| 0:00.0 | Welcome into the Alain-Inquire podcast Live Pod is Joy Wagner and I, Jeremy Warner, |
| 0:17.5 | Milan-Iquire publisher, are live at State Farm Center. |
| 0:19.8 | Derek Piper got home to put Kade down to sleep. |
| 0:23.6 | And then we have a lot to talk about tonight, boys, on the selection Sunday night because we have two Illinois teams in the NCAA tournament. |

| 1:22.3 | He's going to join us if you're on the live YouTube channel. |

| 1:35.6 | seat and possibly slide there. And I think we all were looking around. We saw Sacramento, Missouri pop up |
