Darren talked with Richard Deitsch first, so I was happy that we had a chance to chat about their conversation early in the episode. The interview starts about halfway through.

Also, because of course the Profar PED suspension news broke right after we finished taping Monday's podcast, we talked about that for a while and what it might mean for him and his value going forward. We also dug a little bit into the appeal process for the suspension, which seems nonsensical.
