| 0:00.0 | All right, straight to the people. |
| 0:01.8 | Go to Mark, 971. Mark, what's going on, pal? Hey, guys, love the show. Thank you for taking my call. Really appreciate you guys. I think you got the best sports talk in the nation. Oh, my man. That's very kind of you. What's on your mind? Well, this is for Rico. It was just before J.Mo's first game. |
| 0:22.1 | It was my first time calling in, and I alluded to the fact that they might be afraid of what Jemo's capable of doing, |
| 0:28.6 | in which RICO slammed the phone down on me and laughed and said, |
| 0:32.2 | they didn't hire him to be a decoy. |
| 0:34.5 | And you guys just announced that. |

| 1:29.3 | Now, I disagreed with the people who said he was going to have this explosive season of beyond that because there's not a target share available. |
| 1:39.1 | Now, look, the buy week is coming up. |
| 1:42.8 | I want to wait and see before we view this that this is going to be a full-time thing. |
| 1:48.1 | I think John Morton, there are things to work out. |
| 1:51.7 | We brought it up earlier. |
| 1:53.0 | They are O for the season on 3rd and 10 plus. |
