Automatic TRANSCRIPT

O 6 World Cup for me, I was a freshman in college, and I didn't have anything to do in the mornings and all the games were in the morning, so me and my Friends would just sit around and wish to summer after our freshman year of college and just watch all the games. And I got obsessed and I just remember like, in particular, outside the U.S., which was the focus, right?

Back healed insights. People may not know what this is. I haven't seen people chattering about this just yet, but I've had access to it and I've been blown away by what you put together. insights, thanks for deleting. We be insights is a project that myself and friend of the show, Bobby warshaw, have been working on for a while now. So the idea is it's a new premium tier on backyard
