And you've been you've been cutting it close with the show lately. I mean, it's, it's been a lot of, you know, 6.58 and 30 seconds before you walk into your little studio there. Here's what's happened. I've been waking up earlier. I'm better off waking up at 10 minutes till 7 than waking up at 610 like I did today. Let's do an experiment called Mikey gets up at 6.50 one day and see how he looks for

the 7 a.m. show.

I don't want to know what that was.

What was that?

I hope.

I mean, listen, E.J. is usually a magician with what he does.

I guess that was supposed to be tired, Mike Florio?

I don't know.

I know.

But to me, Freddie, Freddie Krueger is more of what I was thinking. I mean, you look like Freddie Krueger. That's who you really look like. Yeah. I hope you never get that tired that you look like that. That's what I hope. That's not, that's not tired. That's deceased for an extended period of time. That's decomposing. So thanks, E.J. Thanks for nothing. Yeah. Yeah, way to go, E.J. Way to go. Way to make them

look uglier. Perfect. I love it. I love it. Thank you so much. So, wait. So, I mean, you have been cutting it close. Well documented. You're, you're, you wouldn't make it on Tom Cople's football team. Have I been late? Have I been late? No, I don't care. Well, you're to work for tom cobbled's meetings you're you're late for them if you want to do that. No, you have not been late. You have not been late. Also, so how did last night go? Last night was fine. Yeah? Last night was perfectly fine. Well, tell everybody, tell the audience what you're up to. Yeah, there we go. Come on. I mean, buck up, Bart. Let's go. I had to, I like that, by the way.

E.J.'s partially redeemed himself, although it's going to take a long time for me to fully get back in my good graces.

I, you know, there's a bad word in there that probably should be blurred. All right. It's not blurred. It's not blurred in my feed. That's for damn sure.

I, you know, simple poll question. I wanted to know whether or not I should have some whiskey and a big cigar to celebrate the release of playmakers.

There were three options, all of which ended in yes.

Increasingly profane in nature. I almost added a fourth one with Chris's favorite word, yes.

And I went down to the barn. I didn't overdo it. I got to work fourth one with Chris's favorite word, yes. And I went down to the

barn. I didn't overdo it. I got to work today. My obligation primarily is to PFT and to this

program. I got my sleep. I've been waking up earlier than usual this week because it is free agency.

It didn't dawn on me how stupid it was to release a book smack dab in the middle of free agency.

Like, hey, it's our busiest time of the year, so we'll get maximum exposure at PFT for the book.

Oh, wait, it's our busiest time of the year.
