| 0:00.0 | And Rico just made an off-color joke about Jeremy Otto's fertility. |
| 0:22.8 | It's 5 o'clock. I have three kids. I don't have eight, three. Right. But you also said you had a lot more time. And Rico said with knowing you, you could have made another kid. Wow. So, all right, let's do it. Rico's on one. Kenny's betting on seven different tracks. It is Derby 152 weekend. We are talking Pistons, too. |
| 0:23.5 | It's simple. |
