| 0:00.0 | Good morning Bucknoters, welcome to the Bucknotes morning 5 here on Friday. |
| 0:29.9 | April 28th, 2023, I am Dave Biddle, very happy joined by Jonah Booker |
| 0:34.2 | for his usual Friday visit. A lot to get into my friend. We're going to talk |
| 0:37.4 | NFL draft reactions and even look ahead a little bit to where the |
