I think it was some sort of prank.

Oh, oh.

I don't know.

Why did they ask me?

No, they use regular people, like the Gap.

I wouldn't say regular.

I'd say, you know, public intellectuals, still celebrities.

I've been watching too many highlights

really yeah i'm like catching up on nhl from like i'd say probably 11th grade and i'm 38 and now i'm like locked in 11th grade i i want to catch our audience up on like kind of what your profile was because it's it's fascinating to me and if i was uh good at fighting and sports and uh ice skating yeah i would be you yeah

Tell me if I'm describing this correctly.

Your position was basically to wind up kind of the best player on the other team and make him lose his focus and lose his head, right?

Essentially, yes.

Yeah.

That's what I found fascinating about it.

It's a sport, unlike any other sport, there's an aspect of violence which is being woked out of the league right now.

But there's this aspect of like kind of the mental chess game.

And in a team sport like that, it's like you kind of don't see that in other... Like you see a pitching duel maybe, but like you don't really see someone like you who's like a guy in the depth chart who you bring out and he's like, he's going to make Sidney Crosby...

Cry.

No, no, no.

So your parents were teachers.
