| 0:00.0 | Hey, pull up a chair. It's tax on tap with David Axelrod and Mike Murphy. |
| 0:16.0 | Foxes change and my worst poles have always been from Foxes. Something going on at Fox. |
| 0:27.0 | I'll tell you right now and I'm not happy with it. |
| 0:36.0 | David, first of all, welcome back. Returns from your secret mission here on |
| 0:41.0 | Haxon Tap. So the Fox bromance is on the rocks with the president. What's your take? |
| 0:46.0 | Well, first of all, let me thank Paul Begalla for sitting here in my place last week. |
| 0:52.0 | I'm glad you invited me back. He was fantastic. So it was good of him to give the chair back. |
| 0:58.0 | I felt like, you know, the story about Wally Pip and Lou Gehrig. The guy who took the day off and Lou Gehrig played for the next 14 years took over that day. |

| 2:20.0 | A real fight broke out. |
| 2:21.0 | Yeah, ruined everything. |
