| 0:13.6 | Hello, Joe. How are you? I'm good, and as you can see, I work for TIFO. Yes, I can see that very loud and clear, and I like the way it looks. Now, for listeners |

| 1:43.7 | Now, if you like the power of online, |
| 1:45.8 | I think one thing that you'll really, really like is TIFO merch. No, not that. Is The Athletic? |

| 2:02.7 | weekend, JJ, when I read, well, actually it was Monday morning, I read Michael Cox's piece on |
