| 0:00.0 | All right, so Baldi, I just want to give a genesis of a calm morning for you. |
| 0:04.1 | I was, I'm going through Twitter and I'm thinking, who can we have on to talk draft and who's doing interesting things? |
| 0:10.5 | And then, of course, Baldi pops up. |
| 0:12.3 | And the first guy you're talking about is Gabe Yakus. |
| 0:17.0 | I think I said it wrong. |
| 0:18.5 | Accus. |
| 0:19.0 | Accus. |
| 0:19.7 | No, Jackus. |
| 0:20.5 | Accus. Accus. Accus. Acus. |
| 0:21.1 | Jackass. |
| 0:22.3 | Jackass. |
| 0:23.2 | Whatever. I don't care. The Duke can play. You're the jackass. Yeah, I am, clearly. That's my bet. I wrote it down five times. I still got it wrong. That's terrible.

| 1:11.7 | He was the first guy up. |
| 1:13.2 | And I kind of liked that. |
| 1:14.1 | This is sort of a leadership thing. |
| 1:15.3 | I saw the same thing from Mike Green last year when he was coming out of Marshall. |
| 1:19.8 | Like he led every drill. |
| 1:21.0 | And so that kind of like, he kind of popped for me. |
| 1:24.6 | But when I go back and I watch him, I think he's a great looking prospect. Like, |
