Thank you everyone for being here.

First of all, I want to start with our fans.

I want to, actually I need to say I'm sorry because the results obviously just haven't been there.

It's not something I'm proud of and it's something that I want to get right.

Ultimately, it flows up to me, and I take responsibility.

So I do feel that today is a step in the right direction.

Welcome back into the Spiegel and Home Show

with Mark Grotie and Russ Dorsey filling in.

Russ.

Yes, sir.

It is possible.

And I don't know if I could just come out and say it

and declare this at this point.

But it is possible that I like Michael

Rinesdorf, the bull's owner, the bull's boss. He is an interesting individual, just getting to hear

him the last couple of times. You could feel the meatball in him. Yeah. But you could also feel the

angst of wanting to be better.

And I don't know that in my life, Russ, and you've been to many of these press conferences as

well, and I've covered it all in this now. You know how they usually go.

You know how they go. I also don't think I've ever heard at least as sincere of an opening statement apology,

if ever hearing the word, I'm sorry about what's been going on.

And it felt sincere right there coming from Michael Rinesdorf.
