| 0:00.0 | All right, Stacey Dale's here with us on CHCO. |
| 0:03.1 | I wanted to talk to you because you have been covering playoff teams, games for years now, |
| 0:10.4 | parked out at hotels at the Super Bowl and things like that. |
| 0:13.5 | So you've been around this, but this is new to us here in Chicago a little bit. |
