Should we honor some of our trusty fans that hit us with game submissions and slide into our dms sure but let's uh let's plug social first followers of course names with names on youtube instagram twitter tiktok at games with names subscribe on apple podcast spotify wherever you listen to podcasts also comment on a game let us know what you want to hear we're going to go

and then also we've got jack's favorite moments from the show so far. So, uh, we'll be on for that. So yeah, let's, let's break into that mailbag Jack. Hell yeah. Let's get into it. All right. I'm logging into the old games with names, IG first. I'm seeing one that pops out at me from Sarah L.

She slid into our DMS back in September requesting the chiefs Rams Monday night game. Remember that one? 54-51 Rams over the Chiefs. Jared Goff versus Mahomes. That was a shootout and a half. That might have been the most offensive game in the history of the NFL. Remember it was supposed to be in Mexico City?

Yes. They were going to play put a studio Azteca and then rain or the field wasn't in good condition so they moved it to the Coliseum. There's another one here from Lacey M. She said, put Little Appalachian State on the map

and do an episode of the game they beat Michigan. Upset in the big house? We got you. I got one here from Cecile. Hello from France. I think I'm pronouncing that right. Hello got you. I got one here from Cecile. Hello from France. I think I'm pronouncing that right. Hello from France. I love your podcast. Can you please add more female content in sports that are played outside of

the U S yes, we're working on that. 100%. You Latin clear Cecile. Here's what she's got too. She's got 2004 U S open quarterfinals quarterfinals, Jennifer Capriotti and serena williams usain bolt record for 100 meters also got oh man she's got so many use uh steffi graf beats

martina navratilova and we love that as 1998 uh i'm gonna i'm gonna screw her name up but manon rumine she was the first woman to play goalie in a professional hockey 1992 for the tampa bay lightning i think there was a preseason game that's incredible yeah yeah she was on an episode of chiclets recently or maybe a year or two ago that was pretty great she'd be a great great insane nancy gergen wins silver at the Tonya Harding 1994. I mean, heck if the movie wins an Oscar, it's definitely worthy of a games with names episode. That's right. Venus, uh, Venus beats Serena and Wimbledon 1998.

Well, or 2008, excuse me. We would love to do that. We got that bad boy in our crosshairs. What else we got here? Jackie? I'm looking through here. I'm looking at old Neil M. He says, I know you've said suggest games.

So how about Red Wings Avalanche, March 26th, 1998 brawl. The Wings and Ads had so many fights in a big rivalry in the 90s. And this was the turning point for the Wings. You remember that one? Honestly, that was a great rivalry. That was such a fun back and forth. And you would never expect like Colorado and like Detroit to kind of have a thing going on. And it's very real.

The Avs were relatively new. They just came back from, they just moved from Quebec. And those teams were loaded. Like Joe Sackick and Peter Forsberg and Milan Hayduke and Patrick Waugh. I think Paul Correa came in there a little bit. I'm not sure if he was here for this game. But, oh, and Darren McCarty. Oh, that guy was such a scumbag. loved it that was such a brutal rival i'd love to do a red wings abs game

you could pick so many even just these still photos that neil included in the dm having a tantalized brother i think one of those is my dog mccarty he's just pounding him what a what a beaut as they'd say all right well these were fun there's so many more of these and there's so many games that we keep them coming it's funny as i go through these how our dms are pretty wholesome it's just a talk about 90s sports and good stuff oh you know i got one more here oh yeah let it rip i got one more good one here. Ariana H. from Chicago dropped a bunch of Chicago stuff. She was like, Bartman would be a great game. Oh, man.

The old Bartman game. Maybe get Moses Alou. She also mentioned Carrie Wood's 20 strikeout game. Yeah, Carrie Wood. But you know what? Baseball's so boring. I know. If we can get Bartman

out of witness protection or do the muffled voice thing or something, that'd be worth it. Jack, that's your drop everything? That'd be like a doc. I mean, just finding Bartman, how about that?

Ain't no finding force here. I was going to say, that was a doc, wasn't it? It was. I think they did a 30 for 30 on it. All right, well, no one's here for us, Jack. What?

We could do this banter all day. Yeah. Well, we actually do. That's where the show came from. You want to get into the top five? Yeah. So these are Jack's top five favorite clips from the show so far. Yeah.

Finding just five was a nearly impossible task, but somehow I whittled it down. Number one in my book, none of these are in that much of an order, but this one I think is number one. We're going to go back to the Ricky's Record episode, 1998, Texas versus Texas A&M. We had Ricky Williams on as a guest. I read you started, like there's always, it's pretty public that you smoke weed. Yeah. I think it's well documented.

You didn't start until what, your senior year of college? Senior year of college, yeah. Now what made you? Because I'm going to open up a little bit and I'll tell you what happened. I started smoking weed in like the sixth year of my career, and it was because some shit was going on, but I want to hear if there was something that propelled you. Hell yeah, there was shit going on.

So back to like where we started when I came back from my senior year. I had all these goals, win the Heisman, break all these records. So I come back, and first game, first two games, I kill it. We, then we go to Kansas state and I get shut down like 12, 12 carries for like 40 yards. Also find out that my girlfriend is now with the quarterback. Okay. So which quarterback is this? Major Applewhite. He was our, he was our starting point. I'm glad you messed up his name at that speech. Oh yeah. Screw that guy. I'm glad you messed up his name at that speech. Oh, yeah. Screw that guy. I'll tell you a story after you tell me that.

Don't actually screw that guy. Yeah, don't. But that's a long time ago. But it's just one of those things where I was like. How do you do that to your teammate? She was pretty bad. Anyways. So I get it.

Time kills all wounds. I don't blame him. So I was just going through this and i was thinking like why did i come back for this shit you know i was in that place where i was thinking i could be making millions of dollars not worried about this bullshit now i'm back here have to deal with the quarterback giving me the ball that's sleeping with my girl and now i'm not gonna break all these it just was bad and my roommate was a smoker and he's like you need to chill and so he brought out his bong and he's like here.

And so it sounds like an anti-drug commercial. I mean, I had smoked before, but it was just hanging out with the guys. I wasn't a smoker, but that was the first night where I smoked. And I remember I went upstairs in my room and I wasn't obsessing about the girl or the quarterback or the bad game. I just was good. And I started actually thinking positively about the future. And I'm not lying to you. You can look in the bad game. I just was good, and I started actually thinking positively about the future.

And I'm not lying to you. You can look in the stat book. After that game, back-to-back 300-yard rushing games. I should start smoking more weed. I feel like it would really up my game. It will. It will. I don't react to it like you, Ricky.

I drink, and it quiets the voices. I smoke weed. It's like i had a party in my head and only the worst people showed up it's not good for me you know every voice that's the process though you got to get those voices out because they don't just disappear if they're in there you got to get them out and sometimes we bury them and you smoke you get become aware of them so you could do something about them because to me you know especially as a football player i was trying to push all that shit down when i finally like looked at it and let it move then it was gone

and i could focus on what was really important different perspective yeah and it was the same same with me i've never told this story and i've actually never told anyone really i i toke you know but you know i was going through some shit got arrested. It was like my second year in the league or fourth year in the league or something like that. And like a lot of shit was just going on. And exactly what you said, it gave me the ability to slow down and just kind of look at things differently and put the pieces together. And also, like, relax my mind because my mind's always going. Like I'm always thinking I'm going to get cut. What's going to happen here?

My family hates me. This, that. And once I started smoking, my buddy did the same thing. He's like, yo, bro, you need to relax. Because I didn't smoke. I didn't smoke until I was like 27, 26, 27. You know what I mean? I mean, I dabbled,

but like, I wasn't like a smoker, you know? And so then I did that and it was exactly the same thing that you felt. It gave me a chance to just like reflect, you know, it's like the saying that Mr. Craft told me, Enra Balitov, it's Hebrew for with all the bad, find the good in the bad. And it's kind of, you feel that, you know what I mean? You see that kind of perspective if you do it right and you get in a safe environment or whatever. Sam, it may not be that for you, but I felt that exact same thing. And on Applewood or Applewhite?

Applewhite. I can tell you a quick story. He invited me to talk to his team. We used to coach Houston. And we were in there. We were playing the Super Bowl, and we were practicing. He was in their facility. And he's like, yo, Edelman, would you come?

Let's go speak to the team. And he gives me this huge introduction. Yeah, this guy, that guy. And I go, oh, thanks, Applewood. I appreciate it. I fully botched his name. The whole fucking team starts laughing, busting out. It's supposed to be like an inspirational speech.

So I'm clearly not Matthew McConaughey when it comes to speech giving. No, that's karma coming full circle. That's what he gets for banging Reggie's girl. He gets a botched name and embarrassed in front of his team. That's what I say. No. But Reggie, I mean, I think... Why did I call you Reggie?

Holy shit. Because you're botching my name too. Hey, it's all good. Oh my God. It's karma. That's how karma works. Ricky, who have you slept with who was a close friend in the past?

No. Got me. Ricky, I mean, I think you got really unfairly vilified by the media. You were ahead of your time in a lot of ways, you know, when they really kind of played it out like you were a burnout. And I don't think that was fair to do to you. Well, I don't, I don't look at it that way. I mean, they're just doing their job.

They couldn't understand what was going on with me. You know, they're, they're're the media like they're covering us you know i just see myself as like a real warrior you know i wasn't just like fighting on the football field like i'm fighting in life for real just trying to do you think you were ahead of your time in that way i don't think there were people that were as open as you were about this stuff at the time the nature of being ahead of your time is you're always going to be misunderstood. I mean, that's what it means. That's a saying right there.

I'm a big saying guy. Jack, I want you to cut that up. That could be like a neon sign. Man. Fuck. That's good stuff. Man, Ricky Williams is probably the coolest guy i was expecting cool and then i my expectations were exceeded somehow he's just that cool yeah like what a guy he's as advertised so cool so ahead of his time i mean everything's been said

about ricky but just like growing up when we did like watching him do what he did. This incredible. It was so great to have him on the show. We'll have to have him come back on it and find, maybe we can, I've always, I want him to do that 200 yard game. He had to get the cat's eye with Miami, even though they lost that game,

but that was visor on breaking off big runs left and right. Oh my God. In the snow. Yeah. Shut up. The dolphins can compete in the snow. All right, let's go to another one here We've got the from episode 3 The Manning 7 2013

NFL season opener Broncos vs. Ravens Peyton Manning Throwing a little sauce On his good buddy Tom Brady Which is relevant now As it's ever been Come on Peyton help get Tom on the show. Yeah.

Anybody, somebody, somebody, somebody. Yes. But speaking of Tom, last question, I've gotten you on my podcast.

I've gotten Eli on my podcast. Can you, can you put a word into Tom to get him to come on my own goddamn podcast? Cause I know you guys, I mean, I'll, I'll try, you know. I mean, you know, that's a big ask.

I mean, it's a big ask. I feel like, you know, it needs to be more than just kind of a simple text. I mean, you got to, you know, maybe send him something, you know. What do you send a man that has everything? What the fuck else can you give him? He's got a model he's got seven super bowls two different teams what do i do payton i don't know how to do this tell me about it i write him i he you know he retires the first time i asked for his address i'm like i'm not gonna just text you congrats on this incredible career i write him this you know eloquent i it's probably self-serving but

handwritten letter cursive writing on my stationary mail it bottle of wine right mail it congratulations what kind of how expensive a wine are we talking what do you get tom brady as a wine i mean a 1999 bottle right he's rubbing a uh uh yeah 1999 bottle and he's here now. 2000. He was 199th pick. What year was he drafted? 2000. 2000. 199th pick, right?

2000 bottle. Anyway, the point is when you come back and play, I should get the letter back and the wine back. Nope. Nope. Tom, Tom's just keeping it right. I mean, supposedly he reads the letter often just to see the nice things that I said about. I'm like, hey, if he expects another letter whenever he retires in 2032, he's mistaken.

Aiden, send in the bottle of wine with the handwritten note. Oh, my God. Is red wine, is that nightshades? Is red wine a nightshade? I don't know. If so, that baby is going to be sitting in the cellar for quite a while. All right. Thanks, Peyton.

That was a heck of an episode. Next moment that sticks out in my mind was episode 13, the Iron Man match. Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels. You know, it's pretty crazy ironic. I have a pretty good story all right about the attitude era and in this time i was like probably later in this year i was in i was at my school in elementary school and we had to sit down for lunch you sit down and then you have a first bell and then you guys can

go out and play so you had to eat and there And there was old man Mr. Callis walking by. He gave me some lip because I was like, I mean, I was a little asshole probably. A little kid running around trying to make trades for fucking Lunchables. And he sat me down, yelled at me. He said, you can't be up yet. And as soon as he walked away, full suck it sign, giving him suck it. Yeah, fuck you, Mr. Callous, little fucking 10-year-old me. Doesn't see, right?

Doesn't see, but a lady walking by. Literally, we had a fence. This is terrible podcasting, but I had a fence, if you can see. And a chain link, and a lady walked by and saw me because all my boys were laughing and we were all just doing it and she singled me out call mr callous over tells mr callous and he goes you flip me off i don't know brings me office get full suspended i gave him the sucking sign it wasn't even flip off who's sucking. I love you begging the principal. I didn't say fuck you. I told him to suck my penis.

100%. What the hell? And you know. They're responsible for a lot of kids doing that. Oh my. I got suspended. That was literally like your mom's grounding you and you're like, mom, if you're not down with this, I got two words for you.

Suck it. You know? She's like, now you're grounded an extra week. I'm like, all right. My mom had my back though my mom goes you didn't even see it yeah you didn't see it he didn't do it did you do the did you do the this one or did you do the cross i did a full jump spread full jump spread regular both i like you know when're a kid, you would be going like a bunch.

Yes. And he, you know, I got caught re-ended. I had to sit at home, but that was my story. That's great. That was me in 96. When I was, so young Julian doing the Suggit, I did a similar thing. When I was in school, this was the pop, the rise of Mick Foley, Mankind, and Mr. Socko. And you probably know where this is going. I came in a science class with a sock in my hand.

And this kid, I got him from behind. I Socko him in the middle of class. And the teacher was like, get out, get out. But everyone's cheering that I'm Socko-ing a dude. And he was like, oh, oh, stinky sock. Yeah, he freaked out. Mr. Socko? I got thrown out of class, but I did Socko a kid.

Did you get in trouble? Oh, yeah. I got thrown out and sent to the principal did Socko a kid. Did you get in trouble? Oh, yeah. I got thrown out and sent to the principal, but it was awesome. I Socko'd a dude. Yeah. The crowd must have been going crazy. They went wild. They were like, yeah.

Oh, my God. Anytime any rebellion went down, the whole collective group of the class would just go like, yeah, one for the kids. I was new in school too. So it was like, it was a risk. I was like, if this goes South,

I'm a pariah, but it worked out. And everyone's like, he's one of us new to the school. You were the new kid on campus. And the soccowing people. I soccowed a kid. Yeah.

I went for it. What? What? What? You were 10. I was probably like 12. That's, that's ballsy.

I changed schools too. When you're like the new kid in a new school, it's like you have to do something. I raced the fastest kid in the school, and that's how I got my standard. Damn, that's so like an 80s movie. I went and I looked at Leo Ortiz. I said, they used to do this base race thing,

and he was a year older than me but I was held back so we were the same age and we did the base race and we go around second and we collided with each other we hit each other first day of school there hit each other like low key kind of knocked out get up and finish the race won

Leo I know you remember that but that was what I had to do you you go over and saco someone see that's a comic versus an athlete that's true i feel like anyone who grew up in the 90s has gotten in trouble from some variation of suck it we could have an entire show of just fan submissions of their stories of getting suspended you what? Let's do that next very unspecial episode of games with names. Send in your, your best suspended stories or detention. We'll have, we'll try to get on as many school administrators as we can.

Absolutely. All right. Up next, we got the episode seven, 28 to three, 2017 Superbowl 51 Patriots versus Falcons with Danny Amendola, a game which is also as relevant now as ever been with that poor guy Matt Ryan. We won't have to go too far into that. Poor guy. Yeah, we've got Jules and Dola, as you might know, are very good friends.

Some would even say best friends. And so when best friends get together, sometimes they bicker. So they have a little bit of a controversy and who came up with what take a listen so yeah you're down by this much it's 21 to 3 yeah at halftime yeah there was really not a whole lot what do you could say i mean there was there's two things that what is one thing that you that i remember what is one thing you would always say? What is one thing that you always say that I made up all the time? I mean... Gotta believe. I couldn't hear you. What?

I made that up, by the way. Made what up? I made that up. What did you make up? Gotta believe. Who's gotta believe, though? Who's gotta believe? We gotta believe.

So, is that what you said in the locker room? You're just like, oh, you gotta believe. This is what we gotta do. Believe. What were you specifically doing in the locker room at halftime? After getting IVs. There's two things I remember being in the locker room after I got my IV one coach said it's gonna take a lot more than what 24 points to beat us tonight and then the other thing I remember is Julian walking around I'm pretty sure he had his shirt off for reasons I'm not sure. I don't know why his pants are off at this time, but he was hot.

He was saying, oh, this is going to be a hell of a story, boys. This is going to be a hell of a story. Wow. That's awesome. And what would I say after that? It's going to be a hell of a story. It turned out to be a hell of a story. But then I would also say my infamous saying that I made up.

We got to believe. Yeah. We got to believe. We'll count it. We'll count it. Count it. There's no chance you made that up. Fully made that up.

So, yeah, I mean, I love that you're being raw around the locker room, that you're being around the locker room that you're being positive that's such good energy you know but once it hits 28 to 3 is any part of you like maybe this isn't our game is any part of you thinking that or no don't lie don't lie danny don't lie danny danny was on the sidelines saying what the fuck guys this is gonna be the worst off season ever we're not even gonna get to do anything jesus christ i'm probably not gonna be here next year what were what was really going through your mind danny give me the real shit i want to hear this statistically one guy on your team had to be like you blew it you blew my that was probably chris long honestly i gotta credit jules think, with this one.

I don't know. That's a toss-up. It's kind of like Bobby Valentine saying he invented the wrap sandwich or John Taffer saying he invented NFL Sunday ticket. It's just one of those claims you'll never quite know the origin of. So you got to pick a side. Danny, 100%. And by the way, check out Danny Amendola on, what's that show called, Jack?

Oh, it's a new show on Fox. What show is that? What's he on, Family Guy now? Yeah, he's on Family Guy. It's called Special Forces, World's Toughest Test. Check out Danny Amendola on Fox. I think it premieres first week of January, so far from now. Whoa, Dola getting the IMDb page going, huh?

IMDb Dola. far from now whoa dola getting the imdb page going huh imdb dola yeah episode 1 18 and 1 2008 super bowl 42 patriots versus giants a heartbreaker maybe not the best episode to start with our very heavy boston fan base but you know what you live by the game with names you die by the games with names now do you guys go have like a barbecue at the Manning household and like you and Peyton and Coop just chimes in and Archie's probably on the grill making the burgers? Like, you guys just sitting talking old war stories about how much you guys hate Brady? No, no. No? It doesn't come out.

He's too good looking. We respect Tom. Yeah, it's like. No, but Brady's having a cook's like what's the hate about him? I bet you Brady's having that cookout. Yeah, good looking guy with just those spirals and winning games. How do you hate that guy? Yeah, but at his cookout, he's bringing you up.

He's bringing you up, Eli. He hates my mom. If it weren't for Olivia Manning, Tom would have like 12 Super Bowls probably. Can we get that t-shirt made up? Tom Brady hates Eli's mom. Yeah, we're going to sell those now. That's a big shirt. Quoted by Eli Manning.

Or Tom Brady hates Mrs. Manning. Yeah, exactly. There we go. Man, it is crazy to think, Jack, how many Super Bowls Tom Brady would have if the Mannings just didn't exist. I can't even wrap my head around it. Double digits. So, 2006, the Patriots win that Super Bowl. If they get by the Colts and don't choke that game, that's another Super Bowl.

You got both giants. Yeah, I mean, he'd be like the dang Bill Russell of the NFL with, you know, holding all his rings in his hands, in his cupped hands rather than on his fingers. That's right. And we could just toss that Bucks ring to the side. Yeah, who cares? Doesn't count. Tampa grows. All right, we got a few more clips.

It was a pipe dream to keep it at five. Up next, we've got from episode five, Miracle in Morgantown, Virginia Tech versus West Virginia with Mike Vick. So let's hear from it. Did you ever play with yourself in Madden? No, I couldn't. It was hard for me. It was hard for me to try to do what I was doing on the field, the action field, on Madden. Who were your people then?

I feel like I should have been the master of that. I feel like I should have been the master of that. But now I'm a lot better when I play with Lamar because I understand how to use Lamar, right? But yeah, I couldn't do it with me back in the day, man. So I used to get like Peyton and I used to get Tom and Drew.

I'm one of that big passers. Remember the passers vision back in the day? 0-4-5. Yeah, wide, super wide. My eyes were up. We stayed. But I had the moves. So take your pity. I think we might have called Mike Vick an icon about 15 times this episode.

But one of my favorite interviews. We got another clip coming up from episode four. The wheelchair game with Paul Pierce, the Celtics versus Lakers 2008 NBA final. Do you think the pooping the pants rumor helps or hurts the mythos of the, of the series? I mean, they trying to put a black mark on it.

Everybody knows that it happened. Come on. So I looked at every TV angle that you possibly could. You guys were wearing the white unis. Okay. And as a professional athlete, I know we have to ingest so many electrolytes that when you shit, there's going to be some squirting. So you would have saw a squirt mark.

He did not shit his fucking pants, guys. Paul didn't shit his pants. He hurt his knee, and then he miraculously came out and fucking scored and won the game for him. We're going to watch the JFK tapes to make sure this didn't happen, but no. I would have rolled around and hit it on the ground if I did.

Who does that? Wouldn't that be kind of disgusting? It would. I'm glad that we're clearing this up, okay? This is coming from him, guys. He would not lie to me. No, the only shit that I did was on the Lakers. So you guys are literally partners in crime, which you glossed over, but you did both get arrested together, right?

Nah, well, technically it was a citizen citation arrest. I mean, you can't even hood slide anymore. Starsky and Hood should slide. I mean, Paul was right there. This is how how it all went paul do you remember it duh i'm gonna tell you this that was the weakest hood slide ever you didn't even make it all i was like you like slid and then stopped in the middle i was like oh no it was my jeans there was no slide there was too much friction i couldn't just like in the movies they clearly wax those cars yeah they're wearing like some kind of nylon pant me wearing straight jeans go over there and i kind of stuck homeboy gets out of car waves down a cop they

start hemming me up paul's over there paul had my back though paul had my back he's like nah man get off he didn't do shit he didn't do shit nah look it was look first of all you it was like all right we were stuck in a restaurant during remember it was a stick up or something it was a robbery yeah and it was like we were stuck in a restaurant couldn't leave and there were already like 25 cops like right there anyway were the cops pumped to meet both of you it was like uh i looked i thought it was nothing though i was just like oh but if you had i think if you had to if you had to land at the slide it wouldn't have been nothing but since you scared

and stopped it was a thing it that's probably exactly what it was but what he's failing to tell you is we were on our way to leave and we couldn't leave the place for two and a half hours so what did we do we just drank tequila all night long we get we get done right we we think we get out of it scot-free. We go back to the house. We're over here like it's not on TMZ. It's not out. We're having the best night of our life. We go out and we're playing one-on-one basketball at Soho House. People are over here like, what's going on? We're having the times of our life. I wake up in the morning to 300 text messages from my agent this that it was a welcome to the club uh you know i had my one internet uh moment welcome to the club every time jules tells that story he adds another detail so we got to make sure to keep him doing it

because i think a whole lot more happened that night. All right. So for our last clip, we've got from Episode 2, the Statue of Liberty game, Boise State versus Oklahoma. We had both Jared Zebranski and Adrian Peterson on that for that episode. So let's go to it. And we had a proposal right after on tv that's that's what i hate the most about yeah other running back just getting getting engaged up on on field like what is this a this disney movie man i tell you what ap hey stab would think

about this we we got like 20 seniors who are like wait what did you just do like you made this about a proposal dude like what come on man let's go together apparently though so apparently they have a child i think they've got two or yeah they got a couple and he is a good enough dude uh just ill-timed i'm not big at it but re did it after not ray but uh korea did it after world series like save it save another dude do it you got a bunch of dudes on your team that work their stinking tail off to have this event not your proposal bruh it's like i've seen worse i i've seen i mean look i'm a stand-up comic i've seen people propose at my shows in a strip mall and i'm like you could do better come on let's do a little better so that i've seen worse but yeah it's a it's a team moment

why are you doing that i'm with you yeah yeah so when i was in minnesota we end up um bringing in and johnson brought him in oh that's right yeah i got in his ass i'm like bro like you really go propose to your girl he's's just, man, I just had to take the moment to do that. And it was just, it irked me because it's like the look on his face. He was just like, he was just so happy and just like, that's love through the womb. It's like, oh man, I hope you, I hope you, uh, haze the shit out of him. Yeah, yeah, I got a little payback.
