  Speaker 1: Polly Fools go here with Tony Fosco. And you may
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: notice there was no intro music. You're probably picked up
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on that. In fact, this isn't going to be a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: usual show today because we got some very bad news
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: over the weekend.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Done not the Sixers, somehow blowing it to the shop next. Oh,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: that was terrible. This news was even worse.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: The sports community lost one of the all time great personalities,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Howie Schwab. And yeah, as you probably know, how he
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: had been a guest on our show twice and each
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: time we have to say, Tony, don't we He was
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: brave and courageous enough to put his legendary reputation on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the line to face you, Tony in a sports trivia
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: showdown to see who the real sultant of sports trivia was.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I got to give him credit, bro, It took a
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: lot of guts to step in and take on somebody
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: with as much sports knowledge as I have.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Bro exactly, and as we all know, you know, Tony
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: decisively crushed him in both episodes. But that being said,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you know, after we got this news, Tony, we did
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: go back and listen into those episodes and we did,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe the playing ground. There wasn't so even
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe the questions weren't of equal difficult shall
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we say, Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I mean I could see how somebody could come to
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that conclusion.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe perhaps, yeah, maybe.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we decided, you know, it's a special tribute to Howie.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to play for you now both of his
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: appearances on the show, because they were truly some of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: our favorite moments Tony, you know, I mean, maybe not
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for him sometimes because he did seem to get a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: little testy with us.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did seem that way a little bit. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: don't know why. Yeah, you know.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway, his first appearance came on the show in January
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, and well, there's no video except
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for a social clip we were able to find because well,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know, there was no.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: YouTube back then. Yeah, it didn't exist.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have the audio, which is still terrific. Nonetheless,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: so all right, let's cue that up here. It is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: our two on one with the legendary Howie Schwab saturnight
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: there in the world.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Our guest is known, you know, for some reason as
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the Sultan of sportscrivia former ESPN personality started out there
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as a researcher producer. Then he became the star of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Sportscrivia game show there called Stump the Schwab. Anyway,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: let's get him on here, Howie Schwab, Welcome to the show.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for some reason they called me that. You're right,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That's what we want to know. Who came up with that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You give that nickname to yourself? Where'd that come from?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Hell? No? No?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Oh all right, all right, I know some.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Of the ESPN came up with that, I guess.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But well, that's surprising that this ESPN person never heard
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of us, because, as you may know, some people do,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: some people don't. We were actually offered a game show
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: by ESPN way back in the day. We had to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: turn it down due to other obligations.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: But that's why we want to know.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And you know, I asked this respectfully, How the hell
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: did they give you a show.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Me a show because someone was drunk? I mean, let's
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: be honest.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Oh well, that does kind of explain a lot of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: decisions at that network.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: No, seriously, what happened was Mark Shapiro, the senior vice
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: president of ESPN, call me in his office. I had
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: no idea why And he said, we're starting a new show.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: It's called Stumped the Schwab. I'm like, what, okay, when
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I lose others, I'm just going to try to have fun.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: And we went four years. I did okay, I had
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: won eighty percent.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I did lose.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I did lose.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: And the funny thing is one time I was in
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Las Vegas and someone said, oh, you never lost it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: To be honest with you, I was sixty four and sixteen.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I do know that for a fact. And the guy goes, oh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: you sucked.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It might have been me.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that might have been Tony, because that's what we
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: want to know. You lost the show called Stump the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Schwab sixteen times. So shouldn't the people have that beat you?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't they be the ones who then become the star
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of the show and you know, they kick your ass
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to the carb.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be called beat the Guy who Beat
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the Schwab.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Well, actually a couple of them probably could have. A
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: couple of them were very very good.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: One guy Nabata Ales was really good, and Joel the
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: pole Redwanska was really good.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The Mafia guy what kind of name is that?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: One guy was really obnoxious to me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, and I did not really care for him, to
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: be honest though, by gones are by gones now. But well,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: we want to know what He came on the show
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: and said, to be the man, you've got to beat
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: the man.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, now I'm playing against Rick Flair.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, nature boy, I like it. Well, what happened
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with this guy? You know you're get in the fight
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: with him? Did it become like, you know, stomp the schwab?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Why didn't you kick his ass?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Actually I might have liked to do.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: That, you know, but nex time you call us it
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: turned out he beat me twice, and then the third time,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: in the first round of the finals, he got knocked out.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: So it was like, are you kidding me? I wanted
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: to meet you in the finals so bad and then
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you blew it. Okay, well, such his life.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have scripted at WWE style.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That would have worked. You know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the show was canceled after four seasons. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: think I know why. I think it was because it
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was too easy. What do you think went wrong there?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Oh? I don't think anything really went wrong. It was
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: just programming decided to it costs money.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: To do the show because we taped to New York
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: and I think it might have been budget partially. I
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: don't think anything really went wrong. Everyone who worked on
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the show did a great job. We had a lot
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: of fun. No, they didn't give me the answers. I've
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: heard that one before too.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that says me. My next question then.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my that was my that was my goal,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: save you question.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Well, look, we don't have a lot of time ant

  Speaker 1: sound effects.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the thunder Doll. First question of Tony. Ready, Tony, here,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: this one's for your goal.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Before Nick Foles led the Eagles to a triumphant victory
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, who was the last Eagles quarterback
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to lead his team to an appearance in the Super Bowl?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You know that question is easy for me. The answer
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: is number five. Well, what are you doing there?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: How are we that question is not for you. Stop
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: trying to show off. Correct Donovan McNabb, All right, how.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: One point for me? Oh yeah, that one point for Tony?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: All right? How are this one's for you? In the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: same ballpark.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: We all know Donovan McNabb was the second overall pick
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen ninety nine NFL draft, But which player
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was drafted by the Eagles in the seventh round of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the same draft with the two hundred and eighth overall pick.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, again, remind.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You these are randomly selected questions.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: You know it's funny because I knew the one in
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: the sixth round, but uh.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Listen them to a try and qualify it. Come on,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we asked you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, that's a good one. Uh seventh round.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Let's see, we're gonna need to send a timer here,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, show only twenty minutes?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Here rang the bell? Sure are five seconds?
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: How we went twenty time limit?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Match?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I get it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I was good for a great guest, but I can't
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: even do that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you can stop with the excuses because your time's up.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Tony.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You know this won't count toward your point total, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, can you answer this one.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I think I can, Jed, we've tight end
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: that of our again, good practice squad.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, well that's so at the end
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the round one, it's Tony one, Howie zero.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: All right, Tony, this one's for you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: When the Eagles made their first appearance in the Super
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Bowl back in nineteen eighty one, which player who became
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: an ESPN personality too was the quarterback?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: You know? Once again, Howie, please, this one is easy
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: to think. This one's easy for me.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe not a lot of you out there don't know
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: it like Howie, but it's Ron Joe Wall.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: You are correct, very good, Tony.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: That's two points for you, all right, Howie, Now to you,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Now to you, Saint Paul Park. When Ron Juwarski made
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: his first start for the Eagles back in Week one
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of the nineteen seventy seven season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: who caught his very first touchdown pass.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess Vince Papali, but I'll be wrong.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Well, then you're right about being wrong, because you're wrong, Tony.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You know this won't count toward your point total, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, do you know the answer to this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: One, of course, who can forget touchdown? Tommy Sullivan? There
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It was Tommy Sullivan, the running back, and how he
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: kind of disappointed he didn't get that one. You're down
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the zero to two, so I'm gonna throw it to you, Howie.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: This one's for you, all right, last chance he had
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to stay alive.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Here we go, focus in staying alive. Staying alive.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, all right, you're not going to win any recording
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: contracts either, but right here we go. Before Nick Foles
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: won Super Bowl MVP, he led his team to victory
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: against the Vikings in the NFC Championship. Please tell us
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: his yards per attempt in that game, and make sure
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to be accurate to the second decimal point.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Or unfortunately, we will have to count it as wrong.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Thirteen point one. Say that number again, thirteen point one.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Oh well, unfortunately, like all your other answers, that is incorrect.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: You know, we do appreciate you being so bullish on
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Nick Foles. But hey, Tony, just out of curiosity again,
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: do you know this one?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You know, if memory serves me correctly, I believe he
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: averaged somewhere about ten point six seven yards per day
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a tempt in that game.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Wow the nose, Tony, well done, and that means you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: are the winner. So Howie, this must mean we need
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you right now to tell Tony. Please tell Tony and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: crown him as the sultan of sportscrevia.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Please go ahead, come on, well.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Tony, you're clearly the Sultan of Eagles sports trivia.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You can't even lose with plan.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Let me be honest, Let me be honest. I'm more
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: like Steve Lombardi in wrestling. Maybe quick to Rick McGraw. Uh,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: tonight against Andre the Giant and whole you're making.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You're making all these excuses for yourself, and I'll show
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you the door because guess what you're how are you doing?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You're doing terrible? Get out of it. That was congratulations, Tony.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: You really showed him. I kicked his ass. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you sure did.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I'm still on here, guys, what what what? What?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: That's our producer, Jay? What are you doing? Jay? Hang
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: up on this guy?
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: You didn't disconnect me? Come on, guys, all right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Well there he's gone finally. You know he hangs on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: there because the guy gets can't stop talking. Yeah, h
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you know, Tony in retrospect looking back now listening to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that those questions, you know, maybe they were a little
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: unfairly balanced there.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could see again how somebody may
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: come to that conclusion.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe just a little bit. Yeah, well, in our defense,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: we did give Howie another shot. Yeah, we did took
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: him a couple of years.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: To come back, maybe because you know, he was busy
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: or just angry at us, probably, but we invited him
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: back on the show to try and win his title back.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: You know, give him that fairp of dunity, very fair
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and well, you know, when we listen back to this episode, though, Tony,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you know this one may have been not so balanced
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: as well. I guess you could say anyway, you know,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you judge for yourself. All right, here it is. This
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: one's from a March of twenty twenty three.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Queue that up here. It is the one and only
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Howie Schwab Satite all right.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: For decades now, this guy's been considered one of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: legends over at ESPN. He worked behind the scenes as
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a researcher and producer, you know the story, before becoming
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: on air co host of the popular sports trivia game
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: show Stump the Schwab, where he became known around the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: world as the Sultan of Sports Trivia, the title which,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: as you remember, he lost right here on the show
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: two years ago when Tony absolutely just wiped the floor
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: with him and they totally fair, totally fair sports trivia competition.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So we do have to give him his.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Due for being man enough to come on the show again.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Show his face after that total humiliation. How we want
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to respect Welcome back to the show.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, Howie.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: How much are you paying me for this? Oh?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: We're off with a pang. How we're going to start?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Is that how you started negotiations with the ESPN No.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Wonder they left you on the side of the highway
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in Bristol.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Well after that production? Now, how you kicked my ass
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the last time?
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Great, we were We were very respectful about it, very
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: very respectful.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: You weren't an eagle jersey. I'm a giant man.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Good job, right, going to like this.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Look, we know you're back, you're Howie. You want to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: win your title back and we're going to give you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that shot. But first, there was a moment this week.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You may have seen it on ESPN's first take with
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Steven A.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Smith.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Totally Michael Kay for attempting to talk your reaction to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that clip.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I think it's awful because the NHL has very much
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: earned its right to be among the major sports.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: There you go up there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I understand if you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Don't want to say it's ESPN will say the NBA
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: is above it, and we'll say baseball and football. Of course,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: the NFL, it's up there, Okay, But the bottom line
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: is this, look the look, Look what the Boston Bruins
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: have done this year. One of the greatest years ever, David.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: These are things every American knows. Now, we want to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: know you worked behind the scenes there. When you were there,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: did you notice a strong anti hockey bias at ESPN.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I would say that hockey did not get its just
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: due when it was not on the network.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: I mean the stories they did were like the Russian spies, uh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: involving hockey.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: There were others.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, no, I don't think they jumped the job
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: it was off the air. Once it came back on
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: the air, I thought that, well, they gave it a
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: little more respect.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: They they have that TV showed the point. Yes, they
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: give it a little.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Bit replace first take.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, yeah, they should have Barry Melrose on
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: every morning first take.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: They're missing the point literally, Ye, yeah, exactly.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Would have to get up early. I don't know if
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: he wants.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: That you want, I.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Don't know about that, but I just.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: It's a shame because there's ways to give it more publicity. Unfortunately,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: I think when you're talking about first take, I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: think Steven a really cares that much about hockey.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, moved it. Yeah he's been outed.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: You don't know nothing against ay, I'm jays. Steve A.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Smith gets criticized by some people. Steve A. Smith is
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: a good person.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, but he's so anti hockey and that's shameful a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: good person who's anti hockey.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Now, is that what led to your split with ESPN?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: That hey, if you don't put on more hockey, I'm leaving.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You violently demand they put on more hockey coverage and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: there was some sort of fight between you and them.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: No, that did not happen.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's what we heard.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that you walked in.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: One day and you punched one of the producers in
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the mouth and you said lead with the des versus
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the senators.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's funny. You tell his story, which is obviously
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: not true. But one time I did have a disagreement
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: the producer Sports Center when Mario Lemieux was going to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: be out for like months, he had the fourth story
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: in the show.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding Me?
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: And I went I.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Went crazy, I went above his head. I went to
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: one of the boss and said.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: This is good and you're wrong.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they changed it, and that guy he pissed off
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: at me.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: But you know what, I wasn't wrong so.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Well on the subject the way you are wrong, that's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: called the segue. Yeah, that's a great segue, Paul.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: You want to win your title back, you want to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: play the trivia again.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's gonna be time right now.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Really not clearly.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: See he's scared. He's already given himself now.

  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm not I'm ready.

  Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear the as and questions that
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: are going to come my way.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But it's all good, he's implying, exactly.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: See the last.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Time, this isn't the super Bowl. Don't worry, it's.
