Don't let me talk about that too much, because I'll go nuts. I had a radio serve. 00:02:34:40 - 00:03:01:13 You could only hear it. You couldn't see it. So the match begins. It's an exhibition from the local department store, Lazarus, downtown Columbus, 2000 people. A lot of people want my friends. People I taught there. They're all there to see me go up against Pancho Gonzalez. The match begins. I serve first, ace. You don't even see it. Second serve. 00:03:01:18 - 00:03:29:52 Ace. Third point. Ace.
