After breaking down the State of the Sharks, Mike and Doug start the first of several episodes where the Sharks big questions are asked and answered.  Like the Sharks organization, the dudes want to ask the right questions in the right order, and they start this week with the two biggest- 1) how much do we spend, and 2) what do you do with the big stars.  Several more questions will follow in later episodes.
