And welcome back to the Wolverine Live. I'm John Borton, here with my broadcasting partner, Tom Crawford. He of all kinds of fame. Obviously, he has his own podcasting network. He's an East Lansing resident, so he understands what goes on behind enemy lines.

He's on trespass with Jack Ebling.

He takes on Rico Beard and others on that show.
