Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in, welcome back to another

mount book more on Buckeye Talk and I am sick to my stomach. Whoa, isn't that a good way to start a podcast, Doug

Lamarice, Steven Means, Nathan Baird. Usually I'm not sick to my stomach until we're about 10 minutes into the

podcast and I see where it's going. It's not a good sign that you're starting off
