But nobody really knows.

And we are going to find out.

I understand he probably doesn't want a big old party sendoff.

But then part of me says, look, man, we can't just let you slide out of here.

Tarek, nice to talk to you again.

It's been too long, my friend.

Say, B, Mitch.

Good to be with you guys.

Appreciate you giving me a call.

Hey, man, I saw you yesterday.

I'm looking at it. I said, man, who the hell is that dude? I said, that's darn it.

You're looking all slim and trimmed, dog. Yeah, I've dropped a few pounds, B-Mitch. I feel good, man. You know, Father Time was catching up with me, and I had to take some evasive action. I got you, bro. Evasive action. I love it. All right.

So if you had a thousand dollars that I made you wager on whether that was it or not for OV in a Caps uniform, where would you put it?

Yes or no?

Man, I go back and forth.

I go back and forth, and I know he is, too.
