The Patriots lost to the Colts in a low-scoring game. The defense played well, but the offense struggled. Mac Jones threw a crucial interception, signaling the end of his time as the Patriots' starting quarterback. Bailey Zappi replaced him but also threw an interception. The Patriots are now 2-8 and out of playoff contention, focusing on their draft position. There are questions about the team's future, and owner Robert Kraft needs to take a more active role in finding solutions. The AFC East division is unexpectedly open, and the Patriots missed an opportunity to be competitive. Balls placed on the 40, less than 40 seconds to go, Zappi with a fake snap, fake spike, Cardinale is intercepted. Oh boy. Rodney Thomas. A barely Zappi fake spike leads to a game-stealing interception. No! Now how the hell have we gotten to the point where we are watching a barely Zappi fake spike? Oh boy, let's do the levels thing. I don't think I, well I predicted that the Colts would win this game. 13-10. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd see a game where there was only one touchdown and three field goals, and that would be the total that would be on this game, as the Patriots lose 10-6 to the Colts. Sure, it probably should have been 10-9 if it weren't for my buddy Chad, but I respect the fact that he's all about the tank. But this was just a brutal game to watch. Watching this at 9.30 in the morning was pretty much what you'd call torture. Like I feel horrible for the poor people of Germany. Just not a good game at all. Really no big exciting plays, maybe minus a couple downs catches from Minshew, which that guy's actually pretty good, so. I take back a little bit what I said about the receiving corps. Pittman and Downs are actually pretty good players. But, I don't know, let me, I'm going to try to find some positives to start here. The defense, if you let up 10 points, you had a good day. Defense played very well in this game, really held the Colts in check. I mean, let's be honest, kept us in this game. I actually didn't realize the Colts, I guess, had come into this game averaging like 20 points a game and were one of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL on average. Not sure where that came from, but, you know, you hold that team to 10 points, and when a defense holds a team to 10 points, that should mean that you win that game pretty handily. And if you look at records, most of the time that is what that's going to mean. The other positive I'll give to the Patriots, and again, there weren't many, but, Ramondre Stevenson, Ezekiel Elliott, you know what? Yeah, Ramondre and Zeke had a clap there because they controlled the game. The Patriots really were able to control this game pretty much from start to finish with the run game. Now, it had to have been like an 80-20 run to throw split in this game, but Ramondre and Zeke, I mean, that was the two-headed combo that I wanted this whole season. I wanted them to build their team around, hey, let's go run the ball with these two big guys and let them control the game. And that's what the Patriots were able to do in this. They got down the field fairly easily quite a few times, but the only issue with playing this kind of style is that you really are limiting the amount of possessions that you have. I think I saw that the Patriots had four possessions in the second half, and that's because you're running the ball, which keeps the clock moving. When you throw the ball a lot, incompletions will stop the clock. When you run it, every single play, the clock just keeps ticking unless you run out of bounds, but with the way the Patriots were playing, it was a lot of stuff up the middle. I've got to give the offensive line a shout-out for the run blocking. They did a really good job opening up holes for Zeke and Ramondre, I mean, these guys were averaging over four yards a carry, and honestly, they didn't break a single big run in this game. So that just goes to show you that you really were dominant on the ground. Now saying all that, we saw the official end of an era here in New England with this play. Four and a half remaining, second and 12. Jones on the play fake. Intercepted! Intercepted and returns this for a couple yards by Blackman. Oh! Matt Jones with his tenth interception of the season at a back-breaking moment. So long, farewell, I'll be here saying goodnight. I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. So long, farewell, I'll be here saying adieu. Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you. Yes, that's right. The Mac Jones era in New England is over. And the sad part about this for me is I think I've probably, as far as our group chat's concerned, been the biggest apologist for Mac. God, I've given this guy so many chances. And sometimes he flashed, sometimes he looked okay. I will say this season, really, I haven't seen anything, minus the Bills game, that would give you a whole lot of hope. And that was it. That throw, that's when Zafi came in. That is the last throw you probably will ever see Mac Jones make as a New England Patriot. And we'll talk about some of that a little later, but God, this guy just... As we talked about Mondre and Zeke getting him down there, every single time they got down there he makes a stupid throw. He had one where he does, again, it's this stupid little fadeaway thing he keeps trying to do, and I have no idea who taught him to do this, or whose film he watched where he thought he could get away with this. But he throws a ball into the end zone, that horrendous throw. Should have been picked off, and then they flip to Kraft and he's putting his head down. And I've never seen Kraft look that dejected. That was the moment I was like, I think Kraft actually knows that this is over. And then we get that pick. That was the worst throw I think I have ever seen in an NFL game. Hell, we might be talking about college football here. Mike Yosiki is wide open. There's two different windows Mac Jones could have gotten this ball to him. If he throws it quick, Mike Yosiki walks in for a touchdown. Even if he waits, which he did, all you have to do is throw the ball to the back of the end zone, and Mike Yosiki's alone, touchdown. Instead, and I have, again, no idea how this happened, he fades to his back foot and then just tries to throw a little fadeaway throw that he short arms by like ten yards. And the defender, who is way out of position on this play, you know he turned around and was like, oh, fuck, I just got burned for a touchdown. This guy has the ball fall directly into his lap. Like, I'm not kidding. When I saw this throw, I was like, this is like a throw I would try to make to like a five-year-old when you're trying to teach him how to play catch. Ball's going five miles an hour, little loop thing, and I was like, there's just no way anyone who is an NFL player could even miss that catch. And that's it. That's the end of Mac Jones right there. The second I saw it, I was like, well, he's done. There's no chance that Bill Belichick puts that guy back in the game. And I think, you know, I feel bad for Mac on a certain level. You know, they kept cutting him to on the sidelines, and you could tell he's just dejected. And, I mean, obviously rightfully so. I mean, I don't think Mac's not like a hardworking guy. I think he put a lot into this, but it's not working. It's over. Patriots need to move on. He needs to move on. And tough. It's just a tough way to go out. But, honestly, is there a more fitting play that would end Mac Jones' tenure with the Patriots than that pick? That really kind of just summed up a game where you have a chance to go down and take the lead, and you're getting close, and he throws a horrible ball, and it gets picked. That literally has summed up the Patriots for the past, I don't know, three seasons. I guess we'll say two. We'll give Mac his rookie year. But even then, we had some issues like that. So that's it. That's the end of Mac Jones. And it's funny. I don't know. There must have been a lot of Americans at this game because the second he gets in, just like the old Brady chant, Zappy chant, suddenly you just start hearing Zappy, Zappy, Zappy. And I'm not going to lie. Zappy comes out. He's kind of gunning the ball around. He's got a little zip. I was like, okay, Bailey Zappy. Maybe there's something here again. Maybe he's going to come through. And then he does the fake spike and throws. Again, I have no idea what in the world he could have thought was going to happen on that throw. But he throws it into the middle of four defenders, and the guy gets the easiest pick of his life. I mean, both those interceptions are the easiest interceptions you will ever see. Thrown directly to defenders, not even a wide receiver near him. And they cut to Kraft, and he is just, like, laughing. I think he almost, like, spit his water out because he was so amazed by how bad of a throw that was. But there you had it for the game. Zappy throws the pick, and it's over. And Patriots fall to 2-8 coming up on their bye week here, which is crazy that, you know, we only have, what, seven games of football left for this season. Patriots, obviously, 2-8. You're totally out of playoff contention. You're solely thinking about draft position. And currently, they have the third pick in the draft, which I don't know about you guys, I'm excited about. So I think that's a good spot to be, especially with the Giants game coming up, which we'll talk about in a second. But Patriots have a lot, lots and lots of questions coming up that need to be answered this week. And I put a lot of onus of this onto Robert Kraft. I think he needs to make sure that he is very involved and make sure that Belichick does not kind of alpha him out of the room. Because Kraft needs to come up with a plan, right? He's the only thing that is guaranteed to be on this team next year at this point at 2-8. So Robert Kraft needs to be extremely involved this next week, figuring out what the hell this team is going to try to do to be better next year in a division that ended up actually being pretty wide open, as crazy as that is to say, with the Bills losing, Jets losing. Now, again, it's crazy how close the AFC East has become. Dolphins obviously have the lead right now. But, like, the Bills may not finish above .500. This division was there, if you come out and have a decent season, to actually be extremely competitive in. And I know that has to kill Kraft. So to me, he needs to make sure he's putting his foot down this week and say, I'm going to be involved in every decision here moving forward, and it's not just going to be the Bill Belichick show. So first things first, Mac Jones. Mac Jones is going to be benched the rest of the season. I don't see a world in which he even can remotely see the field again, barring any injuries. But as far as I'm concerned, I think I would just tell Mac, hey, man, just stay home. We'll pay you. I don't think there's any benefit to Mac Jones being at the stadium. Because you can hear it from his teammates, and I think Deertrick Wise said this. They still have a lot of belief in Mac Jones. Again, I don't know what games they've been involved in and watched him play. But I know they see that he's a hard worker, and I think they think, oh, he could figure it out at some point. I think it's fair to say that that's not going to happen now. And to me, I think it's only fair to even Mac to say, just get away from the team. He needs a total mental reset. That's full stop what he needs to go do for himself. Because he can't even make a simple throw right now. There were so many times in that game where there really wasn't a lot of pressure at his feet, and you could see immediately he's starting to panic. And then he goes off his back foot, which, again, as a quarterback, you're told you'd never go off your back foot. And honestly, it feels like at this point that's what Mac Jones does 50% of the time. So that's where I'd start. I'd say, Mac, we really appreciate everything you did for us, but we're going to go a different direction. We're going to go see if any of these other quarterbacks are worth keeping on the roster for next year, because that's honestly what we've got to figure out at this point. So then, that leads into the next question. Which QB deserves to get the next shot? I'm going to say Will Greer. I don't feel confident about it because he hasn't really even dressed. But I personally feel like we know what Bailey Zafi is. He's an undersized quarterback. Kind of smart player, but is Bailey Zafi really going to ever get you anywhere? No. Now, the one thing I'll say is Will Greer is 28 years old. He's been in the NFL a little bit. He's not going to be a guy you're going to build your team around next year. But I do want to know, is Will Greer a confident backup QB? Could he be a guy that we keep on the roster when you go draft the young guy that he kind of knows the system already and can help him come along? And then maybe even be that bridge QB that I actually think that they need to really consider doing just with how poor the team has been the past few years. They need to build up some talent before they throw any rookies into the fire here. And I think you're seeing this a little bit in Carolina where Carolina is not a talented football team. They don't have a lot of players around Bryce Young. And you can see it is affecting him. Now, on the flip side, you get someone like CJ Stroud who's having an unbelievable year, but he's just a better player than we thought he was. And I don't know, you can't really know totally who the right QB is going to be coming out of the draft. And even I look at like a Patrick Mahomes situation. He got to sit for a year. He got to learn about the NFL. He got to learn from Alex Smith. So that's kind of what I want for the next QB if we draft a young guy. I want him to have some time to really learn what the NFL is before we go ahead and throw him into the fire. And now the next big question, what's going on with Bill? What's the plan? I mean, based on all the reports, you definitely can get a sense that there's turmoil here between Kraft and Belichick. And I don't know, there's a lot of rumors coming out. There was one from Dan Orlovsky on the Pat McAfee show. Now, Diana Rossini reported this weekend that people around the building are assuming or preparing for a mutual parting of ways between Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. He will go coach somewhere else if that is the case. Will he be the GM as well? We assume, but who knows. That would be bananas. That would be a colossal move in the NFL news articles. I've heard that. I've heard more and more of that over the past, like, week. I'm not a reporter, all that stuff, but I have heard that. You're a journalist. Yeah. I have heard that that's going to be the case, and it's kind of who knows the likelihood of it, but I've heard that that's going to happen, and I've heard the location is already kind of determined as well. So that's certainly interesting, right, hearing that there may already be plans in place for where Bill Belichick might end up next. Also interesting to hear that he may not even be in a coaching capacity, maybe in a GM capacity. A couple things I find a little hard to believe on this one. First of all, would you really hire Bill Belichick just to be a GM after watching what the Patriots have become? They're a disaster, and I don't know why you'd bring in Belichick as a GM to solely do that job when he really hasn't been good at that since Brady left. Now, I do think there's probably teams out there that want Bill Belichick, but this kind of goes into my next point. Like, what do I want to see happen with the Patriots over these, I mean, next few weeks to offseason? I personally want to keep Bill around, I think. I'll say I think on that. I don't know that there's really many coaches out there that you're going to go get that are going to be significantly better than Bill Belichick. We just haven't seen, like, I just don't want to fall into that trap, right, where you become one of those teams that switches coaches every, like, three years. Because there's been a lot of that in the NFL, and it's really hard to find a good coach in the NFL. And Bill Belichick is still a really good coach. He has gotten some pretty decent seasons out of some horrible rosters the last couple years. And, I mean, his greatest performance probably was the Mac Jones rookie year, where he really was able to somehow get that team to perform way above where they should have been based on the talent that they had. Now, what does that mean as far as his GM role? I'm okay leaving Bill as the GM in title, but he needs significant help to go rebuild this team. I don't know if there's any of those young kind of minded guys that you could hire as assistant GM or something like that. But they need an influx of youth that can understand where the NFL is going today. Because I can't help but feel like the Patriots have been putting Band-Aids on with these veterans who are kind of old, slow, have kind of one trick that they can do, and that's kind of all that they have. I mean, think about, like, Devontae Parker, Juju Schuster, Nelson Aguilar a couple years ago. We need to go and draft some young guys. And, again, they tried to do this with Taequann Thornton. Now, wide receiver development on this team has been a disaster. And you guys know I love him, but Troy Brown has not done a great job with the wide receivers. I have to be able to say that. I don't want to say that, but it's just true. And they need to evaluate the positions that they have not done a good job of developing players at and go find coaches that can do that. Now, what's interesting, right, is that with Josh McDaniels getting fired, he actually took a lot of New England staff with him that was on that Mack Jones rookie season. So maybe there's a path to going to get some of those guys back in the building to help go and get this team back to where it needs to get to. But, again, I personally am not super interested in firing Belichick unless it's for something that I can get my head around being a better situation. And I don't really want to bring in a guy that's unproven. You know, the one guy that maybe I would think about is the Ben Johnson guy because I really think he's the reason Detroit's doing so well because he's an unbelievable offensive coordinator. But, you know, we have the third overall pick coming up in the draft here, and we have to hit on that. Do I think Bill's the right guy to make that pick? I struggled a little bit with that, and that's where I kind of hope Kraft can step in a little bit and say, hey, it's got to be a QB. You can evaluate, you can take the one that you think is right, but it's got to be a QB. And, man, it's crazy to think how important this Giants game's going to be that's coming up here. That is going to be one of the worst games you'll ever see, but all I hope is that they start the quarterback that can help them lose that game. I mean, hey, if Mack's the right guy for that, then maybe we start him one more week. But the DeVito guy stinks. Sorry, Sabati, but he does. He stinks. So it's going to be pretty interesting. But last thing I think I'd want to do, and, again, we'll talk about this more as the season goes on, but I think we've got to bring in a veteran. Now, again, as I was saying with Will Greer, if he does well, kind of shows that he knows the system, I'm okay with him being the bridge guy. But I'm good with also bringing in a guy like Jimmy G. Bring in a guy, he's been to the Super Bowl, he's seen everything. Give the rookie a guy that he can truly learn under. And, again, be explicit in the role when you talk to Jimmy about joining the team because Jimmy's not going to have a lot of places to go with the way he's played for the Raiders. So I think Jimmy could be a really good bridge guy that could help this team just get back to a point where they're playing pretty well. Like I'm sure he could help some young receivers develop a little bit, just being a guy that's seen a lot of things. He's worked in the Patriots system. Again, I mean, Jimmy was unbelievable for those, well, I guess I can't say those, that one and a half games that he played. I mean, I think the dude threw like seven touchdowns in like a game and a half, which is crazy. But that's the kind of guy I think I want to bring in because I'm not thinking about just getting right back in the saddle next year. Now, again, you see a team like the Texans, that does get you a little bit excited, I'm not going to lie. But I think this team needs to just slow it down, reset, and I think a bridge QB could be a really good thing for that. Now, kind of moving on to other news, Jack Jones gets released, you know, that guy that brought guns to Logan. Yeah, same one. So he gets released. His role had really diminished on the team, and he was, I mean, he was just pouting on the sidelines. Every time I've seen pictures of him, he's got like a towel around his head, not talking to anybody, doesn't care, Jabril Peppers after the game says, hey, I need to have a conversation with him, go figure out where he's at. But Jack Jones is done in New England and really just puts the cap on that horrendous 2022 draft led off by Cole Strange that the Patriots had. I mean, at this point, it's just all the players in that draft really haven't developed right, and a bunch of them are gone, and a bunch of them have gotten decreased playing time. So just another notch on Belichick's belt of kind of the poor performance these past few seasons. But here on out, Cole's got to be the lose. You got to lose games. But the other thing you got to do, and again, I hope this is a conversation to have, only young guys allowed to play. No more veterans, no more Juju Smith-Schuster, no more Devontae Parker. Got to be all the young guys. Other thing I want to definitely do, keep Andre healthy. Don't let him fall into that running back trap where you run him into the ground in a couple years. No reason to do that. I'm happy seeing a bunch of Ezekiel Elliott this year. You only have him signed for one year anyway. Again, he's done a great job, and I really appreciate the leadership Zeke has brought to this team. But I don't want to see Ramond run into the ground. He's finally hitting his stride again this year. But we need him for the next couple years. We can't risk him falling into one of those classic running backs that you think about that didn't make it too long in the NFL because their team didn't give him the correct off days. So that's kind of where we're at with the Patriots. It's going to be an interesting week. Yeah, definitely things to look out for if they announce that Mack won't be the starter going forward. What's the plan with Kravitz-Belichick? Now personally, I think you probably would have already heard if Bill Belichick was going to be fired from this team. Just thinking about the fact that we already saw that Ken Dorsey, the Bill's offensive coordinator, he gets fired immediately, right? I think that's kind of how you handle it now. A little different situation having come over from Germany. But Kravitz has been pretty consistent about saying he wouldn't fire somebody in season. Even Teddy Boruski said he doesn't see the Patriots pulling what the Raiders did. He said the Patriots aren't the Raiders. So I think it's something you're going to see evaluated in the offseason. But I just really hope Kraft is very clear with kind of what the expectations for this year are moving forward. And I hope Bill's in line with what he's thinking. And I'm actually very happy we have this week for them to kind of get together and figure that all out. All right, but let's get into it. Time for some fantasy football talk and let's take a look around the league at what happened. So, I know it's tough because I always start with mine because it's always at the top. But Bill puts up 110 points and, yeah, I was below score in the league this week. I only had like 72 points. It was really bad and I'm kind of ashamed of it. But wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, man. Let's go. Let's go. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Oh, God, that felt good. I needed that after all these weeks. Jimmy D. Taking down Jarn. 141 to 129. Oh, man, we needed that. Oh, anyway, moving on to the next game. We had Tom Driscoll taking down Sean and claps for Tom. High score this week, 159 to 127. And then, oh, I'm so sorry. Tom was not the top scorer this week. It was actually Pat Barrett in the Austin Eckler Bowl beating Ben. Oh, my God. 162 to 98. How's that trade looking, guys? Does that trade still seem really, like, fair and balanced with Ben's best player being Tyler Lockett after he traded for the other Seattle wide receiver? Does that seem like it's going well? But, anyway, and then we go down to Sabati and Dan. And, unfortunately, Dan unable to keep the winning streak going. Sabati goes to 5 and 5, 101 to 92. But taking a look at the standings here, okay, so he's still in first place. He's still in first place. But Bo is now tied with him, which makes me feel very good. Bo, obviously, in second place, having said that. Tom Driscoll moving up to third place, followed by Jimmy D. And, guys, couldn't be happier to let you guys go ahead of me after what James D. is able to take down, James Arnold. But I'm right there at fifth, at 5 and 5. And then we got Sabati right behind me, also at 5 and 5. Pat's team is starting to make a little noise here at 4 and 6. Once again, I think that Austin Eckler trade is going to come back to be very positive for him. And then we got Sean. That's Sean, right, half-chub? No, you'd think I'd get good at these after a while. Yeah, Sean in eighth place. Wow, Sean suddenly starting to be down near the bottom here. Hate to see that for you, O'Sullivan. And then, as they've kind of been duking it out all year, we got Ben and Daniel at the bottom, both at 3 and 7. So, it'll be an interesting end to the year here, guys, with all of our 4 and 6 friends. Make sure you don't keep losing. Honestly, I feel like I need to make sure my team's okay, too, because we've kind of stunk recently. I know we've dropped two in a row secretly, and I'm really nervous about it, actually, but trying to stay cool. But, all right, it's time for our new segment. I'm going to react to live audio messages from you guys. So, yeah, let's get into it. Here's our first one. Kyle, how do voice memos work? To be honest, I wasn't even really sure, but clearly figured it out, so that's good. Why is the NFL TV app the worst app ever created? Oh, well, that's simple, because the NFL is quite cheap, and they probably put no time into getting their app, because they know they own every right, and they know they can just kind of screw you with a shitty product. So, I think that's all that is. Next. Hey, Kyle. First time in a long time. I wanted to ask you a question about this staff member I have at work. Yeah, go ahead. That's been, you know, just giving me a lot of problems as of late, you know. They've been there, you know, over six months now. You know, they're really ingrained in the culture and all that. But, you know, just as an employee, they're very much a headache to deal with. You know, it's always like walking up to me when I'm in meetings or talking to someone else and just being like, hey, or constantly referring to overthrowing me and the power structure and running the place themselves. So, I guess my question is, should I fire him? Listen, first and foremost, your mental health comes first. And if this person is affecting your mental health, I just know a lot of people out there are looking for jobs. And if you have somebody who just doesn't appreciate the work that you put in and is just there to badger you, and, I mean, insane to say that they are going to overthrow the structure. I mean, we have enough that we're dealing with in our own fantasy chat about this right now. I think you've got to cut ties with them. I think it's your only choice. All right, next. Now, Kyle, did you think ahead in how you're going to record these audios and play them on your podcast? You know, you're always a forward thinker when it comes to podcast tech. Well, fuck that guy. Clearly I'm doing this very well. All right, next. Now, Kyle, if you think back to earlier in the season that I did assign you Ohio State for a Big Ten fan base. So, as an Ohio or, sorry, the Ohio State University fan, what are your thoughts on James' latest handle with Michigan football? Well, first of all, O-H-I-O. The greatest football program ever created. I mean, clearly they cheated. Harbaugh should lose his job. Should be killed, really, for tainting the great game that is college football. College football has been my life for years. I know you guys think of me just as an NFL fan. No, I've been secretly followed in college football. You guys both assigned me OSU. I've been an Ohio State fan for my whole life. And what Michigan did is an absolute disgrace. Next question. Kyle, we're at the midway point of the season. Please give us your commentary and overall grades on James' performance as a leader of the GCPR so far. Oof. Well, we've touched on this a little bit on other podcasts. There's clear favoritism with the GCPR ranking system. I don't think you could really get around it. I mean, I started a podcast and somehow I can't even crack the top two in this stupid thing. Clear favoritism afoot. And it calls into question whether one man should have all that power. And I think we've seen that in multiple cases this year. Next question. Kyle, who won the most recent Republican presidential debate? Oh, sorry about that. I didn't hear that one. Next question. Kyle, when you have to bring the trophy to Utah, are you going to drive it out, fly out? What's your plan here? Well, first of all, I just need continued support like I got from my great friend, James DeRogorio, who I didn't bury just seconds ago. I guess to fly it out probably. I don't really know. It's a really awkward shape and stuff, so I don't know if I could find a bag that could fit that, maybe like a ski bag or something. That would work if I was going to Utah. I really got to think more about that. Next question. Hey, Kyle. It's Sabati here sending you your recording for the pod. Question, I was curious if there's any openings available for a producer position at the Patriot Star Life podcast. I think I have some fun and exciting ideas I could bring to the table. So please reach out to me via text, phone, or e-mail. If interested, I can send a resume over as well. Thank you. Well, first of all, I love the initiative to reach out via, you know, this opportunity I gave you guys to be on the show to try to engage like that. I think what I'd like to see from any potential applicants is show me some content. What do you got? Send something into the show. I'll play it, and we'll see if it's any good. I could see a resume, too, if you want to go that way, but I think some real content I could play on the show would be an ideal way to, you know, get yourself more involved. But that'll wrap it up. Didn't see any other voice messages, so hopefully some of you are inspired by that segment and want to get involved in it next week. But best of luck, boys. Got a close Fantasy League going here. A lot of excitement in these last seven weeks. So let's finish the year strong, and we'll see who comes in first, hopefully not James Arnold, and who comes in last. Play something again. Oh, we're going again. All right. You're never getting a recording like that again. We'll be right back.
