00:00update just out of respect to Tito's privacy, but I did want to provide an update today.
00:07Tito is in the process of feeling better. He won't be here tonight. There's going to
00:14be a few more days until he's ready to rejoin the team, but we remain hopeful that will
00:18happen in the not-too-distant future. So beyond that, again, I'm not going to go into a lot
00:25of detail out of respect to Tito's privacy, given that it's a medical condition. I don't
00:31want to go into too many details beyond that.
00:37Chris, can you tell us, though, is it just a matter of Tito just feeling better over
00:41the next couple of days, or are they still trying to figure out the best course of treatment?
00:45Yeah, I think mostly right now it's getting Tito to a point where he's just more comfortable,
00:51where he can resume the duties that he has as his manager. But he won't be returning
00:57tonight, and again, like I said, our best guess is it will take a few days before he's
01:02ready to return.
