You're listening to Giraffe King's Network.
This is the Dunluba Tarshou with the StugatSpotcast.
We will get to our top five list of coolest people in heaven.
Yeah.
All of us everyone
We will get to that in just a second, but
Jarbar is back. He was at at Marlins Park. There was a celebrity softball game at 9 a.m. This morning I wasn't invited to it. Oh, Dan wanted Marlins analysis. Yeah, thank God you're back. Yeah
Thank God. Hey everybody. How'd it go? It went great. Yeah, we lost
Who do we how are the teams separated the teams seem to be separated by race? Hey everybody. How'd it go? It went great. Yeah. We lost.
Who do we, how are the teams separated?
The teams seem to be separated by race.
That explain why you guys lost.
Uh huh.
Dan's so bummed he's not here to talk about that.
Yeah.
He's not, I teed him up for it.
It also doesn't help having to play again.
He picked off a second.
That definitely did not help.
No, we had, we had a lot of communication issues on our team.
It seemed like the other team had been preparing
since the world baseball classic for this moment
while we showed up for spring training.
They seem like an organized softball club, right?
More than organized, yeah.
They were ready, it looked like they've been practicing
for weeks together.
They were making plays up the middle,
turning two, it did not make any sense.
Who's on the other team?
Guys named Leandro and your Dono and Francisco.
Hey, are people?
Let me tell you something, if I'm coming out there
and I'm looking at the roster, I'm not feeling good.
I felt great, I felt great initially,
and then I saw the guys on art,
we had multiple guys named Craig.
Who's that's bad?
Not normally a good start.
So you had mission, Minervini?
Yeah, we have both of that. Look at that.
That a boy.
But yeah, we don't make crags anymore.
Oh, no, crags, missions out here.
I've never met a baby crag.
We just, we're not making crags.
Oh, yeah.
Not, yeah.
I know a lot of crags.
My age, actually.
But I've never met a baby named crag. Okay, put it on the pole and we lot of crags. It are my age actually, but I've never met a baby named Craig.
Okay, put it on the pole and we still making crags.
I think you're right.
Now that I think about it, yeah.
Right, have you, Stu?
I've never met a baby named Craig.
No. There you go.
Welcome to the club.
Ha ha ha.
The neutral picker of teams is a very important job
whenever you're putting together like a pick up event
like this where people, they're sort of like a different level.
There should have been a scouting process.
There should have been, should have been something where it should have been used.
And warm up.
So it's got to be someone's got, that guy is clearly going to hit some home runs.
That's what him on one team.
You got to separate sort of a different strata, right?
There's the good players, there's the average players, there's the bad players.
Let's have the right mix of the three of them on each team.
I'm pretty much out of this to God's for saying it should have been you, Woody.
It's a job he wants. I do it at Wednesday, Sockert. I'm really good at it.
I like the idea of Woody just outsourcing. He doesn't do anything else for the leagues or for
these pick-up games. He just comes to separate the town. I'd be great at it.
You watch him play for a little bit like, okay, this is what I'm calling.
Eight minutes of warm-ups and I can pick you a good even good even team celebrity all-star game at the NBA all-star weekend it doesn't matter pro ball
you know when they do the like the flag football game doesn't matter what he's got you he's
got to take care of you but I would imagine it's easier to do that with basketball or soccer than
it is with baseball because I could be going yard
on everything in BP
but then put me out in a field
and I can't catch or I can't move, right?
That's what happened to me
as a softball player in high school.
I, they put me at third base
and I just, like, I bruises.
The hot corner, hot corner.
And then, and they were like,
well, she can hit.
So they put me in center field
and I like occasionally tracked down a ball. so you'd have to watch me do both to be able to tell yeah that I should be the designated hitter
I think for for something like a celebrity softball game. It's just about general athletic ability
I would say watch people out in the outfield watch people take some more months
But they're very unassuming. I think it means right like you could spot a good basketball player
Like sometimes softball players especially especially softball players, very
unassuming.
Like you would never think John Cruck was good at baseball.
That's exactly what happened.
Just by looking at him.
That's exactly what happened because you had all the TV.
Cruck was there.
Well, no, I wish John Cruck was there.
He would have helped all the TV people were on our team.
So all the people who are in good shape, but it's show muscles.
They're not actual athletes.
You know, man, so, yeah, will man. So my coon yo Josh Moser, they're all out there.
The beef, you know, but you would think we were the more athletic team.
And yet, that's not what happened. What team was later on?
Slater scoops is on our team. Oh, okay. And that ended as, as, uh, well,
it ended with Chris yelling at him. Whoa! Okay, that was the story.
It ended just about everybody else.
You had that.
It was just one later, the skater, Slater Scoop.
The Slater Scoop, I had to walk the scoop,
but Chris Cody just for a second, Jeremy,
he walked out there thinking he was the best softball player
on that field, correct?
He did walk out there thinking that he had a good day.
I don't think...
I picked up a second thing.
I don't think Chris had the day that he would have hoped for. He didn't hope to get picked off a second during a pop flat of short. He
did not. He didn't know how many outs there were. He claims it's because he was talking to
you guys, but he wasn't even talking to us. First of all, second of all, I will, I will
give him is pretty bad ass. We're like, hey, when you bat right now, he walks up first
pitch, swing, hit, get to a get to single like I thought that was
pretty cool.
If you were in better shape it should have been a double, but not going to hold him
like that.
Stay ready.
You don't got to get ready.
Exactly.
But the problem with our team was that despite the level of athleticism that we thought we
had, there were some real like seemingly baseball players on the other team that were moving from base to base, good base running, tagging up, going to the next base.
You know, you could see every single time somebody needed to scoop a ball out of the dirt, they were able to do it, where our team just kind of struggled to...
I get things going.
Is it an IQ thing or a skill thing, you think?
I think this was a baseball IQ thing.
I think the other team clearly has been practicing together for a couple of weeks, putting this thing together, knowing that, all right, ultimately,
we're going to have to go out there and show who's boss.
Because on the internet, everybody recognized all those TV names and started talking crap,
saying, all right, yeah, team blue is going to win.
And unfortunately, we did not back them up.
This is why there needs to be a winning him.
Either he needs to split up the teams or once he arrives, he says no.
This team is stacked and he starts shuffling people around,
right?
Like that's what you would do,
or at least that's what you've dreamt of doing, correct?
General Manage mid game,
because, and you know what's funny,
if you play a pick up game
where one team is dominating over the other,
usually the team that gets dominated
is too stubborn to change.
Yeah, no, we're like, no, no, we got it back.
We're not going to stop that. Nobody gets out of here. Right, we got this. No, we got it're like, no, no, we got it back. We're gonna back back back back.
Nobody gets wrong here.
Next time we back this.
No, we got it.
No, no, no, no, because there's like,
I played on those teams with you.
Yeah, it's patronizing to be changed out.
We're gonna be fine.
And then like, you offer yourself.
You offer yourself and then you see the trade and like,
oh, that's the player that my team wanted.
They don't want me back here
What they want this person what's worse the run it back or when you can't guard somebody's like yo, let me switch
That happened to me I got them that happened to me once when I was playing at the UM wellness center
That's you it was I was playing against a University of Miami women's basketball player, like actually on the team. And this girl was smoking me, like, like, jumper, look after another in my face.
And the guy like, elbow me, like, I don't think, no one has surprised.
I don't think the other people-
Except Whitty.
I don't think the other people on the floor knew that they were actually on the team.
Oh, they just thought-
I just looked because I covered the team, which is obviously my my lot in life relative to other athletes. But so I knew that they were on the team, but
I don't think my teammates knew. So this guy like elbows me out of the way. He's like, I got her and
then like proceeds to smoke that guy play. This girl smoked everyone on the floor because she plays
for the women's team for the University of Miami. Like you're an ACC women's basketball player.
You're going to smoke people in the gym. That's what you do. That happened to me with James Harden.
When James Harden was a freshman, ASU.
Hit him with it.
Hit him with it.
Somebody hit it, please.
I don't know where it is.
I don't know where it is.
We're working this thing.
Look at me.
I guess it doesn't exist anymore.
Thank you.
I did.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Yeah.
So I had no idea it was James Harden eating a beard back then and so it's him it was Christian
Polka I want to say who played the ASU a couple other ASU guys and so they come in and
like they're clearly big and and like in good shape I'm like I'll just play whatever and
as I'm guarding him he's coming off the screen. And I was like, that's a little
too polished. That's not something that's not a pickup basketball player come out of
a screen. Like he's shoulder to shoulder. He's stopping on the dime. He's coming up. And
so on the last play, I'll never forget this. I was garden poke and my boy was garden
hardened. And I said, for some right, for some right, he's left handed.
And so he went right and then step back, hit the shot,
and then he looked at me and he said,
I'm both handed.
And I said, my kid didn't get to the rim though,
he took a step back.
So he was doing it even back then.
Yeah, man, I look like,
there's something undescribable of like,
when you play against someone who's actually good,
and it's very obvious immediately like, okay,
you know, you put, you, you saw you subpoena
in your peer group and you see someone,
he's the best of us or whatever,
oh, he's really good, really good player.
And there's someone that you don't know shows up
and then they're even better.
Boy, that'll just blow you up, oh snap,
like that's what good looks like, huh?
That's never happened to Tony.
I didn't say Brad said it.
We cut off Jarebarr, he was giving us a Slater Scoop.
And I got a Slater Scoop.
You do, really?
And it's before the Slater Scoop.
I heard source, unknown source told me.
Amazing.
Billy went over, did not hit one hit whatsoever.
Wait, looking, swinging, there's no striking
strikeout. Looking at softball. I mean, strikeouts happen. Oh, I've seen it. But there's
no strikeout looking in that scenario. Billy, Billy did not strike out. Did he get hit?
I don't. I don't know the answer. Yeah, 100%. Contact for everybody. Did he get it?
Don't for I think you might have gone over. wow I mean he just had a kid he's exhausted
You see
I don't know for three weeks
Hey, we actually we actually have some video from today from the boat. No, we don't know. Yeah, let's play it
Yeah, let's play it
This is the moment
What is the controversy of the day?
Why was Slade I got a Slater Scoop. He f***ed us. That's what you're saying. That's what you're saying. That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying.
That's what you're saying. That's what you're saying. That's what you're saying. That's what you in somewhere. He's like, D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D his half-way right there. Why is he? Why is he gingerly?
Got a slide there. Who's the guy in the minions? The guy in a suit.
In the midi. Yeah, he runs like that at the end.
I love Ofer Billy and Chris Cody getting picked off at second comment.
He got everyone else's got your means.
Steve, a third. It should have been there. Billy sounded like a dead
Steve. It's so true. Just from the five second clip we just watched. This looks like the least athletic game of softball
I've ever watched.
And that's saying a lot, because it's softball.
Well, it's interesting.
You should ask who had the hit that allowed all of that
to happen.
No one's here.
No one's here.
No one's here.
Pretty athletic out there.
Chris Cody.
Not with me.
I was gonna go with Will Manso.
Will Manso!
Will Manso!
We know it's not Billy.
I mean, it's a bad look for him.
Hey Jeremy, do you have anything for us on the Marlins trades?
Yeah, four seconds.
Burger King.
Don Lebatard.
Hey Dave.
Stugats.
What up?
This is the Don Lebatard show with a Stugats.
So I don't know if you guys noticed Chris Wittingham is here.
He's in the words of Dan, he's ascended to heights greater than anything that we have here at the Elser Hotel.
He's a mega star.
He works for Apple, him and Tim Cook.
I've seen them piling around.
Him and my man, uh, uh, uh,
bend it like Beckham.
You guys are on a first name basis, right?
Me and Bax.
Yeah, see, Bax.
But you're here, you're back for a day.
And we're going to get to World Cup talk with you
on a little messy talk as well.
Inter Miami playing again tonight, right?
There's a, there's two O in the what's it called the
league's cup.
Leagues cup.
There you go.
Wait, was that a career highlight for you calling that goal?
Messy's first goal.
The game winner.
Yeah, I mean, that's that's the stuff.
Like that's a kind of moment you dream of like it's sort of the game perfectly pans
out for this one moment and for to have set up in that fashion.
A free kick from the kind of reins
these scored from so many times before,
and then it actually happens.
It was like a split second where I couldn't believe
that it was actually happening.
I've watched games at Wittingham, it's called.
You always sound very professional,
even when you're excited.
And it's like, oh, he does a really great job.
Like you've been doing it for decades, right?
He's great.
It belies how you're actual age.
But the video of Mike Ryan, when that goal scored,
and he looks at his wife, and then right behind him
is a broadcast booth, and we see Whitty,
and I was like, I lost all respect for you.
Why, I lost all respect for you.
I said this great professional who's been calling it,
like he's been doing this for decades,
you look like a child, like, oh my God!
No, but it was after I was done.
So I did my call, you lay out,
cause you hear the crowd, and then after I was done,
I was looking around and I saw Mike,
he's like pointing his phone at me,
and I did like a double fist pump in the booth.
Unprofessional.
Would Vince Scully ever do something like that?
He ever pump his fist after the Kurt Gibson home run.
I mean, it's saying you need to stay neutral all the way through.
You have to.
I mean, you're a professional broadcast.
I was on the local radio broadcast on the day.
Local radio broadcasters are afforded some extra bits of energy.
Say it again, Brad.
Woodvin Scully.
I think you probably did for the Dodgers.
Wood Chick-Hern.
Wood.
Jack Buck.
Do that on the Aussie Smith home. Would Chick-Hern. Would Jack Buck do that on the Ozzy Smith home run?
Chick-Hern would actually.
I did.
I did.
Chicky baby.
But he is right.
If you're calling them, if you're doing the local call,
you're allowed to be a fan.
You can't.
You're allowed to do some latitude.
You're allowed to do local legend.
He rooted for the dolphins of the booth.
I was okay with it.
Yeah.
You're allowed to do a little home cooking.
You're not allowed to be out here
Pumping your fists and like celebrating with fans
It was like it was a celebratory holy bleep that really actually happened like I've been there before but I haven't
Next next time I see Lino messy flawlessly place a free kick
into the top corner, I will react slightly less
enthusiastically.
I do want to talk women's world cup with you
because a couple of surprising things have happened.
Brazil got knocked out by Jamaica, a team that had to
go fund me just to get to the world cup.
We have the USA Portugal game that ended in a tie
and had a lot of former players. I mean, leave him the space to do the R.s.a. Portugal game ended in a tie and had a lot of uh... former players
leave him the space to do the rake girl
i i didn't think you'd have that one
not well i didn't but just fed it to me
i had it
it's okay continue i'm sorry
but i had
south africa women
advanced
banyana banyana we're so back wow South Africa women advance, Benyana, Benyana.
We're so back. Wow.
These results though,
like they pretend to parody
or what is this that we're seeing.
It's tough to know because the big European countries
are getting better at women's soccer,
the more that they invest in their domestic leagues
and the big clubs,
and all the same, around Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United,
they're all investing in the women's game at a level that they've never had before.
And so we're seeing the big European countries grow. Really, the shock of this world cup has been
the non-big European countries and sort of the non-traditional powers. Obviously,
your Japan's or US's will always do well,
but South Africa is having a good world cup.
Jamaica's having a good world,
even the countries where they're not going through,
but they're not getting embarrassed.
Like the USA only beating Vietnam 3-0,
was an only beating Vietnam 3-0.
And it's been surprising.
I'm not sure if it's sort of a winter world cup,
because this is a winter world cup in New Zealand,
Australia, I think that's certainly a factor,
but it's weird against the backdrop
of so many teams coming into this world cup
fighting with their federations
for money, respect, being treated well.
We see the Canadians go out and the Canadians
have their own mess on their hands.
But yeah, I think the biggest surprise is how good of an account,
countries like Panama, who scored three goals against France today,
I was stunning.
So all these smaller countries are giving good accounts to themselves.
Was the outrage by former players about the USA players celebrating with fans
after a nail-nale draw?
Was that justified?
Or do you think that was a little?
A little or something?
To me, it's a total red herring.
And it's nothing to do with anything, in my opinion.
Like the celebrations after the game
don't have anything to do with the fact that
I think the US Women's Program
isn't a really precarious position right now.
Because the US go into every World Cup,
they go into this World Cup as the favorites.
Because of the tradition of US Women's Soccer. They've won the last two World Cups, they've won three overall, they go into this world cup as the favorites because of the tradition of US women's soccer.
They've won the last two world cups, they've won three overall, they've won gold medals.
The US.
The US is best export to this sport is their women's team.
And so the fact that now other countries, as I said, are devoting resources to women's
soccer, I think the US system from the top down
is going to be exposed in the next few years,
and the US, in my view, are kind of on their way
to being an A minus B plus level women's national team.
I think we're going to see other big European countries
take over the US's place,
atop the women's game, because our system is kind of bad.
It reveals itself in the men's game,
and I think it's now revealing itself more in the women's game
as you see the investment happening in other countries.
I don't disagree with you about our system being in shambles,
like you said. It's very apparent on the men's side that things,
the House is not in order.
I do think when it comes to Carly Lloyd's comments
after the US Portugal game,
it's important for fans who are maybe just tuning in for the first time in four years
to understand some context, which is that Carly Lloyd has been saying these things about
the US Women's National Team now for a couple of years.
She's been saying that there is a toxic culture on the team, even when she was playing.
And a lot of people vehemently disagree with her.
She's of course allowed to have her own opinion.
She has her own experience being part of the team
and part of the thing that she keeps coming back to
and she says this is that the team and players are more
interested in building a brand than winning as a team.
They talk about that a lot, like the older players.
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't necessarily think
that that's something that anyone watching can quantify.
And I'm sure she has her own set of reasons
why she believes that, but I think in a sport
in which every single player at this World Cup
is being underpaid for what they're doing.
If you're a player on any of these teams
and you're trying to capitalize on the short amount
of time where you can create a quote unquoteunquote brand and make money off of your
image and likeness and become more a more popular player and be able to capitalize on that
I just think that it is really
It's not something that I would ever criticize a player for doing first of all
And I also think that it is not the problem with this team
There are so many more glaring issues with the actual tactical play in the formations
and the management of the team than them celebrating after a draw in advancing.
But I think what Carly is trying to say is the best way and the quickest way to build that brand
and maximize that brand is by winning, correct?
But I'd know.
I mean, yes, perhaps that's what she's saying, but I think there is, you can do both.
I would hope that you can do both.
I don't think one necessarily detracts from the other.
She's also speculating so much as someone who's said these things for a few years now
to then come on and say, you know, they don't have the passion or the other team's
consents arrogance that's so speculative.
And I know that's what people are hired to do on these broadcasts to make things, you
know, but if you want to focus on what is wrong,
as Jess said, the tactical level of play,
or in the Netherlands game,
just getting completely run around in the first half,
I think it's an entirely different situation
than putting, she made herself the story.
She made herself the story, as opposed to this team,
which did make it through
to the next round. And I just think what Jess said about being able to be to make that money in
that window, you can't begrudge people that exposure. Well isn't it fair? Because Carly Lloyd is not
someone whose decades removed from this program and she's someone who's highly decorated isn't it fair to at least operate with the
assumption she knows things that we don't know about how it is
inside I say that's fair right I think it's I totally think like
yeah she she's allowed to say whatever she wants I think that
like there are way bigger problems watching the games and if I
were like watching that Portugal game or the Netherlands game my reaction reaction is not like, oh my god, why are they so happy?
My reaction is like, why are they still playing a 4-4-3?
It's not working.
Why are certain players playing center back versus playing, you know, defending midfield?
Like, there's a lot of other things that I see as the problem.
Or even if you want to make a big picture point, for me, my big issue watching, not even just the US women,
but even sometimes the NWSL as well,
it's a very individual game.
You're basically asking players,
go be who you are, special on a one-on-one,
but it's like basketball for the UST,
even down to how ping-ponging the game is.
The style is not, I think I saw a stat
that the average passes per sequence for the US
is like 1.9 pass per sequence,
which is a blowing.
You wanna be stringing passes together.
The US have not done that, not this year.
Not this, the warning sign came at the Olympics
when the US went out in the quarterfinals
of the Olympics in 2021.
They have not played a good soccer for a long time.
Are you gonna be shocked if they win it though?
I mean, honestly, I'd be shocked if this game wins it. I kind of like it's to me. This is anyone's tournament in my opinion.
For sure. Like to me, there should be fairly hot takes about the US women for how poorly they've
played, but you'll have to couch them with, but they might still win because they have ridiculous
talents, right? But to me, the thing is how those talents get put on the field. And I think
systemically, from the national team and their current manager,
Vlako and Dinovsky, all the way down to the domestic league,
all the way down to colleges, all the way down to youth academies,
there isn't enough of an evolution of a style.
Who are we as a soccer country?
And other countries, when they are traditional powers in the men's side,
have gone, all right, how do we fix this from the top down?
I think the US is having their moment.
I don't think they're gonna win.
I think they'll go out in the round of 16
or in the quarter final.
And I think they're going to have to have
a come to Jesus moment.
Who are we as a soccer country?
But real quick, we had the cool against on last week
who said the US second 11 is good enough
to win the World Cup.
Like that's how deep the US is.
It's so deep they can feel two teams.
I think there are collection of talented individuals
from the top down.
That's why it's a problem with Blacko
or with the way that the teams being managed.
If you can't put together a team of collectively talented players
and it's how they play every week.
No, but what do you guys,
they play every week in a style that's very individually focused.
If you guys are saying this team is that talented,
then Jess is right. This is coaching.
What you're criticizing is the coaching.
That's why I wouldn't surprise anyone if they won.
They have the best players in the world on this team.
What is it? I don't think a coach could solve the problem
of the US women's team. I really don't.
It's deeper than that.
Yeah. I think I think it's how our players play at club level.
They're told to express their individual abilities
not in the sense of a collective in the sense of who they are as players. And I think that there's
an overall failure with how coaches are or how players are brought up.
Dan Lebatard. How do people always go missing in the mountains? Don't go to the mountains.
And by the way, I don't want to bring raises. This is the most white people thing ever.
Going missing in the middle of the mountains. It's the strangest thing.
You go by yourself, you don't take a radio,
you don't take a phone,
you're missing for four days,
and they find you like 10 years later covered
and snowing, it's like,
don't go by yourself,
if you're gonna go on a trail,
don't go by yourself.
Still gots.
Put it on the pole,
is it the widest person thing ever?
I believe is what you called it,
going into the woods by yourself.
Is going into the woods by yourself is going into the woods by yourself
I can't disagree with that man. I mean so so black people don't camp. Yeah, black people don't hike
They don't camp they don't go on to the woods. This is the Don Lebertar show with this two gods
It's rare that we get a topic that from the moment it's pitched to me, I'm like, oh,
we have to do this.
I can't remember the last time I've been so excited to do a topic.
Stugots, right before we started, this final hour says to me, hey, let's, we got Whitty
here, let's talk some World Cup soccer, like, okay, cool, cool.
It's also Jeremy's here.
He went to the baseball thing at the Marlins Park with the celebrity game, let's talk okay, cool, cool. It's also Jeremy's here. He went to the baseball thing at the Marlins Park
with the celebrity game, the sub of the article cool.
And then he says, top five cool is dead people.
And I was like, you know what?
I don't even wanna do the rest of this shit.
I just wanna do top five cool is dead people.
The way we got to it in the local hour,
Dan had to leave early today
and he'll be doing some of that as we move forward here.

into a room was the coolest guy in that room.
Instantly became the coolest guy in that room.
And in heaven, whoever was the coolest person in the room in heaven,
when Libba walked in, he became the coolest person in that room.
And so here we are.
