[upbeat music] Hello and welcome to the Big T, a full episode of the day. BG is by my side. I'm AP, and I'm glad to have you with me. We are presented by ServiceNow today, and I'm glad to have you with me and to see you well and alive, because it got a little rowdy outside of our hotel yesterday, didn't it?

Who knew you win a big game and then Paris has fallen. You'd figure, I mean, God forbid, if they lost, what would happen? There was rioting, there's fires, I mean, broken windows everywhere. Hopefully you got home safely.
Andrea Petkovic· Host0:45
Barely. Just after I got into the hotel, the police started to throw tear gas, so it was very, very, um, I don't know if I w- I felt... Yes, I actually felt, uh, a little bit in danger. Did you feel in danger when you were out?
Brad Gilbert· Host1:00
I came down at 3:00 a.m. 'cause I was hearing it for, like, four hours in my room, and then the, the people at the front, "Don't go outside. Don't..." And there was just a lot of young kinda hoodlums out there having fun, destroying things. It was awful to see. Um, but like I said, I, I was just like, if they won the game.
Andrea Petkovic· Host1:19
Yeah. [laughs] Like what happens if you lose a game? I know. You know, when I lost a game, I would riot in the locker room, but I wouldn't take it to the streets, right? That's how you do it usually.
Brad Gilbert· Host1:29
This is good.
