| 0:00.0 | Good morning, Buck Nudders. Welcome to the Buck Nuts morning |
| 0:29.8 | at 5 here on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021. I am Dave Biddle. I am very happy |
| 0:35.0 | joined by Mr. G Scott senior, aka the Buck I preacher. A lot to get into, sir. Let's |
| 0:41.7 | start with CJ Stroud. It wasn't that long ago. A few weeks ago, people were |
| 0:45.5 | wondering, is this guy maybe there's too much hype about him? Now, he's got the |
| 0:50.9 | third best odds to win the Highsman Trophy and he's looking like a stud. I know |

| 1:02.6 | time. Tell the listeners maybe some stories about CJ Stroud and where you see him |

| 1:46.5 | out, but not with CJ Stroud. This dude was incredible down at the opening. I |
| 1:53.1 | remember he and my son after some of the games in our replay, they were playing |
| 1:57.7 | chess and my son had said, uh, dad, this, this dude is special. I said, I, I |
| 2:05.5 | know, I see it. And I was on that hype train when he was unknown, when he was, if |
| 2:13.9 | you will, kind of, he was a three star. And he had got the invite to the opening. |
