Here's the thing that makes life so interesting.

The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive.

The theory of competition says that the strong can't get the kick.

That's right.

See, every long shot comes from behind underdog will tell you this.

The other guy may be the favorite.

The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough.

But what the odds don't know is this isn't a math test.

This is a completely different kind of test, one where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.

So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking,

just remember out here the results don't always add up.

No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted

when the race is on, all bets are wrong.

Don't be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling uncle.

And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, we got ourselves a game.

It's seven minutes past the hour.

Thank you so much for tuning into the kickoff hour here on the Rick and Bubba show.

I am Speedy alongside Greg Burgess and Michael Helms.

We've got happy Gilmore here.

He is running the phones and pulling show prep and stretch Armstrong helping Adler there in the TV room with YouTube.

He's got it live in HD and we're set for the day.

Thank you so much for being here and making us part of your day.
