Episode Transcript

(00:13):
Sh sh, Hello everyone, andwelcome once again to the one, the

(00:39):
only, the fan show. I'myour host is always the tea Man,
Richard Demon and the Man in theOther Box. Well, there's one every
Fourth of July weekend where they gotthe long stem lighters and they're they're reaching
up really really far away and theylight it and then they take off open
that they're still gonna have all tenfingers at the end of it. He
is father Malc Malcolm McCoy, orshould I say Professor malk Malcolm McCoy.

(01:02):
How you do it, man,I'm doing great. Man, I'm doing
great. You couldn't be more correctabout then the fireworks name me personally,
I'm a sparkling guy. I'd ratherjust, you know what I'm saying,
watch them from a distance. ButI got light them then, yeah,
you know, that was life anddeath for me. So yeah. I
remember being at a Fourth July gatheringwith dan Ja and her family and we

(01:26):
were at a there was a likea bonfire and then people were doing fireworks
off to the side, which seemedlike a really bad combination. So I
go and I give her my phoneand I say, hey, take a
picture like this and she does it, she's like, Okay, what was
that about. I was like,just want to, you know, make
sure that I got record of havingall ten. You know, it might

(01:47):
be the last time you see allten of fun. So so now every
fourth I go, there are allten might be the last time you ever
see I'm you never know. That'scrazy. Oh there was the fireworks thing
we did in Omaha with Coach Jones, and that was crazy. People went

(02:07):
big for those fireworks and we gotfireworks stands all over the place here,
which is weird. Growing up inWashington, there was no fireworks like a
strict band, like you couldn't evenhave them on your person or transport them.
And so to go from there toyou know places like South Dakota,

(02:28):
Nebraska, now Montana, where they'rejust like buy as much as you want.
Same here over here in Maryland.I mean, it's funny because they
say, like I think it's acertain size is illegal, but they still
get all the stands, all thelittle tank of things just posted everywhere.
Man, you know over here,I don't know if it's like this on

(02:51):
your side, but they don't careif it's the fourth they don't care if
it's the seventh Don't Care was thefirst mane they started popping fireworks over I
want to say, like the lastweek of June. So it's been going
on with some time. I'm like, what the hell of mine? But
it is that, I guess.Yeah, yeah, they start early and
they go late here. We heardour first ones last night actually, but

(03:14):
we just know it's gonna be anall week thing. So I don't have
anything festive to wear, so today'sfit like, I don't have anything that's
like America or like, you know, American flag. So I have the
Stump Pilot roller coaster shirt from Silverwoodbecause that's American, I guess. But
my hat though, so this isthe hat the logo of the baseball team

(03:38):
here in Great Falls, the Voyagers, and it's signed by a guy who
would be featured in my first highlightsthat I did for the team as a
reporter, Colin Rungey, and itwas a Grand Slam. Not many times
can you capture a Grand Slam onhighlights locally with the news, So that
was something really cool to have inmy first ever highlight lights. Sent him

(04:00):
the clip. He's got it forhis like highlight real well this week he
now plays in Missoula for the paddleHeads, and he's been blowing up social
because he just had a walk offbase hit for a huge win for them.
So Colin Runggy doing Colin runky things, shout out to my guy down
to Missoula. So today's fit alittle inspired. I mean, there's nothing
more American than baseball and then stuffpilots. I mean, that's you know,

(04:25):
that's America. So America America.There we go, before we get
too far into this episode, wedid want to go ahead and address the
just absolutely horrible and tragic news thatcame out of Northern Arizona the last twenty
four hours. Their defensive coordinator DavidMoran suffered a heart attack the game,

(04:45):
was rushed to the hospital, andthen unfortunately passed away last night. So
we've been following the league all season, gotten to know some NAS players just
had a NAS player on this lastweek, and so our only, our
hearts, thoughts and prayers are withthe team, his family, just the
IFL community as a whole, becausethis is not news that you ever want

(05:08):
to see come across your social mediais so our thoughts are with everybody.
We wanted to get to that topof the show because we don't want it
to interfere with us trying to bringyou guys something a bit more lighthearted and
fun. But it's not something thatwe obviously wanted to ignore by any means.
So, you know, for meand for malk, our thoughts and

(05:29):
prayers are with those in NAZ andwe'll go ahead and have a moment of
silence here on the show for himand his family. All right, So
if you guys know anybody in theNAZ community or with the wranglers, you

(05:50):
know, send him a shout andgive him some love, text somebody you
know virtual hug, or if yousee somebody with the team, give them
an actual hug, because man,you just never know, man. Yeah,
So moving on, though there wasa lot of action in week sixteen,
there are some playoff spots that havebeen claimed after a lot of you

(06:13):
know, who was going to getit or who's going to get one,
and now kind of just the seedingremains. But first, it is a
new month, so that means thatwe get to put something to bed,
no good, bad and funny malcolwhat what do you got? What are
we put into bed from the monthof June Now? That it is July.
Yeah, man, so I don'tknow if you're totally convinced yet.

(06:35):
But one thing that we talked abouta lot since the season started, really
it's a mass mass pirates. Man. We've miss saying that, you know,
they've been kind of skating bad becausethey're easy schedule. I mean,
they don't make the schedule obviously,but we've been saying that they're they're in

(06:55):
a position that they're in because theyhad their opponents haven't been the most challenging.
And you know, while that hascertainly been true in the first half
or I would even say the firstthree quarters of the season, I think
that now we can finally put thatto bed with them having beat Quad City
this past weekend. And of courseQuad City is not like a top contender,

(07:20):
but Quad City had a pretty convincedand went over Green Bay just the
week before. And Green Bay isa team that's pretty well established, and
you know, I mean with thenew additions to Quad City and you know
how they've been playing as of now, I can certainly say that they're a
pretty a pretty solid team for Massachusettsto come out there and get that w

(07:43):
in a situation where they definitely needed. I can certainly say that I'm convinced.
I'm convinced that they may very wellbe a postseason worthy team. So
you know, only time will tell, but I'm personally ready to put that
to bed. I think Mass hasearned my respect. Yeah it is,
you know, you play the schedulein front of you. It's the cliche

(08:05):
or the saying, whatever you wantto call it. And we have been
a bit critical of MASS, andI don't feel like it's been unwarranted.
I mean, we followed the league, We followed the teams very closely.
We watched the games. We maybewatch them two or three times to see,
you know, what happened in thisgame. And for Mass, it
just seemed like they were beating theteams that they were supposed to be.
But when it came time for likethis is a potential playoff contender, I

(08:30):
don't know, it was just adifferent team. And so Quad City this
was one of their bigger wins thatthey got early on in the season.
So for Mass, they needed toget this win just to prove, you
know, like, hey, we'rea different team now. Quad City really
needed to get the win just tohave back to back wins but now they
go back to the back and forththat they've been for I think the last
six or seven weeks now, whichis crazy. But as we mentioned last

(08:50):
episode, it wasn't anything that reallychanged anything the outcome of that game,
which we will get to. Itwas just the potential or the projected number
three versus the projected number four forthe Eastern Conference, So it wasn't like
whoever lost was out and whoever won, and it was just, you know,
could Quad City beat them and potentiallymove up into the third spot with

(09:11):
that tiebreaker, But we'll have towait and see now, So you know,
it's good for us to put thatto bed. For me, mine's
a little bit different. I wentto a comical route here. I'm ready
to put our rivalry with the GreenBay social media team to bed. We've
tried, man, we have,and we try to keep it fun and

(09:33):
lighthearted in all aspects of the show, both with the actual show and then
our you know, banter and behavioron x and Instagram and Facebook, and
I just I want to put itto bed because I almost feel bad because
I just know it's some intern whohas explicit instructions to not interact with anybody
that isn't affiliated with the IFL onan official capacity. I just I just

(09:56):
know it. And so we've tried, We've called them out a few times.
We've tried to make it fun.Obviously, you know the teams that
will go back and forth with QuadCity, even San Diego and the Strikeforce.
You know, Green Bay is justone that apparently, uh will will
not. So I'm gonna put itto bed. I'm sorry. It's been

(10:22):
fun, but I think we've reachedthe point where it's like, if it
hasn't happened by now, it's justnot going to so we can. I
feel like I feel like we're thatone friend that your parents tell you not
to talk to. You know,this is this friend is a bad influence,
whatever the case. I mean,we're pretty cool guys, man.
For some reason we get a badwrap around the around the not so much

(10:46):
the i FL, but other leaguesthat won't be mentioned, you know.
So I I understand it. Iunderstand it. But yeah, for sure
a good one. Where did youlearn that word? Was it? The
fan show? It? Oh?So that was good? And then so

(11:07):
that's our put it to bad.Our go fund me is live, so
for all of you that participated inmalex poll on Instagram. This is your
time to shine. We're looking forthose donations. We have our hotel booked,
which is you know, a booknow, pay later kind of deal.
It's a nice one. It's nottoo bad. It was in between

(11:28):
the price points, so it's notlike we're splurging. But now's the time
to go ahead and cash in onall of those that want to support us.
So the link, we keep resharingit. You can find it in
our Instagram and our stories usually,and then it's on our x or Twitter
page, and then it's of courseon the Facebook page. So if you've
liked us, you should have seenit by now. And then if you're

(11:48):
waiting for payday, perfectly fine.But the link is live and it's receiving
donations now. And then the onelast thing before we get to the headlines
is man like the schedule. Sokind of segue from our trip to Vegas
to this is that we were lookingat hotel prices and the featured or partnered

(12:11):
hotel is the m Resort, andso we went and even with their ten
percent off promo code, we weregoing to be paying like four hundred bucks
a night and their average was likeone thirty five one point fifty a night,
and so I'm like, you gottabe kidding me, Like all that
for the IFL championship game, apparentlythe Raiders and Cowboys play preseason that weekend

(12:31):
as well, so all the hotelstheir prices are bumping up as people start
to make the appropriate arrangements for thattrip. And it just got me thinking.
All the memories that I'm starting tosee come up in Facebook, especially
at the end of June, arefrom other IFL championship games that I've been
to. The season is too long, man, Nineteen weeks is too long,

(12:56):
and to start mid to the endof my mine and go all the
way into August is just it's badfor business because August high school and college
football have started, and NFL withits preseason, and so these players that
you have, you know, ifthey're looking to go to camps for NFL,
you're losing star power possibly, andthen you're losing fans because I'm sorry,

(13:20):
but a fan is probably not goingto choose an IFL game over a
college game, like there's just tiesthere, right, And if their kids
are playing in high school, well, now you've just lost like two or
three butts in your seats, Soit needs to start at the beginning of
March. And I thought maybe theissue was a conflict to schedule with these
teams that share an arena with ahockey team, But my buddy, who

(13:43):
works for the soon to be Indianapolisteam, said that their postseason, like
if they go all seven games intoa championship, would end by June.
So it's clearly not an issue oflike schedule sharing because they have their workarounds.
But the season just needs to startbeginning of March, and it can't
one or two games, like it'sgot to be at least half the league

(14:03):
starting week one and then try tolimit the bye weeks because nineteen weeks is
crazy. Not even the NFL doesthat, and to go into August.
I just think it's gonna hurt morein the long run if you keep the
schedule that way. So that waskind of my little rant that I was
noticing. But I was prompted becauseof my hotel search and I was like,
why is this And I was like, oh God, it's August this

(14:24):
season you used to wrap up atthe end of June. Championship, I
say, the weekend after the fourth, So you give everybody a week off,
go see their families, go lightstuff off, and then that next
weekend championship be done mid July.There you go. Yeah, No,
I certainly can disagree, and Ifeel for the gas even more so,
like you said, who have beenfortunate enough to get that attention from the

(14:48):
NFL, even CFL teams like thatthat are showing them interests because of what
they did. Now, you know, it's just very you have to take
into account the attrition that comes fromseason a nineteen week season. You know,
these guys are playing in order toget garner that attention from the NFL

(15:11):
and things like that, and youknow, if they do are lucky enough
to get that call, it's veryunlikely that you'll be able to go in
the camp for these you know,tryouts, whatever the case is, at
your best because you've been playing forso long. It's just it's a lot
that goes into it. But Icouldn't agree more honestly. Yeah, And

(15:33):
I know that for years the IFLboasted that it was a developmental league.
It seems like it's kind of gottenaway from that with its branding and marketing
over recent years, but even still, like, Okay, for argument's sake,
it's a developmental league. It's greatthat guys get the call up,
but when your championship is in August, that's when the fans, the season

(15:54):
ticket holders, and the people thatare going to buy tickets to that championship
want to see the star players.And if those guys have gotten called the
NFL camps, like I mean,I mean, I mean, what do
you do in that point? Youknow? So that's that's my whole thing.
That's my little rant and soapbox.It's just too long of a season,
man. So moving on, areWeek sixteen IFL headlines are as follows.

(16:21):
Frisco over San Antonio fifty eight fiftyseven. This was an important game,
non conference, but Frisco obviously neededto win to keep pace with Green
Bay, which they did. SanAntonio was playing for their postseason lives,
and it's unfortunate to hear that theymay not make the playoffs. Like I
think this was the one that ifthey want it, they're still in it.

(16:42):
But if they lost their out,I'm not saying they're I think they're
mathematically still in it, but inmy mind, they're out. This was
a game they needed to win.This thing was a freaking shootout by every
sense of the word. So basicallythe first half you had, you know,
Risco is playing clock management. Theytook up half of the first quarter

(17:06):
and then scored, and then Castronovaand that high powered offense takes two minutes
off the clock to answer and scoreand then they get a deuce, so
now they're ahead. Actually, butRisco didn't flinch. I mean they went
back and forth, and by halftimeyou were like, this is going to
be one of those games where whoeverhas the ball last is probably going to
win this. And so what's crazyis that there was one turnover and that

(17:29):
was in the fourth very uncharacteristic Castronovainterception. But you know, they went
and they scored. They had theball back with less than two minutes to
go, had the one minute warning, and then they scored with eighteen seconds
left. So I feel like Frisco'sgame plan was, we know that we're
not going to stop him, butmaybe we can slow him down. And

(17:52):
not even in a way of likeyour defense slowing down Castronova and that offense.
I think it was like, ifwe can keep them off the field,
for long enough, then we canmaybe swing this thing in our favor.
Because never once in the entire gamedid Frisco rush to score like they
It was tactical, it was verymethodical, well thought out. And I'm

(18:12):
just watching this and I'm just like, man, for every like seven minutes
that Frisco takes off the clock,that's like a possession or three less for
San Antonio and the Gunslingers because itwas only taking Castronova like two minutes to
score, Like It's ridiculous. Sothe whole game, Frisco has not been

(18:33):
like san Antonio where it's like wecan score like that, you know,
on command. But yet eighteen secondsthey end up scoring a walk off touchdown
with four seconds left in the gameas time expired. And so it was
just crazy to see Frisco play thegame like that for fifty nine and three
quarter minutes and then that last eighteenseconds they're like, we need to score,

(18:59):
Okay, here we go. Soedwards to Blackman, Cole Blackman.
You can see that play that highlighton the fans shows, Instagram, Facebook
and Twitter pages. But man,a heartbreaker for san Antonio because it's like
what else can you do? ButFrisco played them the way that you would
have to play San Antonio and thatoffense. It's not about, you know,

(19:23):
scoring more, it's just about controllinghow much they score and then get
the turnover. Great, but manto have the ball last and to score
like that. Frisco really earned alot of respect for me as far as
like this is a real deal teamthat's going to be dangerous come the postseason.
Yeah. Yeah, I can definitelyagree my high school coaches to say

(19:48):
all the time, if you controlthe ball, you control the game.
Really, so, I mean,that's all. It's about clock management,
knowing where you are possession wise,and just playing around it. And that's
why I love the game of football, especially indoor, because even more so
than an outdoor game, it's likea cerebral game. It's a chess match.

(20:10):
So you have to plan your yourdrives accordingly. You can in certain
cases you can't score too fast oryou're giving the opposing team some lead way
to get back in the league,or you know, sometimes you have to
score super fast so that you're you'reputting your your defense or offense in a
better position to make a stop orput more points on the board. So

(20:32):
I mean that game definitely epitomized thatentire idealism, so it was it was
really cool to watch for sure.Yeah, and the two headed monster that
is Ranking and Carter for Frisco wasridiculous because they did it on the ground
as well, and that's usually Edward'sdoing it by himself, and now there's
three of them that can do iton the ground. So they controlled the

(20:55):
line of screamage, they controlled theclock, and then at the end they
controlled the ball. So Frisco justdid like that's playoff football, that is
that is pro season football that theydid right there. And I shout out
Royce c and Ricky Wyatt. Iknow you've mentioned Ricky before on other episodes.
Roy C, though, needs ahuge shout out and a lot of
credit. He hasn't really been inthe conversation very much over the course of

(21:18):
the season, but he steps up, like in those moments where it's like
you need to play. He wasthe one that got that interception and he's
he's just he's a really good goodplayer. Yeah, a lot of times
he's been overshadowed by Charles Williams onthat defense. I know he's the veteran,
and he's normally the go to playmaker, especially being on that D line.

(21:38):
It's not a lot of people whocan contain him. But I've been
I've been watching Roy c I'm aI'm a huge fan of linebacker play,
great linebacker play, me being alinebacker, so so I've been watching him
for sure, and not always,like you said, not always the center
of attention, but definitely been playingconsistently this entire season. I mean,

(22:00):
it's good to see him making playslike that when it matter. Yeah,
here's how crazy their rushing attack was. Just if you want the numbers to
put it in perspective, So youhad Carter Rankin and Edwards fourteen attempts,
eleven attempts, seventeen attempts, seventynine yards, sixty four yards, sixty
three yards each one had two touchdowns. Like that is that is a balanced

(22:22):
attack. And Edwards only had twotouchdowns through the air. I mean,
that is just that's ridiculous. Thatis crazy. Good groundwork by Frisco.
So Frisco, they've locked up aplayoff spot. San Antonio unfortunately, I
think may find themselves on the outsidelooking in this season. But still hell
of a job by them their firstyear in the IFL. Also, though,

(22:47):
I think Castronova is going to bebumped from MVP consideration too offensive.
Player of the Year strictly, I'dhate to say it, but it's such
a thing now where you need thatpostseason birth to be in the conversation.
But man, what a season he'shad. It's not even over yet.
So that was that game, thebig one. I like the game,

(23:08):
crazy game. If you missed it, go back and rewatch it. It's
still worth it. Green Bay overTulsa fifty four to twenty. We kind
of thought maybe Tulsa would really bringit, but Green Bay I think they're
just they're in a mode right now. They secure a home playoff game with
that when Oilers are not mathematically out. But I think, you know,

(23:30):
just like I said with San Antonio, they needed to win this game in
order to still be in it.I think Tulsa might be out, but
they're only a game behind Quad Cityafter that Quad City loss, so you
know, we'll see what happens there. But still a few weeks left.
Bay Area over Vegas thirty seven thirtyfive Panthers have clinched the only spot in

(23:52):
the postseason for the Western Conference.That's how chaotic it is right now.
It was ugly, and I don'tmean sloppy, like sloppy is you know,
you drop passes, you fumble theball, you're overthrowing receivers, missing
tackles, things like that. Thiswas ugly because the whole first half was
just like penalty after penalty after penalty, like it was such a slow moving
first quarter. I was like,how are we not even into the second

(24:15):
quarter yet? But I did saythough, that Bay Area when it came
to these opponents of the caliber likein Arizona, of Vegas, the San
Diego, that they just tend tolike turn it on and they did for
a while. It was I thinktwenty eight to six at one point and
somehow ended thirty seven thirty five.So I don't know what Bay Areas doing

(24:37):
let in a Vegas hang around thatmuch. But props to Vegas for fighting
back. That was huge. Butit did come down to special teams.
A missed field goal to potentially winit, and it went wide left and
that's Messias who had a walk offgame winner earlier in the season. So
it's just crazy that we're still,you know, seeing these games is won

(25:00):
and lost by a single play likethat that you think they'd be dialed in.
But I do think the ref icedhim on accident. He had to
like reset the ball after he didhis whole walk back and approach, and
then the ref comes running in there, and I thought somebody called time out,
but no, he had to likereset the ball or something. I
was like, dude, the refjust iced him. Sure enough, misses

(25:21):
it. But Bay Area locks upthe one and only playoff spot in the
West right now, So there's stillVegas, San Diego, Arizona and NAZ
in the thick of it. Andthat leads us to the other big game
of the weekend. Malcolm's got thebreakdown for San Diego and Northern Arizona.

(25:41):
Yeah, yeah, for sure,and definitely I fun want to watch.
I mean, I would say abig game is an understatement for that one.
Certainly one that both teams would haveliked to come out with the victory,
of course, but man, itwas just it was a you wait
about to say the least. Man. I think when they first came out,

(26:03):
you know, NAS started off withthe jumping forward with the with the
score differential. I want to sayyou know, of course you got your
heavy hitters on that and get RZmccorker, you know, Maldonado, Josh
Jones of course has been doing thisthing all season. Uh. They they
started off, like I said,started off on fire early, but then

(26:26):
San Diego they started catching fire.It was it was a blow for blow
about I would say, up untilthe last minute of the first half,
in which case Arthur Jackson went aheadand and took the lead at the at
the end of the half with thetouchdown pass. From there, I think
I was the second of the gameat that point, and you know,

(26:49):
NAS tried to combat it, youknow, come back with it. I
want to say, it was likeless than a minute on the clock,
but they ended up throwing an interception. Keishawn Walker, definitely a big player
for them for San Diego this entireseason, showed up big with that interception
to kind of keep them at bay. Coming out of the have Arthur Jackson

(27:10):
came out with another touchdown. Theyput them even further ahead, and from
there it seemed like NAS it reallycouldn't recover. They did, and nothing
taken away from their offense at all. They stayed within reach, but from
that point, they always had toplay from behind, which is not a
good position for them. And alsoI got to give credit to their defense.
You know, they've been they wereplaying pretty lights out. You know.

(27:36):
I would say Schamar Morland who hadthat interception for to seal the game.
Last week, he had another interception, I want to say he caught
one of two interceptions that Nate Davisended up throwing. But all in all
end up kind of being to noavail. Yeah, and obviously NAS is
going to be playing for something alittle bit more than just wins and losses.

(27:56):
With the passing of their DC.Yeah, you wonder if that kind
of factored instance. It happened Ithink during in the game, But props
to them for finishing strong. Obviouslythey've got, you know, some stuff
mentally emotionally to deal with, andit's it's you know, short week one
week to the next. So wewish NAS the best and the remainder of

(28:19):
their season. As for that performanceby Arthur Jackson, the third ten receptions,
one hundred and forty seven yards,six touchdowns. So for notable performances
from the week, that's it.That's the list. Jackson man like ridiculous
so San Diego very much in controlof their own destinies still right now,

(28:45):
big win that they needed, sanAntonio likely out of it, NAS now
playing for their postseason lives with onlya few weeks left. Other scores around
the league. Jack's over SAF thirtysix to twenty eight. Both teams likely
out of it for all intents andpurposes. A sef I think we thought
maybe had a little glimmer of hope, but this one I most certainly put

(29:07):
that to rest. DC over Tucsonforty two. Wow. DC gets its
second one of the season. Bothhave come at the expense of the Sugar
Skulls. We've seen that a fewtimes this season. Jackson Tulsa another one,
but crazy that they still at thispoint in the season. Are are
fighting so good for the Gladiators.Remember how high we were on Malik Mitchell.

(29:33):
He was in the chat of thatgame talking about how Tucson doesn't pay
their players and that he left theteam after not being paid for like twelve
weeks. So I reached out tomy sources with with Tucson and they're like,
they've been paid, Like they've beenpaid, that they're those guys are
characters, So I hate that kindof thing at this level, but it
happens. So you and I thinkwe're both wondering, like where is Mitchell,

(29:59):
Like where's he been? So Iguess that kind of more or less
answers that he left. So Arizonaover Iowa, we all expected that fifty
five to twenty six. And thenMass over Quad City fifty two thirty five.
Man, I feel so bad forDunk. They kept throwing at him.
I don't know why, but thisone, yeah, Mass had it

(30:22):
from the start, foot on thegas didn't let off. So Mass clinches
a playoff spot. So as faras the playoff picture right now, the
West Bay area in the list forthe East, though Green Bay they've also
locked up at least one home playoffgame. They have to see how Frisco
finishes out in order to see ifthe road to the championship truly does go

(30:45):
through Green Bay and Title Town.So Frisco has now locked up their spot
in the East, and then Masshas now officially locked up their spot.
So in the mix for the East, Quad City, Tulsa, you could
maybe throw in Iowa, but Ithink those are the only two teams really
left in the mix. You know, we look at the standings and like

(31:07):
I said, Tulsa one game behindQuad City man died. They need that
win, but there Iowa's one gamebehind Tulsa, you know at four and
nine. In the West though,you have Vegas at nine and four,
San Diego at nine and five,Arizona nine and five, naz eight and
five, San Antonio six and seven. So I just don't think you like,
if you're San Antonio, you haveto hope that the whole rest of

(31:30):
the conference basically loses, you know, twice in order to get back in
the mix of things. So thatis our look at where we are going
into week seventeen. That's our recapfor week sixteen. So there's still so
much left to be determined, whichis the craziest part of where we are

(31:51):
this season. With still three weeksleft to play, obviously there's a few
more teams that will get one lastbuy some of those records. You're like,
that doesn't make sense, nine four, ones, nine and five.
Yes, teams still need to finishup there their bye weeks. What better
time, right? Some of themare probably like, finally we get another
bye week. So that is aweek number sixteen and Uh, it's great

(32:15):
that we had a notable performance,just one on the list because that happens
to be the one that we roundedup for our special guest spot today.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen,a great get for the fans show on
this episode. He is one ofthe hottest members of the San Diego Strike

(32:36):
Force. Might as well rename itthe San Diego six Force, or he
can rename himself Arthur Jackson the six, but it is Arthur Jackson the Third
coming off a six touchdown performance.Welcome to the show, my man.
How you doing doing good? Howabout you? So I'm doing great?
Man? Uh? Six touchdowns isa wide receiver. That is crazy.

(32:58):
You were feeling it so you guys. Obviously getting the win is a huge
part of it, which helps you, guys control your own postseason destiny and
now you know, you guys areonto another week, but the competition still
heated overall. How you feeling rightnow at this point in the season,
We're feeling good. I mean,we won three of our last four games.

(33:20):
We're catching fire at the right time. Everyone's playing well in Unison and
we feel like we're getting ready totake this down the home stretch. Yeah,
man, you know, we brokedown a few weeks ago. The
remaining stretch. I think it waslike six games apiece for you guys.
We picked three teams from the West, three teams from the East, San
Diego, Arizona, and San Antonio. And I thought, you know,

(33:45):
if San Antonio came out and gotthree wins in a row, that they
could probably be the one because youguys and Malcol and I talked about it.
It was a gauntlet of a stretchand you played Bear Area not once
but twice in that stretch, andI said, they got to get at
least one. Malcol he believed inyou guys. Guys were his pick to
you know, run the gauntlet andget one of those playoff spots. So,

(34:07):
I mean, how crazy has itbeen for you guys and just trying
to keep your calm collective selves asyou you know, go on to the
next game on the schedule. Well, we never feel like we're not the
best team on the field. We'venever played a game where we felt like
we've been beaten. We feel likewe've made our own mistakes and they kind
of get in our own way.So we feel like as long as we

(34:28):
take care of ourselves. There's nobodythat can get us so like this these
games. Winning these games is theproduct of coming together as a team and
handling our own business man spoken likea true veteran player, Malk, I
know that you love that, soI'll let you take over the next question
here for our special guest, ArthurJackson, the third Yeah, for sure,

(34:51):
for sure. And it's like,like what he said is kind of
perfectly segued into my question. Iwant to start off with some questions about
the team and kind of narrow withthat on to you as a player and
some of you guys personnel. Firstoff, I've said the richer number of
times that it seems that it isbarely a drop all from like your first,

(35:12):
second, and third team, ifyou would even call it that.
I don't know if you guys considerit like a first, second, and
third string, but the skill leveljust seems to be constant all throughout.
Would you attribute that to like thisgreat coaching or do you guys just have
like dogs just all around? Imean I attribute that to our whole offensive
scheme. I mean, from topto bottom, we have great coaching.

(35:34):
We put great schemes in place everyweek, and we got a bunch of
dogs that go out there and produce. It don't matter who you plug and
play. We got dogs all downthe line. I mean that comes from
from from camp being hard. Imean our camp wasn't easy, like we
had. It took all the wayuntil after our first game to even make
our have our full team together.So I mean camp was a gauntlet just

(35:55):
just coming out of it. Makingthe teams. Having dogs all down the
lineup is a given when win thecampus like that. So that's it and
it shows too. It shows becauseI mean y'all, y'all have like I
say, I got gas. Wecould play multiple positions on offense and defense
at a high level. And I'mjust I just been watching. I'm a
fan of your game for sure,but I definitely got to ask you personally.

(36:19):
I noticed, I forget how manyweeks ago it was who you'a were
playing in particular, but a commentatorsaid something about your route running ability and
how you just like have a knackof finding windows getting open. I think
he even said, like it's kindof unconventional, But I was like,
no, you know that's that's that'sa receiver right there. You know,
he's not running routes in the coverage. You know, like say you have

(36:40):
a slang or a dig or something, You're not running into coverage. You're
finding windows, You're finding ways tohelp your quarterback. Do you have somebody
who you kind of model your youryour game after, like in the NFL
or any lead for that matter.So, I mean growing up, I
really didn't get with any trainers untilI would say, junior. So I

(37:00):
would watch guys like Chad Johnson,Larry Fitzgerald, just guys that weren't the
biggest, strongest, fastest guys,but always seemed to be in the right
spot, always seemed to have theball in their hands, always seem to
be open, and uh even ifthey weren't open at the point of attack,
just being real strong with the ball. Guys like that, like Hines
Ward was the guy I like towatch. I like, I love watching

(37:22):
Steve Smith. So guys like thatthat was just dogs and always open and
you know, good footwork and thetechnique. I just love watching football,
you know, guys like that.Johnson was was my main guy that I
watched. Like I said, yourability, it's like I alould say,

(37:42):
the best in the I fl honestly, bro, And that's not you wouldn't
be you wouldn't be wrong. Youwouldn't be wrong that you say that.
You just that's the right answer.But another thing that was kind of on
my mind, uh, your quarterback Nate Davis. I played. I
played on the same team as Nateback in the Dude City. Of course,

(38:06):
I was a defensive guy, soI didn't you know, get is
in depth with him as far aslike the game plan is you you have,
But yeah, I know he's avery very detailed oriented guy. Like
he's very particular about, you know, how you stem your rounds, where
you break, like exactly the exactyarded and stuff like that. When exactly

(38:29):
did y'all start to click? Iwould say early on the camp it was.
It was one of those things whereI think my game in his game
just sort of came together beautifully.I'm someone who likes to have the ball
in space and route running concepts,and you know, I like, I
like running routes, really running routes, and he was the guy that will

(38:50):
get you that ball in that spotwhen you're open, even if you're not,
he'll give you a chance. AndI think I've shown to be someone
who makes something happen when I'm notnecessarily open on the time, just getting
opportunities and just being somebody that getsopen. And Nate will find you,
so that's never been a problem withhim. He will find when you're open,
So it makes it easy. Isee, I see it so well.

(39:15):
I mean, that's that's all Igot. Man, I'm tapped out,
bro. I appreciate you if it'sso rich. Anything else with you?
Well, I was going to askbecause Malcolm and I have talked about
when like Nate has an eight touchdownperformance through the air still won the game.
But I was like, you know, if you're him and you lose
that, like it's literally like whatelse could you have done? So when

(39:35):
you have a six touchdown performance andyou guys, you know, God forbid,
you wouldn't have gotten that win.I mean, is there just kind
of a moment where you're like,we better get this win because I don't
know what else I can personally doout here on this offense. Oh no,
no, I don't worry about that. That six touchdowns is a product
of the offense running fluidly. Imean, everybody's doing their job. I

(39:58):
can't do that unless offensive line isblocking. Nate's doing his job. That
other receivers are running the route andgetting me open, and the defense is
making their stop. So I don'tworry about winning. I don't have to
worry about the Defensi's job because theymake their plays. That's the best defense
in the league. So I justhave to do my job. And that
was easy. He made it lookeasy. He does his job well,

(40:19):
Malk very well. Yeah. There'sa lot of talk about that dog on
here, and I think for me, it's probably a Labridoodle or maybe a
Collie that I got in me,I know, from Malcolm to sheso so
so what what dog you got inyou? Arthur? I'm probably a Doberman.
My girl likes Doman, so I'mprobably a Hey there you go.

(40:45):
Well, you know, guys,you guys obviously getting big wins here down
the stretch when you need to.But man, you are in a literal
dog fight in the West. Sonow you guys set your sights to the
next week and and what coaches messagebeen like to you guys as you've gotten
into this, you know, thescenarios and the possible tiebreakers, like what's

(41:07):
the focus and what's the message.Well, we don't really get into that.
We just kind of focus on winningeach game. We going to practice
the same way, you know,focus on getting our bodies right, practicing
good and studying our opponent and makingsure we handle our business. Like I
said earlier, whoever we face inthis, whichever scenario, however it plans

(41:30):
out, they still have to lineup and play versua. So we don't
really worry too much about scenarios orother teams. We focus on us.
This is probably one of the mostentertaining stretches of the last part of the
season for any IFL season that I'veever witnessed. So you guys to be
a part of that and in themix. It's been great to watch you

(41:51):
all season long. Has been soamazing, you know, so entertaining to
you guys on that offense. Here'sa question I'll put out there for you.
You know, as a Niners fan, a lot of people talk about
how, well, yeah, JoeMontana was great because he was throwing to
Jerry Rice, And then people wouldbe like, well, Jerry was great
because he had Joe throwing to him. You're in this offense with Nate Davis

(42:12):
and you're putting up, you know, touchdowns all season long. You just
had a six touchdown performance. Sowhen it comes to a conversation like that,
what's your response, Like, isit something that you guys just have
to develop as a rapport between eachother, or is it really having a
guy like Nate Davis throw to youthat's helping you have a phenomenal season.
I think having someone like Nate Davisand having his experience always helps. And

(42:36):
then having someone like me who's meit helps as well, you know,
and then having a full offensive guyslike Jordan Cresh, like Lily, like
Rudy Johnson, like those guys makeit so easy for us to do our
thing, and everybody's doing everything.I think Jordan Crest is top five in
the league. I mean Ludy everygame he comes in, he takes two

(42:58):
or three off the board. Imean Lily stop him on kickoff return.
You can't stop him in the slot, so it ain't really too much.
I mean Cox come off the benchto take care of business and forcing fumbles
on kick off. Like, wegot a bunch of guys that just take
care of a lot of things thatmake our team go now, because I
feel like that was kind of aroundabout way of saying, like Nate's good,

(43:19):
but we all make him look reallygood. Like they don't need no
help make they don't need no helplooking really good, trust me. But
that's why we the best offense inthe league. Though. Oh man,
you guys have been absolutely so entertainingto watch all season long, and it's
going to be a great finish tothe season, especially in that Western Conference.

(43:39):
So you guys, for the cityof San Diego, how's the support
been in what would you know postseasonbirth and a run to the championship mean
for you guys and for your fansall season, I think the city of
San Diego would rally behind us.I mean, we're the only football team
in the city. Sad to seethe Chargers lead for them, but I
think if they show up and showout the way they've been all season,

(44:00):
we're gonna have the change of rockingcome play off time. Thank you so
much for your time and we wishyou the best of luck the rest of
the season, safe travels for yourremaining road games. But man, a
strong finish for you guys. LikeI said, so much fun to watch
don't stop now because it's been justawesome. Me and Mil talk about you
guys every single week, and wefinally got you here to sit with us

(44:22):
on a call for the show.So we thank you so much for your
time. Man. I appreciate youguys thinking about me and invite me on
the show. And good luck toyou guys. All right. Well,
he is one of the hottest membersof the San Diego Strike Force or should
we say San Diego six Force,coming off a six touchdown performance. I
think we've officially said that six timesnow, so we've met our quote up

(44:45):
for each time. He is ArthurJackson the Third, And thank you so
much again man. We'll talk toyou later on the season, all right,
talk to you so all right,And one more big thank you and
shout out to Arthur Jackson the Thirdfor being our special on this episode four
hundred and ninety four of the FansShow. The number might not mean a
lot, but that guest man,what a get for the show. We've

(45:07):
been trying to get him for likehalf the season and we get him after
a monumental performance on the field.Wow. Yeah, I can't say enough
about that guy. San Diego isturning it up to eleven on the field,
So that brings us to our pickumportion and Malcolm he is back in
the loss call it was. I'msure it was nice, man. I

(45:35):
have to know if I can goback to picking Quad City or of me
talking them up too much before pickingMass at the last second still kind of
screwed up the uh you know,the balance of the universe. I don't
know. We'll see, but wehave we have pick him. I have
a very suitable punishment for mel It'llbe good. And as far as my

(45:58):
punishment for like one, he's stillwas me a workout hype video too,
T shirt slash jersey swap with somebodylike, Okay, you gotta work with
me here. It will get done. But it was not gonna happen in
a week's time. It just wasn't. So hey, you got some grades,
man, you got some grades.Like you said, that's still you

(46:19):
want, so I can't be toomad about it. All right, So
pick the week seventeen. This isthe week that I think we're going to
see a lot come into focus,a few more teams probably locking up their
playoff spots. Seating though will stillbe up for grabs, But this is
going to be that week that wetalk about as far as like this is
when it all became very clear whowas in and who was outs. First

(46:39):
up, no games Friday, allright, so another Super Saturday. Probably.
We have the Massachusetts Pirates, whohave just recently locked up their playoff
spot seating still to be determined,taking on the San Antonio gun Slingers,
who after last week's tragic loss tothe Frisco Fighters at home. I don't

(47:00):
know they're playing for pride if they'replaying still, because mathematically they're in it
and if you win, others lose. I don't know, but yeah,
this is one where I feel likeSan Antonio will win. But what would
does that do for them? Idon't know. Because mass we've seen all
the teams that have locked up playoffspots kind of have like that next game

(47:22):
is kind of like a regress,and so I don't think it's going to
be any different with mass especially SanAntonio at home in front of their fans.
I think this might be their lasthome game in the season, so
I want to give them a goodperformance, and they're still you know,
in their mind, they're probably stillin it, So why not win.
So I'm going to go with theGunslingers to get it done at home against

(47:43):
Mass. I agree with you onthat, Rich. I feel like,
if I know coach Minas like Ithink I do, he's he's very stern,
but he's an optimist for sure,and if there is a small sliver
of hope that they can still makeit, I know he's gonna cling on

(48:05):
at a and emphasize that to hisplayer. So at this point, for
all their well as far as they'reconcerned, they're still playing for their postseason
fate. So I know that well, I think that they'll you know,
win, especially at home, youknow. All right, So we both
like the gun Slingers. It makessense. I mean Mass could you know,

(48:28):
be like we're preparing to go deepin the postseason. So this is
a game that's gonna test us.You never know, it could be but
I think Green Bay, I thinkFrisco. We've both seen you know,
lock up playoff spots and then thenext game it was like, okay,
you know, but we'll see withthis one. So the next Saturday game,
Suit fall Storm at the Quad Citysteam Wheelers. So this one,

(48:54):
I can't stress this enough. QuadCity needs to win just for post and
if you go based on the pattern, this is one that they should win
based on the back forth win lastwin, loss, win loss. I've
been told that there's been some changing, some shuffling on the roster for Sue
Falls. So what that means asfar as their performance, I don't know.

(49:15):
But obviously they understand that they're nolonger in the mix. So this
is Quad Cities for the taking.I don't know if I'm allowed to pick
them yet, so I guess,just the error on the side of caution,
I will pick this. Oh god, this is an impossible spot for

(49:36):
me to be put in. Ijust realized that, Hey, you know
what, that's not fair. Okay. I picked against Quad City this last
week. They still lost. Iwas very clear about my pick posted my
pigs, So I don't think I'mthe problem anymore. I am going to
pick Quad City. They can getit as mad at me as they want,

(50:00):
but I don't have it. Ihave to pick Quad City, and
its just I catched in my suitFalls pick already. So sorry. I'm
not sorry, steam Wheelers, Butokay, I did my end of things
last week, and we saw howthat turned out. So I feel like
whatever curse there was was lifted andI can go back to picking who I

(50:21):
want to pick. I want topick Quad City, so I'm picking Steam
Wheelers. Rich curse has been lifted. I gotta tell you, man,
dunk Oh, shut out and leaveDuncan. He responded to my story on
Instagram when, uh you know Iposted our picks last week and uh you

(50:43):
know he is as close as youguys all. He was upset that you
picked against him. He was like, man, I'm gonna take it home
for you, bro. I waslike, so rich, so rich was
going on. So I definitely agreewith you on this one. Quad City
definitely is the better team in asituation. It's not really much to say

(51:05):
there. I just it's I thinktheir play speaks for it. So so
both taking Quad City. So thenext game, and I realized that I
just picked twice in a row.First, My bad. So we'll leave
it to mouth to pick this nextone. First. It's the Jacksonville Sharks
on the road against the Iowa Barnstormers. I don't know how you pick this
one. I guess it's whatever's logoyou like more. Maybe that might be

(51:30):
it. That might be it inthis case. Is uh with with players
I like more, you know,I get love for both Jackson, but
I'm gonna have to go with Jacksonthis one. I think they're still how
off of that that's super balls victoryand we both know that either team is
really playing for much of anything atthis point. But uh, you know,

(51:52):
it's always nice to add a fewmore plays to your highlight tape and
you know, just leave out withwell close out with a bang. So
I think jacks is we'll take homeagainst Iowa. For those that don't know,
and the shout out to those IFLhistorians, this matchup goes way back.
These are two o G Arena footballteams, Iowa Barnstormers, Jacksonville Shark,

(52:15):
so it's good to see them playingagainst each other after such a long
time apart. However, I'm notsaying I like either his logo better than
the other, but I will gowith Iowa in this one, all right,
So we're different there. Next game, this one is probably going to
be circled by a lot because itwill make the postseason for the Western Conference

(52:38):
a little bit more clearer. Andthat is when the Vegas Nighthawks go into
San Diego to take on the StrikeForce. Vegas coming off tough loss,
san Diego coming off a big win, Malc, I'll let you go ahead
and pick this one first. Forsure, for sure, I'll say you

(52:59):
ought a pretense. Just go aheadand say, I think San Diego this
one for sure. It's uh inno knock against Vegas at all. They
like you said, they are comingoff a pretty devastating loss. But even
more so than that, I feellike San Diego is just playing some great
football man. Really like it's they'reclicking on all Cylindre's. I want to

(53:22):
say, for the most part there, if I'm not mistaken, I think
they're one hundred percent healthy. Idon't think they have any major key players
that aren't playing right now. Ijust saw actually that they have a dexter
Reefs back there again at that safetyspot, very cerebral aspect to well,

(53:43):
very cerebral addition to the defense.And they're just they're just lying all the
way down in every position with playerswho can make plays and have made plays.
So I mean, it's not reallymuch I can I can count against
them in this game. Thing.They'll take it home pretty pretty convincingly too.

(54:04):
Well, I agree San Diego.I think they're just two potent on
offense. I mean, okay,obviously Arthur Jackson's not gonna have six touchdowns
every single game. But it's likewe talked about that game where you know,
if NAZ found themselves chasing points againsta team like San Diego, it
wasn't gonna end well for them.And so I know that Vegas does not

(54:30):
chase points. Well. They broughtit within I think eight against Bay Area
and then they brought it within likethree at one point, but that was
bay Area's game to lose. Whenyou're up twenty eight to six, I
don't know what you're doing, youknow, letting a team like Vegas hang
around. So but you know,bay Areas still got the win. But

(54:52):
Vegas, I think would have torely on just too much going wrong with
San Diego as opposed to things goingright for the them. So I'm gonna
pick San Diego to keep it rolling. I mean, at this point,
how can you say that they're nota team to beat in that conference with
their They're still running that gauntlet,they're still getting it done. So that's

(55:13):
my pick, and that's going tomake things complicated for Vegas, so we
both like San Diego. That'll doit for Saturday. For Sunday, we
have the Frisco Fighters taking on theDuke City Gladiators. Duke City coming off
of its second win of the season. Frisco just locked up its playoff spot
and so now they're looking to geta home playoff game and possibly the road

(55:35):
did the championship going through Frisco.So I don't think they let off the
gas yet. I've cashed in myDuke City pick and it paid off pretty
well. They're still going to playthem all four quarters because Duke City showed
me a lot of fight in thatTucson game this last week. But I
will pick Frisco to get it donethis week and keep pace with Green Bay.

(55:58):
Yeah. Episode, and I'm definitelygonna have with you on that.
In Duke City. Like you said, I don't know if it's the coaching
change. I don't know if it'sjust the culture over there, but they
certainly will play you all four quarters. They're gonna play hard, they're gonna
you know, they're gonna talk theirtalk. They're not gonna lay down for
anybody, especially not for Frisco.I know how much of it. It

(56:20):
may be like a one sided rivalry, but when I was over there in
Duke City, one team that theyhate losing against is Frisco. But unfortunately
for them, I don't think theyhave the weapons to help it. So
Frisco for sure is gonna take ithome. All right. So the next
Sunday matchup, this one's gonna bevery interesting and huge postseason implications. We've

(56:45):
got the Northern Arizona Wranglers in bayArea to take on the Panthers, who
are the lone postseason ticket punched forthe Western Conference. So malcould you like
this one? Like you just mentioned, bay Area has already solidified their playoff
birth, so I think they're gonnalet up just a little bit, not

(57:08):
so much so that it won't bea great game, but I think that
is just a little more hungry thanthey are at this point in time.
So I'm gonna go against the grainwith this one and go ahead and run
with Northern Arizona. Yeah, NASgonna be high emotions. They're not going
to be at home, They're gonnabe on the road. But I think

(57:30):
this is going to be one ofthose games where they're playing for more than
just a win and a playoff spot. So yeah, I think NAS goes
in and gets it done. Ithink it's going to be more of what
they do and less about if bayArea is a little bit more relaxed,
because I don't really think bay Areais the kind of team to relax.

(57:50):
Their playoff spot secured, yes,but there's still not the number one seed.
This win would do it, obviously, but I think they're gonna have
to wait one more week to lockthat up. So we like NAS to
get it done on the road,and that will bring us to our Week
seventeen finale. We've got the TucsonSugar Skulls taking on the Arizona Rattlers.

(58:13):
I need I need a minute tothink here, if there's any reason that
I could logically pick Tucson to winthis game? Oh man, you hate
the Rattlers. Wouldn't it be justpoetic for Tucson to come in and just

(58:36):
wreck Arizona when San Antonio just lostand Vegas and Vegas just lost because right
now Arizona is the four seed.Man. No, that's that's just that's
too much good for one week.That's too much good. We can't have
too much good on a holiday weekend, So I'll pick Arizona. It's so

(59:01):
funny. It's like, whenever youfigure Arizona, it's like I can just
see the pain in your face,man, taking everything in you. No,
I mean, I think that's theobvious answer. The Tucson they're they're
certainly not doing as good as I'msure they hope to do this this season,
and especially having lost some key players, they're at a point where they're

(59:25):
still trying to figure out what's goingon. And honestly, I think they're
really trying to figure out what's goingon for the following season. So yeah,
Arizona's going to prove why they currentlyhave a playoffs but and you know,
take it to them. So Idon't think it's any I don't think
it's any question here, all right. So I think we're different on one.

(59:46):
So we're back to one and doneweek. We'll see what happens for
our pickums and our punishments, SoMalcolm's punishments. You know. I was
reminded of that time that I madea bet Seahawks forty nine ers with a
buddy of mine back then. Wewent and watched the game in the local

(01:00:07):
sports bar. And the deal waswhoever lost had to get up in front
of the bar and declare the otherteam just awesome and why they're so awesome,
and so obviously, both being diehardfans of the opposing teams, were
just like, this is going tosuck whoever loses. So forty nine Ers
lose. Sunday night football, packedhouse. I get up on a bar

(01:00:29):
stool, get everyone's attention, andDangel was there. This was like one
of our first dates, so shewas there, she witnessed it, and
I declare how awesome the Seahawks areand how much forty nine ers or not
are an inferior team, and blahblah blah blah blah. And first my
buddy says, man, I can'tbelieve you did it because I wouldn't have.

(01:00:49):
And I'm like, don't make bets, like, don't make bets a
whole. And so then I getlike three or four people coming up to
me saying, dude, like toyou, like that was that was great
you for owning up to a bet, and then they bought me drinks.
So basically what I'm thinking, sincewe need a little bit of help on

(01:01:10):
this go fundme, is I wantyou to go to the Turtle the Green
Turtle karaoke spot. There was alot of people that were very upset that
hit Me Baby one more Time didnot win on the karaoke voting contest.
So I think if you go thereand you tell everybody why you're about to

(01:01:30):
sing, what you're gonna sing,that you lost, pick them, and
then you perform hit Me Baby likelike you've never performed anything before, people
will applaud you for it, andyou can say, hey, you know,
if you want to help, he'sthis burden losing. Here's our GoFundMe.
You can you know, contribute tothat and help us get to this

(01:01:51):
championship game. I think it's aprime opportunity. Uh so there's you know,
I'm an ultimate opportunist here. I'mnot just gonna punish you to punch
you if there is something I canget out of it. Oh, this
is crazy, man. I thoughtI was done with this thinking man.

(01:02:13):
But hey, hey it's for agood cause. Man, I see what
I could do. But you canbring the Swift for wet Jet with you
if you want to help you becausethat guy a lot of positive response.
So I think we've found Malcolm's newniche is lift sinking or karaoke, but
it's for a good cast. SoI just want to throw out that that

(01:02:34):
little bit there, it's for agood cause. So that ship, he's
the pain it's for That's what you'retelling myself. It's for a good cause.
