Well, we're kind of out of time, so we'll let you go, Sam. But I know you'll be back soon because December 15th is right around the corner. Not that that's a super important day for all these teams that are struggling, but we're keeping an eye on it. Coming up after the break, Carter Rodriguez from the Chasedown Pod is going to join us to talk about the Cavs and how they got to 13-0.
