Hello Media Consumers, Brian Curtis and David Schumaker here.

David is in Brooklyn and I'm on Radio Row at the Super Bowl in Miami.

Can I set the scene for you a little bit, David?

Please do.

I am at this freestanding table.

Everybody from Stefan Diggs to Meena Kimes is milling around doing random interviews

with all the sports radio stations of America.

But this is the only place on Radio Row where you're going to hear the words John Bolton

over the next four days.

The only place is not coming up anywhere else.

On today's show we're going to talk about the Iowa caucuses which are six days away

and we catch you up on everything from Joe Rogan's endorsement to Bernie to the Bernie

Centris freak out.

We'll talk about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blowing his top in an interview with NPR

plus Super Bowl conspiracy theories.

But David, we got to start with Kobe.

As everybody knows the former Los Angeles Laker and eight other passengers died in a helicopter

crash on Sunday afternoon.

It was one of those stories that just made everything stop.

I think there's probably only a handful of things that would just make the whole sports

world and probably rest the world come to a halt.

I kind of wanted to talk about covering Kobe with you two ways.
