00:35wallet i was gonna say is the pressure greater on him to perform or to behave

00:39that's a really good question i'll say it's to behave yeah because i think most people would

00:49say i can take something and turn him into that but i need to know he can be a good teammate and

00:54i need to know that he can i'll say there's more pressure to behave uh next one on this list as

00:59we're talking about the most pressure uh i think that he's yeah probably under more pressure to
