Welcome to the program.

We got a lot to talk about.

Come on in, stay a while.

Oh, look who's back.

Polly's back.

Yay.

Yay.

I thought we almost lost you yesterday. Took one for the team. Yeah.

I checked the obituaries. Didn't see your name and I thought, all right, you'll be back and here you are. Would have been a tribute show. It would have been lovely. And nobody's happier than Fritzy

is, that Pauley is back. Let's do it. Yeah. Pritzy sent me a lovely text yesterday to make sure I was feeling okay. Yes, he took JC three days. Oh. It took Paul one day. Oh, okay. All right. That's right. I got a call yesterday morning early, early. And it, you know, Pauley's name came up. And I thought, okay, this can't be good. I thought, well, maybe it's traffic or his kid's school was canceled, bringing the daughters into, you know, the man cave. And all of a sudden, it's like, I said, yo. And then your wife goes, hey, it's Dana. And I go, oh, no. He's done. Oh, it's it. This is it. This is it.

And then she said that you're under the weather. And I said, Paul, he's never under the weather. But we're glad you're back. And why not? Because here we are with March Madness. We got Aaron Roger. We got a lot of things to talk about. By the way, what a whiff by me. You're supposed to sick out on Thursday and Friday of March Madness Week so you can watch games. What a dork I am.
