Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to Buckeye Talk, Doug Lamarys, Nathan there, and Rapid Fire, what have

0:31.4

there some things that we've said before, and people have reacted to

0:34.9

what we're reacting to, we have some gymnoles things here, Nathan, that I want us to

0:49.4

dive into, and there are some astute points being, and I think it's in the
