0:00.0	You're listening to the White Sox Talk podcast brought to you by Win Trust.
0:08.7	Chuck Arfine here, and for White Sox fans, it has been an exciting offseason with all the
0:13.9	moves they've made signing Grandal, Caichael, Encansohn, etc. But if you're a Cubs fan,
0:19.1	like David Kaplan, the offseason has been in one word,
0:21.9	Cap? Miserable. So here on the podcast, we're going to look into how the White Sox have been

1:29.6	the chin since 2016. So it's a time of rejoicing right now and a time to have fun at the
1:36.6	Cubs expense. So we appreciate you coming on to take a little punishment, so to speak.
1:41.0	And welcome to the roast of David Kaplan, right?
1:46.8	Like, Jeff Ross should be here as a rose master for this one.
1:48.9	Lather up, big boy, let's go.
