I'm filling in for the next couple of days here on the show.

Reunited with my bearded brother, Kelly Bidlin, as we've got a lot to get to over the course of the next three hours. We have one ticket punched into the conference finals. We also have another series tied up at twos in a very unexpected way. And we have an awesome guest list for you today before we get to all that. I just want to say hello to my bearded brother who, you got to stop losing weight because you're making me look worse and worse by the day. I'm getting fatter.
