| 0:00.0 | Let's get it going on a Friday, an absolutely gorgeous afternoon in Metro Detroit. |
| 0:05.6 | You're stuck with me. |
| 0:08.1 | No, Stony, no Rico, no problem. |
| 0:10.7 | Show goes on. |
| 0:11.8 | We got a lot to get to, so let's jump right in. |
| 0:14.3 | You heard Otto's update minus the ethnic slurs, and we do apologize about that. |
| 0:18.4 | Jeremy can't control himself. |
| 0:19.6 | The point is, David, you wanted one segment on Beasley, let's do it, because I think this is |

| 1:09.0 | like the team moved on from him, and I do feel like most people liked him more than they should have thought he was better than he actually is. |
| 1:17.9 | But I have no problem if he feels aggrieved because that came out so fast right as he was about to sign a contract. |
| 1:28.5 | And I mean, David, let's say he was going to sign three at, I don't know. |
| 1:34.3 | The report was three at 42, I believe. |
