I'm Daniel Alarcon, and this is my friend, is much more famous than I am. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green, co-host of the podcast The Away End with my old friend Daniel. On our podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. And I am here in Louisville. I'm Shannon the Dude being joined by Ryan Lemon. And I believe Mario is on here with us as well. You guys are in St. Louis from the Airbnb. Good morning, guys. How are you? Mario still asleep. Oh, well, I thought it was going to be joined by you and Mario. Well, maybe at some point. Yeah, here's the thing, man. Mario operates at his own time. He's on Mario time. He's not worried about, you know, the pre-show or anything else going on. If it's a little icy out there, he might come to work. He might not. You know, he told me yesterday. He goes,

look, I drive a nice car. I couldn't risk wrecking that nice car. I go, all right, I got you,

Mario, the diva. But anyway, Ryan, good to have you here with me this morning. And would you agree

with me that today and tomorrow are the best two days in all of sports.

We love it.

We love these days.

And like for today for Kentucky fans, we can sit and watch basketball all day long, stress free, worry free, just kind of enjoy watching all these games since we don't play tomorrow

at noon.

But then it's the since they play the early game, tomorrow night will be everybody doing

the same thing, just pulled up in your favorite chair, your favorite drink and watch games all day yeah now you guys are in st louis or as
