Golick and Smetty here. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to start a podcast with your dad?

Welcome to Golick and Smetty.

I'm Jessica Sputana.

He's Mike Golick Jr.

We have a fill-in today from Mike Golick, Sr.

I hope he does a good job. We'll see which one does better after the end of the episode. I'll decide which goal like I'm going to keep. Mike, it's good to talk to you. How are you doing? I'm doing well. I feel pretty confident in being able to go out here and best my dad and this at this point, who is somewhere in the middle of St. Louis, I think right now with a van full of pugs and my mom and a bunch of potted plants.

Yes. Okay, Mike, I met the pugs for the first time this weekend. I was in South Bend for the Notre Dame Clemson game. We're going to talk about that.

They have a very similar look, very similar vibe. So Papa, if you're listening through Ted,

we miss you. Good to see you again. But no, he's just a wild dude. He just loves too hard. That is the

only thing Ted is guilty of. He is a sweet,

simple little man. He does not know malice. He does not know greed. He does not know any vices.

All he knows is love. And because he's got a sought off little bulldog tail, he can't wag his

tail. So he just wiggles his butt every time he sees you. And he gets real low to the ground because

he's so excited. and then he turns that
