Welcome to Beyond the Ring, a podcast that covers all things in the stock show industry from the informative to the insane, starring Ryan Rash.

I don't do things for the response or for controversy. I'm just me.

And Dale Hummel.

Your actions and words should always agree with each other.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring. This is Dale Hummel, along with co-star,

Ryan Rash. Hello, hello, hello. Ryan, I'm torn on what, what I start with, whether we start

with the eclipse that I just found out about today or the LSU women's basketball team.

Oh, please don't go into the basketball team. I was in a group text with some people last night for like three hours over that damn game and I'm over it.

And I do. So you were, you were aware. I didn't even think you'd be aware that it happened.

Why, why does it interest me? I don't know why it interests you. I'll tell you why I'm aware it's happened because I have a bunch of people close to me that are crazy about women's sports.

And then some fruit loop the other day posted on Facebook comparing me to the LSU ladies coach.

And so it's all been a thing.

Yeah, I am over all of it. So, whatever. I did not watch it,

but did I saw a post and maybe it wasn't accurate, but did the LSU women's team not walk

off the court during the national anthem or was not present? I do not know because I did not watch

it. I told you I was in a group text.

Now, I saw something and it wasn't on Fox or whatever.

It was like, I don't know, maybe on Twitter or something that alluded to that fact.

They didn't walk off, but they were not present during the national deal.

But I don't know, to be honest.

Well, that in itself got my attention and the fact they got beat by seven points to Iowa.
