Hey Alexa, play 98.7 ESPN.

0:16.0

Michael and Don, the way God intended. That's right. The way it all started, the way

0:23.3

probably ends, you know, Peter's on a rocket chip to start him down, so he probably

0:27.1

leaves us at some point. That's the plan, right? I mean, I would think that he's always

0:32.2

working on it. This is a way station that eventually will be just in the way. And that will
