Brad Pitt and the -- only mean man Billy -- You know having -- be. -- when He gets them that -- oh yeah did though Brad was. It was it was right in the whole movie and it was its been along experience -- process but. Have been been desensitized. Still a little surreal.

Michael Lewis's money ball -- to winning an unfair game and it was that that second part of the title since winning the game I just I never thought of sports baseball in particular. You know from an economic standpoint. And then how does -- -- a team with a -- on the payroll I was supposed to be competitive it's it's impossible it's. It and so these guys by necessity started to.
