0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company.
0:18.1	Coming late Wednesday evening, it's February 8th for another hour here after the Wolves won in Utah.
0:25.4	I don't even know what the final score was.
0:27.4	They won by a lot.
0:28.8	And I am joined by Kyle Teigy from Score North for this initial reaction, I guess we'll call it,
