Andrew, Alex, thank you for having me. It was a delight to get to see you in person, Andrew. It's been a long time since I was in OKC. So these past couple of weeks getting, you know, not a little bit, but a lot of bit of time out there has been fun. I will say this, you and I hanging, you know, two seats apart from each other.

been diminished in the past couple weeks but but they were fun to watch and it was just a cool environment to be a part of yeah it's no joke it is it is legitimately crazy loud and like the seats that we sit in were in the corner kind of across from the the visitor bench and we have to stand up Ich denke, es ist nicht sehr typisch, dass man in einer Medienseite stehen muss.

Und dann muss ich aufstehen. Ich würde sagen, versuch nicht, McMahon als einen politischen Mann zu bezeichnen.

151.505 - 174.62 Sam Amick

Er hat keine Angst vor deiner Knie. Was redest du da über? Aber nein, du hast recht. Und es gibt so eine ungewöhnliche Wissenschaft von, du weißt, Joel Lorenzi aus Oklahoma war auf meiner Seite und ich konnte sagen, Joel ist da immer da und seine Energie war ein bisschen wie, ich stehe auf, wann auch immer ich will und ich sitze auf, wann auch immer ich will.
