| 0:50.6 | Randy Mueller, how are you, Randy? |
| 0:52.4 | Doing good, Mike. |
| 0:53.1 | A little under the weather this week, so I'm anxious to do this and take my mind off being sick, so I'm looking forward to it. |
| 1:00.0 | Well, you're looking good. Looks like you got a haircut. I couldn't tell you were sick. I don't think anyone's going to be able to tell on the broadcast. You can talk hurt, right? |
| 1:07.6 | I've been told I was sick before with clear takes on certain things. So now it's legitimate. I'll be, I'll be not, not 100%, but I feel good.
