Mr. Alex Rodriguez.

Joining us now, Alex, it's Craig and Chris. Great to have you here. How you been, buddy? What's up, guys? A big fan of the show. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I know tough night for you last night. We'll get to that later on. We called you earlier this week. I just wanted to do some Yankee baseball with you, but also wanted to give you the opportunity.
