Episode Transcript

(00:13):
Shut up. Hello everyone, andwelcome once again to the One and Only

(00:40):
Fans Show, Episode four and eightysix. If you can believe it,
I'm your host. The Tea Man, Richard Tmon and the Man in the
Other Box, was promoted to cohost last week. He believes that rc
Cola, Pepsi, and Coke basicallythe same thing, just like co host
and host. But no, Itell you right now, they are two

(01:00):
very different things. The Robin myBatman, the Wolverine to my Deadpool.
It is father Malc Malcolm McCoy.How you doing. I'm doing great man,
I'm doing one. I like tothink of myself as Batman. I
mean, yeah, I'm doing greatman. I called you Wolverine. But
clearly like I'm jacked after the trailerthat dropped today, man, like I

(01:23):
went and dunk this out of mycloset. I'm like, I'm feeling it.
This this is oh, it doesn'tfit anymore, but I don't care
because this this is all you need. Right here is the padded pax and
the apps I had once upon atime, I had abs. They were
there for story. I believe it. I believe it. It's gonna get
way too hot. In this thinganyway. Yes, the new Deadpool and

(01:46):
Wolverine trailer dropped today. That's gonnabe a midnight showing that I go and
see. But today's fit is uhprovided by full sale. My school many
sent me some swag. I godown there next month to do a presentation
and I'm a part of like threepanels. So that's gonna be a busy
week for me in Orlando. It'sgonna be fun though. We'll still try

(02:08):
and do an episode, but episodefor eighty six malc it's it was a
weekend. We got the draft comingup this weekend, and that's when you
know, everything changes again for thelandscape of the NFL. Except for some
teams. The more they change,the more they just really stay the same.
But what was your good, bad, and funny from the weekend?

(02:31):
Well, man, I tried tokeep it simple. You know, I'm
usually all over the place, butI asked that to you know, kind
of stuck around the IFL for thegood at least what a good like?
I said? How about Beckam bayErnie Man one of my former teammates,
great guy, really solid dude.They called him his stick and they rightfully.

(02:53):
So it is for a reason,man, a guy racked up twelve
tackles. Yeah six, so sixassisted interception and a past breakup over there
in Quad City Man. And that'snot even the most impressive part. He
really just can't really got there,like just got there. That's too long
ago. I want to say hearrived earlier in the week and didn't even

(03:16):
have a full week of practice,but even still had a performance like that.
That's crazy. And you know,even if we take it back a
little further, he initially signed toSan Diego earlier in the season, before
the season started, actually, andyou know, things didn't work out for
him how he wanted them to overthere. You know, this is a

(03:36):
classic story in one of those guyswho you know, you just you just
keep pushing, man, You gottayou gotta stay on the horse and things
don't go your way. Just youknow, stay by your phone because the
phone will ring for gays who canplay, and sure enough it run for
him. And uh, you knowhe's doing his stay in Quad City Man,
inspiration the guys all over the place, and uh, you know,

(03:58):
just all around good story. Youknow, for the bad I'm gonna switch
it up a little bit here,see my bad and funny. How bad
and funny are actually the same story, you know, because this is one
of those things it's so bad thatit is funny. You know. We
talked a little bit, well alot actually off camera and here on the

(04:18):
show about how sports betting is affectingthe game, whether it be basketball or
football, you know, in someways for the better and a lot of
ways for the worst. This happensto be one of those situations, whereas
for the worst. Former Toronto raptorJohn T. Porter was a band from

(04:39):
the NBA after he was called bettingon himself in the games and you know,
actually sitting out to affect the stats. You know, it's kind of
crazy to hear, like how muchmore money does an NBA starter need?
Man, it's crazy at this point. It's kind of like an addiction.
But like I said, it's sobad because I mean, it's clearly taking

(05:01):
a toll on the game. Youknow, people bet and I don't.
I don't. You know, I'mnot one to shame people for betting.
I don't do it myself anymore.I had my stint with it and I'm
pretty much done. But I mean, you know, it's your money.
You do with it as you will. But I think this is certainly a
case where you usually consider, youknow, just putting the phone down for

(05:26):
a minute, because, like Isaid, you made it on the highest
pedestal of basketball. How much more, Mikey do you need? You know,
Like, what do you think race? Yeah, it's funny because there
was the Last Dance documentary and Jordanwas talking about gambling, you know,
because he did it a lot.And I honestly believe that there's people that

(05:46):
do it just for the thrill ofit, right, Like it's just you
know, whether it's a horse raceor it's a game, or it's a
point spread prop bet, I don'tknow. I mean, they're they're fun
at all. But I really thinkthat people like Jordan exists. I really
think that there's something about going tothe track, picking a horse that's your
horse and watching it and if itwins, there's just like some high that

(06:12):
you get, you know. Andfor some people like Jordan, who were
the greatest of the great at theirprofession and what they did for as long
as they did it, it's likeI I guess, once you're used to
that high, you got to finda new high. Somewhere else and chase
and hope that that high can competewith the other. I don't know how
it works in the mind of aguy like Jordan or Brady or anybody like

(06:36):
that, but yeah, I dothink that it's kind of a genie that
people are trying to contain, notnecessarily put back in the bottle. But
you know, you've let the genieout with sports betting, and these are
the consequences that you are dealing with. It's I don't know how you regulate
it. I don't know what youdo about it, but I do think
that there is a lot of hypocrisy. You know, it's like, oh,

(06:59):
you can do this, you can'tdo that, or you know,
don't do this and don't do that. But yet it's like every other commercial.
You know, it's a headache forme personally for sure. And I
would even go as far as thesay Porter probably wasn't the first one who
did this. I have a hardtime believing that he's like the only guy
who's done this before. He's justbeen the unfortunate example to get caught.

(07:24):
You know. I think they saidthey called him because they didn't specify what
sportsbook it was but they said theyflagged an account for an unusual betting.
I don't know what exactly unusual bettingis, but you know he must have
been on there doing something serious anduh, you know it was grounds for
an investigation. Here we are,man messed up a great opportunity. But

(07:49):
I hope this can be a lessonfor guys that come after him. So
well for me, I don't reallyhave a good. I have a bad
and two funnies. Except right,I guess you can technically say that good
is our content to your hiatus sixepisodes back now and still smacking the crap
out of the competition out there.But also good is can we get more

(08:11):
eminem with NFL content? Like thething that he did with Roger Goodell because
they're in Detroit for the draft?That was epic? So more Eminem,
please, less Taylor Swift, moreEminem's that's all right, So my bad.
We'll get this out of the way. Look, it is so hard
to raise awareness for something and toinfluence change when people are making jokes about

(08:33):
it. And that is the womento men comparisons for athletes and what they
make and their salaries. Like Isee the memes there was the one that
you know, Caitlin Clark is makingthis much as a first overall pick,
and that's less than what Tyreek Hillhas been fined for not wearing socks like
throughout his whole career. And thenshe makes like a fraction of what a

(08:56):
first round NBA overall pick makes.And so, you know, people are
I love the progress that we madewith the viewership. You talked about that
a few weeks ago for your good, you know, and how it was
like breaking all these glass ceilings,setting new records, raising awareness and you
know, really doing some good forthe sport and for women in sports.
And now it seems like we're startingto take a step back because everything has

(09:22):
to be a joke, and Ijust wish they would stop making the comparisons
instead start trying to make it sothat you know they are equal or getting
closer to equal, or that youknow it's not such a huge joke,
because I'm aware that it is,like it's a joke what they make compared
to their male counterparts. But tohave all the high and the progress that

(09:43):
we did from that weekend in theFinal four and the championship to now be
it just feels like we're stepping back, and so that was my bad because
I just was scrolling through and Iwas like, Okay, can we be
done with this. My funny,my first one is the AFL situation,
the OKC Flying Ace's situation. I'veseen all over social media that there's teams

(10:05):
that have housing issues. There's ateam in Kansas with the AFL that's asking
for host families for their players,which is something that minor league hockey and
minor league baseball teams do but notprofessional football leagues do. And then there's
all the stuff going on with ifthey have a venue for OKAC. So

(10:28):
that's just funny because it's one ofthose more things change the more they stay
the same. Yeah, it's just, you know, more stuff to kind
of chuckle at. So if thatbrings me to the other funny, which
is silent jabs, which Malcolm mademe wear that apparently I take. I
didn't know that I did. Wesaid in the first episode that we were

(10:50):
not going to cover the AFL rightnow. We were going to wait and
see like so many other people aredoing. But there's plenty of pages out
there that are diving in the deepend, full fledged you know, coverage
of the AFL, and they're justlike here's this and here's the uniform,
and here's where they're playing, andhere's their roster. It's just like okay,
like that's great for them, Likethat's not what we're going to do

(11:11):
here. And also on that note, Malcolm like, I'm not really silent
about things when I want to,you know, put something out there,
throw something out there. I'm prettyI'm pretty open about it. Like,
you know, why are there somany pages trying to be like us?
Why does Matt Patton want to beme so bad? I don't know,
it's just you know, like I'mI'm not going to be shy about it.

(11:37):
And there's some pages that have hadissue with me that some of the
comments on their recent posts. Peoplehave sent me screenshots that are rather funny.
Somebody who wanted to assume what Ihad been doing over the last two
years. Malcolm and I have laughedabout this several times. Somebody commented that
their page had become more of theold man shouting at the cloud and less

(12:01):
news and things like that. Soget your news and your content where you
want, but we try to stickto the stuff that's you know, less
angry old man yelling at cloud andmore funny with me and Malcolm here the
new co host of the Fans Show, and so he had some responsibilities and
duties this last weekend for this episode. So we had a lot of action

(12:24):
in week six. Malcolm, we'llrun down these final scores. Thursday,
it was Tucson in San Antonio andupset. But Mitchell did not play for
Tucson. According to sources, heneeded a rest week, whatever that means.
He did get sacked four times theweek before, so who knows how
bad that was. But Tucson thirtysix, San Antonio sixty. So the

(12:46):
gun Slingers winless no more. Bothteams are one and two. Castronova had
a great game fourteen of nineteen,one hundred and forty two yards, seven
touchdowns, no interceptions, and onerushing touchdown. Friday it was the Soux
Fall storm on the road and theyfell to the Green Bay blizzard. So
it looks like the blizzard are forreal at least right now. Final score
thirty five forty eight storm or zeroand four blizzard. A nice three and

(13:11):
one. Max Miler was back andthe defense was getting it done. Miler
thirteen to twenty one hundred and fiftythrough the air, three touchdowns on the
ground and three through the air.Lorenzo Brown, though, is back with
the storm, so that'll be somethinginteresting to see. And then Saturday Super
Saturday, we had Vegas going intoJacksonville sixty one to thirty five. Your

(13:33):
final Vegas is perfect, one ofonly three remaining undefeated teams. Jack's fault
orin oh and four, they're oneof five win list teams still, or
I should say one of four winlessteams because Gunslingers they've gotten a win.
Now it's just ouched for Jacks.I mean, their schedule has not been
kind, but they're not in theNAL anymore. Like this is it's time

(13:54):
to figure it out. It becausesan Antonio. Yes, you could argue
that Tucson did not have they're startingQB, but still san Antonio has looked
like they have improved with every outing. And that's a tough win against the
Tucson team, against any Billy backteam. So Jacksonville's got figured out.
But Jerome Johnson man twelve to fourteenfor one hundred and eighty four five touchdowns

(14:16):
through the year, no rushing touchdowns. This guy gets it done strictly aerial
assault mass That was the big upsetof the weekend. They went in undefeated.
They are undefeated no more against QuadCity forty three to fifty four Quad
City two and two. Now,then we had let's see Frisco and Tulsa.
This was that game, sixty tothirty two, Frisco the Fighters.

(14:41):
They're still undefeated. Boilers fall totwo and two. Edwards fourteen to seventeen,
one hundred and fifty three, fourtouchdowns, and then he was seventeen
rushing attempts for fifty seven yards andthree touchdowns on the ground. Then Arizona
narrowly escapes Iowa. I don't evenknow what to say about this game.
Kettle was the quarterback again, fifteenand nineteen, one hundred and forty yards,

(15:03):
two touchdowns. Brooks had three tdsrushing on the ground. Kyle King
didn't look too bad, thirteen tothirty, one hundred and seventy one and
fourth tds and two rushing touchdowns.So final score was forty nine forty seven
there, and then we had SanDiego fifty, Bay Area fifty three,
a bad love unbeaten, so we'redown to three now San Diego the strike

(15:26):
Force fall to three and one.It was Harper again at quarterback for the
Panthers. Davis thirteen to seventeen onehundred and forty one yards and four tds.
Harper nine to fifteen ninety six yards, one TD and two picks.
So's it's crazy how they were ableto get it done for San Diego and
then finally Duke City twenty three,Northern Arizona thirty nine. So, Malcolm,

(15:50):
what stood out to you? Whatdo you want to talk about?
Man? There were a few thingsin particular, honestly games that I was
more so excited to see than others. A great week of football for one.
But first off, you know,I gotta start where where I started

(16:10):
in the iflor Duke City. Man, they just they just can't catch a
break. Rich, It's crazy.The QB troubles just won't let up at
this point. They started off withJohn Juhn, who I believe came from
the XFL. They brought him ina couple of weeks back because they were
having QB troubles already. But youknow, he just it's a huge transition.

(16:34):
We've spoken on this before. Howyou know, the outdoor game is
totally different from playing indoor. Thetiming is different, the route combinations are
different, the routes themselves are alot different, and he just couldn't seem
to really get a grasp with everything. He got sacked a number of times
and through an interception to d Linemanactually, who ended up taking it back

(16:55):
for a score. So at thatpoint they tried to go with Jeremy hick
Bottom, who actually threw an interceptionhis first playout there from scrimmage. From
there, you know, it waspretty bad, you know, the following
drift they came back, I thinkhe fumbled and they ended up scoring off
of that as well. But hefinished the game, and I think that

(17:18):
may be who they're going with goingforward. And although Nas kind of brought
it to him the whole time,the score was surprisingly close, but it
didn't reflect what was going on atall, and Nas was really bringing it
to him. They were getting beatup the entire game. Rzie mccorkor,
I mean, we've been talking abouthim for some time. Man had another
great game, some contested catches,one for a couple of touchdowns, actually

(17:44):
had a really deep one which wascool, and Jones had a couple interceptions,
but ultimately had some strong plays aswell. Also, let's go to
the following day. I believe SanDiego and Bay Area. You know,
the dominator said appropriately the battle orthe undefeated, which was very true.

(18:04):
You know, one of them hadto lose. They were one of like
you said, at this point,like one of four or two of four
teams who were undefeated before this weekend. But uh, it was an interesting
game to say the least, forsure, right, I don't think I've
seen the start that exciting to anIFL game this season, much less at

(18:26):
all. You know, they bothstarted their second string quarterbacks, which was
a little odd, but I believedKwon Neale was still you know, going
through the clearing process with that backand Tuo what that. But Felix Harper
and Rudie Johnson ended up getting thestart. They both came out the gun

(18:47):
with interest. Well, one wasan interception. I think Felix Harper through
the interception, but San Diego lookedto turn around when they brought Nate back
in. He had a game himselfin the in the although he did play
the entire game, ended up havingfive touchdowns, which was crazy and very
very Nate esque. You know,he's in the league, so I mean

(19:10):
it's to be expected. He's like, he's the big guy, and they
looked at him for leadership and hewon't disappoint. Let's talk about Arthur Jackson
too. Man, He's he's beentearing it up too. I mean,
he's he hasn't been getting as muchbuzz in the league as I think he
deserves because he's a talented guy.Man, he's just been having a great

(19:30):
season. I want to say hehas eight touchdowns now when they're in their
four games that they played so far, and the second well nine touchdowns,
but I'm not mistaken, and thesecond closest to him has like maybe four
or five. It's kind of ridiculous. But man, the gap and ball
man, freak athlete, great routerunner. I mean, he shows it

(19:52):
in the games. He's definitely oneof their premier players. And I mean
it doesn't he doesn't disappoint. Butnonetheless, they ended up f all in
the Bay Area. Really good game. But you know, Felix Harper ended
up proving that he was he's he'sa force to be reckon with. With
that last that last rushing touchdown,he kind of put the dagger in him.
That's a really cool uh. TheTucson and san Antonio man that was

(20:18):
that was a surprising one for sure. I definitely didn't expect san Antonio to
put out. I knew they wouldput it together at some point because it
was just a matter of time.They have a lot of great players,
a lot of talent. The coachingis really good too. It just seems
as though they weren't able to messand click until now, you know,
like you said earlier, my leadMitchell didn't end up playing at all,

(20:41):
So they played Terrence Gibson. Whathe didn't do too bad. But I
think the tailor the tape for Tucsonultimately was they just couldn't. They just
couldn't get going how they normally do. And whether that was because of Mitchell's
absence or that, I'm not entirelysure. And against a team like san
Antonio, who has the talent isjust waiting to put it together, you

(21:03):
can't you can't play them as ifthey're a bad team, because that's not
the case at all. Like Isaid, they've had, they had the
talent, has just been you know, facing teams that were actually will more
more experienced than they were. Butin this situation, they Tucson wasn't able
to answer the call and the Goslingersdid, so you know ended up how

(21:26):
it did for me. Uh,it starts with you know green Bay,
Max Smiler is that dude for them? I know, props Skyler Perry for
getting them through that one week,but I mean on the ground, through
the air, this dude can justdo it all. And green Bay should
be so happy that they have.Their defense was huge. They stepped up
big time in this game. Butman, green Bay is just uh,

(21:48):
they've they've got something. They needto hang on to it and just keep
it rolling, just keep it rollingweek to week. A huge shout out
though to our man Claude Davis gota receiving touchdown in that game, A
big man, the old Man asthey called him on the broadcast. I
was very happy for him his firstcareer touchdown, like twenty five years later
or something out of that, butgood for him. Arizona and Iowa,

(22:15):
man, oh this this game,Like, I don't know what the deal
is with Arizona. So Brown isgoing to go back or he is back
with the Storm, but he'll probablystart next week. I would imagine.
I don't know what that's going todo for the Storm because there are certain
players, yes that no teams inoffense, but Riggs is there anymore?
I know it's Riggs's son, it'sthe coordinator, but I just I don't
know if this is a plug andplay situation. You pick up like nothing,

(22:37):
you know what ever happened, likethere was no time gone. But
anyway, Arizona had cattle and thenIowa now with Kyle King, who I
think has some real potential. Butthis was a game that should not have
been as close. If Arizona isreally just a quarterback away from being a
top five team and they're not.And so you look at my PAW rankings

(23:00):
from this week, people argue,well, Arizona's two and three and Tucson's
one in three, shouldn't Arizona beabove Tucson. No, they shouldn't.
In fact, that win against theteam like Iowa, with as close as
it was almost hurt Arizona more.I would not pick Arizona to be Tucson,
especially if they have you know,Mitchell, and I just I don't

(23:22):
know what this team is going throughright now, but they need to fix
it quick because we're already going intoweek seven. And then finally the Massachusetts
upset. I told you last weekI said I really want this to be
a test for them, and itwas. Now Quad City's defense brought it.
And then jud Erickson it looks likehe was playing for his job.
He did really well. But allseason long I have said, who have

(23:48):
the Pirates played? Who have theyplayed? Who have they played? And
people would give me shit because theyweren't like number one or one or two
like I had them in top three. Moved them up once. Now there's
six, and that's where I feelthey belong to now. And just it's
a team that you know, assoon as they play somebody with a five
hundred or winning record, I wantto see how well they do. And

(24:08):
they did not do well. Itwas on the road, yes, but
this is a game that they shouldhave won if they're really as good as
people think they are. So rightnow, I just don't think that the
Pirates are that good. So that'sour Week six takeaways. So Malcolm,
it looks like you've got some teamsand players to watch. I've got some
teams and players to watch. Sonow we're gonna go ahead and break down

(24:29):
week number seven. But first wedo have a special guest. All right,
folks, Before we get to ourpredictions for the next week of IFL
action, we want to welcome ourguest. At this time, he's with
the Northern Arizona Wranglers, who wereoff to a three and one start this
season. He's lighting it up offensively. It's Ouraiah mccorker. Mccorker. We

(24:49):
wanted you, we got you.Welcome to the show man, Thank you.
I'm glad to be here. Iappreciate it. Yeah, man,
I gotta say, it's not everyday a player like we one and two
catch our attention like you did.Even before we started recording on those episodes,
Malcolm and I would be like,dude, you say I'm a corker
guy like that is? That isa dude. So clearly the i f

(25:12):
L you have their attention as wellas everybody else. How's it felt for
you though this season, you know, playing ball for the Wranglers and doing
it special teams and offense and allthe good stuff there. It feels pretty
good. To be honest, cominginto training camp, I wasn't really expected
to be here. A lot ofguys didn't know, no, really know

(25:33):
nothing about me. As you cantell, I'm not like a six sport
type guy. I'm not you know, I'm not a big dude. So
I didn't really stand out in thattype of way. But but when I
got here though, I would justI was just focusing on one thing,
just knowing that I know I canrepete with the best of them. It
was just all about just showing myability, showing it did I belong here?
And then once I did that,everything is just it was football in

(25:55):
the day at that point, likesome not been doing. So I was
six years old, so at thatpoint I just started learning. When I
started learning the offense and just learninghow the game goes, how bad the
game is, how it flows,it started becoming to simple to me.
So what do you like about theWranglers as far as what they do?
Because Jones is a really good quarterback. He's performed very well. But you
obviously bring a multifaceted kind of SwissArmy knife like dynamic to the offense and

(26:19):
the special teams. So when you'renot out there doing the work, you
know, what do you like aboutthe team and coach Les Moss and what
kind of heat his philosophy that hebrings to the team. I just love
the fact that they put us ingreat positions to be able to win and
give multiple players on our team chancesto be in a great opportunity to put
points on the board or do whoeverwe can to do to get our team

(26:41):
in the best position we can towin the game. So I love to
aspects as our coaching stab and theygot us as a as family. I'm
not sure you know, but you'veonly been together nine days going to training
camp before the first game. Sobeing that we won three games after the
first game, and be a prettyyoung team like you, like twenty six
of us our thirty was all rookies. So being that we are pretty young

(27:03):
team, like the fact and howthey got us to come together pretty quickly,
just build a brotherhood type family typebond and then and then that translate
on the field and you see uswin the game. Now, is this
your rookie year? Yeah, thisis my rookie year. I literally my
last game was December thirtieth in theABC Upiskimbo. So I just got done

(27:25):
playing collegetball. Wow, that's awesome, man, all right, Newly promoted
co hosts father Out Malcolm McCoy.What questions do you have for our guest
Areaiah mccorker. What's sure, Man, there's a lot of questions. Man,
I got to narrow it down becausewe just don't have the time for
it. Man. But but sure, like you said, Bro, I
mean, yeah, you're doing ata high level. Man. Uh,

(27:45):
you know, I want to congratulateyou on that, especially seeing as how
this is just your rookie season.Man. Yeah, you're making a name
for yourself and uh, you know, you're putting yourself in a great position
going forward the rest of this seasonand you know, for the rest of
the rest of your career. Comefor sure, Bro, I appreciate that
for sure. Yeah, man,Yeah, for sure. One thing that

(28:07):
I kind of know as a playermyself is that you know, when you're
looked at or look too to makethose big plays, A lot of times
it can kind of the pressure made. It does one or two things to
people. Some people embrace it andplay better because of it, but I've
also seen it, like, youknow, make people fold because it's just
it's just too much weight on theirshoulders. What do you do to kind

(28:32):
of stay grounded, and I guessnot let the moment get too big and
still play your game knowing that likegoing into the game, your teammates,
the coaches, the fans, everybody'slooking at you for those big players.
Really just just staying humble. Ifanybody know my story, Like I didn't
go to no big time schools.I went to too small d two schools.

(28:52):
I went to junior college, terriblejunior college. We didn't win games.
But it's just about that because Iknow it's always more to get better
from, you know, like neverget complacent of what I'm accomplishment, you
know, because it could be somebodyout there just working just as harder or
if not harder than what I'm doing. So I just try not to get
complacent about his death and just keepmy head Like no, at the end

(29:14):
of the day, it's still football. Is to the game. It can
go either one way or two ways, good or bad, and just you
know, just staying humble, likenot get too high, not get too
low. You just go out thereand just stay focused and keep playing football.
Is like I said in the day, it's football. So once you
make those big plays, you kindof get used to making those plays and
then it is part of your gameat that point, like you just practice
it. Make sure you crisping everythingyou do, your route running and catching

(29:34):
the ball, Understanding the game,understanding how they're switching coverages, because since
we've been playing, everybody played usdifferently, especially me, Like I get
doubled some games. Some games theytry to send the linebacker or drop the
d M so I don't get likequick things. So it's all about understanding
what you're opponent trying to throw atme, and just staying levelheaded at the
end of the day, because Idon't want to get too high and especially

(29:56):
never get too low. And Ialways know how football can go, especially
I feel into football in general.Again, it's an up and down game.
So it's all about just me juststaying ground and staying humble for sure.
That's all right, man, That'sall right for sure. And I
just man, I want to encourageyou to stay stay that way too,
bro, because I mean, youknow, like I said, I've seen
I've seen the game like make orbreak people, man, and you're on

(30:19):
a great path, especially with thisbeing your first year. So keep doing
what you're doing. Brother, forsure, I appreciate that for sure.
So now I have a couple ofquestions because that prompted a few. So
first, which do you prefer specialteams or offense? Like with which touchdown
feels better? Is it going youknow, end zone to end zone on
the kick return or is it youknow you got most style in the back

(30:41):
of the end zone over the walls. It really just depends on the game
really, but my being that myfirst testdown was a kickoff return, that's
really exciting because you can get thecrowd more into the game and that really
like changed the dynamic of a game. Like you score offense, like you
that'sn't let me happen. Scoring onteams is a big, big difference because

(31:02):
that don't really help happen at oftenin any level of football. So being
there, I feel like scoring akick return is more exciting, but I
feel like on offense is just somethingthat it's more natural for me to do
because I've just been doing it forso long. Yeah, people have already
made comparisons. I'm one of them. You to BJ Hill, who's an
IFL Hall of Famer on special teamsif you get a chance, if you

(31:22):
don't know who that is, lookingup. Yeah, I already looked him
up. Definitely already know who thatguy is for sure. Dude's a good
friend of mine. Man. Hewas great for Green Bay and the Blizzard,
just like you are for the Wranglers. So yeah, it's I think,
if not more, the chances area kick return touchdown gets called back
for some blocking them back or holding, and so the fact that you've been

(31:45):
able to do that and not havethose penalties called on you is really something.
But you are so fun to watchout there. And so then I
got to ask, because you mentioned, you know that you didn't win a
lot, you know, whether itwas high school or college, and the
small schools know three and one.How does it feel to be winning now
at a professional level? I reallyit feels good. I mean in high

(32:07):
school we did win a lot,just we got to the playoffs. It's
we always lost in the first round. And then when I went to my
junior college, I didn't win atall. But when I got when I
got here, just being able togo three games in a row, not
just winning, but just winning threegames in a row, it's a great
feeling because it's a pro level.Nope, we was ranked number eleven coming

(32:28):
in, so nobody really expected usto do this. So being that wee
three and one now, it justjust all about just keeping the ball rolling,
keep staying focused, keep doing whatwe're doing. But it feels it
feels really good, especially Victory Mondays, Victory Sundays. Coming off those victories,
it feels it feels amazing to beable to be winning that we are
all right. My last one foryou here is that you guys are going

(32:50):
to take on the Tucson Sugar Skulls. There's three teams in Arizona, which
is crazy, and you guys arethe newest one of that bunch. Now,
obviously, as a rookie, youdon't know my about these teams beyond
if you've played them before or justwhat you see on the film. However,
you do know rivalries, and that'ssomething that we love here in the
IFL. So how do you feelabout this game going into Tucson? You

(33:12):
know, hostile territory. They're comingoff a loss, looking to you know,
break that losing streak, and thenyou guys are hot right now,
right in the winning streak. Soyou know, when it comes to rivalries,
how do you prepare yourself for onelike this, well, I know
it's gang gonna be even even moretough because we beat them already in this
in this a way is on theroad, so I understand the rivalry,

(33:35):
but I think what we got todo. We just as long as we
prepare the right way going to theweek, not really worrying about the crowd
or how big the rivalry is.Just it's just stay focused on football.
We should be fine. Like Ireally feel like our defense is coming together
for sure, because the first gameon the defense when we played Twosonday,
the quarterback ran the ball a lotof us, and that's because we still
had a young defense, so theystill understand the game. But the last

(33:58):
two games, our defense been beendoing pretty good, especially winning quarterbacks.
So I feel like going into thisgame, as long as we execute practice,
will prepare well, we should befine. We should come out with
victory. Like it might be someadversity, that's what happens when you're on
the road, ups and downs.You never know. Some calls may not
go our way, but as longas we stay focused and do and play
wrangular football, we'll come out withthe win. For Sture, it's awesome

(34:22):
to hear man, Well, Malcolm, any final thoughts or questions for mister
mccorker here before we cut the liSure just one more man? I know,
I know, you know you relaxand everything. I don't want to
hold you up too long. Butnow I'm curious, as I mean,
you're in You're in a pretty Iguess I should say rare position OI because

(34:44):
you being a rookie, there isnot too often that you know you're getting
it. You're having as much successas you are. And I'm sure even
though you're a first year guay,it's a lot of people probably looking at
you for you know, leadership andand things like that. How has that
been for you? Like being beinga leader although you're you're still a fairly

(35:08):
young guy, and so it's beenpretty good. Like it just came natural,
honestly. Like when I was goingto training camp, I didn't really
talk that much because like I wasin the third stream, the last stream,
the receivers, receiving group. SoI was more so trying to prove
myself to make sure that I canget on the team and show that I
belong here. But once I didthat, it was just like everybody like

(35:28):
kind of like gravitated to me,and I felt like I took that upont
me and feel like I should bethe one that get our guys ready,
especially me doing the things I doon the field, and they feed off
that, like our defense feel that, our quarterback, our receivers, everybody
on our team, including our coaches, they feel off that. So I
just do my best. Is comein and just wouldn't never say just be
motivational, but just showed Lee byexample, like make sure like everybody doing

(35:51):
the right thing, just staying focused, staying locked in, and it's not
getting to the point like when webreak it down, they all just say
it's on U r Z. Likethey just all go to me because it's
just they just they see that I'ma good person, I'm a I'm a
great leader. I know how tolead a team, and being that I'm
a rookie, sometimes it's just someof those things just come natural. Like
sometimes you just can't teach that,like you just feel it. You just

(36:13):
feel it in your heart and youjust go with it. And that's how
I've been doing it, and sofar I've been doing a pretty good jobs.
So I'll say not even think he'sa raw rock guy probably not not
giving me those whatever. So improved. He definitely is so improved all of
us really. Yeah. Man,Well, hey, it's been fantastic to

(36:36):
get you on here. I'd liketo break the ice and get you on
once so we can have you backagain and it can be a little bit
more fun stuff. I know thatyou're a rookie and sometimes it can be
nervous to do media stuff. Buthey, me and Malcolm, we're just
all about having fun and hanging outwith you guys for as long as we
get to. But thank you somuch for your time. Man, We
really appreciate it. I appreciate youguys for sure. I'm definitely looking forward

(36:57):
to do this again. It won'tbe the last time you hear me for
sure. Oh absolutely. Man.You just keep tearing it up. Special
teams offense, we love it.You're due for a hat trick again.
Man. You had like two inthe first two games and now you've been
like one shot the last couple,so we're ready for us. I get
that second one is like we startgetting to like running the ball a lot.
Trying to be conservative, so butmy gold this week is trying to

(37:20):
get three in the first half ofthat. We don't have to worry about
it, all right, folks.Well, once again he is our Zam
mccorker lighting it up on special teamsand on the offense for the three and
one Northern Arizona Wranglers. Thank youso much, man, We will see
you next time. Good luck thisweek to you guys. Thank you.
I appreciate you guys. Have agood one and one more big thank you
to our Zam mccorker. I lovethat you and I just put it out

(37:43):
there in the universe like, hey, like this is who we want and
we got one. You know whatI mean? What they say that,
what's the buzz where we manifested them? Yes, manifested all right. So
that will bring us to an actionpacked week seven. We got some Friday
games, we got some Saturday games. We even are back to some Sunday

(38:04):
games. So Malcolm did get tothe one game that we were different on
correct. So, uh, there'sa lot riding on this. He's gonna
get to pick another punishment. Youknow, you should love that punishment how
it turned out, because uh,Danha was like, he needs to not
pick stuff that involves you doing yourhair. It was like thirty minutes hairspray

(38:29):
and product. Hey, I willtell you if people loved it, man,
if people loved it when I postedit, I couldn't even at that
gap from me. People love youknow, that's well. I do think
it's funny though, that she's thehairstylist, right, but yet when it
comes to doing an effective mohawk,I can run circles around her. I

(38:52):
said, no, you gotta dothis. She's like, that's not how
it's done. I was like,trust me, it's how it's done.
And so we did agree though thatbefore I cut my hair, I'm going
to cut it into a mohawk andshe's gonna diet. We're going to do
one last you know, hurra.But it's gonna be the longest it's ever
been. It's gonna be huge,but there will be picks for that.
But yeah, I found my animalone see, and I was like,

(39:14):
this will work. And then shedid that ridiculous drum solo. And then
I had to post the video ofdrum off and be like, okay,
this is what it should have looked. Oh but the legendary drum solo,
man, when when was was thatthe one that you posted like the actual
one. Was that like before youget in the band? Or was that

(39:36):
like where was that in your inyour musician journey? Dude? That was
the height of my of my banddays because we were we were touring,
we were in the band, anduh, I wanted to do drum off.
I'd done it like two years prior, and I was like third one,
and so I I won the storefinals and that was the district finals,

(39:58):
and so I got beat out becausesome judges this just don't appreciate showmanship,
you know, They're they're more lookingfor technical stuff and rudiments and whatnot,
and it's just not when you thinkof solos, whether it's guitar or
drums, you're not thinking about theguys like technique or his rudiments or fundamentals.
You're thinking, can the guy playwhile the guitar is on fire?

(40:19):
Can the guy drum while it's upsidedown? Like? That's what I'm thinking
of, and that's what I triedto do. So I'm right there with
you. I'm all boy. Butif I wasn't that if I was in
that panel man anyway, So thatwas the punishment. It's done. I'll
leave it up for an extra daybecause it took me a day or two
to finally get it up. Butanyway, that that was for Malcolm.

(40:44):
So Week seven, here we go. First one is the oh and four
Iowa Barnstormers taking on the three andone Green Bay Blizzard Friday in Green Bay,
Iowa. Kyle King looked good.They took it to Arizona. I
don't know who that speaks louder forArizona and their issues or if Iowa is

(41:05):
starting to maybe bring it around.But I don't think it's gonna be this
week that they put it all together. Although we did say that about a
few teams in previous weeks and theyhappen to make a click. So who
knows. But I'm gonna go greenBay on this. Yeah, I agree.
I agree, And I like thispart of the season because this is
where it starts to get a lotmore unpredictable. Like you said, it's

(41:29):
we we have like kind of shotdown some teams in the past who uh,
you know, surprise us. Allyou know, they're the underdog coming
into a game and they ended upupsetting the team. So all in all,
I don't think that'll be the casefor Iowa. You know, they
are kind of been in the cornerjust slightly. But Green Bay, like

(41:52):
we said before, they definitely haveit together. So I think they'll come
out with it all right. Sothat brings us to our other Friday game,
and that will be the San Antoniogun Slingers winless, no more,
and they will take on an undefeatedFrisco Fighters team. The Fighters, they
are undefeated and they are only numbertwo in my power rankings because they're not

(42:12):
the raigning champions. I mean,that is how good of football that they
have been playing both sides. TJ. Edwards is that guy. But Castronova,
Malcolm, you know him, You'vetalked him up. He's really started
to put it together. So thiscould be something that Frisco cannot overlook.
I know it's one win, butreally it was only a matter of time.

(42:32):
I feel for the gun Slingers.So who do you like in this
one? So, like you said, Castronova, he's a dog man,
really a dog leader of any teamhe goes to and he wears it.
You know, he's definitely a guy. But when I think about teams,
I like to kind of dumb itdown a little bit for people who are

(42:53):
his avid football fans as the bothof us. When I think of San
Antonio, they're more like a powerhouse. They like their offense is they can
air it out. But ultimately whenI think of their team, they're they're
like a a like I said,the powerhouse. Whereas Frisco, they can

(43:15):
alter their game plan no matter whothey're playing, and they move around and
they do they do a lot ofthings well, but they capitalize on what
the other team, their opposing teamdoesn't do well. So I definitely think
Frisco is going to take it home. And also, I mean you can't
ignore the fact that you know,Edwards is just an electrifying gup and he's

(43:39):
been, you know, just tearingup every team he's win again so far.
So yeah, like I said,Frisco, Frisco is gonna be on
the board with this one. Yeah, I'll take Frisco in this one.
I have no reason to think thatthey won't perform. Well. They're at
home again, They've had four oftheir five games have been at home now
this season. That last week wastheir first one on the road. So

(44:01):
yeah, I like first going this. That'll bring us to the first Saturday
matchup, which is the winless DukeCity Gladiators and the red hot Vegas Knights.
Now these guys, they climbed upto number three on my power rankings
because one, it's hard to keepan undefeated team below a team that has
even one loss. But this isa team that I truly believe is getting

(44:23):
better with every game, even despitetheir schedule. It's like they are consistent,
They are consistently good, and soI think that right now they're the
third best team in the league.And I'm gonna pick Vegas to get another
win and stay undefeated, of course, of course, and I'm gonna do
I'm gonna be right with you onthat too. I'd like how you said

(44:45):
they're getting better week by week,and it all starts with Jerome Johnson.
Of course, he's the leader ofthat team, and I love how he
initially. It's almost it's almost likehow in the NFL theyknd of highlight what
you do well and what they believeyou can't do. I've heard criticism that
he's not a true quarterback because he'smore of a scatty guy. He doesn't

(45:08):
go through his breeze and everything,and almost as to prove those critics wrong,
like you said, he threw forfive touchdowns and and you know,
just lights out passing. So yeah, man, it's not enough I could
say about the gap. I mean, he's a great player and he's leading

(45:29):
a great team. So they're definitelygonna take it to Duke City. It's
unfortunate. Maybe Duke City will getit to click. I don't know.
They just have not looked like they'vewon championships. But they look like the
Sharks right now, like as ifthey're a team fresh to the league,
you know, And it's yeah,they've been around for a few seasons,
so they should have it a bitmore together than this. But it's whatever.

(45:52):
So we both like the Nighthawks.That'll bring us to Massachusetts. Pirates
reeling off a road loss, they'reon the road again in the same kind
of territory. They go to SiouxFalls to take on a winless Storm.
This is a team that I ispissed off. They should They are doing
the worst that they have in franchisehistory. But I guess post Rigs,

(46:13):
I mean, you're gonna there's alot to live up to, right,
So I don't know. This couldbe another setup for mass to not perform
very well. They're on the road, which they have not been very well
on the road. In Green Baythat was a very close game they lost
to Quad City, So this onecould be a tighter game than what we

(46:35):
expect. I will go with massjust because for people that think that I'm
hating on the Pirates, I'm not. It's just like, who have they
played? So, you know,I'll pick them on the road against the
Storm, But I'm not going tobe shocked if somehow the Storm find a
way to win this one. Yeah, Ale one will be shocked. I

(46:58):
agree that Mass is know their strengthand competition hasn't been the best, but
winning like just constantly does something toyour team. Man. You know,
it does something for the fan base, it does something for the coaching staff.
You just kind of get that thatfeel that you know, I don't
want to say you're expecting to win, but you go into every game,

(47:21):
you know, just not wanting tolet down those people who are expecting you
to win. They understand that theyhave a strong fan base and a pretty
proud fan base who would hate tosee them lose to a suit fall.
So you know, I think they'regoing to go and and go in there
and have you know something to prove? You know, all those all those
suit falls. It is certainly notthe best competition they will see. I

(47:44):
definitely think they have something to proveand they're going to prove it for sure
on Saturday. Yeah, both teamshave already played once. It was a
relatively close game. Some people thoughtmaybe Sue Falls was going to get the
win there, but that was inmassive ones and Swue Falls who both like
the Pirates. So the next gamethe schedule here, and since I went
first both times, Malcolm, youget to go first on this one.

(48:05):
Northern Arizona the Wranglers. We justtalked to their guy mccorker and got some
insight from him, and they willtake on Tucson Sugar Skulls. Whether or
not Mitchell is playing. I believeaccording to my source that he will be
after his rest week, whatever thatmeans. But who taking this one man?
See, that's what's going to fallback on. I don't want to
say that my league Mitchell is literallyTucson's whole team, but I do feel

(48:30):
like he's their whole offense, andI feel like if he doesn't play,
their entirely different team, so wellnot the not to discredit Mike Jones either,
He's a he's a guy, hehas been a gap for some time.
But I think I'll take this isa tough one, Rich, for
sure, I'll take I'll take Tucsonin this one, man. I think

(48:57):
that for one, I do thinkmy league Mitchell will end up playing.
And I feel like this loss thispast week just left a nasty chase in
their mouth, and they understand thatit lost this coming week will put them
in a pretty bad position. Imean, because we're almost at the mid
season mark. You know, ifyou if you enter mid season with the
losing record, I mean, youknow, it's it's just it's hard to

(49:21):
bounce back later on in the season. So I think that they understand,
and I think that they're going totry to put it back together this week.
A lot rides on Mitchell if he'sthe starter. And how crazy is
it that these two teams so muchrides on the performance of their rookie,
right, I mean, mccorkor andNas and Mitchell and Tucson. I do

(49:42):
agree that bad taste. They're angry, they're at home, but Nas,
man, they are there. That'sthe hot hand, I feel, right,
now as far as the non undefeatedteams go, and I think mccorker's
pretty good. This is a rivalrygame, it will be in hostile territory
like Tucson. But I feel likethey need more than just Mitchell because that
game against the Gun Slingers, itshould not have been that big of a

(50:06):
point differential. It really like itshould have been closer all things considered.
So I don't know. I don'tknow if he just brings that much like
the whole team comes together with Mitchell'sout there, it's the glue or what
I mean, he's quarterback. Sure, but I will take nas. I'm
gonna go Northern Arizona in this one. So there we have a difference of
opinion on that one. For Sundaymatchups, we start with the Tulsa Oilers

(50:30):
and the Quad City steam Wheelers.This should be an interesting pick for Malcolm
and myself as we have a pairof two and two teams, so anything
can happen. Oilers fresh off ahome loss to the Fighters, and then
the Quad City fresh off of ahome win given the first loss of the
season to a team like the MassachusettsPirates. So Malcolm, your pick,

(50:53):
you taken right. You said thisis gonna be an interesting one for sure.
Strong teams man too, strong defensesfor sure. And like we said
earlier, with the addition of becamea Kearney Kenby hitstick Kearney, I'm sorry,
Uh you know, I I believeDuncan over there doing this thing.

(51:14):
It's it's it's gonna be they're forcedto reckon with, to force to be
reckon with on defense for sure.I think that's what it's gonna end up
being a defensive game on both sidesbecause you know, as we know,
Toulsa's defense led by what's the guyJones, He's he's a dog man,
you got you got a hawk overthere in the in the secondary, they're

(51:37):
they're doing great man on defense.So I think that's what I think is
gonna come down to whose defense canget the most stops. And I personally
think, contrary to popular belief,uh, I do love I do like
Tolsa a lot, So I'm gonnago with Tosa on this one. So
yeah, it might it might raisea few eyebrows, but yeah, I

(51:58):
mean I'm taking Toasta. I likeit, Okay, So this is going
to be one of those moments thatpeople are gonna hit screen record on their
phones or whatever devices because Malcolm andI are different and it's for the craziest
pick. I got a bunch ofcrap from people for picking against Quad City
last week, and I was like, you cannot be serious, like really,

(52:19):
like it's an undefeated team. Youguys had to swap out your quarterback
for a series in the last game, and you just have not looked like
a cohesive unit. Last game wascompletely different. They had it clicking and
they need to keep it going Tulsa. This is a true test for both
teams, and I think because Ihave picked Tulsa so many times so far
this season, I'm do one topick against them without hurting any feelings.

(52:45):
So I will go with the steamWheelers. At home, I will be
sort of tail listen to this guy. It's promoted the co host. Now
he's like, I might tell everybodythat you picked against them. Okay.
That brings us to the next Sundaygame, which is the winless Jacksonville Sharks,

(53:07):
who just really haven't looked like they'vegotten any better, which is crazy
all things considered, But again,this is not the NAL anymore. They
will take on the two and threeArizona Rattlers. They end their losing streak
in a very close game against theteam that I have at the very bottom
of the rankings IOWA. The onlyteam above them is the Sharks right now.

(53:30):
So am I crazy and thinking thatthis could be a really close game?
But I don't know. I don'tknow what is going on with either
of these teams. They should bothbe better. Yeah, yeah, you
would think so, You would definitelythink so. And especially the Ratlers.

(53:50):
Man, you know Kevin Guy,he's kind of built that reputation as the
dynasty coach in this league. Youknow, we kind of got you see,
you see the Nick Sabans and uhin the n C Double A and
the Bill Belichicks in the NFL.I would say Kevin Guy is or has

(54:13):
been that traditionally for the i fL. And you know, I think
we could be witnessing the end ofa dynasty here in the if L.
So this game, in particular,I don't think it's gonna be too much
of an upset. I think thatwe all expect the Ratlers to win,
and I think they will end upwinning Jacksonville. They'd just I kind of

(54:36):
chalked this up for them as likea learning season. Yeah, and again
I will pick the Rattlers. IsI don't have confidence in either of these
teams. I don't like it.In my mind, it really could go
either way. But here, here'sthe biggest disappointment for me right now,
is that the Sharks are the reigningn AL champions. And I know that

(54:58):
every year it's you know, it'sa completely different team, or it can
be a completely different team, Likeokay, we get it, you know,
there's the cliche whatever, But thisis one of those situations where it's
like we've always joked about, oh, we want the champion of this league
to take on the champion of thisleague, or like the worst in this
league, you know, to takethe champion of the XFL and have them

(55:19):
play like the Cleveland Browns or whoeverwas the worst in the NFL that year.
But you get what I'm saying.You know, they always talk about,
you know, you're a champion againstthis guy or this champion against this
champion. So we have the NALreigning champion in the league and they're winless,
and I just feel like there wereso many people for years that have
said that, well, the talentlevel really isn't that different. I think

(55:42):
there's some very talented players that haveplayed and currently play in the NAL.
But what we're seeing from the Sharksand from the Gunslingers is that there is
a difference of collective talent. SoI don't want to hear the people say
anymore that, oh, they're basicallythe same. They're not the same.
Clearly we have the evidence to provethat they are very much not the same.

(56:05):
So hopefully Jax can get it together, hopefully San Antonio can get another
win, but we both like Arizona, so we'll see what happens for them
at home. That brings us toour Week seven finale, And no,
do not just screens, it's notdeja vous. It is in fact,
the Bay Area Panthers at the SanDiego Strikeforce this time, so it was

(56:28):
the battle of undefeated now strike Forcewith one loss. Really, Nick Davis,
this was one of those scenarios wherehe did everything that he could short
of like doing everything on offense.But Bay Area they proved once again why
they are the champs. And so, Malcolm, I'll leave it to you,
who do you like in this one? I see. I was hoping

(56:51):
you wouldn't next, but to choosefirst, this is tough. This is
tough. I've seen before, andI've gone on the record saying hard to
be anything twice, man, especiallya team of these two magnitudes. You
know they're they're two great teams,man, and we saw that this past
weekend. The difference maker in thispast game I think was the defense for

(57:15):
sure for bay Area, especially manAntoine k and Kid is a baller Rich
That boy is crazy, man,He's I think one of the Yeah,
one of the commentators made the perfectcomparison. They said he's a modern day
old school player, meaning that he'slike one of those safeties that don't come
don't mind coming downhill and tackling.Man, he wants to tackle, he

(57:37):
wants to hit, he wants tomake those plays. He's a ball howk
a great guy. Man. Hepicks up that defense to he makes them.
He makes the defense as a wholebetter. And not to mention all
the weapons they have on the offense. Of course, we shall see.
Man, I'm going with bay Areafor sure. All right, So you
like bay Area. This is atough call for me because I really do

(58:00):
feel like it could. It couldgo either way. Now, one thing
to consider is that bay Area Craigdid not have a good game, and
he would be the first to tellyou that he did not have a good
game. And so if you look, that final score was a three point
difference. If Craig is perfect onthe night, I don't know. If
it's that close, they could changea lot of things. Obviously, points

(58:22):
can always change things. But Ijust feel like it was closer than it
should have been all things considered.Felix Harper, Craig having a bad game,
Nate Davis being as on fire ashe's ever been, you know,
I mean, he was doing NateDavis things again. So this one,

(58:43):
if bay Area is like at theirbest, then Panthers win, no doubt.
But San Diego, man, ifthey are at home and can find
that edge and that opportunity to takeit, then obviously I think that they
could really get a win. SoI am I'm going to go with the
strikeforce in this one. I thinkthat the lost last week, it's a

(59:06):
short turnaround, left a really badtaste in their mouth. I'm not taking
anything away from bay Area or theraining champs right now, they're a fantastic
team. They're you know, oneof the best teams in the league right
now, if not the best.But there's something about going back to back
and having it be that close andnow you're on the road and just it's

(59:27):
it's different. You know it.You know you've been there, you've done
that Sioux City. You know it'sit's a short road trip. You've done
it back to back weeks. Butit's different. Every time it's different.
So I will go San Diego andyou will take very areas, so we're
different on three this time, Malcolm, so you don't get to put all
your eggs into one game basket likelast time. But unfortunately that does bring

(59:52):
us to the portion of the showwhere this time okay because I don't know
if it's going to happen. Yeah, and for a while, this time
Malcolm gets to pick my punishment forthe second week in a row. Yes,
sir, yes, sir, allimportant part of the show where Rich,
