Hey, Pat Sullivan here, and if you're ready to start the new year taking care of you,

then my friends at Hope Plumbing are here to help.

For the month of January, get softer skin and hair, spotless glassware,

take better care of your home appliances, and save money with a $200 off any new water softener.

Let's celebrate the new year with the gift of soft water

and ditch annoying scale buildup, failing appliances, and rough skin and nails. Call my friends

at Hope Plumbing today. I will be honest with you. It feels almost unnecessary to have an

introduction for our next guest.

He is a basketball icon in the state of Indiana, and you will never meet,

and I can tell you that as sure as today is Thursday,

you will never meet anybody who saw him play that will tell you anything other than

Rick Mount is the greatest shooter they

have ever seen in the game of basketball. He was, of course, on the 1969 Purdue team that made

the Final Four. They got all the way into in the Final Four, the national championship game

before dropping to UCLA. But Rick Mount joins us on the program now. Rick, it is a true pleasure.

How are you? Okay, Jake. How are you done?

You know what? I'm excited for Purdue. I'm excited for their fans and, you know, just this run,

excited to talk to you as well. So let's begin with this. I mean, you are, you know, one of the,

if not the all-time great at Purdue and now you get a chance to see your alma mater in the final four.

First of, just your reaction about where they are now and your thoughts on the job Matt Painter's done.

Matt's a great coach, and he's done a great job bringing these guys to where they are right now.

And the team is playing well.
