| 0:00.0 | All right, so I'll get to the calls in a second. |
| 0:02.8 | I want to ask a question I think a majority of fans can involve themselves in, |
| 0:07.2 | and they both involve Illich-owned teams. |
| 0:12.0 | And maybe I'm missing the mark, you're welcome to tell me. But I feel like the |

| 1:23.8 | ten years and win nothing or one year and win everything you know the answer |
| 1:29.4 | guys are you comfortable that the Tigers and wings are seemingly being guided by no standards. |
