Welcome back to a Misery Monday, presented by Cheniga Miles, a 2025 top workplace. Visit Careers with M-IOS.com. We head out now to the rude guest hotlines. Say good morning to our pal, Chris Russell, for the colleague check-in. Of course, he's the host from 1 until 4 p.m. on the team 980. What's up, rooster? Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Roosty. Happy post Thanksgiving. How are we? Doing great. A little tired, not much sleep last night. I hear you. I haven't been getting much sleep for a different reason. I've been hacking and barking like crazy for the last week. Got a sick rooster. Sick rooster on our hands. Oh, it sucks. but you you know, just trying to get on the men, fellas. So I didn't go to the game last night. It was the first home game missed of the season. I didn't want to infect anyone else. You know, my luck would be I would go into the locker room after a game, great, you know, epic game like that. And then I would give everybody a cold call flu, whatever I've got.

And then I would be blamed for the ship sinking even further.

You would definitely be blamed.

They were more incompetent.

So I would say a little bit of both, little from column A, column B, but if I have to choose between one or the other, I would say the officials, because that had more of a direct impact on the game. So I would go there. But God, was it, like, right? I haven't been able to hear all you guys show. Like, it was so annoying from the start. Like, both of them were like. You know, it did bother me as much as it bothered most of the audience. The audience appeared to be very, very

bothered by it. I didn't care. I guess Marriottah pronounced it that way himself when he did

the little intros. Did anyone ask Marcus, maybe we can find out, maybe somebody can ask this

week, why he decided to make a point of, you know, suggesting that that's how his name should

be said. And no, is the answer for me. I don't know if anybody even knew that because he's been here

for two years, not like he got here two weeks ago. Right. And to my knowledge, he's never made any

kind of inference or reference to that. Now, normally I'm at these games, or, you know, when they run the intros,

I'm not exactly paying attention to that, but it was just something that audibly
