuana above 2.2 pounds or a kilogram and the state of Alabama can result in a drug trafficking charge so Yeah kind of coincidental that the amount was just under just on the limit that would be Consider what you're saying is as it was over But they reported it is just under Just to make sure you're ready for it for more and you better ball out too. By the way. Oh, yeah I mean, there's second leading score. There's a good player They they could probably use him But it's just it's coincidental that you know 2.2 is really the mark and he just happened to be at 2.1

52:00Yeah, I don't know man That sounds like a pretty pretty clear. Now if you I don't know enough about the amounts Also what you're saying Jonas because again, I've seen some gigantic things that have been passed along with some group chats that I'm on Oh, yeah, and that could be a pound of stuff in there. I have no idea good point. You know, I've I've no idea They call that the Jamaican whistleball bat. So they call that is that that's what it looked like I mean it looked like that so I would not have any experience knowing like what if does that is that a pound is it two pounds of no idea I can look and tell If it's a lot. Okay, can you I choose for people listening Because I'm with Brady my virgin lungs have never seen marijuana or a cigarette or Or even knows that you go virgin lungs like But go ahead, go ahead, let me ask you for people listening Can you paint the picture if they're staring at say an ottoman or just a table a desk in front of them. Yeah How big is 2.1 pounds of marijuana? It's not a lot

53:02The shoe box if it's no not even a shoe box No, you well Because they're bricks they probably they probably were like tightly sealed So like they look like little bricks They're not as big as you think two pounds is not as big as you think I've seen way more than two pounds I have you off Come on I know I'm just trying to get an idea what that looks like I remember I went to Jamaica and and Linux Lewis My dog the OG like Had it laid out when we got there and Who is at this open bar? shoot and pull up And I mean That look like that was about 10 pounds. Oh, so that's why Linux Lewis has never been to the state of Alabama Yeah, he lives in the mountains man. He got his own little his own crops

54:04Yes, you just got to you got to be aware So you got to be aware man, but he was aware and he was at 2.1 not 2.2 so You know he won He got over it's Jonas Knox the show prep game is changed with Claude no surface level takes it digs in challenges You're thinking pulls research you wouldn't find on your own and now Claude has a new live sports functionality that shows real-time score standings and players stats across all major leagues stats and analysis in the same place Try Claude for free at claw.ai slash 2 pros for problems worth solving Claude you're thinking partner Coffee genius here most people see a busy cafe, but I see precision at every step thanks to genius from global payments transactions instant inventory precise operations in sync Absolutely genius from sold-out crowds worldwide to managing the morning rush genius keeps operations running smoothly
